    What is this?
    An "icebreaker" is an activity that helps people relax and begin talking to new people. It has the eventual goal of getting to know your acquaintances better and hopefully make a closer friend or two.

    This is an interest thread to help match bored/lonely people who want to get know other people in the setting of an icebreaker game. The entirety of this game takes place in PM (mostly because of the privacy).

    How to play?
    1. Post in this thread whenever you feel like playing (posting here means you're willing to play!)
    MAKE SURE YOU WRITE WHO YOU ARE PM'ing IN YOUR POST
    2. PM the person immediately above you and play the following icebreaker:

    20 Random Question Icebreaker:
    The Rules
    1. Every turn, you respond to one question and ask one question.
    2. You're allowed to "pass" whenever you like, if you don't like a certain question.
    3. You're allowed to ask anything. Nothing is off limits.
      1. Note that this doesn't mean your conversation partner will answer everything. The point of this game is to ask questions that you think your conversation partner will answer.
    4. There's no time limit to responding to PMs. There's no rush and take as long as you need to get through the 20 questions.
    5. What gets said in the game stays in the game. No screenshots. If you get caught betraying someone's trust (and it comes to my attention), you're banned from playing this game in the future! D:<
    6. If someone says they don't want to play with you, respect that, and post in the thread again to find someone else to play with.

    Just take the initiative to PM somebody above you (preferably the person immediately above you). I think in your case, that's @Nom de Plume!

    I got one of these as a homework assignment at school. One of the questions was "How are your titties?" Pretty sure it was a typo but I still asked alot of people.

    ... Judging from the results of the 'do you have friends' thread poll in general chat this is a bad idea. Also, 20 questions as an icebreaker? The only time someone I first met tried to ask me twenty questions in a single conversation was when it was a high school boy and half of them were 'will you go out with me?' In some form or another.

    Edit: If you really want to pm me, do so. I will answer all of the questions. Maybe with truth, maybe not. It depends on the question. And the questioner.

    I think that was what I intended.... maybe people should be more clear about when they are playing.

    ((I think the next person to play should pm @AardwarkThe2nd))

    No. Absolutely not. Most of us don't like WP.
