I rather like how in this game you can play quite carelessly and still increase the fun for others :) erm, or at least not decrease it. Right? ;)

And here is the totaled shorter list with plurals/"ing"/case combined. I've left airplane/aeroplane and plane(s) separate for now.

And the score tallies:

Click here to view the secret text


noma is in first place with 132 points!
NiroZ is in last place with 32 points!

And now, a short delay for rulemaking and/or determining the next phrase and time limit.

If no rules are made to state otherwise, the procedure shall go as follows (All waiting periods are in hours, and put entities in order from last place to first place. Oh, and I don't think you can copy and paste this. Especially since it uses nondeterministic custom characters.):

Set var _MyScriptF = 10000
Label "Loop"
Wait 1
Generate Entity NiroZ
Set var _MyScriptF + 1
Go to "Loop"

Okay, I'll bite. Is it a bird? A plane? A programmer's joke zooming over my head?

Just a complicated way of saying one new person can take the opportunity to claim the word each hour, from last place to first place.

So much to pick from...
I'm still a bit unsure about something. Is it good to get more points? In other words, should we try to name words that are common and that other people will think of easily?

Yes, it is good to get points. Points let you change the rules.

I hereby declare that from this point forward the player responsible for administrating each round, including the choice of word and deadline, and the responsibility of record keeping (unless someone else fulfills that responsibility) shall be the player who scored the most points in the last round.

EDIT: Gah, post collision. This post is in response to Sillyman.

What do we do in the case of a tie? Because, as luck would have it, we're in one right now. :P


Let's mix things up. This rule is inspired by a burning hatred of Strawberry Clock.

New Rule: Starting this round, none of your ten guesses may start with the letter B. Guessing any such word will make you receive negative points. Regular scoring rules apply; if multiple people guess the same b- word, the word will be worth that many points negative.
If you have already posted a guess in the active game that violates this rule, you are of course allowed to edit your post to remove it, provided you do so before the end of the round.

And thus, my current score is now a clean 50.


Heh, now we won't be able to think of anything but b- words! Ah, that Murphy's Law...


By the way, shouldn't new rules be edited into the first post as they develop for easy reference, in case people miss seeing a rule or two, or if people come in after a while and don't feel like reading through to find all the rules?
