![]() Amid the excitement of the last TC, you may have noticed that Tokugawa, our ghost, is no longer among us. At least, that appears to be the case. Just to be sure, we are going to be going on a ghost hunt at Himeji Castle, one of the most famous castles of Feudal Japan. That means we will be playing Ghost! Each of you will be faced against one other player. The player to go first will state a letter. The other player will then add a letter to either the front or the back. Then the third player will add a letter to the front or back of that. This will continue until one of the players makes a word of more than 3 letters, at which point they will be declared the loser and will be eliminated from the challenge.
Remember, letters can be added to the front OR back. Also, while you do not want to spell a word, you must always be building towards a word. We will be doing this tournament-style. All matchups have been randomly determined: Game 1: Isabella vs Bismarck Game 2: Gandhi vs Reagan Game 3: Roosevelt vs Justinian Game 4: Churchill vs Victoria Game 5: Winner of Game 1 vs Winner of Game 2 Game 6: Winner of Game 3 vs Winner of Game 4 Finals: Winner of Game 5 vs Winner of Game 6 I will make a subforum in the Challenge Beach for you to play your games. In the interest of keeping this moving, I highly recommend each pair agrees on a time you can both be online and then hammer out the entire match at once. Remember, outside aids are not allowed! If you won a challenge advantage earlier in the game and wish to use it, please post something to that effect BEFORE your first post in your match. |

What constitutes a word? Scrabble dictionary rules? Are there any rules about prolonged absence? Edited by Reagan, Mar 1 2016, 08:25:43 PM.

Um, try not to be a dick about it, I guess? If somebody goes too long I'll harass them over Facebook, and then if it continues I'll harass them some more, and then strike three is disqualification? That sounds good. EDIT: Yes, Scrabble dictionary rules. Edited by Herodotus, Mar 1 2016, 08:27:09 PM.

I will not. "Bern" is also a proper noun and is similarly disallowed. |
