A Frikkin Hashtag: #IWasGoingToPlayThisGameBut

What stopped you from playing the game you’re playing by telling us what stopped you from playing it? That’s right, two weeks ago AFH decided to go full meta and we brought @math_tagger with us for the ride…

[The Story So Far: Every Wednesday at 12 noon South African time [6am EDT] an inspired and growing number of brilliant, creative and absolutely fun people from all around the world take part in what is called a Hashtag game. @AFrikkinHashtag [say it out loud] is South Africa’s #1 Hashtag game and is always a lot of fun. The F.L.O.P. [or Fish List Of Prizeworthyness] is the collection of some of the best tweets from each week’s game and is what all seriously comedic Hashtaggers aspire to…]

Knowing you crazy bunch i thought this was a tag we could have a lot of fun with, and you proved me right:

We know it was a real game cos look who came to play:

As per usual i got some balls rolling:

#IWasGoingToplayThisGameBut Chocolate forced an intervention…

#IWasGoingToplayThisGameBut the cat got my tongue. No literally. The actual cat. My actual tongue. #UnwantedPiercing

#IWasGoingToplayThisGameBut BABY SQUIRREL!!!! #AndItFitsInsideMyHand

And finally a three parter:

#IWasGoingToplayThisGameBut I was being PUNished…

It was a busy day on the Twitterer but we still managed to be trendiful:

Twas great to have the folks at FMyLife join us for a tweet:

THE CO-HOST PRINCIPLE

Math Man has been a great addition to our co-hostage squad and now Unnamed Ones and he didn’t fail to impress in this game with some of his tweets being:

THE FISH LIST OF PRIZEWORTHYNESS

But we all know what you came in here to see – DID I MAKE IT? – every week we grab as many of the Top Tweets as we can and compile a list of F.L.O.P.worthy tweets and here are some we really enjoyed from this game:

Geff got musical on us:

While Richard had priorities:

With Ryan it got a little complicated:

Our favourite Bunni was busy being spikeful:

Ross was not taking any chances:

Geff also had some personal issues:

K Dawg was typically complaining about having to read:

While Shota was not adequately prepared:

Eric had a change of heart:

Grendel was feeling a little shaky:

Bunni was back with a whole lot of p:

Mark’s phone was giving him troub:

Rebel had some species constraints:

Rob as well:

While Craig’s issues were a little more personnel:

John had to focus on his duties [hee hee i said dooties]:

Tord-Rune had his games a little mixed up:

Jayme’s schedule was pretty solid:

Mara Jade had a suitable excuse:

Tim needed the black gold:

Heart had dilemmas of his own:

Robbie had that thing:

Ross seemed to have lost face:

Googergieger has standards:

Luis Saw a missed opportunity:

Mick saw through us:

Chiara was bracing herself:

Mick was feeling a little excluded:

Rob had his own distractions:

Big Jeff tried to paper over the cracks:

Puppits took one for the team:

While Sophie didn’t seem particularly focused:

This week’s Top Tweet chose itself, but before we get there, we felt these two honourable mentios were completely deserved #AlwaysProofreadTheGameStartingTweet

Jack was too busy shaming the host:

Martin also got in on that act:

THIS WEEK’S TOP F.L.O.P.

Marrenby had longer term goals in mind:

Thanks everyone as always for playing and for the most part KEEPING IT FAMILY – as always we try to focus on FUNNY and CLEVER and MISDIRECTIONAL and RANDOM [but related] and you do that so well every game… making it so much fun for me and the co-host and the rest of the AFH UnNamed Ones and hopefully for you as well.

If you didn’t make it on to this week’s F.L.O.P. please don’t drown in your tears – last week’s game was so wild there will probably be a two parter of Top Tweets and of course tomorrow is Wednesday which means that at 12 noon South African time and 6am EDT we will be doing it all again. This one is going to be a party.

See you there and of course on the @HashtagRoundup app where all the best games are played…

love brett “fish” and No_bob
