Subject: 100 Nouns (14) - COMPLETE
Posted by: trident
Date: Feb 26 20
Here we have the next round of 100 Nouns! This one has no special theme, just several nouns I thought might be of interest to you all. I hope you enjoy these varied topics. 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!

My "Recently Accepted" is stuffed! Thanks, speedy editors. But I believe that means I need to pause for a bit before I can submit my last one this set. Reply #87. Apr 05 20, 11:02 AM |

Sofa is queued in TV, and cooperative pulling paradigm is queued in Sci/Tech. The latter is a very intriguing scientific concept that I just learned when researching for more information. Thanks Trident for the interesting keyword. :) Reply #98. Apr 08 20, 3:44 AM |

"The latter is a very intriguing scientific concept that I just learned when researching for more information. Thanks Trident for the interesting keyword. :)" You're welcome! I often try to sneak little ideas in here that many players have never seen before, but are otherwise interesting. Reply #99. Apr 08 20, 7:01 AM |
