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 Crimson

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.

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. If you win three plushies you may still play, however if you win after you've exceded 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! This is only in effect for 24 hours after you've received the first of your three plushies for the day.

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, Jirachi, Deoxys, Groudon, Kyogre, Latios and Latias. All others are fine.

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 two 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 editting 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.

The scores are no longer being updated - if a worker wishes to spare the time to restart the scores and keep track of everyone then they may do so.

The SPAM has become quite excessive here, and the limit is now 5 words. If any one catches you making a guess (whether it is a letter or Pokemon being guessed) that is less than 5 words, you will get a warning from Cyndaquil, Hexae, RJ, DarkPrince the Dark Knight, or Jay. Three warnings, and you will be permanently banned from the game. The workers are exempt from this rule only if they're giving someone a warning.

If you don't want Hangman permanently closed, extend your post's wordcount as much as possible to stop SPAM. Of course, do not create a story out of it. <_<

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 three 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 it will be either my turn (or RJ's turn if I am away, etc.) to post (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.

If anyone sees someone posting under 5 words, they should PM/IM me, Hexae, RJ, DarkPrince the DarkKnight, or Jay appropriately addressing the URL to the exact post, or at least the page number, and we will retort to it. Your reward? A plushie of course (which can be any kind of plushie, even a shiny or legendary). Your name will remain confidential to the accuser of this rule, so you're safe.


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.

The plushies that I can trade are:

Nosepass (3, but I am keeping one), Venomoth, Hoppip, Metang, Psyduck, Koffing (2, but I won't necessarily be keeping one of them), Slowbro, Qwilfish, Pineco, Pinsir, Snorlax, Swinub, Gulpin, Oddish, Horsea, Taillow, Electrike (2, but I am keeping one), Ninetales (2, but I am keeping one), Bagon (2, but one is from Expedia (that one is mine) and the other, which can be traded is from Pokemon Hangman), Sunflora (2, but I am keeping one), Steelix (2, but I am keeping one), Miltank (2, but I am keeping one), Castform (2, but I am keeping one), Houndoom (2, but I am keeping one), Charmander (2, but I am keeping one), Tauros (2, but I am keeping one), Whiscash (2, but I am keeping one), Masquerain (2, but I am keeping one), Electabuzz (2, but I am keeping one)

The plushies that Hexae can trade are:

Gorebyss, Crawdaunt

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

To avoid this topic being closed yet again, try and think of your own way to make the post a little lengthier. Even if it’s just "I pick the letter A", at least it isn’t a single letter reply, otherwise known as SPAM.

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!

If there's something you don't understand then ask Jay, Kyle, Hexae, RJ, or I - We bite but we'll still help Or maybe someone else can help. Have fun! Your hosts - Jay, Kyle, Hexae, RJ, and Cyndaquil

Sorry for double posting, but I don't wanna mess up the vbcode...

If you may not already know, RJ is now a worker, and so is Jay.

[shazza]

hey guys is there an E

P.S: Yes, I am a male Cyndaquil.

P.P.S: I assumed Snubull has one b. SPP said it did. And even if it is incorrect in the b value, you still would have gotten it right.

P.P.P.S: "Shazza, stop calling me names." You don't get my sense of humor then, don't you.

[Pichu]

Actually, it actually wrote "Snubull" in my old cheat list.

P: --------

X: e

[shazza]

I am just wondering, but is there an A

[abunaidesu]

Is there a S?? ^_~

[Pichu]

Kiyone, the limit is 5 words, so I'm not accepting that as a guess.

P: --------

X: ae

[abunaidesu]

oops ^___^

[Angel Blossom]

I'll take a guess.. is there an O in this one?

[Pichu]

Haven't seen you in a while in this game, AB. ^_^

P: --------

X: aeo

[Chris]

I'll have to go for I, then. There's only one other vowel around after this. :tongue:

[RedStarWarrior]

If it is indeed a Pokémon and 8 letters long, then it must contain atleast one a, e, or o, unless it is a plural of a Pokémon. I just went through the whole list of Pokémon and couldn't find one to match your puzzle. Please look again and make sure you haven't made a mistake in spelling or whatnot or inform me if I have skipped over the Pokémon you have chosen when checking the list.

[Rambunctious Jamirus]

Just because I don't have it, may I guess Jumpluff, the cheerleader in Colosseum?

[RedStarWarrior]

Oh, so it doesn't have to be a Pokémon?

When someone guesses the word correctly it is their turn to think of a Pokemon for others to guess.

Maybe the rules should be updated then.

[Rambunctious Jamirus]

Oh, so it doesn't have to be a Pokémon?

Maybe the rules should be updated then.

Jumpluff acts like a cheerleader in Colosseum since it has the "pom-poms."

And yes, there is actually more than one Pokemon that fits the description above. I've found at least three, including Jumpluff.

[shazza]

hey i am just wondering but is there a U

[aragornbird]

Aww...well, everyone makes mistakes. Is there an I?

Ah, see I am just not up to date on all of the Pokémon. I figured that I missed a few.

Sorry! ^^' *walks away whistling* ♪

[Angel Blossom]

I think this Pokemon may be Snubbull. I hope I'm right! ^^;;

[PancaKe]

Hey. I dont know pretty much ANY of the Ruby/Sapphire pokemon, so if its obvious that its one of those and I dont get it, then that is why, okay?

Anyway, I'd like to guess a letter.

What about the letter, S?

And is there anywhere I can see a good pokedex on these Ruby Sapphire pokemon??

~Mist

[Angel Blossom]

And is there anywhere I can see a good pokedex on these Ruby Sapphire pokemon??

~Mist

A helpful Pokédex

You can look at the names of all the Pokémon on that site. It's quite helpful, in my opinion. ^^;; Sure, it's hard to scroll around while looking for a name, but it'll help you out. Well, I think that it should help you out, anyway!

Thanks to Amy for giving me the URL to that Pokédex, by the way. ^_^

[PancaKe]

Thanks for that dude! Big help! *hugs*Its pretty funky.

~Mist

[Pichu]

I think this Pokemon may be Snubbull. I hope I'm right! ^^;;

Indeed... *hands over the pinky plushie*

Your turn

[Angel Blossom]

Yay, I won the plushie.

My guess is the letter 'E'.

[PancaKe]

Can I guess the letter A?

Thanks dude!

~Mist

[Pichu]

Oh okay then, I shall guess an U

[Angel Blossom]

Sorry, none of those guesses were correct! ^^;; Keep trying.

*points it out* This would be my 3,900th post! :rolleyes2 :grinblah:
I'm a really big dork, if you have yet to notice that. ^_^;;

[shazza]

Why did you use my Snubull again

Anyway, hey i am just wondering but is there an O

[Angel Blossom]

Good job, Shaz! ^_~
Aww, come on guys, this is an easy one! Just keep guessing! ^^;;

Well it IS!

Lol, yep Shaz.. ^^;
*hands over the plushie*
Now it's your turn!

[Jay]

Why was I hired here again? O_o;; *resigns* Was I drunk.

Yeah I don't think I should have the position considering I'm not going to be that dedicated to TPM anymore. Sorry.

[Angel Blossom]

Hm.. I wonder where Shazza is. He usually posts everyday, so it's weird that he hasn't posted his Hangman round yet. If he doesn't show up soon, will someone else have to take over? I'm just curious, since I don't remember the rules much. ^_^;;

[Jay]

Since I'm 'currently' a worker, I'll give you permission to do another if you want seeing as though I can't be stuffed. :x lol

It's been over 24 hours, so workers usually do one if someone hasn't posted the puzzle after 24h, but I'll give you the okie.

[Angel Blossom]

Okay.. ^_^
