Cellaropoly? Candyassland? Chutes and Liars? Clueless? IOTDictionary? Trivial Pursuit (no need to modify that one, we'll just steal it)?

I can print out pictures from the Member's Image Gallery and tack 'em to a board out at the range ... is that what you meant?

It's a great idea, but to properly play it you would need a massive gallery of silent onlookers to serve as the lurkers.

We would need to come up with a clever mounting for the game board, which would have to be in the form of a mobius strip. (After all, there could never actually be any goal or objective which would allow the game to end.)

But I'm sure we could do it. Everybody out to Toad's house this weekend to play the inaugural rounds! (It would have to be played at Toad's house, wouldn't it?)

Definite potential there. Can you set up a web cam?

we could pair off, go out into the mountains, set up sniper nests facing each other at unmarked yardages over 1500m, and try to shoot batteries off each other's shoulders with .50 cal sniper rifles.

It doesn't have the public-service angle of 404's idea, though.

i'm not so sure about that. there may be a few cases where knocking off a cellarite would be a public service.

There will have to be some kind of lottery system, I think.

No, you got it right. That involves stoning instead of firearms, though. Too 20th Century.
