Well put! I agree with you completely.

IMHO, I think the poster feels liek she's being judged because all she asked for was the file and some came in and shared their opinion about it, when her host had expressed that she really wanted a show that was different.

I don't think its a big deal. I always feel when I ask a question, I will be able to make an educated decision because of the input from those on this site, we're all from different walks of life.
 
Wow! I must say thank you for this game!!! After reading the controversy, I had to see it, and after I did I was so glad!It certainly isn't one I would do at most of my shows. I have a great time at them, but most just don't go there. One of my last shows, though was a singles show. Now I didn't do anything to start it, it was just the crowd, but everything that came out of my mouth or any one else's got turned into innuendo. I tried not to be embarrassed, and after a while, I just went with it, and started saying, "OK, so what does that make you think of?" At least it kept them focused on the presentation and not off talking to one another.They had a great time with each other and the party, and all but one of the guests (even one of the two single men!) booked parties of their own. I was so shocked because I was afraid that they might think I was too straight-laced or something.Anyway, after reading this, I am going to show it to the first of the hosts for the first party booked off that one, and I have a feeling it will be a big hit. Definitely one to get an ok on first, but with the right crowd, I can see this being a lot of fun so thanks again!

I think so too!
 
This looks like a great game! I do not do games at my show, but I have a show coming up that I am fairly certain this would be a hit at. It may even be too tame as there are really only one or two racy cards!

This game may have just changed my opinion of games at a PC show!
 
I just saved it on my computer and I am going to leave it there until the right host comes along...
