The Random Game was a game in the Hecklers Online section of AOL, almost five to six years ago. It boasted a "no rules" format and gave away hours to those that were (apparently randomly) deemed winners. After AOL switched to the monthly fee, the prizes changed to tokens. However, in the Random Game, a community had begun to grow and take shape. I was part of it.
Unfortunately, HO sold itself out to Playboy, and the RG was eventually shoved to one side and to inevitable death. However, because so many of the bonds we had made with the people there were so strong, we struggled to reunite and recreate the Random Game with varying success.
This is something of a small homage to the Random Game, which was such a big part of my life for over four years.
Here are some things on the Random Game I gathered from the now defunct RG section on AOL.
