Yep, secrets
If you have a secret about your pup and would want to participate in the post-secrets-inspired game of Secrets, Ambassador Kosh would be happy to accept your submissions @ colubra @ gmail.com. And I'm definitely looking forward to doing the post. :)
A few FAQs, for new folks to the comm- or folks who just haven't quite gotten a handle on the way the game works:
1: how do I play?
Well, you cobble together an image and some text to convey some secret about your character. Then you email that to the person running the game, and she or he posts the images, allowing people a chance to guess. Characters come by and guess if one or another of the secrets is someone else.
2: Do people ever fudge the IC guessing of secrets- that is, OOCly tell someone to have their pup guess correctly?
Oh heavens yes! This game can be used to reveal things about a character that it is high time became public knowledge.
3: I don't have photoshop!
You can use Paint, and save as a .png. Some of the better secrets I've done didn't require a high-end graphics program: the trick, to my eye, is in finding the right image to go with the text.
4: But my pup would never reveal his secrets.
Hey, it's the Nexus. A mind-reading pocket calculator might make one for him, if you're inclined to have the secret come out even though the pup would never ever tell his secrets ever.
