Subject: 100 Nouns (11) - COMPLETE
Posted by: trident
Date: May 14 19
A new set of nouns is ready for all of you! There's no rhyme or reason to this list, just a set of random nouns for you to sink your teeth into. Good luck! Here's a 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!

I have finally submitted "carp" to animals (but it may end up in hobbies -- who knows? After all, carping is a favorite hobby of many. . .). "Ars Poetica" was submitted to literature. Reply #101. Jun 09 19, 8:51 AM |

I'd like to take more, but with all the gardening and "Hangin' out in the kitchen" I just don't have much time. Maybe if some are left next week. . . Reply #102. Jun 09 19, 8:55 AM |

"Sonnet" finally submitted in Literature, and "Mariana Trench" in Geography. I'll wait a bit to see if there are any takers for any of the remaining words. Reply #113. Jun 27 19, 6:29 AM |

I wish any of these were standing out to me. I'd say if you're waiting to take any, the time is now. ;) Reply #114. Jul 12 19, 12:44 AM |

I'll take "brooch" and "Rabbinic Judaism". I have a question-writing Daily Challenge today, and this will come in handy :D. Reply #116. Jul 21 19, 4:51 AM |

I'm traveling and have little web access. What's happening here with this game? Shunning "grease"? Reply #119. Jul 27 19, 6:54 AM |

I had researched Tokugawa clan a bit while still at home. It's fascinating but complicated. At least for my little brain, there's plenty of potential for getting it wrong. Needs a true smartie. Where could we find one of those, I wonder? Reply #120. Jul 27 19, 6:56 AM |
