I would... If I Were...

I'd be incredibly cute and with my bewitchingly poignant facial
expressions, I would be able to avoid being sold to a creepy
medical researcher who wants to teach me to smoke cigarettes.

If I were more ambitious, I'd...
 
Be trying to have some kind of music career (singing) and also be trying to become a published author.

If I was flying to the moon...
 
I am trying to figure out how to play this game according to the OP's rules:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The rules are as follows;
You type what you would do in response to the last post...
Then you type a scenario for the next poster...

EG;
---
First post:
I would have a sandwich
If I was a doorman.

Next post:
I would open the door for pretty ladies only!
If I was a spaceman

Next post:
I would search for intelligent life
If I was walking my dog in the park?

So to begin...
I would post this
If I was born in Japan...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you asked my preference on solving arguments [Post #143]

So, if that were written in the OP's format, that would be...

I don't know. o_O
What would that be?

I am not trying to be obnoxious. :(
I see that I have not been doing this according to the original rules.
I was ready to make an answer, but it wouldn't fit the original format.

What? My if was "of you asked my preference on solving arguments" (I've been playing my own mini game the whole time where I try to relate my response to the next sentence choice. (Bonobo monkeys, test moon monkeys and all... But bonobo monkeys don't fight so I posted my if as that.)) Anyway back to the game:

If you asked me my preference on solving arguments
 
This game is really hard for me to follow.
I can't tell if it's too complex or if there is less to it
than I think.

I can put an answer to....
"If you asked me my preference on solving arguments"
easy enough.

If you asked me my preference on solving arguments,
I would say modus ponens.

But this seems backwards to me.
The examples OP had show the "would" then the "was."

I don't get it. :confused:

You have the first part right, the "I would".

But now you need to add an unrelated "if I was" to start the next person off. :)

The point is it's backwards, makes it more challenging. Just think of it as a mad lib:

I would ___________________
If I was ___________________

Your I would is supposed to finish the thought above, that's why it feels backwards.
 
The difficulty I have is with the OP's directions.
If I had written the directions, there would be a space in between
the FIRST "I would"/'If I was' example.
That would show that the "I would" was in response to a (an imaginary)
previous post.

Also, the "If I was" would be written in subjunctive.

First post:
I would have a sandwich

If I were a doorman.

Next post would be a response that finishes the thought of "If I were a doorman"
I would open the door for pretty ladies only!

If I were a spaceman....etc.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I write game directions I try to make them failure-free.
It takes a couple weeks, generally. I have an idea, I work on it, I let it sit
and cool, so that I can look at it later to evaluate it without being caught
up in enthusiasm regarding how much fun it seems like it would be.

Otherwise, I could be putting up something that I think is playable, but
really has possibilities for misunderstanding. If there is going to be any
'challenge' in a game, I don't want it to be in grasping how to play it.

Sounds like you understand it more though
 
Understanding what people say and making sure that people
understand what I am saying----I have studied on that for
some time now.

I have seen, at times, this game go off course, and have been
trying to figure out what the cause of that was.

I see what the problem, for me, was.

Game directions...a guideline for me is along the lines of
haiku, imagist poetry, or sculpture. There should be nothing
extra and nothing confusing. There is no need to add or
subtract anything to enhance usability.

OK...

In response to...
If you asked me my preference on solving arguments,

I would say modus ponens.

If I were a carnivorous butterfly...
 
I would write cabbie poetry and sign opera on the way to Albuquerque.


If I was (were) a 'high steel' worker,
 
I would have 17 bottles of fabulous nail polish; 2 wigs each
of blonde, platinum blonde, ash blonde, black, neon pink,
cerulean, scarlett, cotton candy blue, sea foam green, and
auburn; a stunning set of sequined Army fatigues, and a
dedicated platoon of followers who never miss my act.

If I were a programmer well versed in C++...
 
I'd make a note of the location of the rainbow's end so I could collect the pot of gold.


If I were President of the USA I would...
 
I'd need a lot of time in makeup to come anywhere
near to looking like Uhuru.

If I were really picky...
