Here are the five types of people you’re most likely to meet on ShufflePeople (and actually want to talk to).
- The nerdy, but totally awesome, kid who wears tacky sweaters. This kid will be able to name every starwars character, immitate every character on the Simpons and give you step by step instructions on how to make a stink bomb. Every one should have a friend like this in their back pocket just in case you need to find out what
- The scared/nervous/bitchy college girl. Trying to get this girl to loosen up and say something can be a challenging game that you can play all night long. Things likely to work are putting on a mask, making a funny face, telling a (clean) joke or asking her random, goofy questions. 2 points if you get her to smile, 5 if you get her to actually talk!
- The class clown. This kid is likely to make fun of you the second he sees you but don’t be offended, it’s nothing personal, he does it to everyone. Grow a pair and give him a taste of his own medicine. If you’re witty and clever perhaps you can be the one to leave him at a loss for words. Throw on your screen capture software and post the interaction to YouTube so the world can see how clever you are.
- the guy/girl hiding behind some kind of mask or prop. Be careful, there’s a good chance your reaction is being recorded for a YouTube montage of ShufflePeople reactions.
- the old guy who looks confused. This guy is great. He has no idea how he found the site and now that he’s here he can’t seem to talk to anyone long enough to figure out how to use it. He’s never going to get it. When he was our age he was drinking soda pop from a diner trying to WOO the class prom queen into driving out to lookout point to make out in his car. This 30 second webcam thing is so foreign to his generation he probably feels like he’s making contact with aliens.
