Most forums have a forum games section, they are fun, and we don't have one but should have one.
Might make these forums slightly more popular, and we need more than 0-2 people on at a time, because then if someone asks a question, it takes 2 months to get it answered.

We are not like most forums.

I somehow doubt such a thing would fit in here.

He means the sort of fluff nonsense that fills most forums with what is essentially spam, like a "word association game" where people literally just make one word posts for hundreds of pages or a "5 word story" where it's an ongoing story thread, but members take turns adding 5 words at a time, making it up as it goes along, with no real direction or purpose.

They amount to spam in my opinion.

this is exactly what the layering game is mean for cheesy
but it has a natural ending ... when it is done wink
i liked the layering images very much, i really think those should be come to a new thriving wink
especially with the copy&paste from mandelbulb3d, though it is not able to layer the rendering yet, as soon as a layering is implemented in those programs, the layering game can be started again wink but the bulbs and many hybrids are available in ultrafractal, so there is no real limitation yet... i once started the layering contest, wait i search for it ....

here it is, the TAG game:

I wound up "playing with myself" in the tag game.  It just sort of died.

Maybe an M3D game where a new formula or transform is add to the formulas tab for each turn.  It would be limited to 6 turns due to the 6 formula max for hybrids in Mandelbulb 3D, but the idea of not changing the previous parameters  (and camera angle?) could make for a different sort of game. 

The 7th person would just start a new file.

I don't know how Mandelbulber compares for hybridizing - I never got far with that program   cry 

But if the parameter sharing format has been straightened out, there's no reason not to include it, and any other software that seems like it could be used.

Ok, I'll change it. On second thoughts, maybe forums games is not such a good idea because most forums games are spam.

I think I might have expired my UF trial. Too busy anyway. Oh fudge! My hands are sticky with some fudge. And I'm using my keyboard.
