the online opposites game


Here at Zokutou, we love the opposites game, often playing it at our meetings; this is the official online version.

Playing the opposites game is simple. A narrative is constructed by passing a story from person to person, but each person can only see what the last person wrote, and has to write the opposite to it in response. What you define as opposite can be any interpretation of opposite you want. You can write the literal inverse (swapping "he" for "she") or reverse the meaning of the whole phrase- there is no right or wrong, only opposite. However, we reserve the right to remove anything we see as being not opposite. For we are Zokutou. Silly answers: Yes; nonsensical answers: No! [spammers have been nasty: hopefully we can keep them away]

Just fill in what your opposite is into the input box below and submit it to add it to the list. Your submission will then become the current opposite, ready for someone else to respond to

The current opposite is:

loud celebration

Please enter your choice for the opposite to this:
