Description

Have you ever been in a role-playing situation where you wanted to apply the perfect insult, a spectacular dig, and it just wouldn't come? Heck, how about a real-life situation? Was it much later that you realized what you could have said to bring tears to your opponent's eyes and promote a universe of ill-will? You had it in you but just could not bring it to bare. This game gives you just what you need: practice.

**Feh!** is a game where you can improve your insults, slanderous or not. If you wish, you can be provided with a character that will help you improve your cussing as well. The simple characters will each have _issues_ with many of the other characters at the cocktail party. _Issues_ such as feelings of competition, mild dislike, and extreme hatred. So your character will have the opportunity to attack verbally with impunity... But what good is motive and opportunity without means? Your character will also have the dirt on the rest of the attendees they will meet at the party.

In persona, you will be expected to engage in conversations and deliver (and take) insults. In fact, that is _all_ the game is. There will be no puzzles to solve or chances to save the universe.

Warning: this is a high-conflict game, and an experiment. It is \*not\* suitable for children. The length of the game will depend on the players and number thereof. I expect a game of twenty players to take about an hour and a half.

In preparation for the game, I suggest you rehearse. I decline from suggesting you practice.
