The house on Hollywood hills (new forum game)...

Okay this game is simple;

It's a trading game, each person starts with a pencil (yes a pencil). And the aim is to keep trading objects for those with higher value until eventually you can get a house on Hollywood hills!

Here's the catch, you are all competing with one another, so remember if they get it first, it's game over for you, so when trading with others try and make the trade up increments as little as possible, so that they don't get too far ahead, but it MUST of of higher value.

Here is an example of how it works:

- Lets say I currently have a mobile phone and Jim has a Notebook computer.
- I just offered someone an object trade, but keep my phone (you can offer anything to someone else, but always keep YOUR original object until someone trades with YOU)
- Now, whoever posts next after me MUST trade with me.
- The next poster is jim.
- Jim can trade anything he 'owns' (which can be anything in the world) for my object
- Jim trades me a Nintendo for my phone... but Jim still has HIS Notebook, which the next poster must trade for any object.
- Now I have a Nintendo, Jim is awaiting to see what he gets for his notebook.
- The next person to trade with him, will then have someone trade with them.
- People should try not to give another poster something too big otherwise they will get ahead of you, but it MUST be of higher value.
- The first person to get a house on Hollywood hills wins!

Make Sense?

Okay I will get the ball rolling!

I have a pencil, what is someone willing to offer me?

(not, the next person to offer me something will be next in line to get something for ther object).

You said we all start with a Pencil, I don't understand how we can trade up if we all have the same object???

Like I said in the rules, you can offer the requester ANYTHING (you don't trade away YOUR item to keep track of what you have)...

i.e. Free Pizza gave me a stick of deodourant... now the next person to post after him has to offer him something (anything for his pencil)... if it was me to post next, and I will do it now; I offer him a Music CD. Now the next person to post has to offer me something slightly better than my stick of deodourant, while freepizza must wait until he offers something to someone else to be next in line to trade his CD for something.

Get it?

So freepizza, you get a music CD.

The more active you are, the quicker you move up.

I'll offer you a triple-a battery, Freep

He just did, and since you posted next, you have to offer fred something for his pencil.

All posters should post what item they are up to themselves when they offer something.

I offer Lithium Rechargeable Battery...

I think I'm getting the hang of this, though I fail to see it's point beside confusion... lol
Okay, maybe I'm not getting the hang of this???


I shall trade you Suave Shampoo for that Deodorant...

{Current Item Is Pencil} I guess this is my item, I offered the Lithium Battery earlier, so would that make my current Item the Triple A battery since that is what Fred offered???

I'll always have my pencil, so how is this working???
