Need beta testers

Hi all!

I've written a little word game and I need some more beta testers for it. You can see it at

http://jpdeni.comze.com/index.php?page=8

The game is called "The Exquisite Corpse" and it's just a little word play. Each person that comes along is asked to enter a word -- a noun, an adjective, a verb, etc. -- without knowing what the other words are in the sentence. When the sentence is finished, it goes on display with the others. Some are just silly and some can be quite profound. I've just added a facility to rate the sentences, so you can say which ones you like and which are, well, not so much.  ;)

You don't have to register in order to play, but you do have to register and log in if you want to rate the sentences.

I'd really appreciate it if as many people as possible would come by and play. Just adding one word would help a whole lot. I started running out of words, myself.

Also, if you have any problems or suggestions, please don't hesitate. I'll put the code up for anyone else to use, as soon as I'm pretty sure the bugs have been swatted.

Worked fine for me JP. I entered a few words...

Added a few earlier.
This is a great little app JP. :up:

JP, I just added an adjective.  I've had the site up all day and just kept refreshing it to check it once in a while.  I noticed earlier that there was a bracket or something in there but I can't remember if it was a left bracket or a right bracket now.  Could somebody have been trying to put in something they shouldn't have been, like a smiley or something?

I've added a few words, very cool.  :)

Thanks to all of you! There's some great sentences going.  :2funny:

Zetan, I think it was probably a typo. I saw it and edited it. I think it was a ] IIRC.

ZarPrime

That was me, not Zetan, but that's OK.  I know it's hard to tell the difference between the 2 of us. ;D

This thing is making some hilarious sentences.  The adjective I put in earlier was dusty and the sentence it was used in was "The dusty elephants flippantly leapt beside the wimpy lettuce."  That's great.  I put the verb drove in about 15 minutes ago, but I haven't seen it come up yet.  This is a lot of fun. :up:

I'm sorry. I lost track of the Z's. :D

When there are two people on at once, they may both be asked for a verb. Since people take a while to think of words, one will enter before the other one does. If you are submitting a verb and the last sentence in the database already has one, the script will start up a new sentence for the verb, but it won't show up until all of the other words have been filled in.

There's about 10 partial sentences at the moment. I didn't expect that, but it's okay. It's interesting to see the way it all comes out.

I think I just found my favorite one ever, and it's your "drove" sentence:

The dangerous renegade outlaw bravely drove across some healthy hermit crabs.

:2funny:

I'm trying to figure out how the sentences are displayed in the scrolling box on the front.  It seems to show 20 but the ones it shows are sort of random.  some of the new sentences you can see when you click "show all" don't seem to be showing up in the scrolling part.
