The Forbidden Letter Game

[Seliphra]

W:

Must I get the easy letters all the time? Can I not get something more...difficult?

[antiaircraft]

X:

 

I will make an attempt to reserve one or two vowels for you. ;)

[livvy]

Y:

 

Theo, I did not understand a WORD of the v-avoidance post.

[antiaircraft]

Z:

 

I will attempt to explain. :yes: Remember that video where I was building an RPM package? Well, I was trying to build several packages when I wrote that post. Some packages require other packages to work properly, so the build process has an algorithm that identifies the other packages that will be needed ('dependencies') and includes a list of them in the package being built. Unfortunately, this algorithm wasn't working properly in my build environment (Fedora 13), yet build logs I was able to find indicate that it worked just fine in the official build environment (Fedora 14). I eventually gave up - I can try again once I've updated my system to Fedora 14 (well actually, I can just use the official builds then :P ).

A:

Hey look! I got the vowel this time! But it's not very difficult either...

[antiaircraft]

B:

 

This game is much more difficult when you set your sights on conveying a particular message, then construct your sentence around that. :yes:

[Seliphra]

C:

Understandably so, but then should we not make a theme for us all to attempt at saying? Like say, something about ...I don't know, animals?

[antiaircraft]

D:

 

Ostriches are capable of sprinting at 70 kilometres per hour. They can also run at 50 kilometres per hour for longer stretches. Also, the following letter is the most common in the English language.

[Seliphra]

E:

I know it is. Man, I finally got a hard thing to avoid! I am so happy right now! Also:

a bird known as a Cassowary can kill a man with razor sharp talons

I did it! :graduated:

[antiaircraft]

F:

 

A most hearty congratulations to you! :D Istiophorus platypterus is the speediest known water animal in the world, topping out at over 110 kilometres per hour in short bursts. Us humans hit max at a measly 8.2 kilometres per hour.

[jumpingbeans]

G:

Wow! Humans probably could go faster in a boat, I think.

[antiaircraft]

:O! That sneaky G slipped past our defences!

 

G:

 

As a matter of fact, the fastest submarine that we've ever built (the Soviet Papa K-162) only reached a record speed of about 82.8 km/h.

[Luciana]

H:

Am I playing correctly? I'm not experienced in following instructions.

[antiaircraft]

I:

 

You appear to have grasped these ones very well Vantas - have fun!

[The Score in Blue]

J:

Random Invisible Guy didn't realise that [insert name of person who changed their name to a Neopets game title] G was used above him.

So we have a letter repeat.

[antiaircraft]

K:

 

As a matter of fact, I did notice - that's why we have a letter repeat. :P

[Seliphra]

L:

Are we not doing random facts any more? That was so much fun too!! Okay, I am going to anyways!

The brain is the one organ that has no sensation when cut

[The Score in Blue]

M:

 

I have no facts to insert here.

[antiaircraft]

M:

 

At least ten words are required in each post on this topic.

[jumpingbeans]

N:

I have used my letter multiple times, but I shall verify first!

[antiaircraft]

O:

 

Well this is a particularly interesting letter, in that identifying its kind requires breaking the game's rules.

[Tyler.]

P:

Why is every conversation here about the forbidden letter the member has?

[antiaircraft]

Q:

 

Because TDN's member population is rapidly running short on animal facts. :P

[livvy]

R:

 

Wikipedia is an excellent site when one is low on facts. :D

[antiaircraft]

S:

 

Three oh five in the afternoon - a wonderful time to get a headache, don't you think?
