Taboo is a forum game. Players are given the name of another player and a
word or phrase. If they can induce the other player to use that term in
their post then the other player will be banned for a short period of time
and the surviving player will be given a new target and phrase. Some details:
-
Entering the game means you will be marked by another play and possibly banned.
-
Phrases are case insensitive and the contents of quotes are not considered part of a post for this game.
-
Depending on the number and distribution of players you may be marked by zero or more other players. You will not be told how many phrases are taboo to you.
-
Depending on the number and distribution of players you may not always have a mark. You will be notified when one is assigned to you.
-
You must meet some criteria to play to prevent abuse.
