Subject: 100 Nouns (4) - COMPLETE
Posted by: trident
Date: May 27 18
For the next two rounds, we have two guest hosts! For 100 Nouns (4), our guest host is FatherSteve, who has so graciously provided us with these offerings. Best of luck to everyone!
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!

Tarragon and Yaws if no one else has taken them? Reply #71. Jun 03 18, 12:07 AM |

I will also try shallot and scleroderma. As this is my first time playing -- Did you say we were allowed 4 word pairs? So that would mean that if I really, really wanted to, I could come back two more times? Or is it only 4 nouns total (two from each list)? It's a bit confusing in the description. Reply #72.

Celvet, you are allowed up to four pairs, a total of eight questions; if the round gets opened with a few words left, you will then be able to take more. Remember that both questions from each pair must be submitted before you can claim the next pari. Reply #73. Jun 03 18, 4:14 PM |

Looney_tunes is correct. You can have eight total words. Welcome to the game, celvet! Reply #74. Jun 03 18, 7:17 PM |

Oh I missed that, glad for the clarification on pair number. Quiff and Dorothea Lange, if you will. Reply #75. Jun 03 18, 7:40 PM |

They only have to be submitted? I thought they had to be accepted. Reply #76. Jun 03 18, 8:53 PM |

And thanks for the clarification on the word pair numbers. Reply #77. Jun 03 18, 8:54 PM |

My first two are accepted and waiting to be played. That's why I applied for two more. I've already submitted those as well. . . Reply #78. Jun 03 18, 9:23 PM |

Yes, the questions just need to be submitted, but if it gets sent back for corrections, you need to follow through and fix it up. Reply #80. Jun 03 18, 11:17 PM |
