https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/3ed0d936-d69e-4cb1-bc99-685e9fce46bd The OhioISEC Forum run by Deral Heiland (@Percent_X) in July of 2013, Marin Bos (@Purehate_) and I created a new game for speakers to play while presenting at conferences. "Uhm Gunner" is designed to hold speakers to the highest standard... and to do so by means of direct reinforcement. Something of a carrot and stick approach, the rules for Uhm Gunner are simple... speakers agree to give their talk while avoiding saying "uhm" at all costs, the audience is given foam dart firing toy guns, if, during their presentation, a speaker says "uhm", the audience is then allowed to fire one volley of darts at him or her, at the end of the talk, darts are recollected (with help from the speaker, another reason to strive for a perfect score) and the final score is recorded. naturally, low scores are best., at the end of the conference, the speaker(s) with the lowest "uhm" score wins a predetermined prize. traditionally, a bottle of fine alcohol., Bonus Points - continue one's avoiding of "uhm" even while answering the audience during the Q&A session. 😉 Wed, 15 Apr 2026 11:24:36 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://stream.echo6.co https://stream.echo6.co/client/assets/images/icons/icon-512x512.png https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/3ed0d936-d69e-4cb1-bc99-685e9fce46bd All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://stream.echo6.co/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
