Subject: 100 Nouns (10) - COMPLETE
Posted by: trident
Date: Mar 14 19
Congratulations on all your hard work in getting to the tenth round of 100 Nouns! I would like to give a special thanks to our 10 participants who sent in the nouns for this round: Shadowmyst2004, zorba_scank, Godwit, FatherSteve, tiye, gracious1, LadyNym, celvet, shuehorn, and Triviaballer! Just an additional rule this time around...you can't pick your own words! A quick reminder of 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.
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!

Really sorry for another post, but 'Tolkien' went to People, not Literature. 4 pairs to go. Reply #104. May 02 19, 10:16 AM |

"Curious, what exactly is 'listening'? " It is the gerund form of "listen." If you are worried about this term being used in a question, there are ways it can be used. For example, as an EFL teacher, I often come across this word as one of the four language disciplines: speaking, writing, reading, and listening. Reply #106. May 02 19, 4:26 PM |

Let's see what the capable tiye does with that word. EFL? English as a foreign language? Reply #107. May 02 19, 9:56 PM |

Correct, I live in South Korea and teach English to Korean students. Reply #108. May 02 19, 11:38 PM |

I taught ESL...english as a second language. To Koreans who just moved here to the USA. :) They were wonderful. And much smarter than me too. And...laughed at my drawings. lol. Reply #109. May 04 19, 4:34 PM |

Risk, an abstract noun, is in um...humanities. Reply #112. May 04 19, 10:07 PM |

Tiny houses is in the world. Reply #113. May 05 19, 5:55 PM |

Hurrah LBaggins! Saved the day. In that case I'll do my last set, Photograph and Encyclopedia. ONE MORE SET, anyone? Reply #116. May 06 19, 10:50 AM |

"Listening", dear Godwit, went to Music and "Jacques Derrida" went to World. That's a wrap for me. See you in 100 Nouns (11)! Thank you, editors! Reply #118. May 07 19, 2:09 AM |
