Subject: 100 Nouns (2) - COMPLETE
Posted by: trident
Date: Apr 02 18
Welcome back everyone to a new round of 100 Nouns! Thank you so much to everyone who participated in the first round. Here's a reminder on how the game works:
I will give two lists, each with 50 items. The first list will contain generic nouns that might be pretty easy to work into a question in many different ways. These would be words like clock, strawberry, or heart. The second list has much more specific words that are likely going to have to be directly about that topic (unless you can find an inventive way to make them about something else). This list would include things like Mount Kilimanjaro, Ulysses S. Grant, and barometric pressure. Some of the entries on this second list will be something you might need to research a little!
Authors must choose a word from each list, one generic and one specific, and write one question about each. Once you claim a word from a list, it is no longer available for other players to claim it. All nouns eventually have to be claimed before the series can end. Once you have written your two questions and submitted them to the queue, you are free to choose two more. It might be good manners not to keep choosing too many in a row too quickly, allowing others a chance at the list. Submitting and claiming words will mostly be on the honor system. You must submit the two questions to the queue before claiming any more. I will occasionally be checking the queue to make sure authors are actually submitting questions with their chosen nouns. Happy single questioning!
After some discussion with my fellow editors, we have established some more thorough rules to make the game run smoother. Please read them below:
1. Players may not have any remaining word pairs outstanding from the previous round if they want to claim any words this round. Word pairs from the previous round should be submitted to the queue before claiming any here.
2. In order to give everyone a fair shake at the word pairs, we are only allowing individual players to claim four word pairs per round. If many words have been sitting around unclaimed for a while (think 3-4 weeks), then we will open the round back up to everyone.
3. There will be no switching of words or word pairs of any kind. If you have decided to claim a word pair, please stick with it and submit it to the queue. If you absolutely cannot complete your word pair, it will be put back onto the word list and you may not complete any more word pairs for that round.
Best of luck to everyone!

Kyle, when you come online, do rectify this. In the list of words, 'Umar Ismail' has become 'Umar Ismai"..probably when you stroke off ''The Veteran in a New Field'' Reply #150. Apr 22 18, 10:50 AM |

'Hint: a caudal fin is a five-dollar bill given to you by a fish.' That's nearly as good a hint as the goat's cheese one, Steve! Reply #153. Apr 22 18, 11:56 AM |

I can't understand...???? Reply #154. Apr 22 18, 2:42 PM |

I have decided to end this challenge one and for all... I am claiming 'caudal fin' and 'excuse'. 'Caudal fin' will be submitted in Animals, I am not sure yet where to submit 'excuse'. Probably History. Reply #155. Apr 23 18, 8:21 PM |

Challenge complete. Thanks again everyone! I will post the next round in the next few days. We will try to keep a challenge on board so there is nearly always some pairs available for the daily challenge or for when the writing big strikes. Reply #156. Apr 23 18, 11:29 PM |
