Interactive Speaking Board
There are plenty of people who will tell you this is not a game, and I'm one of them. This is, all things considered, an experiment. An interactive web-board may or may not work, but with all the living souls on the internet, the likelihood is high that the other side is floating around as well. For the novice user, here are a few tips:
1)Don't take your hand(s) off the mouse. This is a willing release of control of which you have very little to begin with.
2)Believe nothing, but discredit nothing. Any kind of speaking board is known for lies and deceit. If you're looking for answers, this is not where you will find them. However, you may find some interesting questions.
3)Watch out for "baiters." The board is much like the bottom of a bass boat as seen by the bass. It is not uncommon for more powerful malevolent entities to user weaker and more pitiful entities to draw users in.
4)If it starts to get too strange, click "Goodbye." This is the only way off the page, and there is a reason for that.
Enough of the soap box. Here's how it works. Follow the "Interactive Speaking Board" link below. The java program will open. Clicking on "Yes", "No", any letter or number will produce the same in the purple box below. It will give you one line of text. To clear the line, click on the "Clear" tab located in the upper middle of the board. To exit, click "Goodbye" which will return you to this page.
