#Please send me those arguments so I can adopt the most annoying positions as sincere worldviews and cause my cousin to explode from rage

It's NOT a salad

For this game you'll need:

A pen.

Some scrap paper.

A timer.

The strongest will and opinions.

A small container.

You begin with an odd number of players. Choose which player is The Judge and write various silly arguments such as "is coleslaw a salad", "are there more doors or wheels", or "king of the hill is American anime" into a container. The Judge pulls an argument and decides teams to argue each side.

Each team sets a timer lasting 10 minutes. The timer is paused unless the team is talking, once the timer runs out the team cannot argue or give rebuttal to anything the opposition says.

The Judge can decide to add a stipulation or flip the script. A stipulation would be something such as "coleslaw is only a salad with burgers", and flipping the script would be forcing each team to argue the other side instead for the remaining time.

The judge decides who wins after both timers have run out. A player from the winning team is selected as the next judge.

The prize of winning is that each player must abide by the argument that has won. Coleslaw is now a salad for all time.

200 words exactly

Note from me: I am uploading this on behalf of my cousin who doesn't use tumblr. I sent them my entry to proofread, and they made this in an hour, which rules. They have consented to it being included in the archive. Below is a message from them. My central idea of this game came from sitting awake at 2am, being given the idea of this game jam and finding myself remembering arguing with the one posting this to tumblr about various silly and stupid arguments for hours at a time, some even still being brought up today. These arguments have gotten out of hand and I feel it's my duty to get wide public opinion and outrage at people who argue with as much stubbornness as them.

I don't have tumblr but you should message my cousin (the one posting) every dumb argument you have so they can lord them over me like the malicious little gremlin they are.

Have fun, never give up arguing.
