Game: Lingo 9 (MA)

[Zak]

Time for a new version...

For those who don't know, this game is like Mastermind, except with words and a given number of letters. One guess at a time before the person with the word posts.

Lady Vulpix: 64
Zak: 57
Whiteangel: 1
Gamewizard007: 1
HanyouPrincess: 1
Jay: 26

Okay, Gabi (Lady Vulpix) got the last word, so its her turn and she told me she is doing a 7 letter word. So guess away.

[Lady Vulpix]

O_O Pokemon Hangman? x_x I forgot about it. Sorry. That will teach me never to post a guess when I'm in a hurry. I'll get there right now.

Pummelo

~Zak

[titandude21]

this isn't the word, but I'll see what nurture gives me

[Lady Vulpix]

pummelo: 1 right, 6 wrong.
nurture: 1 right, 2 misplaced, 4 wrong. Closest guess so far!

[dark_tyranitar]

Um... Turning?

[titandude21]

theater isn't the word, but i'll see what letters that gives

[Pichu]

2 midterms down, one to go! xD

zeniths: 1 right, 1 misplaced, 5 wrong.

[dark_tyranitar]

Let's go with returns.

[Lady Vulpix]

*Returns to this topic.*

returns: 1 right, 2 misplaced, 4 wrong.

No one's got closer than this yet.

[dark_tyranitar]

In that case, we'll try "turners".

[titandude21]

i'll try seclude

[Lady Vulpix]

turners: 1 right, 2 misplaced, 4 wrong.
seclude: 2 misplaced, 5 wrong.

[Pichu]

riotour

[Lady Vulpix]

riotour: 2 misplaced, 5 wrong.

[Zak]

Myuutsu can help... that's Mewtwo's name in Japanese.

~Zak

[Lady Vulpix]

Ok, I'll let it pass, though I'm not sure I should.

myuutsu: 4 right, 1 misplaced, 2 wrong.

[Zak]

Well, IMO names of anything should be allowed, the limit being as long as it isn't a word you made up, or at least is a word that SOME people have heard of. People have guessed people names, and Pokemon names, and place names, and other proper nouns. I wouldn't reccomend using it as THE word, but its not really that bad. But for guesses, their perfectly acceptable... so I guess they can be acceptable for THE word. Preferrably not, though... but if you're confident, go ahead.

Jujutsu is my next guess.

~Zak

[Lady Vulpix]

Alright, Zak. As long as it doesn't get out of control (anyone can make up a word and claim someone has heard it, even more so with words in other languages).

And yes, that's the word. *Hands Zak a Jujutsu Plushie.* Congratulations!

[Zak]

Okay, 9 letters this time.

~Zak

[dark_tyranitar]

Geez, 9 letters? Well, I'll start this off with a Pokemon name, Crawdaunt

[Zak]

~R-M-W~

Crawdaunt: 0-2-7

~Zak

[dark_tyranitar]

Hmmm... can you say "Azumarill"?

[Zak]

I can say it, sure.

Azumarill: 0-1-8

~Zak

[dark_tyranitar]

This game is exempt from the 5 posts per day rule, right?

Anyway, how about "Tyranitar"

[Lady Vulpix]

And I'll try payphones to start.

[Zak]

Yes, it is... but please don't use that to your advantage by making random Pokemon guesses. The reason it was exempt was because it involves thinking, and the last thing we need is someone who will abuse that. So I hope you're guessing that as a way to help, rather than just for postcount.

Tyranitar: 0-2-7

Payphones: 1-3-5

EDIT: Missed Gabi's post, closest guess so far.

~Zak

[dark_tyranitar]

They were random guesses, I agree, but I was trying to get some information out of them. My guess is "artifacts". Sorry if I'm being a complete moron.

[Zak]

Okay, no problem. Although I can't really have proof of that 'till at least about 7 guesses are made, where there would be enough information to think and do deduction rather than guess random words. But since its the beginning, I'll let it slide. Heck, random guesses could even be good at the beginning at times, since they are likely to bring clues . But once we're deep into a round, I'd prefer if some thought was put into the guesses.

Artifacts: 0-2-7
