The next word!
Posted: Sat Jun 19, 2010 2:17 pm
Okay, this is a game that I used to play with my friends at school. Usually, the loser had to do something dumb, but we reduced it because we get into problems because of it (We play it in class, it's loud and annoys the teachers).
So anyway, it'll be a bit harder to play it in English, but we'll manage. The game is played like this: I say a word. The poster below has to say a word that starts with the last two letters from the previous word. If that is impossible, the person above lost. Why? I'll explain it on an example:
Player 1: Meme
Player 2: Metal
Player 3: Alarm
See, there's no word that starts with the letters "Rm", so the round broke. It's player 2 who allowed player 3 to break the round, so player 2 lost. Once the round is broken, the next poster starts a new one with a new word. Now that that's clear, here are some rules:
-No words that end with "ing" or "nt". There are far too many, would make it uninteresting.
-No plural. The "s" on the end of the word makes quite a lot of words that break the round (Computers, guitars, floors, etc.)
-If you're gonna use verbs, stick to infinitive and past simple.
-No names. Keep things like Ferdinand or Bigglesworth to yourself. This includes states, towns, cities, villages, lakes, rivers, everything.
-No abbreviations.
-If a word ends with two same letters, one of them is scratched. For example: "Sickness". In this case, "ES" are the two last letters.
-If you're starting a new round, you can't use words that make it impossible to continue.
-Every round has to go through min. five words without anyone breaking it. The above example is an exception!
-If a word isn't said in an hour, the second-last poster is considered the loser, and the next poster may start a new round.
-Don't repeat words that already appeared on the current page.
-Don't repeat words that were already use in the current round.
I might add more rules later.
