GAME: Pokémon Hangman v.53 (MA) + ANNOUNCEMENT!!

[Shadow Wolf]

NEW ANNOUNCEMENT: A new rule has been added to the game of Pokemon Hangman, so be sure to check it out.

ANNOUNCEMENT: mr_pikachu has created a Pokémon randomizer that will help you pick a Pokémon when it is your turn to post a puzzle. This will help make sure that every Pokémon will have an equal opportunity of coming up. Here is the link to it: The Official Pokémon Hangman Randomizer (http://pokemon-randomizer.greatnow.com/randomizer.html)

ANNOUNCEMENT: Randomizer Update! If you select an Unown plushie using the Official Pokémon Hangman Randomizer, it will also name what Unown form has been selected in parentheses, like "UNOWN (A)." Don't include this extra letter (or symbol) in the puzzle, however. Just tell the winner what the form is when you award the plushie!


Pokémon Hangman v.53

I'm sure we've all played hangman when you're bored, or at least heard of it. Pokemon Hangman was first created by Mist who is associated with the Charmander Central Club in giving out "plushies" as prizes for people who guessed correctly. People began big collections of these "plushies" when this game was first introduced to PCG, and I hope that people will extend their big collections, or even start them, today.

Rules
Newest rules in Light Yellow

The rules of Hangman are fairly straight-forward. If you don't know them, then watch a few people post and we're sure you'll get the hang of it. *sigh*

But we do have specific rules that we need to follow to make the game slightly trickier. You may only post a maximum of THREE single letter guesses per person before you must guess the name of the Pokemon. This rule is subject to change. But for now it's THREE and only THREE single letter guesses per person, per round. This shouldn't be too hard to follow. If you notice someone that has made more than three single letter guesses then you should be smart and tell them so. :rolleyes:

Each player may not guess a vowel (A, E, I, O, or U) until they have guessed at least one consonant. However, anyone may make Pokemon guesses before guessing a consonant.

When someone guesses the word correctly it is their turn to think of a Pokemon for others to guess. Please make sure you don't mess up for other people's sake - Double check to see if a letter is present in the Pokemon's name you're doing before you post to avoid mistakes. Also, if it's your turn, try and pick a Pokemon that hasn't already been done. You don't need to always pick evolved forms. The rarity of each plushie should remain the same so we have a nice mix. You may only win a maximum of three plushies per day - This is to prevent a certain group of people called plushie hogs grabbing all the stuff every second turn. (Each person’s “day” depends on the time listed in their forum profile. Each new day begins at midnight.)

If you win three plushies you may still play, however if you win after you've exceeded the limit you must either A) Give the plushie to someone else who is less fortunate or B) Do not take the plushie as a prize. Just make sure everyone has a fair go too!

Legendaries can be won here, but only a worker may give them out. Anyone else may not. If this were possible we'd have legendaries popping up everywhere, and they deserve a rarity. Specialized plushies may also be won here, like a Shiny Claydol, or a Pikachu with a Blue Scarf... the list continues, and only the workers may give them out. You won't know if you've won one of these very rare plushies until you win the plushie.

The only pokemon that aren't allowed to be done by the players here are: Zapdos, Articuno, Moltres, Mew, Mewtwo, Lugia, Ho-oh, Celebi, Raikou, Suicune, Entei, Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Jirachi, Deoxys, Groudon, Kyogre, Latios and Latias. All others are fine. Oh, and please don't do any Pokemon from the upcoming Diamond and Pearl games yet, either.

You are allowed a maximum of NINE incorrect guesses before it's Game Over, not per person, that includes everyone's incorrect guesses. Usually people guess the name before the nine incorrect guesses so don't worry. If no one guesses the Pokemon correctly by the quota then no one receives a plushie, and one of the workers must do the next puzzle. You don't get two turns in a row at it. You may only post one guess until the person posts an update of the current Pokemon.

Try and not be too idle, the workers would like the game to be fast moving. If you guess the Pokemon correctly and then you're going to be away for 2 weeks then don't wait until you get back because you'll most likely forget about the game. Give someone else a turn.

Right now, an incorrect letter is counted as 1 incorrect guess and incorrect Pokemon are also counted as 2 incorrect guesses. This is also subject to change later on to improve/decrease the difficulty, if any of the workers think it's needed.

Absolutely no editing your guess at the name or a letter. If you plan to edit your post and notice a late spelling mistake and want to change it then specify so. Don't use this as an excuse to change your guess because you might have someone who witnessed you with your previous guess. You'll be in big trouble then.

If it is your turn to post a puzzle, you have 24 hours to post or update the puzzle. In the case of updating, this applies to four situations:

1. When someone makes a letter guess, and it is in (or not in) the puzzle (this also applies to letter guesses in advance).

2. When someone makes a Pokemon guess, and it is wrong/right

3. When so many guesses are made that the man might hang (this also applies to letter guesses in advance as well)

4. When you have yet to post after winning a plushie

If you don't post 24 hours after any situation above, you will lose your turn, and one of the workers will start the next puzzle. (note: the 24 hour rule doesn't apply to the workers).

If you make an incorrect Pokemon guess by accident, you aren't allowed to delete it and make a new guess before the person whose turn it is updates.

When you are guessing the name of a Pokemon on anyone else's turn, you must spell the Pokemon correctly in order to win a plushie of that Pokemon. Example of this rule in action: Let's say someone guessed "Picachu" as their answer to a puzzle, and then another person afterword guesses "Pikachu", if the puzzle is indeed Pikachu, the person who posted second would get the plushie, since the first person spelt it wrong. So please try and avoid making this mistake every time you guess a Pokemon. As for a counter-example, if the man is close to hanging, a correct guess for the Pokemon that is spelled incorrectly will unfortunately make the man hang if there are 1 or 2 guesses remaining, so be careful about this.

Also, if it's your birthday, you're more than welcome to pick any plushie you want for your birthday (excluding legendaries and D/P Pokemon), however, you cannot pick a shiny plushie, as they are obviously rarer than legendaries. When it is your birthday, just post here saying what regular coloured, non-legendary plushie you want (again, you cannot choose a D/P Pokemon either until D/P are released here in North America), and one of the workers will give you your plushie on their next post.


Plushies

What is a Plushie?

Plushies are soft toys. In this game, if you guess a Pokemon correctly you receive a soft toy of the Pokemon you guessed correctly.

What do I do with a Plushie?

Umm... look at them? They aren't really used for anything, mainly just a fun collecting sort of thing. That's all. Maybe one day they might be used for something, but that's a doubtful possibility. If you have a site it might be wise to put them on there to keep track of what you have. Or keep them on a word document.

I don't like my plushie! Can I trade with someone else?

Yes, you may as long as the other person agrees. If they don't want to trade with you then you should respect that. There are many others that may want to trade. Since this game was created long ago some people may already have a decent amount of plushies they might like to trade. You could try sending a PM/IM to one of them if you would like to trade or ask for a list of their plushies. Most people who play Expedia have plushies, so try trading with one of them, or you could start playing the game to extend your collection a different way.

Can I sell my plushies? Or buy one off someone?

No, you may not sell your plushies for CCPs or Stamps.

How many plushies am I allowed to own?

As many as you can win here. Just remember you can only win a maximum of three every day!

Final Words

ONLY post the names of Pokemon. No dictionary words! That is if you haven't been bothered to read the rules, which I recommend reading. There are well over 300 Pokemon to choose from so good luck! (And again, please don’t do any Pokemon from the upcoming Diamond and Pearl games yet.)

If there's something you don't understand then ask mr_pikachu, Number1ChanseyFan, or me - we bite but we'll still help. Or maybe someone else can help. Have fun! Your hosts and hostess- mr_pikachu, Number1ChanseyFan, shinypkmnchaser

The man has been hung a total of thirty-three times
Hangman makes up approximately 1/5 of the total posts in PCG since last year; considering this game began in very late April

OK, everything set!

Inferno, it's your turn to make the new puzzle(if I'm not mistaken)

S in advance please; Good Luck to everyone! ^_^

[mr_pikachu]

I'll take an R in advance. Everyone, be sure to read the rules change! If you don't see it coming, you'll trip over it.

[Blademaster]

Now that's a little bit better! :cool:

P in advance, por favor.

[darktyranitar]

*you didn't see me post before*

I'll take a... ummm, T in advance, please.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Okay here is the first puzzle;

_ _ _ _ _ _ R P (8)

Wrong: T
Left: 8

(P.S I think the new vowel rule will make things much better ..... I hope.)

[darktyranitar]

Is this a Magikarp?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Yes, it is the pathetic Pokemon Magikarp (my opinion, not your opinion ... just to make sure I didn't upset anybody.)

Here is your Magikarp plushie and I will take an N in advance.

[darktyranitar]

Eh... Magikarp is fine for a plushie, I guess.

Okay, next!

_ N _ _ _ N _ (7)

Wrong:
Left: 9

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is there an A in this puzzle?

[Lady Vulpix]

Is this pokemon Snorunt?

[Number1ChanseyFan]

[color=magenta]This has got to be Snorunt, (congrats, Gabi!!) so I will take a C in advance for next puzzle.

[Inferno_Dragon]

I will take an T in advance for the next puzzle also.

[mr_pikachu]

And I'll add an R in advance.

[Shadow Wolf]

Well, the puzzle hasn't been awarded yet, but it will soon be so...

S in advance please

[Blademaster]

Eh... OK.

(jumps on bandwagon)

D in advance, please!

[darktyranitar]

Uh... *is late* Yes, it is a Snorunt! Congrats, Gabi!

*run off*

[Lady Vulpix]

Thank you!

Now to randomize.

Wrong guesses: C, T, S.

[mr_pikachu]

Let's go for an L here.

[Lady Vulpix]

No L, sorry.


_ _ _ R _ _ _ (7)
Wrong guesses: C, T, S, L.

http://www.geocities.com/gsteren/H4.txt

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is there an A in the puzzle?

[Blademaster]

Ummmmmmm....

...Um?

:idea:

Who's that Pokemon?

It's Umbreon!

[Shadow Wolf]

If I'm not mistaken, there's a chance that this one is a Vibrava.

[+conspiracy+]

could be Flareon

[Blademaster]

No L, sorry.


_ _ _ R _ _ _ (7)
Wrong guesses: C, T, S, L.

No, it couldn't be.

[Number1ChanseyFan]

[color=magenta]Another C in advance for the next puzzle please!!

[Number1ChanseyFan]

Ok, it appears that we have lost some of the posts from Hangman when the switch from the SMF to the vB happened. However, you can still go to this link (http://www.pokemasters.net/smf/index.php?topic=46014.0) to see the SMF version of TPM and see this version of Hangman how it was before the switch took place.

In short, we left off with Inferno_Dragon doing a 6 letter puzzle. Louis/shinypkmnchaser had made an incorrect guess of the letter S, and there were three more letter guesses that were awaiting confirmation, mr_pikachu guessed an R, shinypkmnchaser guessed an O, and I guessed a C, so Inferno_Dragon, if you want to go on and put up the puzzle again using this information, you can go ahead and do it!!

[Inferno_Dragon]

Okay, here is the puzzle continued(and thank you for getting this started again, Number1ChanseyFan);

There isn't a C or R in this puzzle, but there is an O.

_ O _ _ _ _ (6)

Wrong: S,C,R
Remaining: 6

[Shadow Wolf]

I bet there's a T on this one.

[Number1ChanseyFan]

Is this Pokemon Togepi?

[Inferno_Dragon]

There is a T in this puzzle, but it isn't Togepi.

_ O _ _ T _ (6)

Wrong: S,C,R,Togepi
Remaining: 4

[Blademaster]

Who's that Pokemon?

It's Ponyta!

[Inferno_Dragon]

Yes, it is the lovable Pokemon Ponyta. Here is your Ponyta plushie and I would like an T in advance.

[Blademaster]

Thanks, ID.

(By the way, when you edit your posts in this game, you ought to note explicitly what you're editing, even if it doesn't affect your guess.

...Yes, that means I saw the tag. ;))

[Number1ChanseyFan]

Meh, sorry about that. I keep messing up my color tags because I am used to not having to close them on the SMF board, I must have gotten lazy or something. XD.

Is this Pokemon Metagross?

[mr_pikachu]

Sorry, but no.


_ _ _ _ _ _ _ S S (9)

Incorrect Guesses: Metagross
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 7


And I figured it was worth it to give you heck about that. You don't do things like that often, so I have to take any chance I get. ^_^

[Number1ChanseyFan]

XD I messed up my color tags one time a couple of years ago, and somebody noticed it before I could fix them, and he gave me heck about it too. ^_^ You know, I have been writing in this Magenta font about a month or so after I joined in November 2000, so you would think I would have it figured out by now. :)

Is this Pokemon Heracross?

[mr_pikachu]

That's the one! You've won a Heracross, Christen!

[Number1ChanseyFan]

Thanks!! That is my second Heracross, so if anybody is interested in a Fighting Bug plushie, let me know!!

Anyways... Yep, there is an R in this puzzle!!

[mr_pikachu]

I should really be working on term papers... is there an N here?

[Number1ChanseyFan]

There is not an N in this puzzle.... there are 2 N's in this puzzle!!

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is there an D in this puzzle?

[Number1ChanseyFan]

Yes, there is a D in this puzzle, but are no A's in it, so this should make things a little bit easier!!

[Lady Vulpix]

It can only be Nidorino.

[mr_pikachu]

Darn these term papers! Keeping me busy with such nonsense...

Nice move, Gabi! I'll take an R in advance upon Christen's inevitable confirmation.

[Number1ChanseyFan]

Yes, it is Nidorino!! Congrats on winning the plushie, Gabi!! *Hands Gabi a Nidorino plushie* Your turn!!

[Lady Vulpix]

Most of the action in this game happens while I'm away, but sometimes I do get here in time.

Is there an S in the puzzle?

[mr_pikachu]

I'll add an L to that.

[Number1ChanseyFan]

Is there a C in the puzzle?

[darktyranitar]

And just to make thing interesting, I'll take a wild guess... Magmar?

[Blademaster]

Nah, not Magmar. It's one letter short.

There's the possibility it's Magmar2, but I won't risk guessing that yet... :lookout:

[Shadow Wolf]

I will hunt for a P.

[darktyranitar]

Nah, not Magmar. It's one letter short.

There's the possibility it's Magmar2, but I won't risk guessing that yet... :lookout:

You're right! Oh well...

Where's Gabi, anyway?

I'll take... an S.

[mr_pikachu]

You can make as many Pokemon guesses as you like (well, until the puzzle hangs, at least), but only one per puzzle update. The one-guess-per-update limit goes for letters, as well.

(The exception, of course, is when a guess isn't listed in the following update... you're still allowed to make another guess after that update.)

Okay... is this a Slugma?

[darktyranitar]

Aww man...

Nicely done Blade. :yes:

[mr_pikachu]

Quite right! The Blastoise is yours, Blademaster. Well done!

[Blademaster]

A Blastoise, eh?

Wheeeeeee! :D

I'm betting this is a Banette.

And Blademaster, I think I'll aim some cannons at you next.

[Blademaster]

Yes, it's a Banette.

(stuffs plushie in cannon and runs to Canada)

[mr_pikachu]

Ah, thank you, Blademaster! That's another new plushie for the collection!

And it's a good thing I own 50.01% of Canada...

I... (cough) hate... Canada. :sweat:

And this looks like Wobbuffet. Maybe.

[mr_pikachu]

Oh, sure! Blame Canada.

Well, the Wobbuffet is yours anyway, Blademaster! Nice move!

Cool, a Wobbuffet! ^^

Huh, who owns the other 49.99%??? :confused:

[Blademaster]

Huh, who owns the other 49.99%??? :confused:

That would be Yves D. FlineFisch.

Okay... Corphish?

[mr_pikachu]

It could also be a Porygon2.

[Blademaster]

It could be, but it isn't.

Randomizer: DING!

(Corphish plushie rolls out)

Good work, Faiz. Watch the claws, though... :eek:

[Number1ChanseyFan]

Ok... S in advance please.

[mr_pikachu]

Smooth move, dt! I'll take an R in advance.

[darktyranitar]

Thanks!

How about an I?

Left: 1

One more guess! I guess this one is going down...

[Blademaster]

Well, might as well take one last stab at this...

Is there an E?

[mr_pikachu]

Huh. I can't find a single Pokemon that has 8 letters, lacks an S, R, M, I, and T, and that isn't Clefable. Sure you haven't missed a letter at some point, dt?

[darktyranitar]

...Aw hell, I did miss one out; it's the M! >_<

And the puzzle is hang, by the way; there's no E. And the answer is a Jumpluff.

Sorry for not noticing that earlier... Oh well, take it away, mr_pika!

[mr_pikachu]

>_<

No, it's NOT hung.

You counted the M as an incorrect guess. Since it's not incorrect, that point against the puzzle doesn't count.

That brings us to 2 guesses remaining prior to Blademaster's guess of E. The miss brings us to 1 incorrect guess... but the puzzle is still alive.

However, in your last post, you revealed the identity of the plushie, thus invalidating the puzzle. So the man is not hanged, but the puzzle in invalid nonetheless.

But this time you got lucky. Good job.
