Countdown Scattergories V
Here is the fifth instalment of the Countdown Scattergories game. Below are 10 word rounds and for each round you are to find a word of a specific length. The idea is to come up with a word, that you think will be the least mentioned by the other players. For each round, there are now only 7 possible answers (well hopefully ).
R01: C O I F E D B A D - 6 Letter Word
R02: C A S I N O S E T - 8 Letter Word
R03: S A I N T M O D E - 8 Letter Word
R04: A L S O M I M E D - 7 Letter Word
R05: P I E Z O H A N G - 6 Letter Word
R06: F I X W E A P O N - 5 Letter Word
R07: O A T H S I R E N - 8 Letter Word
R08: T O R E N I N J A - 7 Letter Word
R09: S A V O Y P I K E - 6 Letter Word
R10: O I L M E N Q A T - 7 Letter Word
How To Enter
Please PM me with your answers for each round . You can do this by viewing my Profile and clicking on the PM icon, to send me a private message .
Rules
1. Check that your words are allowed before submitting your entry. The best way to do this (because not everyone will have an OED2r) is to use the Stemmer feature on Apterous. To use the feature, just type in your word but leaving out one letter (eg if word was APTEROUS, type in APTEROU etc) and then it should come up below.
2. Check that your words match the required length for each round before submitting.
3. Check that your words match the selection for each round before submitting.
4. Check that you have spelt your words correctly before submitting.
5. If your word breaks any of the rules above (1 - 4), then you will be allowed to come up with a second word for the round, however, you will then only score half the points for the word (Eg if in Game 1, Round 1 you came up with HEARING, which is too short and then after being allowed to guess again, you then said CHEATING, you would then have only scored 3.5 points). If you have to come up with a second word, but don't submit it in the time limit, you will get no points for the round.
6. Once you have submitted a word that is acceptable for the round, you can not change your answer.
7. Once you have submitted an entry, you are not allowed to delete it before I have read it. If this happens, you will be allowed to have another go, but your OVERALL SCORE at the end, will be halved.
Scoring
Each word is scored depending on the number of times that it has been mentioned. If a word is only mentioned once, then it will get 10 points, a word mentioned twice will get 9 points and so on down to 0 points for words mentioned more than 10 times. In instances where you have to submit a second word, you will then only score half the points for the word (see rule 5). If you have to come up with a second word, but don't submit it in the time limit, you will get no points for the round.
Time Limit
The competition will close on Friday 23rd January at 10 PM (22:00)
All entries received after the closing date and time, will not be counted.
R01: C O I F E D B A D - 6 Letter Word
R02: C A S I N O S E T - 8 Letter Word
R03: S A I N T M O D E - 8 Letter Word
R04: A L S O M I M E D - 7 Letter Word
R05: P I E Z O H A N G - 6 Letter Word
R06: F I X W E A P O N - 5 Letter Word
R07: O A T H S I R E N - 8 Letter Word
R08: T O R E N I N J A - 7 Letter Word
R09: S A V O Y P I K E - 6 Letter Word
R10: O I L M E N Q A T - 7 Letter Word

Re: Countdown Scattergories V
Thanks for the competition, Joseph. When looking at the results I thought you'd forgotten my entry; I always start by reading from the bottom as it's usually a lot quicker. Definitely not used to the dizzy heights above the half-way mark.
If you're going to continue this I'll try to enter an even numbered competition for the first time.
And well done Stewart and Dinos.

I normally reply by PM so you know that I have recieved your answers and also incase I need to point any disallowed words etc I think there will definitely be another game without a doubt , but I'm not sure what you mean by:

Re: Countdown Scattergories V
Epic win!!!!! Wont reveal my strategem yet. Will see if it prevails next time. Although it looks like my decision to go for TRANNIE due to the lol factor sealed the win! Also I bet Joseph that Kirk would pick TELAMON but I picked it anyway! I know him that well!

Re: Countdown Scattergories V
If there are any mor of these, we'll have to create a new Scattergories sub-forum.
I am absolutely mad that Scrabble was the reason I didn't win (I had NARTJIE, which is valid in Scrabble, disallowed as I didn't have access to the stemmer).

Joseph, if you plan to run a game per week for the foreseeable future you might prefer to change to a more manageable numbering system. Or are you preparing us for a new-style numbers game - all working to be shown in Roman numerals?Joseph Bolas wrote:Just a note to all that Countdown Scattergories VI will be posted at around midnight tonight
