first time posting a new game here, hopefully this idea works

A new rule is added noted by the green colour! thank you sam and achromalia :D
Welcome, this is a verbose game!

Basically, take the above post's sentence and unnecessarily expand upon it while keeping the same meaning of the original post.

Example

Person 1: I like pie.
Person 2: I enjoy eating pastries.
Person 3: I, (username), receive contentment from consuming tarts.
...
Person 7: Me, a homo-sapien human that goes by the title (username) on the virtual world commonly known as the "Internet", can experience pleasure while undergoing the action of consuming and digesting various baked dishes of fruit and pastry.

thanks google for that last one


Largest Verboses

1st: Achromalia - 133 characters (7/6/19 19:54:33 UTC-7, post 3)
"This procedural experience of vivacity that I possess is frankly ridden with miserable melancholy and the dreadful, vacuous nothingness contained within."

2nd: Plini - 105 characters (7/8/19 12:06:43 UTC-7, post 11)
"The amount of dopamine secreted by my organism is increased when i eat a burger high in saturated fats, even if it's unhealthy."

3rd: Tad Fibonacci - 93 characters (7/7/19 22:37:43 UTC-7, post 8)
"Your presence at this specific location is right at when we've anticipated you to, my dear female homosapiens."


Honourable Mention

This is the largest verbose before the rules had stabilized. (Probably gonna stay the largest one on the thread for a while too :p)

Achromalia - 586 characters (7/9/19 10:43:15 UTC-7, post 14)
"There appears to be a significantly higher prominence of a particular organic chemical transmitting my feelings of satisfaction as a consequential result of consuming servings of a dish typically comprised of frequently grilled, pan-fried or flame-broiled grease-ridden patties of finely chopped meat including or even infused with a variety of combinations of produce and dairy products, with the addition of common sauces and spice spreads, all layered together, separating a pair of bread slices; even despite the knowledge that such a meal often contains a potentially harmful concentration of saturated fats and risks the possibility of a lessened ability to maintain my own vitality."


Other rules to make this work hopefully:
  1. Follow normal forum rules, of course.
  2. If you cannot add on to the post above you, say you can't and you can start off with a new sentence.
  3. The largest 3 verboses (on characters, excluding spaces) gets a nice little feature on the thread!
  4. When making a new sentence, keep it under 10 words. This is to give room for verbosing.
  5. When adding on to an existing sentence:
    > If the previous sentence is under 20 words, you can add a maximum of 10 words.
    > If the previous sentence is over 20 words, you can add a maximum of 30 words.

    Verboses seem to increase "exponentially", so hopefully this new rule gives some leniency while giving room for as many verboses as possible. You are not in trouble if your post goes beyond these limits, however it and further posts won't be added to the largest verbose leaderboard if it manages to do so.


Let me know if you have any improvements for this game! :D Guess i'll start off.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
You have arrived this destination at the same time as we have planned, my lady

Maybe we should change the rule so that we expand the above user's quote and then make our own quote for the next user to play and so on. Because this verbose game can end pretty abrubtly. Just my opinion though, feel free to reject or expand upon it.

sentence #3

I love to eat greasy burger at fast food even if it's unhealty.

There's a rule that prevents players from adding over 30 words to a sentence. But yeah, I guess each round does end quite quickly. I'll tighten the rule more so theres more leniency.

EDIT: forgot to tighten something else, gonna fix that
(ignore this post, further verboses should now comply with new rules)

The amount of dopamine secreted by my organism is increased when i eat a burger high in saturated fats, even if it's unhealthy.
Tad Fibonacci
The amount of dopamine secreted by my organism is increased when I eat a dish made of a piece of often grilled, pan fried or flame broiled ground beef, often served with tomatoes, onion, cheese, lettuce, pickles and bacon, with condiments such as ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, relish, or "special sauce", and is usually placed between two pieces of sesame seed buns; that is high in saturated fats, even if it's detrimental to my well being.

As much as this is very well done, unfortunately the amount of words added equals 52, well beyond the 15 word range xD.

On the contrary, I have nothing stating what to do in this situation...
You can continue the verbose if you want or start a new sentence.
(also tad you're fine, you can still post here xD)

I'd like to argue that there's actually quite a lot of room to put in more words if you find just the right way to do it, and give it enough time. I actually find the 15-words-added rule to be rather restricting. I was perfectly fine with 30 words.

I'm alright with starting under 10 words, for the most part, though.

Considering that, I may give it more leniency somehow. Maybe the 30-word rule may come back, or at least more allowance to add more words, just as long as very large sentences cannot be formed instantly.

(EDIT: stupid me forgot to add the quote)
(EDIT 2: i forgot to add quotes ahhh)

New rules have been added! Posts after this should now comply with the new rules. Unfortunately, verboses cannot be added onto the leaderboard until a new sentence is made to start fresh.

Ignore this post and you may continue along with the post above.

feelsbad when you just added 29 words and it ultimately doesn't matter :c

Seeing that it is considerably the largest verbose (which is very well done) (and it follows the rules still), maybe i'll add an honourable mention.

(ignore and continue)
