Lie Detection

[Srentiln]

Hi guys, the events of the current mafia round reminded me of something from a movie that I thought might make an interesting game. Here's how it works:

I will list five things about me, four of them will be true, one will be a lie. You will need to guess the lie.

To make it work as a game, the first person to correctly guess the lie then gets to do the same as I did.

So, let's see who is good at reading lies:

1. I am allergic to cold
2. I weave chainmaille
3. My first redstone circuit was a doorbell
4. I can't stand the taste of broccoli
5. Strawberries are my favorite fruit

1.
Like, how can you even be allergic to a set of temperatures?

 

[Srentiln]

incorrect. I have Primary Raynauds: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raynaud's_phenomenon

In medicine, Raynaud's phenomenon /reɪˈnoʊz/ or Raynaud phenomenon is excessively reduced blood flow in response to cold or emotional stress, causing discoloration of the fingers, toes, and occasionally other areas.

...

Raynaud's disease, or "Primary Raynaud's", is diagnosed if the symptoms are idiopathic, that is, if they occur by themselves and not in association with other diseases. Some refer to Primary Raynaud's disease as "being allergic to coldness."

Lucky for me, mine is fairly mild and the discoloration mostly shows up on my arms.

3. I assume you must have done something other than a door bell.

 

[Srentiln]

Incorrect. While I was trying to get through the mazes, I played on another server where you were given a small plot for a house and if your house was liked, you got a bigger plot in the spawn town. I added a doorbell to make my house nicer, and that was my first redstone experiment.

5 strawberries aren't anyone's favorite fruit DUH gosh you guys are bad at this

 

[blie4]

I'm gonna say 4.

 

[corygolfanatic]

Excuse you? I eat a carton of strawberries nearly everyday in the summer. ._.

 

[magicdem0n11]

I would say 4, but no ones mentioned 2?! Isn't weaving chainmaille like, not a usual thing (or am I missing somthing?)
I'll say 2

 

[Zatharel]

isn't this that game called 2 truths and 1 lie only with 4 truths and 1 lie?

Anyway, 2 I guess?

Also, how to become a human lie detector - Play 10 hours of L.A. Noire each day.

And the winner is blie!

My top 5 favorite fruits:
1 strawberry
2 pineapple
3 pomegranate
4 kiwi
5 Granny smith apple (quite specifically that variety

I am currently working on a hauberk, and here is a (somewhat blurry) picture of a chain I made for my flash drive:

broccoli is actually my favorite vegetable

I could have sworn this posted yesterday...must have closed the window too early :/

 

[blie4]

Woo!

Here's mine:
1. I've played the cello for 8 years.
2. I had my Bar Mitzvah the day after Benjymon had his.
3. I first got Minecraft in 1.3, but due to my bad computer, I couldn't play until 1.4.7.
4. I live on the one creepy hill that kids are afraid to Trick-Or-Treat at on Halloween.
5. I got my foot run over by a lawnmower when I was 5 years old.

1.
You probs played a different instrument.

 

[blie4]

Incorrect, when I was 6 years old I attended a music class and was always the last person to choose an instrument during the "Free Instrument Playing Time". Thus, I was always stuck with the cello, which began to grow on me, and I've been taking lessons ever since then.

 

[Spontida10]

5
(The obvious one)

If not its 4.

 

[Srentiln]

Should have stated this in the beginning, but I was hoping it wasn't necessary: Please only choose one option so other people have a chance. Since there are 5 options, each guessing round really only gets 5 guessers which can lead to a lot of people getting left out.

and in response to zath's question: I don't know. I was watching some movie a few years back...I think the general plot was that a member of the CIA was thought to be committing treason and the main character was sent to act as his new partner and discover if it was true or not. The only part I really remember well of the whole movie is when he met the guy, the guy said to him, "Tell me five things about yourself, and make one of them a lie." and he explained it was an exercise in the department meant to help them keep sharp.

 

[blie4]

5 is incorrect, I was playing outside one day, unaware that my Dad was so close to me while mowing the lawn... Long story short, I have a few scars on my right foot. xD

 

[rickyboy320]

I say 3, why would you get a game which you can't play.

 

[blie4]

Incorrect, I thought my computer could handle it, but with my inferior knowledge of computers back then, I found out the hard way that I couldn't play it without extreme lag.

 

[Zatharel]

Obviously 2.
