This is my own little online version of the game Wise and Otherwise, which is very fun once you get into it. The rules are as follows: - The reader posts the first half of some obscure quote, as well as it's origins.
- Five people wishing to play post that they will do so.
- Each of the players makes up their own second half for the quote, trying to make it sound like the real thing. They send their finish for the quote to the reader via a private message, not letting any other player know what they wrote.
- The reader receives all of the fake finishes to the quote, and puts them in random order along with the real ending in a post.
- Each of the players casts one vote via a post for which ending they think is the real one. They may vote for their own to get other people to vote for it, also.
- When all players have voted, the reader talleys up the scores. Each player gets two points if they vote for the correct answer, and one point for every vote that their fake answer received. Whomever has the most points is the new reader, and must think of a new quote of their own. In case of a tie, the previous reader picks the new reader.

I'll be the first reader. This is a Czech saying:
He who goes for a day into the forest...

Yes, at first. Would you like to attempt it? If so, just post that you will be playing and send me a private message telling me the ending for the quote that you made up.
