(I forget from whence I lifted this idea.)
Very simple: Print out a few of these cards. Then get rid of them.

this game works best at conventions, concerts, club meetings, college campuses,
or anywhere people are gathered.
The fun thing about it is that the card will go through cliques very quickly - and then the players will have to find someone else who hasn't been fooled yet.
If you want, have people write their names on the back of the card when they get it, so you can keep a log of where it went.
You might also include "Please return to <your name here> at the end of the day".

I DEMAND A BIG, GAY COWBOY CARD.
THE OBJECT IS TO KEEP THE CARD, AND PUNCH ANYONE WHO GIVES YOU A PIRATE OR NINJA CARD.
Umm, hello, Vikings?

Thread over.
I remember some version of this at a con I went to.
Except there, they used a creepy 400 lb guy in a cat suit instead of cards.
Cram, how did you get so good at making up really fun stuff?
OH MY GOD, THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER.
What program did you make these in? I will have to translate these into German, but absolutely have to do this game, SOON.
Also, is there any reason not to add "pirate/ninja quotes" that are memebombs? This game has the right qualities to give a good memebomb a piggyback ride.

This needs to happen.
It doesn't even need to be themed memes, IMO.
I agree. Just put a memebomb in quotes, attribute it to Captain Somethingorother, and slap it on there. For extra effect, use a small set of related memebombs for your set of cards.

a site I found on the Generator Blog (http://generatorblog.blogspot.com), very cool blog for that sort of stuff.

Not enough people. And I think the NEG's patience is wearing thin with my recent psychopathic antics. People don't even respond to my posts on that board anymore unless it's sparkly and funny and actually involves Star Wars. Apparently my political rantings, emo bitching, and general silliness isn't cool.

As soon as I have boots, belt, and rank bar, I'll be along to be your partner in shenanigans! At least at events. I'm not sure exactly how many boards I can keep up with.
Here's a PDF of larger versions of the cards, (with the original Magic-Card style) with the Ninja included.

Seriously! I miss the days on that board where a few of us would just go off the rocker. Instead, now I'm labeled as an alcoholic menace of a detachment leader who should just be ignored.
Ofuk that reminds me, I have GWL work to do, like, immediately.

Honorable Cram is honorable.
"Gay" on internets is not the same as "gay" in real life.
We have a bunch of 8-year-olds with keyboards to thank for homophobic language being accepted as "just the way you talk on the internet."

ah crap, and i was going to surprise you by writing a generator for these kinds of images, srsly :) good thing i didn't get further yet than a few boxes in HTML :)
also, i had a friend staying over yesterday and as he was packing his stuff to leave, i quickly drew a pirate on a piece of cardboard and wrote the text next to it and slipped it into his carrier-bag.
today, on instant messaging, the following discussion took place:
(2008-10-09 18:15:07) Bo: Ben je een piraat?
(2008-10-09 18:15:19) Triplezero: ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
(2008-10-09 18:15:31) Bo: shit zo win ik nooit :)
lol
i gots that
fuck, I really have to make the german ones and start distributing them. I had better get a german involved so they don't read like some five-year-old wrote them.

I finally passed off my pirate pass-off note, to someone who promptly passed it off to his mom. :lulz:
Wow, i hadn't noticed this before. Awesome game, Cram!
So I'm finally about to run a few of these off. Having a pirate-themed party here tonight, a friend will be here soon and help me with the German. It's going to be ridiculous. :D
oh, bump, or something.
I'm gonna do the quoted memebomb thing using some of the top memebombs from the SDO MB Tool.
pdf link broken.....
Noooooo!
I forgot about the ninja pass-off. I LOLed.
Party was a bit of a dud but I made some cards, to be uploaded at a later date. Here's the text on one of them (only the "quote" and "source" are different on the other ones):
QuoteDu spielst jetzt PiratenRUMmy! Dein Ziel ist es, diese Karte loszuwerden.
Das geht so:
1. Frage jemanden, ob sie/er ein Pirat ist.
2. Wenn er/sie nicht mit "ARRR" antwortet, gib ihr/ihm die Karte weiter.
"Eine Schlußfolgerung ist einfach der Punkt, wo du aufgehört hast, zu denken!" -Letzte Worte der fürchterlichen Piratin Roberta
Yes, that's right, we called it Pirate RUMmy.

I ran some of these off last fall/winter, for an event at my school. Eventually, after getting passed around a lot the cards all got trashed as they landed in the hands of people who have too much of a stick up their ass to play along with a simple game. I need to try again with a group that will be more fun.
I just found this... :mittens: to you, Cram!
So here are some prettified business-card sized cards, in English and German.
If anyone needs A4-sized PDFs, I'll get them up later :)

We've found it works well to stick the German on one side, and the English on the other. YMMV depending on location, of course.
:mittens:
Where are you located?
I've been told by a native speaker that "Pass den Pirat" doesn't sound so good in German, btw. :X
I think this link will work:
http://s282.photobucket.com/albums/kk243/stverb/?action=tags¤t=piratepassoff
Have initiated Pirate Pass Off here. So far, so good. Everyone thinks it's amazing.
Spreading like pirate ninja wildfire.
Can't wait to throw in the cowboy card.
:bump:
We has a Student/Faculty mixer @ school today. 2 sets of Pirate cards(& 2 Ninja cards) were seeded into the crowd. Seemed to be a hit! When my co-conspirator and I started seeding the Ninja cards, we got a lot of, "But I'm already.... wait, what? OHGODDAMNIT!"
:evil:
moo ha ha! That is the intended effect :evil:
I brought some Pirate Pass-Off cards to the Primus concert in Vancouver last night.
It was a huge success! I wasn't sure how the cards would be perceived, but everyone seemed to love it. I can't deny feeling a little surge of triumph as I was standing in the beer line, and seeing cards being passed around, and people trying to pass cards back to me later.
The funniest part was when people had already seen a card, but forgot the "answer" to "are you a pirate?" There were a lot of people where the answer was, "YES, I AM!....or - wait.... no... ARRRRRRR!!" Then I'd give them a ninja card. :lulz:
One regret is that I didn't stick a link or something on them which would direct people here. There were a lot of comments like, "this is awesome!" "Where did you find out about this game?" "Where can I find more stuff like this?" I passed out a lot of cards, so at least anyone who was "stuck" with one at the end of the night can Google it and will inevitably be led here. I also didn't see any crumpled up cards on the floor, which I actually kind of expected to see.
This game is a really excellent way to encourage interaction and communication between strangers. I have a hard time approaching people, but this game allowed me to chat with a ton of people who I would have never spoken to otherwise. And, it was just super fun.
Going to another concert in a few weeks. :mrgreen:
I swear to Eris this is how I will introduce myself at college.
We'll see what kind of friends I make that way. :lol: :lol: :lol:

DONT FORGET TO PUT A URL ON IT
SUGGESTIONS:
HTTP://PRINCIPIADISCORDIA.COM (duh)
HTTP://BIT.LY/5bip23 (random page on blackironprison.com wiki)
HTTP://CRAMUL.US (he thought up the game, there's awesome stuff there, plus it'll lead back to here some way or other)
*cough cough*
http://cramul.us/2010/06/pirate-pass-off/
edit:
I'll update that to add the ninja card later today
:lol: @ "the game practically plays itself!"
also, am I missing something or is there no URL printed on the pirate cards on that page either?
I'll be passing these out again next Thursday at a much larger venue.
I'll add a URL this time, but I was also thinking I could hide some "buried treasure" within the card. Last week I printed off the card on 4"x3" paper and taped it at the edges with double-sided tape to a slightly larger piece of heavy (and shiny!) card stock. This leaves a space between the two pages, about the size of a business card. I was thinking of leaving stuff in there; quotes, meme bombs, other random things. You'd have to destroy the card to get to the treasure, but it wouldn't be obvious that something was in there unless someone really examined the card.
What do you think? Too much messing with an already-good thing?
I like that Idea.
