Leemabean327 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Situation came up where the wording for the order was. Today we are going to try and play pokemon and we are going to be playing simon says. It sparked the conversation of does saying you WILL be playing simon says (aka saying we will be playing it in the future) count as a phrase to start it? I get this is a very very very nitpick sort of thing but it could end up tarping some people on accident. It gives the impression that it will be played at some point during the day but might lead to confusion if it is starting now. Just look for clarification. TL;DR Does future tense phrases (We are going to be playing simon says) count as the start of SS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joKer Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 If i say were going to go play obs then tell them to play soccer do they go to obs anyway cause i said we would? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDevil6193 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Common sense. If your tarp kills 75% of ts(considering there are alot ts and not less than 10) then you are derp and you deserve to be tlisted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fattmattlovesspaghetti Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 lol Lead may start simon says through saying any reasonable variation of "we are playing simon says". Likewise, saying any variation of "we are no longer playing simon says" will end the day. You can NOT tarp Ts with a fake starting/ending simon says and claim you said it wrong. "We are going to be playing simon says" is a legitimate way to start it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in future tense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattmattlovesspaghetti Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 it doesnt matter what hes asking, its what the bible says. Who is gonna say we are gonna play simon says without starting simon says? like reddevil said with those amazing words up above COMMON SENSE.

Bonbon Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 The general trend seems to be if it has to be brought up on the forums, you can pretty much assume that you shouldn't be doing the tarp. I think the bible also says you shouldn't be tarping with starting/stopping simon says, in fact I'm 80% sure it's in there. So, no, no you shouldn't be doing that order. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
