[Thestatusquo]

Shea Datisi Ausuka and Morning Tweet will win team mafia in 2025.

In honor of the politics bet I once made with Haschel Cedricson and lost:

The Republican nominee for the 2024 election will

not

be Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis.

I can't think of anything so I'll be the foil here and say that the Republican nominee for the 2024 election WILL be Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis.

At least one of us will be correct here

idk I think I'm on team asteroid here.

: Walrus Awareness Day

Canada

Spoiler: sleepy walrus

In case you were unaware, a Walrus game is all about matching up songs to a requested category. To celebrate, I'll start by posting a prompt. The next poster ideally should attempt to respond with a song fitting my prompt and then post their own prompt. Also, if you want to post a walrus image, we won't stop you.

Requesting a song that evokes nostalgia.

[Thestatusquo]

Request a song that makes you feel like you can do anything.

[mallowgeno]

Requesting a good song for when I'm tying my shoes

[Pink Ball]

First thing that came to my head:

Spoiler: Real answer

Spoiler: CORRECT answer

I want to hear a song that you didn’t like but then grew on you

: Bracket Breaker Day

Kenya

In the "What Were You Thinking" series of Mish Mash games, the concept is a lot like Family Feud in that you want to try to repeatedly give popular answers. Whoever gives the least popular answers in a round gets knocked down in the standings. Questions would usually be something like "Name five nice smells" and then people who say stuff like Grass and Napalm don't score as well as people who say Flowers. However, the real upsets usually happened when there was a multiple choice question with only 2 possible answers. That's because it would tend to guarantee more people falling in the standings from a single round.

I wanted to do a little callback to one of these controversial questions today. Let's see what's most popular in 2023 - Harevocado or Rocktopus?

Spoiler: Harevocado

Spoiler: Rocktopus

[xofelf]

It's gotta be Rocktopus for me.

[Cheery Dog]

Still rocktopus.

[mallowgeno]

Harevacado

[Pink Ball]

Harevocado

[racefan12]

Still rocktopus.

[DeasVail]

Harevocado!

(different from the answer I gave in WWYT)

[StrangerCoug]

Harevocado still.

[Searl]

Still rocktopus.

[Cephrir]

i'm a harevocado lifer

[Farren]

Rocktopus.

: Everyone Please Yield Challenge (EPYC) Day

Gibraltar

Whether you call it by Telephone Pictionary or a bizarre EPYC acronym, this series is one of Mish Mash's most famous and popular. We've also had a couple of spinoff games of Dixit and Mysterium to help celebrate the great artwork that has come from these.

Here are my guidelines for today's celebration:
1. To start a chain with a sentence, create a new thread in Frogstar World. In the OP, within a spoiler tag, put your starting sentence.
2. Link the thread back into the main IMMM 2023 topic.
3. If you want to be the next link in someone's chain, first post "claim." Then, look at the most recently posted spoiler tag. If there's a sentence in their spoiler, then you would draw it. If there's a drawing in their spoiler, you would summarize it as a sentence. We still want all our posts to be in spoiler tags to allow people to self-moderate.
4. ???
5. We see collectively how much we can get done in one day.

: Endless Possibilities Day

Sierra Leone

International Mish Mash Month is winding down, but the games go on. Thanks for being part of IMMM, part of the site, and/or among the people who still use forums.

It's possible that there may be an International Mish Mash Month in the future. Are there certain days you'd recommend be kept on the calendar? Are there possibly some games mentioned that we'd like to see modded here before next year? Are there other events we'd like to see, such as something more along the lines of the Clash of the Mash?

It's nice to see StrangerCoug has already taken some initiative with reviving Spoil a Wish. On the LSG side, we have recent news that we have a mod team rebuilding their team and moving toward the next milestone.

[mallowgeno]

Despite the lack of responses I really enjoyed the EPYC day! Maybe if we moved it closer to the beginning those chains could continue to be made longer through the course of the month?

But honestly really appreciated you doing this Ariel, I'm sure it took a lot of time and effort.
