Subject: 100 Nouns (12) - COMPLETE
Posted by: trident
Date: Sep 18 19
It's been a while, so let's get back into the 100 Nouns groove. There's no theme this time around. Let's just get random with some nouns. Here's how you play:
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!

Callooh! Callay! This is the season of our great content! May I have, please, foxglove and “A Canticle for Leibowitz”? Reply #4. Sep 18 19, 1:29 PM |

I've written foxglove for Sci Tech and "A Canticle for Leibowitz" for Literature. As soon as two of the five questions with which I have clogged up my queue are edited, I will upload these little jewels and choose two more. It is great fun to have this opportunity back once more; thanks trident! Reply #5. Sep 18 19, 6:50 PM |

It's always so fun to see the questions that come out of these! I'm glad authors enjoy this. Btw, I totally reversed "shot and pike" which should actually be "pike and shot." Whoops! Reply #6. Sep 18 19, 8:03 PM |

Great! If you are looking to claim another pair, there's no need to wait until your questions are accepted, just submitted. Reply #9. Sep 19 19, 4:50 PM |

I just submitted "foxglove" to Sci Tech and "A Canticle for Leibowitz" to Literature. Now, may I please have as my second pair "oyster" and "croque monsieur"? Reply #10. Sep 19 19, 5:28 PM |

"Tofu" just went to Hobbies, and "Hindu Kush" to Geography (not very original, I know :D...). For my next pair, I'll take "thorn" and "Nahuatl language", please! I love this game so much. Reply #12. Sep 21 19, 8:55 AM |

Shoofly pie is online also. My first pair is complete. dress and Dwayne Wade please Reply #13. Sep 22 19, 7:43 AM |

I just uploaded "croque monsieur" to Hobbies but must wait until my queue opens up to upload "oyster." Once that's done, I'll choose my third pair. This is great fun! Reply #14. Sep 22 19, 7:47 PM |

Clay went to Hobbies, Veil of Veronica went to Religion. For my second pair, I choose grapefruit and Piet Mondrian. Thank you. Reply #15. Sep 23 19, 3:36 AM |

I am most pleased to report that one of the five questions clogging my queue passed muster and, quickly as I could, uploaded "oyster" to Humanities. Now may I please have, as my third pair, "sauce" and "Little Shop of Horrors"? Reply #16. Sep 24 19, 10:58 PM |

Grapefruit went to Hobbies and Piet Mondrian went to Humanities. I will claim atrium and Bay of Biscay as my third pair but they will have to wait a bit, five questions are waiting for admittance. Thank you. Reply #17. Sep 25 19, 2:20 AM |

Queued 'vampire' in Movies and 'One More Time' in Music. I'll take pyramid and cordyceps next. Reply #18. Sep 25 19, 2:58 PM |

Like tiye, I have my third pair (sauces and Little Shop of Horrors) ready to go but I have five quizzes awaiting editing. Just as soon as two of those clear, I'll pop up these completed questions. Reply #19. Sep 25 19, 11:57 PM |

"Little Shop of Horrors" was just uploaded to Movies. I cannot upload "sauce" because there were still four questions in my queue pending editing when I found the hole through which to push "Little Shop." Patience is an attribute of God Himself but the Almighty has had so much longer to learn it than have I. Reply #20. Sep 26 19, 5:52 PM |
