Subject: 100 Nouns (23)
Posted by: trident
Date: Sep 20 23
We have the theme of COLOR for this round. The generic nouns are objects that are often used to describe certain colors. Remember that the question doesn't specifically have to be about that object/color. You can simply use the word in the question. The specific nouns are all titles (songs, books, movies, etc.) that use colors in their title.
There's a small rule change to Rule #2. Since most authors have been playing this game fairly, there's not really a need to limit authors from taking as many pairs as they want. Enjoy!
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. RULE CHANGE: There are no longer any limits on how many pairs an author takes, but if the amount somehow causes an issue with other players, we can go back to having limits.
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!

May I grab another pair or is it too soon? I promise I won't hog the list, just using the ideas to get me the last few questions I need to reach 50 (I only need 6 more after the two submitted yesterday). I'd like to grab "peacock" and "The Yellow Wallpaper". Reply #6. Sep 22 23, 7:54 AM |
