Try out my newest game, "Agree or Disagree?"
The activity is simple: you can enter your own statements and you can agree or disagree with other people's statements. That's pretty much it! The game is supposed to be simple and fun. Unlike the forums where debate is encouraged, this game takes away all debate and comment on what people say, breaks everything down to single statements, and just has everyone vote agree or vote disagree.
I have written the code for this game myself. I am just releasing it for use now, so please be patient with any glitches, errors or problems you have using it. If you have any trouble, please tell me and please give the game a try again a little later. You can use this topic to report any errors or problems you have with the game. If you have any questions at all or need help, please report it here.
The point of the game is too be very simple, but I will likely add features and fix issues or make improvements as we try the game out. Namely, the game works on a single page now but mostly because it has no statements. Once we get some statements and activity, I will expand the navigation system a little to make it more user-friendly to navigate through all the different statements. I will edit this post with information about changes as I make them.
Tell me what you think!

I just don't want people to start referencing this as some sort of source. It lacks an imbedded commentary section. lacks a way to remove questions from ones personal viewing, that one may not even want to see, or give the dignity of an answer to.

Re: Try out my newest game, "Agree or Disagree?"
I have added some pages that provide different views of all the statements.
Planned features:
- provide a credit line to poster with a link to the poster's profile as well as a link to view all statements by that poster
- a 'link to forum topic' feature to enable the poster of a statement to specify a topic on the forum where readers can
- debate the statement and/or where the poster has given an argument for the statement
- a small navigation box to consistently navigate between the different sorted pages
- a report feature
- a quicker interface for dealing with statements held for moderation and reported statements (that one is on the back-end, but will lead to quicker turnaround for held statements)
- a hide link to hide either unanswered or answered statements
- elaborate the 'your statements' page to give a more detailed look, mirroring the front-page (e.g. "statements you have posted with the most consensus")

Also I think a bar or pie graph would be better than just a percentage and those gray things. Also having a way to see the agree disagree over a period of time through a line graph would be cool.

No, the rules of the game disallow personal attacks. Indeed, that is made clear in the brief rules section on the submit new statement box.
Thanks!

My suggestion would be that once we've voted, we see the results for that question on the following page. Then click a button, and return to the game.
As it stands, the instant gratification loop is kind of broken, as once the button is clicked one has to kind of hunt around for the question again.
Other than that quibble, well done. Simple is good!
