Someone posts a word or words. from their post you have to guess the word they have to describe.
If you guess correctly, it's your turn. Simple!
Rules -
No propper nouns.
There is a maximum of ten points per turn available. If someone guesses your word with you having posted just 1 word, you get 10 points. For every word you post, your score reduces by 1 point.
You can make a total of 4 posts per turn.
If no-one has guessed your word within 12 hours of your first post, you lose and you should pm a new word to the person two slots back in time. (ie, if kokiri pm's me a word, I win, then I pm Bobman a word and he doesn't get it guessed, he should send a pm all the way back to kokiri.)
If someone guesses your word, you must send them a PM ststing the word they must hint at, and 3 words they cannot use.
Only two guesses per pogger per word.
You may not use clues like - sounds like, has five syllables etc. nor may you creatively use punctuation.
While impossible to draw a clear line, you should also not use derivitave words of your guess word or disallowed words. Use some common sense and a general feel of what appears acceptable in the thread thus far in this regard.
Example -
I start. i have to hint at the word bridge. I cannot use the words over, hump or road.
My first post is
drive accross river on one
That is 5 words i have used, so if someone guesses it, I score 6 points. Note, I needn't post a sentance, 1 or more unconnected words is fine.
If no-one can get it, I may post more words, up to a maximum of ten, reducing my potential score by 1 point per word.
As soon as someone guesses correctly, i record my score itt and send them a PM stating the word they must hint at, and 3 words that they cannot use. They then start over.
If someone sends you a word you do not understand you may google it. Googling clues to work out what word is being hinted at however, is forbiden.
If you use a banned word, you get zero points. then you send a new word to the person who eventually guesses the word you were describing, regardless of whethere they knew they had a banned clue or not.
