What is Smurfing?

[Negative_Null They/Them]

Smurf is a game about verbs. I replace a verb with a smurf and now will only refer to that word as "smurf"

For instance, if the smurf is running, I would say "I am smurfing to the store", "I am smurfing in a race", or "I am smurfing out of time".

These can be very general (like running or reading or something) or very specific (I've heard building a bird's nest, climbing Mt. Everest, and doing the Macarena)

Everyone else is trying to figure out what the smurf is by asking questions. You can ask categorical questions ("where would I do this smurf?" "What movie could I see this smurf in?"), or ask me to describe smurfing in some way. ("Tell me a story where you smurf at a movie theater")

I'll start.

I have a smurf

Is the smurf taller than 6 feet?

Um, no. It's a verb you're trying to figure out, so that can't really be "tall"

[Truthless of Shinovar he/him]

D’oh! Sorry, I was thinking 20 questions....

Ok, how many times would you smurf at a dance? (Also how is it a verb it there’s the article “a” in front of it? Am I just bad at grammar?)

[Negative_Null They/Them]

(Well, that's just for ease of talking about it. But I consider you can say things like "a run" or "a dance", so it could make some amount of sense to say a (my verb))

I would never smurf at a dance but I bet some people here on the Shard would.

...is it reading? 

[Negative_Null They/Them]

*sigh* Yes

Hentient, what did I say about using your psychic powers!  

[Ghanderflaffle she/her]

I mean, that was my guess too. 

[Negative_Null They/Them]

I was doing an easier one so people could figure out the game but I didn't think it was that easy  

Who wants to go now?

[Ghanderflaffle she/her]

It's easiest if it's just whoever guessed correctly.

I like to smurf.

[Ghanderflaffle she/her]

Would you do this at a meal?

[Negative_Null They/Them]

Would someone smurf in a movie?

[AonEne he/him]

Do most of the people on this site probably like to smurf?

In a movie? Yes. At a movie? No.

Edit: Ene, thats a tricky one, but id say yes. Most people on the shard like to Smurf new places.

Explore?

Would you smurf at a library?

[Hen she/her]

Yeah its explore. I guess I kinda gave it away.

@Truthless of Shinovar, it's your turn

[Truthless of Shinovar he/him]

Alright!

I’m going to go smurf for a while. It may be a bit.

Sleeping?

Also do you need to do it on a regular basis to survive?

I have a feeling I might end up hating this thread. Okay.

Reading? Dancing? Jumping?
