Explain the Game
After everyone
has"logged in,"everyone needs to press the
"start game"
Once the game starts, the computer will give you the beginning of a phrase. It is up to you to complete the phrase. After you have done so, click the submit button. A couple of hints: Do Notstart your phrase with a capital letter. Also try to use the same amount of time typingfor every phrase, even if you have to backspace a lot. This is so your fellow players can not tell if you are entering a long or a short phrase. Finally, pay attention to spelling errors. The text you enter will go through a spell checker, and it is possble that the correct answer will have misspelled words, but if your answer contains the word teh instead of the chances are you won't receive many votes.
After everyone has completed the phrase, all of the phrases, including the correct one, will be sent out to all of the players. Thus if there are four players, they will each receive five phrases, in a random order. (Not accounting for duplicates.) Now it is time to vote. Each player votes for oneand only one phrase. After everyone has voted, the computer computes the score and sends it out to everyone. It also sends the next question. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Explain Logging In
It is quite possible that more than one player will
select the same user name. We have displayed everything
we know about the users that match your name above.
If none of them is you, click on the
"None of the above" button and we will create
another player with this user name.
Explain Scoring
Here is how scoring works:
- If the phrase you sent in matches the correct phrase, you get two points
- If you voted for the correct phrase, you get one point
- If someone else voted for your phrase, you get one point
- If you voted for your own phrase, you get zero points
Explain Errors
Sometimes people accidentally close their browser window while playing.
This causes them to lose their connection to the game. If this happens,
do not panic. Tell your fellow players to wait for you, and go ahead
and log in again with the exact same user name.
You can pick up where you left off.
Intro
This is a brief introduction to the game I call So They Say It is quite fun to play, and this program should run on any
device that has a web browser. (IPhone, Android, Laptop, etc.)
It is similar to Balderdash if you have every played that.
It involves completing a phrase that you have probably never
heard before. For each partial phrase you are shown, you should
complete the phrase and send your completion back to the server.
After all the completions are received, they are randomized and
sent back out to the players along with the "correct" completion.
You score points by either voting for the "correct" completion
or having other people vote for what you wrote
down as your "completion."
p mempty
You will need to contact the other people you want
to play with on your own, (Email, telephone, messaging
app) and tell them to go to the URL you see above.
Once everyone is there, one of you can press the
Start Gamebutton and proceed to play. The reason I ask you
to log in is so that I can keep track of which phrases you
have already seen. That way, you will never see a phrase
you have seen before, at least not for the next twenty
thousand phrases. More detailed help is available by clicking on the
