All participants (except whomever is 'it'), are equipped with a device which exudes a powerful and unique odor from their person. Everyone is allowed bicycles to roam around the neighborhood. Scent provides larger playing fields as the seeker has added ability.-- daseva, Oct 23 2007 No offence intended, but don't dogs already do this? + for anthropomorphic transmogrification.-- csea, Oct 24 2007 So... is the seeker blind-folded? Not sure I like the idea of having bicycles, since they're harder to hide and more dangerous to try and tag someone who's on a bike... sorry, I don't think this is a good idea-- 21 Quest, Oct 24 2007 OK, 50, how about if you can only hide and/or seek on the bike, but any tag/evasion must be done on foot.-- daseva, Oct 24 2007 Does it have to stink? Or can it be a good odor?-- Spacecoyote, Oct 24 2007 God... we're back to 50 are we? *sigh* Ok, ok, 'sa good idea, I'll admit. I'm just in a pissy mood from work, not your fault at all. Some unkind employee from another department I've never even met before came up to me on her break to make trouble because I work with her sister, who hates me, then when I told her to get out of my department if all she wanted to do was cause trouble, talked to my manager and tried to get me fired... I still haven't heard a word from my manager since, which could be good or bad. I don't know what position she has in the company, how much authority she has, or how popular she is with the management. A co-worker told me she's a dishonest, hypocritical excuse for an employee that nobody likes, but I don't know...
(Note: this anno has been edited for content, by the author)-- 21 Quest, Oct 24 2007 OK, well it would be nice if you weren't in a hateful relationship with her sister to begin with but shit happens and now you must show your dedication to professionalism and you should be fine. Faith in yourself helps, too. Get to the manager faster next time anything like this happens, methinks.
[Spacecoyote], it can smell like whatever you want. Lemme guess, Spacebunny?
[csea], cool words... meaning I've changed anthropomorphism? Like, changed "hey, look at those dogs sniffing around like dogs", to "hey, look at those dogs sniffing around like humans playing hide and go REEK!!!" "Yeah, let's go play right now, woot!!" "F yeah!!"-- daseva, Oct 24 2007 [daseva] I don't think you've changed any fundamental meanings, I just intended a compliment on transforming one animal behavior to another. Brava!
Maybe caniomorphism? !!-- csea, Oct 24 2007 Anything that can stimulate the brain via prehistoric modes is bound to generate a few new high level thoughts . Scent hang time and concentration differential may be a problem .-- wjt, Oct 24 2007 Good luck, [21 Quest].-- pertinax, Oct 24 2007 just give them all bean burritos before play time.-- k_sra, Oct 24 2007 halfbakery
