If you've never seen the show,

is a hilarious game show where four judges try to determine which of three contestants is telling the truth about their fantastical talent/life experience/career/etc. This contestant is sworn

Meanwhile, two contestants are lying their faces off trying to convince the judges that indeed, it was
they
who guest starred in the finale episode of MacGyver, or won the national hot dog eating competition last year, or is the only living member of that one-hit-wonder band from the 60s.

Online, this sort of thing becomes much easier to fake, so this version of the game will
not allow research of any kind by either contestants or judges.
So if a judge asks a lying contestant how many miles per hour you drive that supersonic jet for the military, you don't have to be accurate, but you
do
have to be convincing (and hope the judge doesn't happen to already be an expert on jets).

You can /in as a contestant, a judge, or both. Anyone interested in being a contestant is assumed to be equally willing to lie or

If you /in as contestant, please PM me at least 1-3 fascinating things about your life (it doesn't need to get super personal, but it does need to be interesting and true!). I will choose the honest and lying contestants for each round, which will last probably 4-ish days, depending on how the first round goes.

I like the newer iteration of this game show and its super-casual approach to judging. For our purposes, anyone can /in to judge at any time, even the middle of the round, and anyone can ask any contestant a question at any time, as long as you don't hog the thread or turn things into some intense interrogation. At the end of the round, all current judges will have 24 hrs to PM me who they think is the liar (you can PM me earlier if you want, and you can change your mind before deadline if you want). Correct judges get a point, and all three contestants get a point if a majority of judges do not guess correctly. I will keep track of points but they will never mean anything other than points. :D :P

You can ask questions to as many contestants as you like, just don't ask multiple questions of one player (maybe you can do two if they're related) at a time, so the contestants don't have to write a paper every time they come to post

Oh, and boilerplate question for all three players for every round:

@Contestants, could you please elaborate?

Another mod question, because why not:
@contestants:
Did you get in trouble?

A reminder to judges and potential judges: (expired on 2018-08-04 17:00:00) remaining.

Are the contestants interested in having the option of asking each other a question or two, just to have more to answer? Or is that too complicated/weird?

Also,
Removing the limit on number of questions per judge/contestant for now, just don't abuse this

It was xRECKONERx all along! All three contestants gain a point for tricking the judge(s? :P) while Invisibility gets nada.

Great! If we've got another player, I'll keep this going! Maybe I'll also /in as a contestant (I can never judge, since I know who sent what, but I can participate on the other side sometimes).

I'll start Round 2 when Inferno sends me these

what were you performing?
It was a skit/advertisement thing? I don't know exactly what to call it. I was one of a few students working for the admissions department at my smallish college, and I went onstage at a music festival to tell people to consider attending our school in a fun/funny way. We shot t-shirts from a cannon and everything

I felt very tired and a little gross, but my nerves and adrenaline also had me slightly wired. Overall it was a little disorienting but thankfully we had a very simple script laid out in advance, so that helped me stay stable onstage
