Forum Games on Sangent

Usually, when Sangent is blocked at your school, only the domain nerdnirvana.org is blocked, not subdomains.

So if nerdnirvana.org is blocked for you, try http://forums.nerdnirvana.org/.

What are forum games? Wikipedia says that it is a text-based multiplayer game played on an Internet forum. Simple examples include word association, hangman, “Count to a Million”, “what are you listening to?”, “which do you prefer?”, and variations of Photoshop tennis.

Many games take advantage of the linear nature of certain forums. One example is “Person Above You”, in which users write about the user that posted before them. A variant is “Person Below You”, in which users write about the next poster, who replies with “true” or “false”.

It’s also a great place to meet others who go to this site.
