Barbelith Purity Test

Page: (1)2

19:16 / 20.09.06

Tired of the same old nasty internet test checking your karmic value?
Tired of people applying old fangled worn standards to your adventures?

Step up to the challenge to help create a purity test worthy of the name!

Rules:

1. Be creative and as original as possible.
2. One test line per player to be PM'd to the test builder (xk)
3. please avoid the dodgy/lame/offensive questions.

Once we build our test offline in the secrets of PM ether we will post it on Convo for the entire board to play with.

19:18 / 20.09.06

oh just please post here in this thread a "I'm in" message so we know you're playing.

19:47 / 20.09.06

I'm in, but not if it's called a purity test. Purity is so second-last century.

19:58 / 20.09.06

we can call the test something else for certain.

What do you think it should be called?

grant

20:14 / 20.09.06

The Filth Index.

20:29 / 20.09.06

I second that.

20:33 / 20.09.06

you kids playing?

I think we can safely require only test developers get to name it.

grant

20:34 / 20.09.06

yyyesssss.

Feverfew

20:44 / 20.09.06

I'm in.

Could we call it "The Anglican"?

I have no idea why. It just occurred to me.

20:47 / 20.09.06

how about we let folks post name suggests to the thread while I collect test questions in the PM ether and then when the test is assembled we can vote on what to call it?

In.

ooh ooh! I thought of one.

21:25 / 20.09.06

Should questions be given point totals?

21:33 / 20.09.06

Should questions be given lack of pants totals?

21:39 / 20.09.06

I'm going to say you can score your question with whatever system you wish.
Feel free to propose a system if others would like to use it they can when they send me their question.

Personally I'm quite fond of all the varieties so far and don't really feel the need to impose a universal standard.

"But how will we be able to tally our scores?!"

trust me, it will be possible.

Should questions be given lack of pants totals?

Should I take offense at that?

Quail before my shit. Uh...

Elettaria

23:22 / 20.09.06

How about some system for combined perversities? So that if you committed perversity X while also committing perversity Y, say had sex with a Barbelither who was in jail according to the previous test, you get points for both but double points for one of them?

04:03 / 21.09.06

E, go for it.

sorenson

06:37 / 21.09.06

ok i'll give it a go.

Whisky Priestess

12:41 / 21.09.06

Yep, I'm up for it.

But I want it to be so fiendishly long and complicated, with such a Byzantine scoring system, that only the truly impure of heart can (be bothered to) complete it.

Completing a purity test is pretty much a sign that, whatever perversions you might have gotten up to, you shouldn't have. Better for everyone if you'd just stayed home.

Sorry, that wasn't very constructive, was it. Can we have a Puerto Rica multiplier?

15:05 / 21.09.06

This is a test by the people for the people. Better a Puerto Rican multiplier than a GM index.

WP, so far the scoring system is fiendishly difficult. I do need a default for the questions that are coming in without their own scoring sytem. Suggestions for this can be hashed out in the thread but I won't admit to which one I'm using until it's finished. That way we won't cause a chilling effect on the questions arriving with their own splendiferious score points.

I'm in. What is it?

Could we do an A, B, C, system with points at the end so that people aren't tempted to cheat for a higher score?

16:05 / 21.09.06

if you could ask B-lith one silly ass question to test their level of 'purity'/ 'filthiness' what would it be?

PM it to me directly don't post it here.

Send me a pound.

01:20 / 22.09.06

I'm eight types of in.
Well, maybe just one, really.
But with excitement.

pointless & uncalled for

12:15 / 22.09.06

Filth test in haiku
Will this be truely beauty
Or bleed bleed my eyes?

Send me a pound.

14:34 / 22.09.06

It never occured to me that "bleed bleed" could be a verb.
Thankyou for giving me a chance to be corrected.

15:21 / 22.09.06

Kind of like "rage rage" in rage rage against the dying of the night.

Disco is My Class War

19:16 / 22.09.06

I Like The Filth Index.

The haiku idea is even better.

01:05 / 24.09.06

bonus points for people who send me new questions in haiku form. Will suspend the one per person rule for haiku.

We need about 15 more questions anyhow, I'm calling open season on it. PM away!

redtara

22:20 / 24.09.06

Despite my life curently revolving around other people's poo I am strangely drawn to this endevour. Hooray for filth!

15:07 / 25.09.06

redtara, you're making my eyes bleed. (in a good way)

Okay I need 6 more questions before we can wheel the Filth Index out.

19:40 / 25.09.06

heheh two slots left.
