When/How Did You Discover Forum Games?

Declan A Walsh

My first contact with Forum Games was in November 2019, when I discovered a thread about One Hit Wonders. I'm not sure how I came across it - was it a random search or a link from another forum. I came to it from a music perspective. I had not seen (or knew) about the nominations thread so I was a bit confused! Having got over that, I started to take part in other songs threads, like the '70s, '80s and the '90s. Sometimes I nominated songs as well as voting. I also took part in a few Christmas related threads, like movies or songs.

I still from time to time take part in the music tournaments, but I discovered the strange but wonderful Sheep/Heeps/Peehs threads! What I like about them is that you submit your answers beforehand and your job is done. None of this watching the threads in case you miss a vote as per the music or movies tournaments. But the banter is brilliant and all those Gif attachments, which I am useless at doing - especially in the Reveal threads!

So, how did you get here?

Explains why I've never heard of it, the only cooking ingredient I use is Meat...

Its amazing for making toffee / caramel. If you have a sweet tooth you will have eaten it at one stage or another, in one form or another.

On the topic of milk, when preparing a cappucino, do you add coffee or milk first?
My coffee machine adds the milk first but if I was making it I would add the coffee first

So in the Walrus sign up threads the host will have different categories such as:

Songs to wake up to
Songs to eat breakfast to
Etc.

You make your selection for the categories (normally a single song in each) and PM them to the game host who proceeds to listen to them and ranks them in order of their preference.

Ah grand. I was overthinking it then. Didnt think it could be that simple lol. I do enjoy the music ones so may jump into the next one

I had a Vietnamese coffee stout last week, and I was surprised that it was so sweet until my wife told me that Vietnamese coffee was a thing. I had just assumed it was where the coffee beans for the stout had come from. I don't drink coffee, but it was really nice beer.

Ah yeah, I'm sure I've had it on many occasion in something, I just don't get enjoyment out of cooking or baking, so I wouldn't go out of my way to make anything, so I would never have paid much attention to the baking ingredients aisle in the supermarket...

When it comes to cooking, if I can't just simply add heat to something, I'm usually just not bothered....

...if you put the tin, unopened, in boiling water it turns into caramel

One of the easiest things in the world, and awesome spread on toast

Just looked it up, takes 3hrs apparently :eek:

That scares the life out of me, boiling an unopened tin of anything for hours.

No stunts pulled here, I just buy the already made caramel!

The only thing I can ever be arsed to bake/make is banoffee

But not too often because I'll be eating it for breakfast lunch and dinner

Controversial opinion, but Toast is over-rated.

Ham and Cheese Toastie on occasion is superb (especially if you're in a pub with a few pints down you), but outside of that I don't really get the appeal...

We should have some sort of Controversial Opinions type game...

Now if only there were a food quiz! It seems to be the only thing in life that I can confidently say I know what I'm taking about

Well for what its worth I would rather eat a slice of Toast than spend time around a Dog...

So to re-cap

Cat > Dog

Toast > Dog

Dog loses both battles, so the big questions is what wins in Toast vs Cat...

Never thought it would be something I'd have to compare, but these are the sort of things that happen in this great corner of the world that is Forum Games...

Still allergic to them, but...

Gotta go with Cat

Cat > Toast > Dog

Electric Nitwit

Toast and cat is a paradox...

How ya like them apples!?!

I like Apples just fine. Especially in a pie or a crumble.

Oh no, you put me last, my non-existent feelings aren't hurt... :pac:

Milk is great and all, but I prefer the forum games approach of beer, followed by another beer.

Dogs or Beer is the one true question

Actually scratch that. If we get confirmation that Stu is coming to the next beers I will go buy 3 massive S T and U balloons and make him mind them for the night.

I might even stretch to an actual tin of condensed milk.

I remember searching the pub for a table with a ton of condensed milk on it

Yeah, I could see you looking but I didn’t want to shout kitten across the pub.

I'm here since the beginning. Jayop started a thread in after hours about a strange game. It caught my interest so I thought I'd give it a go. I dip in and out of here now. Love the music russes and laws

I miss the beers a lot. They were really great and I met some nice people.

I came to forum because I love Omackeral's flag tournaments. I remember being annoyed at his tournament being moved to "some obscure forum".

Next was the Die Hard werewolf at Christmas. I've been entering a few games since and find myself watching out for them now.

I'm buying condensed milk later.

And it isn't at all cliquey which is nice

I was a big time lurker of Boards and always saw Werewolf mid game on the recent threads page but finally got to follow a full one in Mario Vs Sonic and I was sold!

Failed miserably at running my own PEEHS, still working on Walrus only on account of not wanting to let Necro and the forum down, I’m just terribly unorganised

Got to mod my most favourite ever werewolf though so not all failures and I’m very happy to read people stayed despite my past transgressions :P

Met some really wonderful people who I care deeply about and would consider my friends and met my boyfriend through it too so even though I’m not as involved as I’d like to be anymore I’ll always have a very special place in my heart for this forum and the people in it

Any chance that a Sticky could be placed on this thread, as there is a constantly evolving membership in Forum Games, and this could act like a record of who has come and gone and of newer members over time? Just a thought!
