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

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

    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 :o:D

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,396 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Toast and cat is a paradox...

    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.

    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 :D

    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.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,392 ✭✭✭LadySkunk


    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 :o 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 :D

    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! :)

    Yes, great to see another person who doesn't like dogs.

    Can't stand the bloody things

    Love cats though!

    Anyway, I discovered the forum just from the home page as it was a best song contest and with lockdown I got into the SHEEP games and even ran a WALRUS and SURLAW. Very friendly corner of boards and given I used to frequent the soccer forum it was a welcome change!

    I didnt even know this place existed until just now

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I think my first game was a wordplay sheep last year. Then a Father Ted tournament, and a few more sheep and peehs since.

    Bit of fun, especially the reveal threads with accompanying gifs and comments. :D
    Fair play to those who run them.

    Oh and the Big Boardser House recently. :D
    That was great crack.

    Has there ever been a dog breed SHEEP or PEEHS?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,484 ✭✭✭✭Tauriel


    As for how I came about to be permanently incarcerated here.... I saw a Harry Potter SHEEP reveal pop up in my feed a good while back and thought I love Harry Potter, I would love to give this a go.

    My first actual game was a rooms of the house kind of sheep which I won! But it was all a ploy to distract me as someone else locked the cell door behind me and I haven't left since and continue my search for a second shot at glory.

    I've had some mixed results in walrus, winning a few and well coming rock bottom too.

    I really like this forum as there's a great bunch of lads and the banter came be great. Anything that is a distraction from lock downs and work is a plus :)

    Maybe not. Could be done somehow though

    Yeah, when I was an admin we tried to discourage too many stickies because a) they take up screen real estate, which can be an issue for some on the mobile site; and b) very often they're either obsolete or completely unnecessary after a short period of time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,396 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    They don't show as stickied on touch, it's just in with my usual threads

    Guess it's pretty much a one time post for most people, then a few reactions. I can't tell you the story of how I found it again :p


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,336 ✭✭✭✭Zaph

    They do. If you go into the forum, at the top, underneath the list of sub-forums, there are a number of threads (4 in FG) with a beige background rather than white. They're the stickied threads. Plus it says Sticky at the start of the thread title. :)

    I said I rediscovered this place because I saw a post somewhere on EN's advent calendar. I remembered where I saw that - in the Christmas forum! Another happy happy forum :)

    Yeah, I nervously set foot into Santa's grotto to do some publicity work! I wasn't sure it would be well received, but everyone was lovely and I think a few came and joined in

    Still only March and I have 15 questions ready for this year's advent calendar :D
    (mind you, that was true in January too, haven't looked at it since)
