Serial Killer Trivia Board Game

Postby Silver_Surfer1 » Tue Jan 29, '08, 6:16 am

Found a news article about a new board game. This sounds evil and gross. Someone would almost have to be insane to want to play this game.

I'll refrain from making a witty comment, though it is ironic that a children's book author would make such a thing. I'd never want to try that game, that's for sure.

I doubt he'll find a publisher to bank roll that one. That is something that should not be published because it does glorify serial killing, even if the guy thinks it doesn't.

On a related tanget, I read about another weird board game the other day. It's called "Don't Drop the Soap." The setting is a prison and the object is for the player to "survive" certain prison scenarios, like riots, jailbreaks, and so on. This was created by the son of a state governor, too. :dizzy:

Omigosh, I would sooo play this game. But my aunt would probably forbid it. lol. BTK !!! Do you get to do that to your opponents!LOL!
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.

People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....
