The point of this game is to come up with hilarious albeit mildly insulting jokes to poke fun at one another. Similar to the stuff you would hear Triumph the Insult Dog or Clarence from Wonder Showzen say. The goal is to be as clever and witty as possible without crossing certain lines. There are a few goals however:

-Leave disabilities out of it. Don't make fun of a user for being deaf, blind, mute, crippled, Autistic, dyslexic, etc.

-Please leave anything religious or political out of it as well. Those two topics are popular ones to start debates these days.

-Don't make fun of anyone for their race, sexual orientation, or gender. Remember, reinforcing age old stereotypes isn't funny but rather just rude.

-Profanity is allowed to an extent as long as it isn't used excessively for simplistic shock value as an excuse to avoid creativity (such as "You are a fucking fucker you fucking piece of shit dickhead!"). In other words, don't overly cuss like a 12-year-old who is trying to act "edgy" and "adult" to show off to his friends would. Racial slurs however should be completely avoided and I would recommend leaving sexual terms out of the equation as well. If you aren't careful with how you bring up the sensitive topic that is sex on this thread, you could accidentally post something that could be construed as sexual harassment. So while I'm not saying that you guys are absolutely not allowed to bring up sex, you should probably tread those waters very carefully.

-If you truly mean an insult with all your heart, don't say it! This game is nothing more than comedy, don't say something you actually wholeheartedly believe. For example, if you believe another user is stupid, keep those comments to yourself! This game is NOT an excuse to vent about users you hate. These are meant to be lighthearted jokes not "Reason you suck speeches,".

-Always remember to post actual jokes as opposed to just insults. There has to be some sort of irony in one way or another behind it for it to be truly considered funny.

-Don't bring up anything too devastatingly sad. For example, no matter if you intend it to only be a lighthearted joke please don't bring up how a certain user's mom just died or something like that on the thread. Making fun of tragedies in the user's day to day lives could make some people laugh but for others (myself included) that does nothing but make them feel worse. It takes many people a long time after a tragedy occurs for them to even consider laughing at it, if ever. At least wait until they are done grieving over said circumstance before you even think about bringing up a tragedy in this game.

-Please be original. Don't rip off jokes you heard of Comedy Central roasts (or fictional roasts like the American Dad episode where they roast Roger) and try to pass them off as your own. Creativity is key!

But anyway, enjoy yourselves very much. Have fun.
