limited words game

[HAMMER]

In this game the first poster (me) can only post using 1 word. The second new poster can only use two words and so on. Thus, you will have to count the number of posters (NOT the number of posts) to see how many words you are allowed to use. Off the top of the dome, lets play.

[HAMMER]

GO!!!

[Zelda]

go when??

[Gojira]

Does punctuation count?

[HAMMER]

no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[David B]

Yes it does, stop

David B

[HAMMER]

myy

[HAMMER]

game

[Zelda]

is cool

[HAMMER]

Bueller?

[David B]

Hammer loses.

[Zelda]

hammer wins

Im the one using 2 words not you david

[Zelda]

basically hammer can always only post one word, zelda can always only use 2 words,gojira can always only use 3 words ,david can only use 4 words and so on.
its in the order of the person not the posts.

[Garrett]

This game still confuses me. :)

[Zelda]

david lost

[Garrett]

Do our numbers reset now?

[HAMMER]

no!

[Garrett]

Then I am five forever?

[HAMMER]

yes

[HAMMER]

good job dude

[Zelda]

now what?

[Garrett]

Wait - Hammer gave three words!

(doesn't that mean he lost?)

[ofro]

Hammer doesn't understand his own game?

[Brother Daniel]

That would seem to be the implication.

[ofro]

It may be difficult to continue.

[Magdlyn]

I say, she sells seashells by the seashore.

[ofro]

Hopefully punctuations don't count as words?

[Brother Daniel]

I think that has already been established.

[ofro]

Sorry, I didn't pay enough attention.

[Brother Daniel]

I say, she sells seashells by the seashore.
Maybe she sells seashells by the shoestore.

[Garrett]

What are we talking about?

[Zelda]

uh seashells

[HAMMER]

sorry

[HAMMER]

*rules edit*
abbreviations only count as one word. Example:
"I was PWI last night" only counts as five words
smileys are like punctuation, they do NOT count

[Magdlyn]

My cats are Tiki, Edward, Peaches and Jack.

[HAMMER]

meow

[Zelda]

nice kitty

[Garrett]

Edward, hm. I wonder why. :rolleyes:

[Zelda]

snickers outloud

[Magdlyn]

Edward Cathands is named after a Depp character. :p

[HAMMER]

Sparrow!!!

[ofro]

A sparrow in the hand is ....

[HAMMER]

dangerous?

[Brother Daniel]

likely to make a mess on you?

[ofro]

Why is nobody going for nine?

[Brother Daniel]

Your guess is as good as mine.

[Magdlyn]

David Cook's new single is now on youtube!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bUKjhRgsNs

[Garrett]

Edward Cathands is named after a Depp character. :p
Wow, you have many facets. :)

[Zelda]

thats awesome

[HAMMER]

children!!!

[Garrett]

Stop changing the subject, dammit!

[Magdlyn]

children!!!

Hammer is limited in his expression. Ha. Ha.

[HAMMER]

FUNNY

[Magdlyn]

Well, I'm surprised. He couldve said much worse!

[HAMMER]

LOL:)

[Zelda]

poor hammer

[ofro]

I feel sorry for him, too.

[Brother Daniel]

I say he brought this on himself.

[Garrett]

Builder, what have you wrought? :)

[Magdlyn]

How many smilies is Hammer allowed to use?

[Magdlyn]

You can say a lot with a smilie. :swordfight:

[HAMMER]

:thwack: indeed

[Magdlyn]

I believe in attachment parenting and gentle discipline

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/Pagan_dar/kiss.gif

[HAMMER]

I.....:dunno:

[Magdlyn]

That's better. Let's be friends, you silly boy.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/Pagan_dar/smitten.gif

[HAMMER]

Peaches

[Zelda]

No cream?

[Magdlyn]

Peaches


Meaning you're as sweet as my Siamese kitty?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/Pagan_dar/Animals/peach.jpg

[HAMMER]

sure :loveeyes:

[Magdlyn]

Gotta run out the door. See yas later.

[Zelda]

buh bye

[HAMMER]

Zelda :notworthy:

[Zelda]

Thank you

[HAMMER]

bueler?

[Brother Daniel]

Have you voted in the dick poll?

[Untheist]

I am the egg man. I am the walrus.

[Magdlyn]

Have you voted in the dick poll?

No, I haven't. But I've been voted on! :(

[HAMMER]

I am the egg man. I am the walrus.

Welcome!

[Zelda]

so, anyways?

[Magdlyn]

I have 2 rats on my neck. tickles.

[Zelda]

thats cool

[HAMMER]

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious:)

[Brother Daniel]

I have 2 rats on my neck. tickles.
One rat once left a hickey, right?

[Untheist]

I have 2 rats on my neck. tickles.

It's time for you to fire your worthless cats.

[Matty]

ten words for me eh? a strange game for sure.

[ofro]

I don't think it's that strange

[Matty]

well i've never come across a game like this before

[Garrett]

Hammer's one of a kind.

[HAMMER]

Indeed

[Zelda]

you sure?

[HAMMER]

yes

[Zelda]

whatever dude

[Magdlyn]

Hammer and Garrett are two of a kind. :)

[ofro]

Just maybe Hammer is a genius?

[Magdlyn]

Do you know something I don't know, ofro?

[ofro]

Because he started this crazy thread.

[Zelda]

HE'S CRAZY

[Untheist]

There is a thin line between genius and insanity.

[Garrett]

I know that line well.

[Brother Daniel]

You've tried it as a pickup line?

[Zelda]

thats wrong!!

[HAMMER]

*Flattered*

[Oolon Colluphid]

Am I counting right, and so can only use eleven words?

[ofro]

Yes, you are right about that.

[Oolon Colluphid]

That is certainly a relief, I was afraid I had miscounted.

[ofro]

Counting is a skill for life.

[Garrett]

I guess counting is fundamental?

[Oolon Colluphid]

It's the most basic means of ascertaining a number, I find.

[Magdlyn]

*insert joke about being bad at math here*

[ofro]

In order to stay below the

[ofro]

imposed word limit, how about posting

[ofro]

multiple times one after the other?

[Magdlyn]

Oh, I think that's cheating. Bad boy, ofro.

[Oolon Colluphid]

Seems like a good idea, but a temptation I shall avoid.

[Magdlyn]

Says the proud owner of 11 word limit.

[Cath B]

Remember the later you join in the more demanding the mathematics becomes.

[ofro]

Will we have over 20 contributors?

[Cath B]

Time will tell perchance if time enough there be all to reveal.

[Brother Daniel]

I sense the grammar becoming more convoluted.

[Cath B]

It can be hard to write something pithy with lots of words.

[Brother Daniel]

Excuses, excuses.

(Ignore me -- I'm only joking.)

[Cath B]

Aha! So two words joined by an apostrophe only count as one.

[Brother Daniel]

That's the rule I'm following. (Maybe wrong....)

[Oolon Colluphid]

Seems like a good enough rule to me, it's more natural ;)

[ofro]

The whole thread is wonderfully artificial.

[Magdlyn]

Could we make this a support thread? ...j/k

[Oolon Colluphid]

The whole thread is wonderfully artificial.Like nylon, rayon, polyester, lurex, spandex, aramid or acrylic, you mean?

[Tawny]

Possibly, but it could also mean support as in tubigrip, couldn't it?

[Magdlyn]

Maybe this thread is already artificially supportive, hm?

[Tawny]

You could very well be speaking the truth, one can never tell.

[Oolon Colluphid]

Truth will set you free, which is why politicians are expensive.

[Tawny]

All politicians are lying, money grabbing, public ignoring twats are they not?

[Brother Daniel]

Or is that a self fulfilling prophecy?

[Magdlyn]

Just noticed Daniel only has 950 posts. WTF?

[Oolon Colluphid]

But it's not the quantity that counts Magdlyn, it's the quality.

[Oolon Colluphid]

Admittedly his quality is shot to buggery too, but hey ho.

[Magdlyn]

This is true; Daniel's posts are top notch.

[Oolon Colluphid]

It seems that we have different standards of 'quality' then, Mags!

[Magdlyn]

Since when is buggery a bad thing, dear?

[Oolon Colluphid]

Oh, it's just an English phrase meaning completely knackered or hopeless.

[Oolon Colluphid]

Buggery: informally, the work of an entomologist specialising in the hemiptera.

[Brother Daniel]

I ought to post more about Lego.

[Magdlyn]

You're skirting around the usual definition of buggery.

[Tawny]

Lego Rocks, I loved it as a kid and played for ages

[Brother Daniel]

Some old friends still call me "Legoman".

[Brother Daniel]

On TR, that nickname has bad associations. :(

[Brother Daniel]

It would make me resemble a creotard. :(

[Magdlyn]

I ought to post more about Eddie Izzard.

[Magdlyn]

I approve of your serial posting, Daniel... more!

[Brother Daniel]

I hadn't heard of him until recently.

[Magdlyn]

Me either; not til October of 2006, actually.

[Magdlyn]

BTW, his TV series, The Riches, is cancelled. :(

[ofro]

I approve of your serial posting, Daniel... more!

Why can't I do serial posts?

[Oolon Colluphid]

What sort of serial would you like to post about, specifically?

[Magdlyn]

I approve of your serial posting, Daniel... more!

Why can't I do serial posts?


Your serial posts were all one sentence, hypocrite! :rolleyes:

[jess]

Good thing I'm not Scottish, or I would have to wait to join.

[jess]

You know what would be fun? To do this without telling the rules.

[jess]

I am now counting words in every post I make here. Good Grief!

[ofro]

Do you know each poster's number?

[Brother Daniel]

I just noticed: Tawny stole Cath's number...

[HAMMER]

I approve of your serial posting, Daniel... more!

TSK

[jess]

I just noticed: Tawny stole Cath's number...

Does that mean I am using the wrong number? Tell me, I'll change.

[HAMMER]

*Cath 12

Tawny 13...Bad Tawny

Jess 14*

[HAMMER]

Boobies!!

[jess]

So my Scottish dig wasn't needed at all. I guess I'll just deal, then.

[Zelda]

Hammer=boobies

[Brother Daniel]

I didn't understand. Are Scots particularly triskaidekaphobic?

[jess]

I've heard that they are. We'll have to ask James Bannon if that's true.

[Cath B]

Not in my experience though my observation skills are a bit iffy

[Garrett]

I'm compulsively counting words. Shit. :(

[Tawny]

Bad Tawny, Consider me whipped, flogged and thoroughly chastised. Please I beg forgiveness

[Brother Daniel]

As far as I'm concerned, you're forgiven.

[Untheist]

Visited Scotland recently; found people less superstitious than Americans.

[Tawny]

I have some superstitions, saluting magpies that sort of thing, nothing very major.

[jess]

And all the Scots here I know follow the superstition rule to a tee.

[Brother Daniel]

To a golf tee? That sounds Scottish.

[Brother Daniel]

What on earth is the "superstition rule"?

[Tawny]

I have no idea, but I am sure it will be explained soon

[ofro]

I think superstition is for weenies.

[Brother Daniel]

Superstition causes a lifetime of bad luck.

[Magdlyn]

I knock wood when talking about good luck.

[jess]

I'd prefer to be non-superstitious, but then the cards tell me, 'why take chances?'

[ofro]

I knock wood when talking about good luck.

Are you a woodpecker in disguise?

[Magdlyn]

So it seems. I am an irrational woodpecker.

[HAMMER]

As far as I'm concerned, you're forgiven.

Agreed::D

[Untheist]

Can the "superstition rule" be explained in 14 words?

[Untheist]

Second question: Should we be counting numbers as words?

[HAMMER]

Second question: Should we be counting numbers as words?

Noo

[Brother Daniel]

I would have said "yes" to that.

[HAMMER]

I would have said "yes" to that.

Yes?:dunno:

[Brother Daniel]

I think Untheist's post 186 was valid.

[HAMMER]

Ifuckedmyselfinthisgame

*Does that count as one word?*

[Brother Daniel]

You decide. (I suppose that was inevitable.)

[HAMMER]

You decide. (I suppose that was inevitable.)

Inevitable?

[Brother Daniel]

If "186" is unitary, maybe "Ifuckedmyselfinthisgame" is.

[Brother Daniel]

Taking my argument to its logical conclusion...

[HAMMER]

Maybe:dunno:

[Brother Daniel]

At least, one could argue that way.

[Zelda]

yes,Kinda

[Untheist]

Could have written "fourteen" but prefer Associated Press style.

[Garrett]

So Hammer, what's the rule?

[Zelda]

banana split

[HAMMER]

So Hammer, what's the rule?

*If I have to decide, then numbers don't count as long as you type the numbers, NOT the letters that make up the word. EG: 11 = 0 words
Eleven = 1 word
andtypinglikethisandcallingitonewordisillegal

[Garrett]

Bananas, ice-cream, syrup, whipped-cream, nuts-and-a-cherry.

[Tawny]

All to be eaten off one person, or a selection of your favourites?

[Magdlyn]

Bananas, ice-cream, syrup, whipped-cream, nuts-and-a-cherry.

Hyphenated words phrases counting as one word? No.

[Magdlyn]

1) Banana, nuts. 2) Ice cream, whipped cream, a cherry.

[Oolon Colluphid]

"A 99 please."
"Crushed nuts?"
"No I always walk this way."

[Oolon Colluphid]

(99 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/99_Flake) is a noun there, so must count as a word.)

[Oolon Colluphid]

"A 99 please miss."
"Sauce?"
"You've got great tits, you know."

[Magdlyn]

WTF are you on about now, young man?

[Oolon Colluphid]

"Definitions (http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&defl=en&q=define:sauce&sa=X&oi=glossary_definition&ct=title) of sauce on the Web:

behave saucily or impudently towards"

[Magdlyn]

Thanks for the explanation of an unusual usage.

[Oolon Colluphid]

Edited: Nevermind, I see from your post that you now understand.

[Magdlyn]

dodfd ttpm fgbmtds thtoph ptbmt tt thpmt tbm;

[Oolon Colluphid]

Ah, reading from the Necronomicon again are you, Magdlyn? That's dangerous!

[Brother Daniel]

"Is this the lair of Great Cthulhu?"

[Brother Daniel]

That's to the tune of "Chattanooga Choo-choo".

[Magdlyn]

Ah, reading from the Necronomicon again are you, Magdlyn? That's dangerous!


No, that was my edit b/c you edited. :rolleyes:

[Untheist]

"A 99 please."
"Crushed nuts?"
"No I always walk this way."

I 8 99 4 3 and 1/2 days 2 bump up my word limit. I 1!!!!!

[Garrett]

Hyphenated words count as 1. Right?

[Zelda]

Headache material..

[HAMMER]

Hyphenated words count as 1. Right?

Noo

[Zelda]

Advil Please..

[Magdlyn]

Advil and a shoulder massage, b/c you're nice.

[Zelda]

OH,Thanks

[Magdlyn]

Certain ppl could learn a lesson from you.

:)

[HAMMER]

Like?

[Gladrags]

Wow! I’m a bit late to this and to beat it all I’m Scottish.

[Zelda]

Hmm Scottish!!

[Garrett]

... they'll never take our FREEDOM!!

[Garrett]

Fourteen, Hammer. You feel vindicated?

[Zelda]

What Freedom?

[Garrett]

In five words or less?

[Magdlyn]

It's a line from the movie Braveheart, Zelda.

[Magdlyn]

Garrett seems to quote it often, I've noticed.

[Garrett]

It means something. To me.

[Zelda]

It's a line from the movie Braveheart, Zelda.

I Know;)

[Oolon Colluphid]

Braveheart's nothing more than an ignorant Catholic loony bashing the English.

[Oolon Colluphid]

Historical accuracy improvement: add a plasticine dog: 'William Wallace and Gromit'.

[Gladrags]

I just wondered in because I was intrigued by the thread title.. So there.

[Garrett]

^ Wondered? Or wandered?

Or both? :D

[Garrett]

Braveheart's nothing more than an ignorant Catholic loony bashing the English.
The moral: Down With Oppression!

[HAMMER]

I just wondered in because I was intrigued by the thread title.. So there.

*Thank you for playing, but you already lost.*

[HAMMER]

TAFFER

[Garrett]

Post updated poster numbers, hm?

[ofro]

Haven't I already asked about that?

[HAMMER]

Updated poster numbers:

HAMMER-1
Zelda-2
Gojira-3
David B.-4
Garrett-5
Ofro-6
Brother Daniel-7
Magdlyn-8
Untheist-9
Matty-10
Oolon Colluphid-11
Cath B.-12
Tawny-13
Jess-14
Gladrags-15

And the rules are changing,
1=1 word
One=1 word EG:

Here is 1 4 you

And:

Here is one for you

They are both five

[HAMMER]

Bad Tawny, Consider me whipped, flogged and thoroughly chastised. Please I beg forgiveness

Forgiven.

[Zelda]

how funny!!
