We're bringing you guys back to the days of Scumchat for a classic game that has become a staple of MS Survivor. Someone call Danny Phantom, because we're going ghost.



GAME RULES
  • In Ghost, players take turns saying letters of the alphabet, in an attempt to not spell a word.
  • If you give a letter that completes a word in the English language that is 4 letters or longer, you lose a life; all players start with three lives. If the player that lost a life is still in the game, they begin the following round, otherwise the player after them starts the next round.
  • All players have been split into five games, with a veteran and rookie from each team in each game. The starting player in each game will be determined by dice roll.
  • The first letter given during a round cannot be a letter of the alphabet that was used to start any previous rounds in the game.
  • You cannot provide a letter that makes it impossible for a valid word to be spelled from the existing letters. If it is your turn and you believe the current combination of letters to be invalid, you may challenge the player who gave a letter before you to provide a finished word from the current set of letters. If the player can provide a valid word, the player who challenged them loses a life, but if the player cannot provide a valid word, they lose a life instead. Either way, the player in the turn order directly after the player who made the challenge will begin the next round.
  • No discussion among team members regarding the challenge is allowed during this challenge, even within the public challenge thread.

  • No outside sources are allowed. This includes the internet, dictionaries, spellcheck, or anything that could be used to help you in the challenge.

  • Twelve hours will be given for every player to take a turn. However, once twelve hours have passed, other players on the team of whoever's turn it is are free to give a letter in the place of their teammate. If a player misses two deadlines, they will be moved to the bottom of the draft order should their team win.
  • Once both players on the same team within a game are eliminated, they lose that game. The team that wins at least 3 of the 5 games will be the challenge winners. The draft order for the winning team will go by the following criteria, in order: least number of deadlines missed, most lives remaining at the end of the game, most letters given throughout a game.
  • We will be using Merriam-Webster.com to determine validity of all words. Again, you are not allowed to use outside sources, including Merriam-Webster. Proper nouns such as names or places do not count as words.

Example Round of Play wrote:CC begins the round.

CC gives the letter A.
xof gives the letter L.
CC gives the letter M.
xof gives the letter O.
CC gives the letter S.
xof gives the letter T.

This spells ALMOST, and xof is eliminated from the game.

I love how even the matches are going right now (assuming the OPs are up to date).
Both teams have their captain creaming the other side.
Both teams have a game they're slightly winning/losing.
And the fifth game is currently a tie.

Admittedly, that won't stay true for long, butstill.

Shadoweh replaces zakk in the game as per his request, effective immediately. If you wish to revise your draft list to reflect this, you're welcome to send in a new list.

{Team Awesome}
has now officially won the challenge, and since BPC has already missed enough deadlines to put him at the bottom of the draft order, the challenge is being called off now. Draft will go up shortly.

A flash of steel announces the presence of his quarry.
