GnarlyBagel Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 So this is pretty simple mostly like regular hangman we all love. How to Play The object of this game is pretty basic. All you have to do is solve a word puzzle by guessing the letters that are in it. The puzzles will range from one word to several words long. Each puzzle will have a category with it, such as Place, Movie Title, Quote, etc. Some puzzles may be neopets-related. Please keep this category in mind when guessing letters or trying to solve the puzzle. After the word puzzle is posted, you have the chance to guess a letter. In your post, you must put one, and only one, letter. After a while, if you think you know the solution to the puzzle, you may post it instead of a letter. A couple times per day, I will post the puzzle with any correctly guessed letters, along with people scores and number of strikes (more on those below). In between the times I post, you may only post once with a letter, no more. After I reveal some of the puzzle/scores/strikes, you can guess another letter. Scoring There are several ways to score points in this game. Each one will gain you points; you will never lose points. If you guess a letter that is in the puzzle, you will get 1 point times the number of times the letter appears in the puzzle added to your score. For example, if you guess a letter that appears in the puzzle 3 times, you will get 3 points. If you correctly guess the solution to the puzzle, you will get 5 points added to your score. Strikes Certain things you do in the game will cost you a strike. The ways to get a strike are: - guessing a letter that is not in the puzzle - guessing a letter that has already been guessed by you or someone else - posting twice between times I update the puzzle - incorrectly solving the puzzle Be careful, though, because if you get two strikes, you're out. In other words, you cannot participate anymore in the puzzle. After the puzzle is solved and a new one begins, all your strikes disappear and you can resume playing. Note: If someone gets ninja'd by someone else (meaning they posted at the same time on the clock) and both people posted the same letter, then the person whose post came first gets the points. The one who posted after will NOT get a strike for posting an already-guessed letter, but are encouraged to edit they're answer, as they'll get no points. Special Rounds For certain puzzles, I will add things that can get you extra points! A few of these are as follows: Red Letters: Certain letters in a puzzle will be red-colored. If you can unscramble the letters to make a new word after solving the puzzle, you will get 2 extra points added to your score. Mystery Word: The puzzle will contain 2-3 phrases that begin with the same word. This word will be given by a "?" If you can guess this word, you will get 3 extra points added to your score. Double Play: Normal play occurs here, but all points are doubled. Solving a puzzle gives you 10 points, and points for letters are the number of letters times 2 (for example, a letter that appears three times will be worth 6 points instead of 3 points). Good Luck! ~~~~~ Puzzle 1 Special Date in Time (don't guess numbers until the word part is solved) ## _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ #### _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
