I came up with a good game, but I don't think I can post it in the Forum Games thread for reasons that will become obvious when I explain it. It doesn't matter that it would be huge fun, and give people the opportunity to jokingly do something that they have previously found annoying, and people would learn something, but it would have to go in PPR to die an unfunny death, so I may never give birth to:

The Gaslighting Game

You play by gaslighting the person above you. There are only a few basic moves, and the fun part is finding new ways to use them. You can create a false equivalence with something irrelevant, as long as it sounds vaguely possible. You can demand a detailed explanation of something that will be difficult to explain, or would waste a lot of the other person's time if the tried to explain it. You can put forward a nonsense explanation, as long as you sound confident enough about it. You can accuse the person of whatever you were just accused of, and even ramp it up a notch if you like. There are only a few more moves, and you win by not making it obvious which one you're using.

Yeah well I have half the police department hot on my ass right now...

Maybe when I leave which I brought up going to medical state to my mom and I was accused of doing that and quote "God knows what else" and she accused me of doing crack.

So yeah...

I am drunk because I want to be drunk, I am high on pills because I want to be high on pills, I did it for me. It might be unsafe but I am not getting outta of this b***h quick enough. Trying to relax to movie, I don't know, my life sucks, I am not going lie I was suicidal before I was drunk but I am okay... More of the same...

Well after calling me crazy and accusing me of being on drugs I am not on, she won't answer her phone and won't accepted blocked numbers so...

I am going to down some pills and go to the bank to cash a $2000 check to help me leave this s**t behind.

And I did say that, she told me doubted my sincerity and told me I wanted her to die...
