Why do you have an emphwsis on the sad, SMoB? Is it all the medness or is something wrong in your personal life as well?


Dancer

No R? Rats!
I'm sad because of the whole business in the US.

How about N?

Down:
R (SMoB)
N (SMoB)

Of course, you can make up any rule you want, were the first to play this here, so we can modify the rules as we go along.
And if somone else comes and joins it's great, but don't slow down or wait for them.

I think whoever guesses the word at the end, should be the next one to ask


Dancer

Good plan!
Hm, how about T?

(How many wrong guesses before the man hangs?)

Down:
R (SMoB)
N (SMoB)
D (SMoB)
T (SMoB)

I just made up another rule: You can ask a voul, but it means 2 wrong guesses instead of one if it is not there .

Do you think it is a fair one? do you it?


Dancer

Ooh, sounds good to me! I'd better put the rules up on the Challenge page though because if anyone else joins, they'll get lost in backlog.

L?

Down:
R (SMoB)
N (SMoB)
D (SMoB)
T (SMoB)
I (SMoB)
L (SMoB)

M __ d i __ i n A l

Suggestion for rules (till now, as I see them):

1. Word Must be in english unless mentioned otherwise.
2. Write (Actually copy-paste) the whole thing over again every post, so there'll be no need to read the backlog in order to join.
3. 8 Tries and only painfull neck streaching death if the ninth guess is wrong.
4. Vouls count as 2 wrong guesses.
5. If you get it right you should write the next word or at least give the right for that to someone on the thread if you don't want to/don't have the time.


Dancer

Ooh ooh ooh!
(I feel like I'm watching wheel of fortune and yelling to the contestant what the word is)

C?

What about proper nouns? And what happens if you lose?

Down:
R (SMoB)
N (SMoB)
D (SMoB)
T (SMoB)
I (SMoB)
L (SMoB)

I'm from Israel, I don't know what a proper noun is, and I think if you loose, the same as winning applies, just that the one who asked the word is congradulated on a well chosen word, and he/she is the one who chooses the next person to do a word (He/she can but usually shouldn't choose him/her self).


Dancer

And E should make it Medicinal!!!

Too busy to seriously play this game but....

Whoops - that might have been a bit previous..... But if I was right the challenge stands
