A social experiment. "Sheep and Shepherd."

11 answers , last was 15 years ago

Thought this would be kind of cool and fun.
The chief aim of this game/experiment is to find out how much we know about each other "online". Would I be able to decipher who this person (whom I already know) is, just by sending messages or having a normal platonic conversation "online". - obviously without knowing his/her name before hand.

Rules : Everyone is a sheep and everyone is a Shepherd. (which I would assign randomly before hand). For example. Randomly assigned = Scott's sheep is "Jim". (Obviously Scott is Jim's shepherd). Jim doesn't know that Scott is his shepherd. Likewise, Jim also has a sheep (which would be once again randomly assigned), making him a shepherd of that person.

If Scott wants to post something to his sheep (Jim), he would sent his message to me via my facebook inbox, and I would post it up, keeping his identity a secret. And it would be addressed to Jim. If Jim wants to reply his shepherd, he can just post it on the same page as per normal, addressing it to "JIM'S SHEPHERD".

It's basically a game whereby whoever can confidently find out his/her shepherd the fastest, WINS. (Sorry guys, no cash prize) This would help us know each other better, in terms of writing styles, views on certain issues, recognizing each other "online".

Just need a show of hands who would be interested ! Once again, it's just a fun experiment.
