The Forbidden Letter Game

[antiaircraft]

B:

 

Several violations of this word game's rules have occurred in the last few posts.

[Seliphra]

C:

It is a possibility that you are, indeed, right in this statement

[antiaircraft]

D:

 

I concur with your assessment of the probability of my statement's correctness.

[livvy]

E:

 

I too concur, but do not think judging your own words is fair. Too much room for bias.

 

(Did I do it? This symbol is difficult to avoid... :worried: I did! Yay!)

[antiaircraft]

F:

 

I hereby congratulate Livvy on out-matching the most common letter in the English language! :D

[Seliphra]

G:

Indeed, that was a job well done, and a difficult one at that!

[Parry]

H:

 

It does not seem like it, but it is difficult to avoid a word like so once you are trying to do so.

[antiaircraft]

I:

 

And here we have me and another vowel head-to-head - there's no way to tell who'll come out ahead!

[livvy]

J:

 

Well done, Theo! I too applaud you on your (er, is there a word for "word-related?") feat!

[Seliphra]

K:

Indeed I do not understand how you managed to defeat vowels with such ease!

[livvy]

L:

 

With much effort and frequent use of the backspace key. :yes:

[Seliphra]

M:

I see, it is understandable then that avoiding a vowel is a difficult task indeed

[livvy]

N:

 

Yes, vowels are very difficult to avoid, as are various other letters.

[Seliphra]

O:

It is my turn then, as it is a shame if few had the chance at it.

[livvy]

P:

 

Seli, why must you have a name I can't use in it's entirety? :P

 

Anywho: I would love to continue this game with you, but I must work on a college essay.

[Seliphra]

Q:

 

Very well...and my name is my own creation (I invented it *evil laughter*) And looky at this! <---still none of my forbidden letters...this one is too easy...

[Parry]

R:

 

Fantastic, this is not easy to avoid, nay? Still, it's not as if I have to avoid a vowel though, yes?

[Seliphra]

S:

Indeed Nom Nom Nom...a vowel can be difficult to avoid. The letter which I need to avoid can be hard too...

[antiaircraft]

T:

 

Curses! I've barely missed snagging myself one more vowel! I like doing vowels. :(

[livvy]

U:

 

This vowel is too easy, Theo. Little is missed in the way of a challenge.

[antiaircraft]

V:

 

The broken-ness of this Mono dependency generation algorithm is really starting to get me down - I wish there was some documentation on the changes made to the algorithm between branches.

[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 ).
