Subject: 100 Nouns (6) - COMPLETE

This round is brought to you by kyleisalive. He suggested a special theme for you all this time around: video games! However, don't feel as though you have to write about video games. There's lots to work with in other categories if we can just get our creative juices flowing. Good luck!
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!

"Mortal" went to Humanities and "James Bond, 007" went to People, although, I do not know where they will end up. Tricky little devils, they move around, lol!!! For my third and last pair I will take "genesis" and "Anna Torv", thank you. Reply #62. Oct 21 18, 5:17 AM |

"Avatar" and "Shambhala" have both been submitted in Religion. Now for a well-deserved break, waiting for the next edition of 100 Nouns! Reply #64. Oct 21 18, 5:09 PM |

Genesis went to World. I will wait for a few days, in case someone wants to claim some words and then I will claim a new pair, the fourth one, if I may! QuiWriMo, after all, every bit helps!! Reply #75. Nov 02 18, 7:29 AM |

Hi ya tiye. Everyone gets 4 pairs so you aren't taking anything away from others to do those. In fact last time we were begging for someone to complete the last few words so we need you :) Reply #76. Nov 11 18, 12:01 PM |

Ok, then, my friend Godwit, I will gladly take my fourth pair which will be revolution and LEGO! Good luck to everyone who is going to take those last words! Reply #77. Nov 11 18, 12:52 PM |

I guess I'll try "star" and "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" for my fourth and final pair of this set. Reply #78. Nov 11 18, 10:36 PM |

Submitted "star" to World and "E.T." to Movies. Reply #79. Nov 11 18, 11:36 PM |
