OK! I figured out the point policy, and even I lose/gain more points off it, I´ll correct your count:





Right letters are not rewarded at all, my confusion might have confunded you, too? Rules might be wicked, but there are rules, I see ...

I doubt there will be much pluses, then This is an intelligent Hangman: you have to study it before guessing the whole words Or right after it

An R please.


But the thing is, I've noticed that I've been getting rewarded points for guessing correct letters. Why is this so difficult? Why can't it just be, -1 for correct guesses, +1 for wrong ones? It'd eliminate the dire confusion that we have.

T please!
*And I agree! ^^

Really? I didn´t notice.


*runs off to check*

*comes back, since she doesn´t have the whole eve to re-read the whole thread through*

Well, at least you got -7 from Zell when you guessed right and she ought to have got -7 and you only -3. She took only -3 to herself instead as you can see here... Does Taxus want to check the points, since he´s the one who brought this here?

And I disagree with you both. I think this way this is more similar to the real world hangman, where you might get - hanged? - for wrong answers. It´s been so long since I last played it that I don´t quite remember the rules, though. But I´m sure we will all get used to this, it will only take some time. What would confuse the most, would be the constantly changing rules Should we try that ...

Really? Oh sorry, but you must´ve posted during my writing that last post. I´m no secretary, you see, especially if I have to think simultaneously But you are not concentrating now, Maya! Three right answers in a row

And as I said somewhere, everyone makes mistakes. I don´t necessarily notice posts sent after I´ve arrived, and I even forget to take points off for wrong letters. DracosTheBest made their first wrong guess, I guess?

I wonder what would happen, if I would have to also remember to give + points for every right letter? That´s what I would call complicated ...

Might have been guessing only right, then?

Tut, tut! Right that one, too ... No L´s in the first word, though ....

I don't really get the rules. Anyways, what about a 'v'?

Crap, I have the last two words but not the first. My guess has been moved to my next post because I have a tendency to overlook things.


My brain has been eased by my own cyclical babbling (which was in this post and one in the chat thread but they've been edited to suit my moments). Game on!

There's already an R in there - really there is! Anyway, can I guess a d? I have no problems understanding the points here....but that's simply because I don't try to understand it....much like Severus....I don't try to understand him at all, and that way, I understand him even better! (Don't ask!)

Ok, dur. See what happens when I think too much? What the deuce is the first word? Grrr...I'll just go with a B.

The right answer was Piercing black eyes. Too difficult? I bet if you´d been a tad more patient (I still don´t have a computer home) and not posted so many letters when there was only 3 guesses left, someone would´ve guessed it after Maya´s last guess. There´s even one guess too many, but I understand tatewin didn´t want to spoil and posted a letter and blah blah, and will not get punished even though is a Gryffindor and even though it is not the players task to take care of each other´s wrong answers ... I also understand Sissa wanted to guess anyway. who put that babbling bewerage to my juice?

I wouldn´t want to host an other round, since I´m quite busy this week, but it seems I´ll have to. To make one of the rules perhaps clearer, if not for anything else. Up there is the points as they are at the moment (the non-checked version), and down there after this manoeuvre (wish my brain luck )

I´m really glad if you´ll check the points, Taxus. I think you´d better check also what I´ve done now, since this is the most complicated manouvre.

Now I will have to think before posting the next round. I´ll make a new post for clarity, since this one is infernally long.

Piercing black eyes?

Yes, Evy is right. Or could we say Maya and Evy co-operated in post-guessing? *runs off to edit the coughforgottencough right answer to the relevant post* didn´t surely leave it out on purpose for awhile to see whether ir really was too difficult Who? Me?

I hope this one is easier, only two words, see?
