Word Builders [GAME]

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Just throwing this here. If you think it doesn't work, ignore.

A new game in TPM GGG? It's not Mod Approved, is it? Hey, but games don't need to be Approved anymore.

Anyways, these first rules are only a trunk. As we see how the game develops, we can add or omit new rules. I can see this game perhaps developing a competitive aspect because it can be played in teams, too. As for the game name, you can even suggest a more imaginative one.

RULES

Each player is given 30 random letters per round.

1) One round lasts for 1 week,
2) or if every player runs out of letters
3) or if Mikachu Yukitatsu steps in and says so.

Each player types a total of 5 letters per post. They can use the letters to start new words or add letters to 'words' started in previous posts. A letter can be added by either

1) putting a letter after the letter(s) posted previously e.g. wor + d = word
2) or putting a letter before the letter(s) posted e.g. s + word = sword
3) or even putting a letter between the letters posted e.g. somebody posted the word 'pot', and then someone adds po + s + t = post

The minimum word length is currently 3 letters. Abbreviations are not allowed.

Example:

Player 1 is given letters

y, n, o, g, c, q, t, o, v, a,
q, c, g, e, r, e, l, z, i, x,
e, p, j, v, y, k, v, u, x, i

Player 2 is given letters

e, n, z, b, i, h, y, u, y, y
k, z, j, o, r, s, m, a, e, x
e, r, n, s, x, i, h, o, t, i

If two or more players post almost simultaneously, they are adviced to quickly edit their posts.

This reminds me of Scrabble. So... we take 3 or more spare letters and use them?

If that is the case...

Sorry Gabi, I think you misunderstood the rules.

Now that you have joined the game, I'll give you these 30 letters to use:

w, i, u, g, n, f, f, o, b, g
w, s, h, s, n, f, d, w, j, e
a, f, b, f, y, r, j, j, t, z

d
y
g
q
x

are still the only letters here.

[Lady Vulpix]

Ah, OK. So I use 5 letters now to form (parts of) words?

I think you need to follow the current puzzle and use the letters Mikachu gives you, Jeff.

Fett One, I'll give you these letters

r, m, i, s, h, l, f, o, l, g
e, i, k, y, p, l, d, h, j, e
k, e, y, k, w, r, b, b, p, v

It seems the game rules change a bit as we play. If anybody wants to discuss them, go ahead. I myself am proposing a new rule: the game doesn't end when all the letters are used. You will just be given new letters. Also, there will be no time limit. Let's just keep this going!

...And I think this game can be excempted from the "wait 2 posts rule" because Mikachu controls the flow of new posts.
