Forum Video PIG or HORSE contest?

[TaShawn]

I'm wondering if it would be possible to play a game of pig using youtube and pf.com. Need to think of what the rules would have to be.

That's pretty interesting...

[TaShawn]

Here are my preliminary thoughts:

Whoever's turn it is submits a video of their shot (at least with identifying characteristic (like a Roscoe36 jersey or something).

The opponent will have a certain period of time to duplicate the shot on video, like 2 days or something. If not submitted by the end of the timeframe, then it is assumed that they couldn't make the shot and they get a P.

The shots will probably need to be very difficult since the opponent will get as many tries as they want.

I guess I wouldn't put any limit on the type of shot.

After two successful makes by the defender, the turn switches to them (to avoid an endless process of answering easy shots).

It may even make sense to give a longer period of time to answer a shot and say that only have 1 letter in the game instead of PIG or HORSE.

Any other ideas?

One other idea is a consecutive free throws contest. That might be better because we can have multiple contestents. I bet someone here could hit 30 straight.

I guess I didn't think this through. It will really be tough to keep someone from not being able to duplicate a shot with dozens of opportunities.

I think that will make it almost impossible to do with any integrity.

Maybe we don't need integrity. I was actually thinking about allowing special effects.

Special effects? You mean like what Chris Rock said in one of his comedy specials: "CGI, mother#$%$#, CGI!!!"

Exactly. If somebody here puts special effects to work to make a shot, then they deserve to have it count. I'll respect it.
