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!

"I have submitted..."Diet of Worms" in History ('tho it would be cooler to have submitted it in Hobbies under Food and Cooking)." Is there a category on Klingon cuisine? Reply #24. Apr 03 18, 11:05 AM |

Or about those lizard-like creatures posing as human-like creatures in the 1983 American television series "V"? Reply #25. Apr 03 18, 1:49 PM |

Have the authors ever considered that in the not too distant future, there might come a time when the New Question Game becomes the I Know That Question Game!! Because this 100 Words has led to, and will lead to the creation of so many questions....Trivia players! Memorise the answers to future questions already! The nouns are right here! Reply #27.

Simply knowing the nouns won't be a lot of help when answering the questions I've written. I daresay that others have asked questions in a similar manner, using the nouns in the question and not as the answer. Reply #28. Apr 03 18, 2:38 PM |

I have uploaded the "Stymphalian birds" to Humanities and "decade" to Religion. May I please have "shadow" and the "Oaxaca cheese" as my third (of four) sets in this round? Reply #29. Apr 03 18, 3:55 PM |

I don't see there being any issue with players having seen this list of nouns. Like spanishliz said, not everybody wrote the noun as the answer. And for those who did, if you can make thw connection from a random noun from a list here two or three months later in the NQG, then you deserve a nice little bonus point. Reply #30.

Yeah-- I didn't use my words as the answers. There should be no way people can glean the correct response from my submissions. That said, the majority of people likely aren't frequenting this board. My Nouns for this one should be submitted tonight. Reply #31. Apr 03 18, 5:16 PM |

I have uploaded "shadow" in Entertainment and "Oaxaca cheese" in Hobbies. May I please have "sphere" and "Hieronymus Bosch" as my fourth (of four) sets in this round and thereafter be relieved of further responsibility until the third lists are published? We return to the Mainland tomorrow and someone else should get a crack at all of this glory. Reply #32. Apr 03 18, 7:14 PM |

Might we see a photo of Creedy with a moustache playing the guzheng, please. Reply #35. Apr 03 18, 11:34 PM |
