View Full Version : The "Can you spell?" Game- TTG edition!

This is a classic forum game that plays on edit conflict- the object is to spell a word or phrase ONE LETTER AT A TIME. But the twist is this- you can only post ONE letter, and you cannot post another until someone else has posted the next letter. Since this game is best played on crowded forums, I've added a couple of new rules to keep the game interesting:


-Two players can alternate posts to complete most of the word, but may not post any of the final 3 letters, which must be completed by 3 new players.

-In a phrase, a <space> must be provided.

Only I may post the current word/question.

You first (easy) task is:

SPELL THE WORD "TELLTALE"

Nevermind, that one really sucked and made me want to puke.

Alright, for reals this time:

SPELL THE BEST TELLTALE SEIRIES

Now that sounds like fun- now it's a race to spell the best seiries before someone else ruins the word to get their series recognized!

... oh and that rmnd.s me: no abbrv.s!

"T"
Last letter for the two of us. Usually forum games are meant to create a humorous outcome, but unless hundreds of people are online at the same time, I can't see that happening here.

*comment*

This word is a warmup- a test run, if you will. I want to see how well "Can you spell" adapts to these forums, then maybe tweak the rules so that it works better- trust me; I got alotta stuff planned for this game, but, as I've said, the traffic here can be quite, er, minimal at times. Still, I know edit conflicts are prominent on this board in partuicular, but I still need to experiment a little before we get to the fun part.

In short: Trust me, just for a little while yet.

OK, that's one done. Now, for something a bit more difficult- spell out the name of the best way to kill time, either silly or realistic. A realistic example might be "watching YouTube videos", or "playing video games". A silly example might be "manufacturing nuclear bombs" or "painting red tape yellow", or whatever. Just remember that it must be coherent, and it must be at least three words long. Our system judging coherency is somewhat similar to this system (http://www.videlectrix.com/storeflash/nonsequitur.swf), so please do something creative and/or funny if your going to do a silly one.
