Let's see! They are all different and to me not one is more different than the other.

D; They are all different, you picked the wrong two threads to prove your point. Bad move on your part Jaft.
The first one is a game about describing the person above you, having nothing to do with the second witch is a word game. The third is a contest, witch has nothing to do with them either.
The most different would be the rhyme game because it dose not include visuals
This is why I call my self the Master Debater

So Sav. said the third one is a contest? biggrin He described the first two as games? biggrin Lol, but anyway, the point I was trying to make, there is a lack or no competition in the first two, those are just for fun, for amusement, for laughs. The third one has a prize, an end date, and a type of setting that will have competition. What this proves? I've no idea, I'm just trying to point out differences between game and contest.

wakusei Omnileech games involve trying. Ever read "the greatest game" Now that's trying! Chess is a game and it requires more skill to be good at it than most other games. A contest of the minds if you will. Skill is a crappy determinant of what is and is not a game.
Again, I don't see thread games as being the same thing as normal games, such as chess.
If our Game Subforum called for games like real chess to be involved, things would be different, but since thread games are far, far simplier...then it's not the same.
A game such as "Pick a number between 1 and over nine thousand!" Winner gets a Gwee. Would still be a game even if requires no skill at all.

Touche, your trap was quite good and the bait perfect. To bad I'm a master debater (I hope you get the pun)
Yes, a Contest is a type of game.
Also I point out again the Third dose not have a prize unless th post has been edited.
You can point the differences out till you are blue in the face, they are still closer related than the "contest" and a real debate like this thread. Witch one is closer related the Contest and the game or the contest and the debate.

It depends if the winner of the debate gets a prize, which makes it a competition, which makes it a game? Lol. I edited that egg thread. And yes I get the pun. ^_^ It's one of my favourites.

Do you have a rebuttals to my other points or is the Master debater pun too much to handle!
I mean I found my hole in your argument. Contest and debates are not closely related at all but a contest and a game on the other hand!

See, I'd call that a contest. At least on Gaia. It's not a trailing thread game/word game so it's different.
Well, really, it'd be spam since it makes no sense, but if ignoring that, then....

If by game, it's thread game. Then contest and debate are more similiar because both result in a winner (or tie). A thread game has no winners.

Saverio C. has brought up an interesting perspective with contest being a type of a game. Interesting. I think this alone should separate from all the normal games because of the many differences usually made obvious, prizes, competition, etc. And plus, if the two really, really were the same, we wouldn't have created the two different words. Just like how we have different ways of describing purple (magenta, fuschia), they are the same colour, but different shades. I'm guessing we could argue definitions til the end of time eh?

Not true aretoo, this debate/argument affects all threads that can be called contests, all threads that exist or will exist.

A debate dose not have a winner unless a person concede. Like a person can concede to have run out of ideas in a games and thus lose.
We can argue definitions for the end of time, but the fact stands that a contest has no place next to a debate. They attract different people and require different skills

aretoo All this tempest in a teapot, over three contests that will be over in less than a week, engineered for the guild to all have fun together. gonk Contests/games that are all held in the wrong place under the farcical impression that contests and games are any different. They have about the same difference as H20 and water.

I still think the type of game a contest would be is different from the type of game that subforum was created for. But I guess I'm just messed up in the head... sweatdrop
I suppose too many definitions still hold subjective meanings.
