This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

Conformity
Who's up for a quick experimental pickup game? 
Conformity is a game where you try to guess what the other players are thinking. I ask questions. You PM me your answers. You get a point for every player who answers each question the same way you did. Whether your answers are "correct" does not matter; it only matters that you match the other players. You can think about your answers as deeply as you want, but do not use Google or any other reference apart from your brain. Also do not discuss your answers with any other player!
1. What is the last word in the dictionary?
2. What country would you like to visit on vacation?
3. Who is the best singer of all time?
4. How many marbles would it take to fill up a blimp?
5. What is the opposite of shoe?
PM me! 
I hope we get lots of players. I'll close the game and post the results once we reach a critical mass!

Re: Conformity
Reposted because I thought I somehow broke the last thread. Turns out it is just the single bizarrest glitch I have ever encountered. 
I have four submissions so far! It's an interesting game to me; it's hard to predict what the community will come together on!

Re: Conformity
I read about that glitch in the other thread... that's really funny.
I'll try to come up with answers by Thursday or so, if this is still up/running them.
Not that it really matters, but it would be kind of interesting to see what people's real answers are after the fact, if they end up posting another one to try and end up with the most-shared answer. Maybe I'm just a stats whore or something, but I think it'd be neat to see what countries people on this forum most want to vaca in. Anyways, don't hold up the thread for me or anything, but I'll try and get a response in a bit later this week.
Edit:I know I still haven't put in anything... I still plan to eventually. It's just been "one of those" weeks. Don't wait up on me, but I haven't forgotten this either.
