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!

"Castle" was just submitted in Music, and "Andean condor" in Animals. For my fourth and final pair, I'll take "paladin" and "Mount Pinatubo", please! Reply #41. Mar 18 19, 5:03 PM |

1. Thanks to trident for sending me the list of ten nouns which I contributed to this exercise. 2. Here are my second pair: "crab-apple" has been uploaded to Humanities and "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" has been uploaded to Movies. 3. For my third set, may I please have "hotdog" and the "Toledo, Ohio". Reply #42. Mar 18 19, 6:26 PM |

Yam was withdrawn from science (although I am working on whether it can be resubmitted there). It has now been submitted to the movies category. Reply #43. Mar 19 19, 8:23 PM |

Epinephrine was submitted to People, and Perito Moreno Glacier (perhaps unsurprisingly) to Geography. Reply #45. Mar 20 19, 7:43 AM |

For my fourth and final set, I'll pick up peanut and Maya Angelou. Reply #46. Mar 21 19, 6:10 AM |

I am happy to report that "hot dog" went up to Movies and "Toledo, Ohio" went up to Music. As my fourth and final pair for this round, may I please have "boat" and "Eskimo"? Reply #48. Mar 21 19, 7:59 PM |

Haven't done any for awhile, so may I try "chair" and "Kiribati", please? Reply #49. Mar 23 19, 9:32 AM |

"Chair" has gone to Humanities, and "Kiribati" to Geography. Reply #50. Mar 23 19, 5:21 PM |

Maya Angelou went to People and peanut went to Hobbies. Been quite liking chipping these singles in, I've written almost three quizzes worth of them but felt after several years' absence from authoring an actual quiz was too onerous to face immediately. Hopefully the upcoming team challenge helps me get over that hump! See you next time, perhaps. Reply #51. Mar 24 19, 6:56 AM |

"Kitten" went to Literature and "Pere Lachaise Cemetery" went to People. I will wait a bit for my fourth pair to give other authors a chance. Will be back! Reply #52. Mar 24 19, 9:14 AM |

I have uploaded "Eskimo" to Music and "Boat" to Music, as well. This brings to its exciting conclusion my participation in this round. May this clever device for inspiring single questions go on forever! Reply #53. Mar 24 19, 11:36 PM |

I will take corkscrew in hobbies and neutron in science Reply #54. Mar 26 19, 7:55 AM |

Quickly before you submit, masfon, the specific noun is "neuston" not neutron. Reply #55. Mar 26 19, 7:59 AM |
