Quick, somebody make a pun!
All kidding aside, I'd like to propose what I feel is a reasonable solution to an age old problem. The problem being, figuring out who exactly the subbiest and Domliest people around are.
There's a lot of talk about the differences between D/s, M/s, TPE, 24/7 and whatever other acronyms you kids are coming up with these days. Let's put the rhetoric aside for a bit and find out, objectively, who REALLY has or has given up the most control.
The solution, a game of horse.
For those of you unfamiliar with the concept of horse, it is a game where participants take turns performing tricks that the others must be able to repeat. Each time you are unable to pull off a trick, you add one letter to the spelling of the word H-O-R-S-E. When you have completely spelled horse (that is, failed 5 tricks), you lose.
Obviously, all challenges will have to be verifiable, so if you're uncomfortable providing evidence, this game isn't going to work for you. Since there are subs and doms of both genders on this board, challenges should be kept gender neutral.
Being "not into" a particular challenge is not an excuse. This isn't a test of kink, this is a test of submission. Hopefully your particular kink allows you to tolerate something that others may find difficult to repeat. Don't be surprised if others have the same advantage.
What's it going to be people?
Are all of you who spend countless hours convincing the rest of us that your relationship is one of ultimate submission going to suddenly have nothing to prove?
