Not to get all Wikipedia-sperg, but a lot of these entries are based on conjecture (e.g. "Having your breasts inflate feels good") rather than an objective falseness. There's a difference between saying "I can't imagine that inflating breasts feels good" and "I know for a fact having your boobs fill with sugar is painful."

Also a lot of the entries are based on fictional premises, like stories that are made up to begin with or anything written for Malatora.

Then again, I don't know what Lemon needs these statements for, so maybe it's all good. Whatevs, Picard. I just had the impression that he was looking only for "hard" wrong statements that are demonstrably false like "The Latino people have never had a revolution" and "Light is the most basic corrosive we know of."

I'm pretty confident that having your breasts fill with suger until they are the size of beach balls would not feel very good. The part where they skin tears off and you start bleeding out, for instance, would likely be quite painful.

All I care about is that you understand my point.

We don't know exactly what Lemon is planning on doing with this information, so it seems appropriate to interpret his instructions as broadly as possible for comedic purposes. Besides, he said he liked what we had so far.

I am so hoping this is some kind of Apples to Apples / Cards Against Humanity clone with Fplus 'facts' as answer cards.

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.

And what a racket it is! You'll make zeroes of dollars!

Icons are probably gonna be the first order of business here.

I have some pixel art experience, mostly in RPG sprite sheets and icons. Let me know if that's relevant?

As with Cards Against Humanity and big black dicks, pretty much anything from AboveTopSecret will be a trump when it's played.
