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!

List updated; sorry for the wait. Real life was all 'you have to do real life work for the night', so I couldn't pull myself away for long enough to check in. :p Reply #62. Apr 05 18, 4:44 AM |

Everything is updated. We're at the point where bolding is useful, so that's happened too. Reply #73. Apr 06 18, 7:11 PM |

100 Words 2 was cursed for me. Both of my first questions were rejected. Resubmitted them. Submitted the other two as well. 'Wave' in Sci/Tech 'Battle of Mukden' in History 'Long-eared jerboa' in Animals 'Factory' in General I just hope I don't get any more rejections. Reply #76. Apr 07 18, 7:36 AM |

Let me claim my third pair. 'Painter' and 'Hubble Telescope'. I am surprised 'painter' was not claimed yet. It is a versatile word. Reply #77. Apr 07 18, 7:38 AM |

Plum (Hobbies) and Marlene Dietrich (Music) have just been submitted. Once again, I'd like to thank Trident for this great initiative. I had run out of inspiration for single questions, and for months was unable to submit more than a couple. Having a word or name as a starting point has proved incredibly effective as far as I am concerned, and I hope there will be more rounds of 100 Nouns in the future. Reply #80. Apr 08 18, 2:19 PM |
