We don't know exactly what Lemon is planning on doing with this information[...]

Okay okay, I'll be a little less coy with information, but only just...
So the idea here is a party (card) game, written almost entirely in javascript, where each player is presented with an incorrect statement. You then have to defend the veracity of your own statement, arguing that it is the most least wrong thing being said. After everyone makes their pitch, all players vote on
The Most Wrong Thing which was said that round. Statements deemed to be
Only Sort of Wrong are discarded, statements deemed
Incredibly Wrong are shuffled back in the deck with a bonus indicator attached to them. Both players and statments are awarded points each round, so can earn points for convincing people your statement is correct, and you'll get even more points if that statement was previously determined to be fucking coo-coo.
From the suggestions made in the doc, I've currently added 36 of them to the card database. For these purposes, a declarative statement like "A toilet is becoming a completely foreign object to women." fits much better in the confines of the game than something that would need explanation or definition. If I need to explain what a djinn is, that's gonna make defending my statement harder. Similarly, if there's a confusion of who the subject of a sentence is (is this
me saying this or Naryu?), that's also a problem.
All that said, if you put something in the doc I don't like, I won't use it. Scrolling down isn't particularly difficult for me, I have a little wheel on my mouse that does exactly that! So because of that, and because of the fact that it would be healthy for the game to have different kinds of wrong statements, I'm not really encouraging a lot of self-editing at this stage. But I recognize it would be better for you to know what I'm looking for here.
I'm attaching a screenshot, but just please know that the actual game will look
nothing like this.
