Complaint Department discussion

In this game, you will have to provide three statements about yourself. Two of them must be true and another one a lie. The next person will have to guess which is the lie. The first person to guess correctly gets to give his/her three statements.

With this game, if you post two truths and a lie, it is important to check back often so you can tell us whether a response from players is correct or not.

example:

1. I live in a pink house.
2. I set out the trash on thursdays.
3. I went to high school in Hawaii.

first guess: #3
I reply: no
second guess: 1
I reply: yes

The one who guessed #1 was the lie is the next person to list two truths and a lie about themselves.

Okay, I'll go first:

1. I live in a pink house.
2. I set out the trash on thursdays.
3. I went to high school in Hawaii.

I don't believe Preston lives in a pink house. My erstwhile Californian boss Ben Dominitz lived in a pink house, which is why to his staff he was secretly known as Mr. Pink House.

Roger is correct. My house is white with black shutters just like Roger has seen in photos I've sent him. Roger and Oli don't live in a pink house either. I'm pretty certain pink houses are against the law in their little medieval hamlet.

Roger it's your turn since you "guessed" the lie.

1. I live in a "New Town"
2. I set out the trash on Tuesdays
3. I live next to a river

I guess #1 because Roger and Oliver live in Ludlow and it is not on the list of the New Town Act of 1946, being an ancient market town.

Sorry Averin (trick question perhaps) but Ludlow was built from scratch by the Normans when they came a-conquering, so it's known as the Norman New Town.

3. is the lie. I did once live right over the River Teme, but not for 19 years now.

What happens next???? :-))

You go again until you're caught in a lie.

Oh… right… er…

1. I write books
2. I spell everything correctly
3. My eyes are hazel brown

Is it number 1?

NO! ;)

Is it number 3?

NO!! Go on, guess…

I give up. Every time I guess you say "no" :-(

By a process of complex deduction, if number 1 and number 3 are not lies, then number… oh damn. Now I've got myself in a muddle…

LOL

Lori is laughing at us! I am so embarrassed now.
I give up.
Maybe adding this game was a mistake.

but but but *pouty face* I wanted to plaaaaay

No problem. There are three choices above in Message 17. Two of the sentences are the truth. One is a lie. Can you figure out the lie? If you can you get two write the next two truths and a lie. This should be easy Kit so put away the pouty face and give us a smile :-)

Remember, Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder…

d'aww Roger, you're going to make me blush

is the lie maybe adding this game was a mistake ?

hi, y'all! i'm just noticing this...i wanna play!

i say #1. lori is laughing, but pres is (definitely) not embarassed.

The two guesses were wrong.

Lori's message16 is LOL and I was embarrassed at the time.
Adding this game is not a mistake,
The lie was "I give up." as you can see I didn't give up since I'm playing.

Nobody guessed correctly so I go again.

1. I have three Apple Macbook laptops.
2. Roger signed my copy of The Complete Chronicle Of The Emperors Of Rome
3. I ate fruit right from trees in a rainforest

I say one is a lie

i wanna say 3. but since you've been to hawaii you've probaly been other places. so i'll go with- actually, i'll stick with #3.

Roger signed my copy of his book The Complete Chronicle Of The Emperors Of Rome was the lie. It's a great book though.

Sorry Absinthe, I do have three Macbooks. One is just an 11" Macbook Air but the others are 17".

Marcie, Marcie, Marcie! If only you had Googled Hawaiian Rain Forests you would have found out it was possible, even likely I had a tropical paradise time in an Hawaiian rain forest where guavas and strawberry guavas could be picked from trees growing in the wild. Guavas are a products of Mexico too and Hawaii and Mexico are at the same latitude just 2,000 miles away from each other so they may grow the same fruit and they do with the guava. And I thought you knew Mexico so well :-)

am I allowed to be jealous of your prodigious computer ownership?

i think its that you got a kitten yesterday

I claim two for Roger!

1. I have a 19th Century clock that tells the time, month, day of the week and date.

2. I was a DJ on a Radio station.

3. The Dean of the Art School cut off the tie I was wearing.

{is it me, or is this game getting weird?}

No 2.

pres, since you already mentioned hawaii i didn't think it would come in play again (i guess that's what i get for assuming ;-) ). besides when i think hawaii i don'think tropical. i think scary valconoes! btw, believe it or not my mom got a guayaba tree to grow here. but guayaba and papaya are my least favorite fruit. so it's not that great of news. guayaba candy tho? hook it up!

as for your next question: #1

Averin wrote: "{is it me, or is this game getting weird?}

No 2."

This game is weird (in a good way).

Also available in Hawaii: mangoes, passion fruit, bananas, papaya, pineapple ... Dole used to have a pineapple factory on Oahu (cool place to visit). The only island with active volcanos is Hawaii and one of those is still under the ocean.

1. I do have a 19th C. Calendar Clock.

2. I was DJ on a National Public Radio station and was also the program manager deciding what programs to air. It was fun.

3. The Dean of the Art School did not cut off my tie. #3 is the Lie.

After 3 victories I am retiring for the moment.

To choose who goes next I'm going to flip a coin. Heads is Averin and Tails is Marcie. <-drum roll-> It came up Tails.

Marcie will be next to write two truths and a lie.

Marcie is a bare-faced liar… go for it :-))

Lol Why thank ya, Roger :-D
Ok. So here's my 3:

1-My grandfather had blue eyes?

2-In the last couple of months most of my weekends have been spent hanging out with a Major League Pitcher.

3-My kids have my black hair and brown eyes.

If you have been hanging out with a Major League pitcher and you didn't tell me then you are no longer my sister. I think the lie is number 3.

Hmmmmmmm… I'm thinking: granddad has blue eyes, Marcie has brown eyes… hmmmmmm…

granddad has blue eyes

and Roger...blue eyes are a recessive gene, so brown eyes, unless both of marcie's parents had a gene for recessive blue, its entirely possible.

1- my granddad did have blue eyes. actually, several of my relatives on my mom side have the whole light color hair & eyes. i'm the black sheep of the family :)

2- the milwaukee brewers didn't make it far this season. so matt garza has been back in town and our sons play on the same baseball travel team. [i'll put his image behind spoilers so it doesn't take up space]
(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]

3- my son & i are the only ones w/the dark hair & brown eyes. my daughter has very light brown hair and her eyes? beats me :) they're kind of brown, but not really. they change depending on light/clothes.

so, preston is right. 3 is a lie.

Thanks for giving me an easy one Sis. :-)

1. I have a transgendered friend who is a performer.
2. My dog and I don't like grated parmesan cheese on our pizza.
3. I have a friend who was under FBI protection.

i just can't lie as good as you, bro :-)

i say 2, just cus i don't like parmesan either.

You are correct. I don't like parmesan but my dog does so that was the lie.

Comgradulatums!

oH SNAP! for reals?! ok. here goes.

1- have been playing softball since high school and currently still playing.

2- i eat my tamales american style :) [with ketchup]

3- i put pop rocks (candy) in my dogs mouth.

3 is true only if you were three years old at the time.
2. Good grief your grandmother would beat you with a stick
1. You are very athletic. Stay away from performance enhancing guys!

I truly hope for your sake and for the pride of Mexico 2 is a lie

I don't know any guettos who put catsup on tamales.

See Averin and I agree with your grandmother who would beat you with a stick if she saw catsup on your tamale.

So what are we saying here? That Marcie's Number 2 is an outrageous lie, or merely a sad case of terrible taste?

I also say that Marcie's number two is a lie
