Youtube guess who

Post #1

Cmass made the following suggestion:
Cmass wrote:I am especially fascinated by this topic because I am always curious as to how well I am reading between the lines. I often look around at restaurants and wonder if I am looking at one of my DCR "colleagues". Is Cathar a tenor or a bass? I am guessing bass. How about Easyrider? Probably a tenor. I already know what 5 people in here actually look like - and I was fairly close on all but one. But it is fascinating how someone's writing on a very specific topic can color my perception of what they are like in the rest of their life.

We used to hold very large Xmas parties every year at our house (over 50 people) and it was always a VERY diverse group of people. We often played a game in which a person had a sticker with a word on their back and had to ask others allowable questions in order to figure out what the word was. I have often wondered if there might be a way to do something similar with DCR. Perhaps we could have a travel fund that would enable everyone over a certain number of posts to come here for a party....but nobody would know who each other was. During the course of the party religion could not be discussed. Instead, people would try to guess each other's screen names by their party personalities - and write that choice on their name badge. What would you do if you chose Easyrider as Cathar!?

A suggestion?

Since such a party is doubtful, perhaps there would be an online way to set this up? Perhaps people could submit Youtube videos and Otseng could post the links anonymously under a "guess who I am" section. People could then vote for who they think was in the video.

I think it's possible. I've created a DebatingChristianity user on Youtube. What we can probably do is this:
- Upload a video of yourself to Youtube.
- PM me with the link to the video.
- I'll download the video and upload it to the DebatingChristianity account.
- People can post in the comments of the video of who they think it is.

Do you think this would work?

Sounds like a bit of fun.

Objection Your Honor, objection, objection.

The aforementioned plan discriminates against at least two classes of citizen members of this forum.

Those of us who are [strike]ugly[/strike] / [strike]unpretty[/strike] / appearance challenged.

Those of us who use dial-up connection

Come on ZZ, everyone knows you are a brute!

OK, you can post a video of something else with you narrating it. A video with narration, without narration or of you on camera - just as long as it has something unique to you. For example, I have some very unique, short clips that were taken using a digital camera but have no sound. The quality is also poor since it was just a still camera with a minute of video capability. They are very interesting and odd clips but quite unique to me...

I suppose you could post a video taken from your perspective talking to your dog.

I think the only requirements are that the video should:

- NOT be about religion in any way.
- Be short
- Be at least mildly entertaining
- NOT reveal your screen name or your real name.
- NOT be insulting to any other DCR member.
- Be made by you or have you in it.

I also think it might be fun - and more sustainable - if the subject or narrator did not give up who they are right away but instead let people vote on it for a while - WITH comments from people as to why they think it is the person they think it is!

Thoughts?

i will try to do this. My computer skills are lacking in this area but I will try. But I can't use my dog in my video. That would make me just a tad obvious.
It is a first class human tragedy that people of the earth who claim to believe in the message of Jesus, whom they describe as the Prince of Peace, show little of that belief in actual practice.

I am some where between an attractive troll and a good looking ogre.
I look in the mirror once a day while the steam is still on it to comb my hair.

Some of us know what some of us look like.

Everywhere, even between my toes.
I notice there is more grey when I am forced to look at a picture with me in it.
But it would be fun guessing those I don't know.
I think sock puppets and some funny vioce would be even more fun. Each does a puppet show with no more then three socks.

Cathar, you actually had me post a picture of you at one point to a DCR thread, remember? You were holding your grandchild. It was a wonderful picture and as I recall (I purged all those files so it is now gone) you looked like Santa! But a still shot is very different from a video and if some people know what you look like then try a narrated view of something you like to do or the landscape around you or you kids. Then we would have to guess via other things in your life.
It really can be a fun thing to try.
