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!

I'm seeing some excellent single questions come through for this round. Keep it up, everyone! I would also say that we can relax the question limits early this time around, and in fact, I think that rule has likely outlived its usefulness. Next round, I will probably be removing that stipulation. Reply #42. Mar 03 23, 6:18 PM |

"Blanket" went to Television and "Aeschylus" went to People. Reply #43. Mar 05 23, 2:15 AM |

May I please have "hair" and "Peloponnese" next? Reply #46. Mar 27 23, 12:50 PM |

I have uploaded both "hair" and "Peloponnese" to Hobbies. According to the famous Greek hairdresser Trifonas Samaras, "Many people make a hobby out of tending to their hair; far fewer make the Peloponnese their hobby. " Reply #47. Mar 27 23, 2:27 PM |

I guess I'll claim another pair. May I have "narcissus" and "Persephone", please? Merci beacoup. Reply #56. Apr 16 23, 10:35 AM |

"Persephone" is settled snugly in Humanities while "Narcissus" is planned to go in Hobbies. Reply #57. Apr 16 23, 5:14 PM |

I just submitted "narcissus". For my next pair, I'll take "liver" and "Trojan war", sil-vous-plait. Merci, again. Reply #58. Apr 16 23, 5:24 PM |

"Liver" is in Sci/Tech and "Trojan war" is in History. I'm not claiming another pair for this round because I have no inspiration for the remaining topics. Reply #59. Apr 19 23, 5:07 PM |
| LadyNym

"Fire" was submitted to Humanities, and "Garden of the Hesperides" to Sci/Tech. For my next pair, I'll gladly take "cape" and "Charybdis". Reply #60. May 01 23, 11:16 AM |
