April 7th, 2007 4:03 AM
The Encyclopedia on "Dare"
Players 2 or more
Age range 8 and up
Setup time none
Playing time highly variable*
Random chance Low
Skills required Creativity
* Play time varies greatly depending on the number of players and their willingness to perform dares.
note: I rearranged these messages so that they read top to bottom.
I sent out my battle cry ('kay. Battle squeak) via a Myspace bulletin... it didn't take long. No one can resist a War of Escalating Dares...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..... that one made me laugh out loud. I dare you to try something new. Read Terry Pratchett's book "The Truth".

I didn't think about it but, I can read a 400+ page book in a couple of days. If you like you can substitute the book with either the Pilot episode of "Firefly" or the theatrical release "Serenity", both by Joss Whedon.

i will substitute the book, cause i'm right in the middle of camus' plague... (but i will put it on the list.)
pilot episode... joe has it.
i dare you to write a substantial blog on the subject of your choice.

From: R
I'll send you another dare when my blog is done. I'll have to think on it a bit.

From: R
OK there's the blog. Have you watched "Firefly", yet?

Are you ready for a new dare? I DARE you to have a 30+ minute phone conversation. I heard you don't like phones.

any updates? any new dares? didn't really escalte that much. we want more!

I thought that in a 'dare-war' that the dares had to be completed in order to escalate to the next reciprocal dare. Completion? I want more.
Definitely read The Truth or at least some Discworld. It's great.
