david.atwell Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Here we go! Welcome to Hurt and Heal 9! The Hurt and Heal Game Here's the goal: Make your favorite choice win, and make your least favorite choice lose. Winning and Losing: Winning: The first choice that reaches 100 (or the last choice standing) wins, ending the game. Losing: As each choice reaches 0, it is removed from the list. It has lost. In the event that only two choices remain, both scores are reset to 50 and the "shootout" begins! What you do: "Hurt" a choice by subtracting 10 from its score. "Heal" a choice by adding 5 to its score. (You must do both of these in each turn) Rules: You may only "Hurt and Heal" once each day. Once a choice reaches 0, it is gone. You may not re-add it to the list. Let it die an honorable death. :-) The posted scoreboard comprises the only options. You may not add new options. Discussion will be held before each edition of (+/-); discuss choices there. If someone "beats you" in posting, change your scoreboard to reflect the change. Be courteous. Keep it on topic. You can talk briefly about how you chose what to hurt and heal, but take any off topic threads to . Also, if you have any ideas for the theme for the next Hurt & Heal, post them underneath your scoreboard. That'll make prep for the next one easier. Everyone clear? All right! The theme for this Hurt and Heal Game is... Best Invention! Here's the starting scoreboard, presented in alphabetical order and assembled after very little thought and careless consideration. Well, maybe not completely careless. I've tried to leave out the basic Simple Machines (screw, wheel, pulley, lever) as those are so basic. These are slightly higher-level inventions, the creators/discoverers of which we can get pretty close to identifying.

Sure, it may seem self-evident to you; but maybe not to everyone! It's obvious that everything on this list revolutionized the world in one way or another. Try to make clear why you think your invention did so more than the others. Let's do this thing! Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
