Entry: How to Play 'Red Letter' - A1136486
Author: Caper Plip - working on a Edited Guide Entry - honest - U180841
Hi all!
It's been a long time since I last put an Entry into here, but thankfully exams have finished and I finally managed to get off my lazy backside to write another!
Any comments?

A1136486 - How to Play 'Red Letter'
J Posted Aug 7, 2003
Looks good to me One nitpick-
In the variations section, you say "barring middle-names from the game" but you never made it clear that it's their full name. I thought it was just your first name until I read that, so the sentence "If the letter called out was 'e', and the person had 4 'e's in their name" made me wonder what kind of name has four 'e's in it
Like I say though, a well written entry, though I know nothing about the subject

My only comment is you need to make it clear that the letter picker tells everyone else what the red letter is- although it becomes obvious further down that they must do, they is a possiblity of temporary confusion...

Hi there!
Changes made:
- added 'full name' to clarify
- made it clear about the announcement of the red letter
Thanks!
Any more comments?

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've therefore moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.
If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.
Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!
