Round 3 of 100 Nouns has arrived!
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.
Happy single questioning!

I have mentioned earlier how 100 Words has really inspired me to write many single questions. Looks like my quiz restriction has a good side has well. There was a time I was binge-writing questions in Sci/Tech. Now, I am enjoying writing for the World category. Really a very versatile category. Languages+Companies+World Sites+Governments...One Category! Wow. Reply #101. May 14 18, 11:38 AM |

"Zipper" question was submitted to General and "flamenco guitar" question was submitted to Music. Can I now take "lumber" and “A Boy Named Sue”? Reply #106. May 18 18, 12:34 PM |

You can take four pairs of words as of now. When only two-three pairs are left, Trident opens up the round for everybody. So you can definitely claim the words! Reply #107. May 18 18, 12:56 PM |

If they are still available I'll take "cyst" and "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage" Reply #108. May 19 18, 9:10 PM |

Congrats on that! :) Reply #110. May 20 18, 1:13 AM |

Awww, thanks :) Executive Author was one of the most exciting and rewarding badges to get. Required I think to create a good question using "cyst", lol Reply #111. May 20 18, 9:31 AM |

Cyst is submitted. Reply #112. May 20 18, 10:37 AM |

Cyst in Sci Tech and Childe Harold's Pilgrimage in Literature. Cool game. :) Reply #113. May 20 18, 11:19 AM |

Cyst was one thing but nickel-cadmium battery and oligodynamic effect will take a single question Jedi. I look forward to the master stepping up Reply #114. May 20 18, 11:22 AM |

Easy peasy! The "oligodynamic effect" is how your belt-line expands when you slather lots of margarine on baked goods. Reply #115. May 20 18, 9:05 PM |

Alright! Then that word must be calling your name, FatherSteve Reply #116. May 21 18, 8:51 AM |

My only problem with that title is that I want to write an entire quiz - it's really interesting, when I started doing a bit of research. Reply #117. May 21 18, 1:09 PM |

I am kinda waiting Trident hasn't opened up the round for everybody. Only four pairs left. Trident did that for Round 2 when only three pairs are left, if my memory is correct. Reply #119. May 21 18, 2:31 PM |

"Lumber" was submitted to Sports and "A Boy Named Sue" to Music. Reply #120. May 21 18, 2:46 PM |
