Truth or Dare! (Take 2, I Think)

Truth: Name one player in the game you really don’t like and tell why. If you can’t answer this question, then do a dare.

Dare: Select two consective ‘dares’ and perform them
Dare #2: Swap one piece of clothing with the person sitting on your right.
Dare #3: For five minutes, whenever you end a sentence, express relief.

I really did draw my questions in that order… it was “Holy #%^!@@^^!, what are the odds!” 200 random questions… 200!!!

Yeah, that was luck of the draw the other night while playing “Truth or Dare” with Pix and a bunch of others. It wasn’t my first time playing, but umm… it had been a while and it was with a whole new bunch of people.

Can you imagine me, Doodle, being asked to answer the first question? Me? Me… Not like anybody? I’m certain there are people out there I don’t like, but what are the odds I would be playing Truth or Dare with them? Uh huh, yeah, right!

So, pick a dare to do instead. Yeeeaaaaaah, right! See, I find truth questions are easier that dares. Would you believe I blush even in SL. Truth questions require I just answer something factually. Dare questions require I step outside my little safe box and “do something!” LOL! Sometimes the dare isn’t so bad, or at least it doesn’t seem so bad, but other times it can be absolutely mortifying. I did receive a few dares that left me squirming, trying to figure out how and if I was going to be able to accomplish them. Imagine: In your skivvies, going into a welcome area and shouting: “I am so horny, I want a noob!” Imagine Doodle doing that. Walking around SL in underwear is bad enough. *blush*

Now, I give people a lot of credit. Take Roo for example, Pix’s bf, he always selects dares – he thrives on them – finds them fun. Wow! Way to go Roo. My hat… no, make that my shirt, is off to you (see further on in the post.) And, it is fun watching him do them. The rest of us… well at least me, while I might find it easier to select truth questions, I don’t totally wimp out – I do hit the “Random” button – that way I can get a truth or a dare question. It’s not that I don’t enjoy a dare question, it’s just that I have a hard time selecting a dare question. What if it is one that I cannot do? Ha! I have not run across one yet (one that I have had to do) but I have seen others do ones I’m not sure I could …. it’s all the luck of the draw.

So, Pickle and I have talked. We wanna hold a Truth or Dare party. What a challenge that will be, but what an absolute riot as well. Challenges include coming up with a list of custom question for the truth or dare wheel (the ones already in the wheel are okay, but … well … some are pretty stupid) and trying to figure out a day/time that works. We’ll certainly figure out the day/time thing, but we need help from others for the questions. You can submit any questions or dares to me or Pickle in our blogs or if ya like online (might wanna keep those questions unknow… hehe.)

Some pointers:

• Truth questions:
  • Try to not use ones that require a yes or no answer – open ended is best
  • Ask for details… heh… who, how, what, when … etc.
  • If someone could answer yes or no, then insert the word “If” at the beginning of the question… kinda makes it hypothetical then
  • If you think they’re gonna dodge the question, direct them to do a dare question (if the dare questions are good enough, should scare the pants off of anybody to answering the truth question)
• Dares:
  • I don’t really need to explain this do I?
  • Embarrassing is best
  • For the purposes of SL, must be something you can do in SL
  • Try to remember that there are some things which can breach SL TOS … so, uh, running naked the a Welcome Area…. not good!

Well… that’s it.

Oh, want to know what piece of clothing we swapped? I gave up a tshirt, and got a pair of shorts in return. Thanks Roo! Wasn’t expecting that … seems when the dare if yours, you should think that somehow, in some way, they’re gonna try to embarrass you. Tip #1 – wear underwear when playing Truth or Dare.

Express relief at the end of every sentence for 5 minutes? Aren’t you so glad that I haven’t done that in this blog, Oh yeah, that feels so goooooood!

Catch ya on the flip side.
