Boggle: The Game! (Season 2 Signups!)

Now making its return to Mish Mash, it's time for...

Image

You guessed it right...Boggle!


General Rules:
1: Play to have fun, and to win.
2: All results are final, but if you think I've made a mistake feel free to correct me.
3: You may not use any Internet sources to find words except those used for this game.
4: We will be operating using the Merriam Webster dictionary as found online at m-w.com.
5: Do not edit any posts containing submissions. Any post that is edited at all will have every word in it voided.
6: Don't abuse any rules, if you think it's questionable to do something, than either don't do it or just ask.

Game-Specific Rules:
1: All answers will be posted through a private topic that will be assigned to you. Only you and I will have access to it.
2: Each round will last 72 hours, and tabulation afterward will be posted within 24 hours. During each round, once and once only, you will click on the Google Form. Once the form is submitted with your name, you will have exactly ten minutes (I can see exactly) to post in the private topic your submissions.
3: All submissions must be in before the 10 minutes (exactly, both the Google Form and the PT will show me a time) have elapsed. Any submissions after that will not be counted.
4: You are submitting any words that can be found by moving through the board that is posted, from letter to letter vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. Letters can be repeated if gone through twice. For example, if you have the letters A-S-K, you can spell "ASKS" but you cannot spell "ASS" only given those three letters.
5: Words will be scored on the scale below:
Spoiler:
2-letter or 3-letter words: 0 points, cannot be submitted
4-letter words: 2 points
5-letter words: 4 points
6-letter words: 8 points
7-letter words: 12 points
Longer than 7 letters: 20 points

Game Format:
1: Each round, every player still in the competition will compete in one puzzle.
2: Based on the amount of people participating, a certain amount of players with the lowest scores (or who don't submit) will be eliminated: this number will be announced when the round begins.
3: The last round will always be between two players (barring issues caused by non-submissions), and the player with the highest score in this round will be the winner of the game.

Signups will be up until Friday night, at which time the first round will begin!

Champions:
Season 1: Chevre
Season 2: ???

Season 2 Players:
Papi Bear
RedCoyote
Cheery Dog
Aronis
Chevre

Now I can harass D3f3nd3r for being a slow mod. :twisted:

Btw, will the google form have a visible timer on it?

Probably not, chances are the post with it will have the deadline there too though.

Well I'm going to have a decent amount of work to do, so I should just be within the allotted 24 hours?

I apologize if certain words are misspelled. My sister got too liberal with liquid drinks near the laptop.

I am confused. Rule 2 says within ten minutes, but Rule 3 says within 15 minutes. Which is it? (Or am I epically dense and those are two separate things?)

I think it's supposed to be 15 minutes for both rules but I'm sure the mod will clarify.

I've had to add some hidden spaces before "afterward" in rule two, but I've found "play". (it existing as a word in the general rules is no fun and ruins this post))

It's ten minutes. It was going to be 15, but I changed it to 10 in one place and forgot to in the other.

Okay, I checked with the mods and we will be operating with Private Topics. Also, modified the scoring amounts.

All people who have already signed up have been assigned a Private Topic. If anybody is having trouble accessing theirs (They're locked intentionally), just poke me.

Or you can just submit, because I will end the round early if everybody submits and nobody is opposed.
