...And, we're done.
For two years, OneUpMe.com hosted a series of wordplay games that foster abstract and creative thought. Games were in the "call and response" format where many users respond to one topic. Users then vote don the posts they like the most and winners are announced at the next round.
The site has, unfortunately, retired. But the archives are still fun to browse! Have a look around.

Well, it's been officially two years since OneUpMe first got off the ground. In that time, we've seen tremendous creativity from our users. We had a total of over 800 topics in all games posted with the response rate in the tens-of-thousands and the voting rate almost double that!
But alas, it remains difficult to maintain such a site that requires creative topics everyday, let alone every other day, even for the five of us that managed the site. OneUpMe has had a steady decline in participation and creativity within the recent months, so we've decided to stop posting new topics and let the site remain for people to browse the archives for their favorites.
Maybe the site will move to Florida now and live in one of those old age communities. Get a cadillac. Drive slow, sit low. Whatever the case, we thank you for playing the game and encourage you to use OneUpMe phrases in your daily life!
