Subject: 100 Nouns (22) - COMPLETE
Posted by: trident
Date: Feb 18 23
Hello all, here is our new 100 Nouns list. This selection was completed with the assistance of author tiye. There is a theme this time around, which is Greek/Roman mythology. Of course, your single questions don't have to be directly related to mythology if you'd like to take them in a different direction. Best of luck!
A reminder of how the rules work:
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!

For my first pair, "chalice" was uploaded to Movies and "Mount Olympus" was uploaded to Geography. For my second pair, may I please have alligator & Hephaestus (which would be a really bad name for a pub in Australia). Reply #6. Feb 19 23, 1:31 PM |

Just drawing your attention to my post #8 trident, as you haven't crossed through the pair I chose and subsequent ones have been marked off. Reply #13. Feb 21 23, 2:33 AM |

Thanks rossian. Kyle is the one that has the powers of crossing off, so I hope he sees your message. I am wondering if he saw the trident and thought maybe you were addressing me rather than choosing a pair lol. Reply #14. Feb 21 23, 3:55 AM |

"Sandal" went to Hobbies and "Themiscyra" went to Humanities. For my second pair I'll take "feather" and "Phaeton." Reply #15. Feb 21 23, 5:00 AM |

Do you think that "Sirens" should go to Humanities? Reply #20. Feb 21 23, 12:54 PM |
