So I'm sitting in the cafeteria being bored. I thought up this thing called the shenanigans thread... so here it is. If you think it could be a fun idea try and participate some 
Basically, you post up a series of events, story, or tall tale that may or may not have happened to you. The story proposal can be about anything that won't get you banned - paintball, sports, life, a wild story, anything. People then call "shens" if they feel you are being less than truthful about it or they agree with you. After a few people guess (the number of people you let guess is up to you) you either confirm the story or deny it.
For every person you fooled, you get a point. For every person that guesses your story you lose a point. For people who guess... for every person's story you guess right you get 1 point and likewise lose 1 point for an incorrect guess. Your guessing and storytelling score are independent. Each persons have 2 scores, a story score and a guess score to be displayed in your posts here as a ratio "story:guess". So a score of 3:1 may indicate you've fooled 3 people and guessed correctly for 1 stories.
Some guidelines to keep things running smoothly:
If you have any suggestions or ideas to ammend the game, just shout 'em out! I think this could get interesting
Perhaps we could have a small prize of sorts after someone hits a certain number of points. IDK, feel free to comment.

Some guidelines to keep things running smoothly:
- If you are making a guess on someone's proposal, quote their proposal in your post then make your guess. Feel free to comment if you want, no reason to flame though.
- Try and keep proposal posts and guess posts separate so you don't confuse people. You can post as many proposals or guesses as you like.
- make sure you post your current score somewhere in your post in the "story:guess" format. Scoring is based on the honor system, and the more clearly your scoring timeline can be validated... the easier it may be to award a prize for a winner.
- don't be like smart parts and post vague proposals that can swing either way in your favor
- As the proposer, you have the right to validate your claim at any time... but for brevity's sake please try and keep guesses lower than 10 for your proposal.
- When you finally validate your proposal, it might be a good Idea to post who got what points for it, how many you got, and maybe a comment about your proposal. AND BE SURE TO EDIT YOUR ORIGINAL PROPOSAL POST TO INDICATE IT HAS CLOSED.
