If you have free text messages send to everyone you know (or at least without causing a problem) a text message saying just their respective name. If they reply send a message saying it's a social experiment saying and say to them if they were the 1st, 2nd, etc (if you like).

The game closes in 24h. After that post here how many people you send and what were their replies/reactions.

My brother came up with this game.

Edit: The game closes 24h post the first message you've sent.

That was a reference to The Game - not the game being proposed here.

carenkh: I just lost the game too.

That would be an interesting social experiment, but to what end? Why do it?

LOL I actually didn't thought about the game when I was typing. You guys made me lost the game too.

Anyway, why would you do it? Well, we could say that the winner would be the one who got more replies. But it just comes down to having a silly reason to send a message to anyone you want and see how the people you know react regarding such a short and ambiguos message.

I sent to 5 friends of mine. One didn't replied yet.

I got two "Yes?", one "Miguel" (i.e. just a message with just my name) and I guess one didn't had money so he just sent a notice.
