RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

A Chinese one I grew up calling 15 20. Very stressful game for me lol
Reminds me of a game we learned from some south Asian students at my school called odd even.
It's a 2 player game. First the players choose odd or even. They bump fists with one hsnd, and show a number at the same time. 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Their numbers are added up and the result is checked if it's odd or even. Whoever called it right wins. But wait that's not the actual game it's just the deciding round. Like the coin toss before the soccer game
Whoever won the deciding round picks "bowling" or 'breaking". Whichever one they pick the other player is the other.
Both players bump fists and show a number(1-6 with only thumb being raised meaning 6) at the same time. The bowling player's goal is to show the same number as the breaking player. If the numbers are different the value of the breaking player's hand is added to their score(starts at 0) and players bump fist again and again until the bowling player calls it right. When they do the breaking player's score is saved and players swap positions. They play one more game the same way with the new breaking player's goal being to exceed the score of the original breaking player. If they do they win. If they're stopped before that they lose.
