A fun game thats been going for over 1000 posts on another forum I visit.
The Rules:
1 - No posting something that can't be beaten (God is the traditional example of an unbeatable object; however, Parallel Universes is a much better example, since it could be argued that atheism or Buddhism beats God...)
2 - The post must beat the thing above it in a healthy and undeniable way (e.g. lawn mower beats plant) It doesn't even have to be related, as long as it could realistically beat it. (e.g. falling tree beats deer)
3 - If there is, for some reason, something that is hard to beat, either A: Make something that isn't very obvious and explain it [e.g, Hawking radiation beats black hole (by causing the black hole to evaporate)]
or B: look at the post above and take it from there.
4 - A poster can't use the same thing twice themselves (although someone else can use a previously mentionied thing if they weren't the one who mentioned it). This keeps the game from going around in circles and people defaulting to "superman!" or "magic!"
Example of game:
Paper
Paper Shredder
Black out
Generator
Man sticking fork in generator
Sword
etc., etc., etc....
First word:
Rock
Go!
