I think it'll also be good to get multiple groups going so we can get through it a bit faster

I won't be specific, but whoever was fourth had a play that would force the other team to lose.

I agree with zoraster and STD.

Per word, there are basically only one or two chances to make a difference, and I'm going to say that it's either the third or fourth letter, depending on the first two, which are chosen rather arbitrarily, all things considered.

The game could be fun if played in a room together, or on a game show, but it doesn't lend itself well to this format.

Oh I see from the other thread that this game has already been canned. Great.

So it's like we went from one challenge to five challenges. Sometimes I wonder if it's all a bit too much, like maybe we should have less Clash.

Really? You want less Clash? Because personally, I think we should...

Well less Clash would definitely be a lot less work :P

Oh whoops, I totally missed the bottom part of Xalxe's post :oops: I didn't think you were trying to say anything negative though, it would have been a valid criticism if it were real! We'd rather people feel too involved than not involved at all though :D

I know the game needs active players to progress fast enough, but right now, it's just ridiculous on my end. Every single deadline I've had in the last few rounds were between my bedtime and the time I came back from school.

I just have to say: as a writer, I think that this challenge was
made
for me.
Knowing words is kinda part of my job. :P
(Well, not literal job, hobby/passion, hopeful future job, butstill.)

Very much enjoying the thrill of the strategic fight in finding
just
the right combos to play.

This is a game


If you are not involved in the game or you are not involved in that PORTION of the game, there are places where it's appropriate to post. For example, here in the General Game Discussion. But in games where you are not a participant in some manner you should not post while the game is ongoing in the challenge threads where those challenges are being held.

You would never (I hope) post during the middle of a mafia game if you aren't a player in that game. If you did, you'd likely be banned. The same will hold true here going forward.
This is the only warning that will be issued on this matter
as I have little tolerance for whatever attention grabbing need would possess you to post in a game you were never a participant in, much less a participant in this individual challenge.
