Stumble Roulette

A simple and entertaining game you can play with stumbleupon. As easy as Click, Click, BANG!

The following is a preliminary set of rules, for what I like to call "Stumble Roulette".

Stumbleupon Button
Web Browser (Firefox or Internet Explorer)

How To Play:

Pick any number of topics you want in your preferences, but make certain to enable XXX content (adult content). This is the digital equivalent of loading the chambers of the gun.

Anytime you click the stumbleupon button, wait to see if you get the following content:

1. Internet Meme (Rickroll, "Motivational Poster", LOLCat, etc)
2. Random Photo Site
3. SEO Blog/Website
4. List of [insert topic] (Photoshop brushes, tutorials, freeware, etc)
5. Digg (or an article snippet leading to another real article)
6. Something Which Is Mentally Scarring (read: most of 4chan)
7. Porn (from mild to extreme)
8. A search engine result or Wikipedia type article
9. Random image on it's own (also classified as an online comic)
10. Something which can be classified as Illegal (Torrents, Downloads, Etc)

Now that we've defined the  "bullets", everything else can be defined as empty chambers. The idea is simple:

When you press the Stumble Button, whatever site that comes up can be defined by these rules. If it counts as a Bullet, then you rate it up or down with only the following as a comment: "BANG!". You must write the comment if it is a bullet.

If it is not a Bullet, then feel free to rate it and write whatever you want as the comment.

There you go, very simple.

Why is this game so fun?

The very nature of Stumbleupon makes this game perfect, and highly entertaining. Stumbleupon is geared toward figuring out your browsing habits and then sending you more of what you like, so every time you rate something with a thumbs up, stumbleupon notes that and tries to bring you more of the same theme. This, in turn, make it more fun for the following reasons:

1. Whether it's bad or not, people will inevitably thumbs up something from the bullet chamber. This in turn increases the likelihood that more bullets will be loaded into the chamber.

2. The real fun comes with people intentionally loading the chamber with bullets. ie: intentionally searching for porn or bullet content and rating it in order to get it circulating in the stumble directory.

3. More fun can be had if you take a shot/drink every time you get a bullet.


There you have it, the first set of rules for the internet game Stumble Roulette. Feel free to amend these rules or better define them, as is the nature of the Internet itself that things evolve over time.
