Post like the poster above you!

[Vox Imperatoris]

Inspired by the sock thread which mentioned this game, I decided to go ahead and make a version of it on the DoMeBo forums. The "goal" is to post in the style of the poster above you, so that a person not looking at your usernames wouldn't be able to tell your posts apart. Post about any topic, I guess, and if the responses are good enough, maybe someone can turn them into a little game we could host on the main page, with the posts copy/pasted, without the name attached, and several names to choose from, available in multiple-choice format.

I'm terrible at this, so I'll be the first target!

I don't want to impose on anyone, and far be it from me to suggest how you may wish to occupy your time on here, but I've just had a jolly good idea to while away 10 minutes. Don't feel under any pressure, but I expect nothing less than your most serious efforts and best behaviour - and especially no untoward hanky-panky - throughout the duration of your participation in this thread.

Caveat emptor,

You even said "certainly"! Although, I don't think I've ever (or at least very rarely) actually used a Latin phrase like that in a post, except for my signoff and signature. Really funny, though!

(This post doesn't count as above the next one for the purposes of the game.)

The apparently inimitable ivan seems (on initial observation) to have stumped your facsimilising abilities, fellow domebohemians?

(Can he really be that difficult to pin down?)

I have read this post over and over and I wonder what my mum would think of my impersonation of our esteemed student of Latin.

Posting like jali should be easy. Though I don't post as much as her - how could I? Just got to keep it short and full of sentence fragments . This is hard - but fun! "Just going to wander off now!" [ducks away and smiles]

(My apologies, jali)

I am going to make my case in a calm, reasoned and jocular manner, and if I fail to appeal to your better nature, I will leave you to your malevolent devices and bid you "Good day!". Now, what was we discussing, again?
