Hi Sarah! I might be MIA this weekend, but I promise I'll be back on Monday :) I've never played this game before, so I'll probably have many, many questions. Apologies in advance!

Lol this might have helped us 😂 maybe we should mix things up in the upcoming rounds 🤔😉

Yes, that works :)

The book you read for round 2 has to match this week’s theme. You also pick up to 5 new nouns (nothing will be carried over from the previous round). A different adjective will be announced on Wednesday, and you’d have to pick the best fitting noun by Friday. This will repeat every round.

There would be two winners every round (three if there’s a tie), first place gets 10 points and second place gets 5. The mods will pick a winner by Sunday for each round.

Hope that answers your question :)

Yes it does :)

E.g. I like dainty muffins or dainty devil. :-)"

LOL I was wondering the exact same thing 😂 We have our work cut out for us!

Thanks for letting me know :)

Yeah lol! I see you added two new nouns, but those won’t be considered since they were entered after the deadline. However, your final pick is from your initial set, so you’re good 😊

I've done it for you :)

Submissions for round one are closed :)

Adjective for this week - "Dainty"

You have until Nov 6th 3 PM Eastern to submit your final pick! Please post in this thread. If you can update the tracking sheet, it would be much appreciated!

No, the word you pick must fit in context. The usage of word must be as a noun. For example, "American" will be allowed by itself but if the tag is "American food", you can use "food" but not "American" or "American food".

In this case, you can use "specialist" but not "security specialist" or "security".

Julianne, Samurai short sword doesn't qualify. You can use short sword or switch it. Let me know if you change the word :) Thanks!

Jessi, Russian Agent doesn't qualify - you can use agent if you'd like. Let me know if you end up changing it, so I can update the tracking sheet. Thanks!

It’ll be random

Just the noun :)
