Brittomart Sorry if this is in the wrong section!

I've done this on other forums, and it's worked out pretty well. Based on a category, I'll list 50 names/words, and a player chooses 15 and lists those 15 in the thread. Each day, I'll choose 5 of those words (I'll probably number the words for my reference and use an online random number generator) and list them. The first one to have all 15 chosen is the winner!

And there is a prize! It's not a fabulous prize, but it's a prize!

Is anyone interested?

smetchie | 4034 comments Absolutely! Me! Pick Meeee!!!!!

Now we really have a thread that's a game and not just one that sounds like we're playing a game but is really just about dead celebrities.

smetchie | 4034 comments I like prizes.


message 7: by smetchie (new)

smetchie | 4034 comments Jesus, Barb. Get in!
You'll figure it out as we go along, I'm sure.

Brittomart 1. I list 50 words based on a category. A category could be for example "dead celebrities." Yes, let's use dead celebrities because I think that's what I'm gonna go with. Thanks, Gretchen!
2. From that list of 50 names, you pick 15 and post your 15. The reason why everyone posts their 15 is so just in case someone calls bingo, I can go and check and make sure it's not a false alarm.
3. Each day, I'm gonna post 5 random names. Think of it as the bingo caller shouting out the numbers.
4. The first person to have all of their names "called" is the winner. Then that winner is going to PM me their address, and I will send them a prize.

Or we can do it with everyone sending a winner the prize, I've played it that way too.

I hope that clears things up.

For goodness sake. I'm getting tired of standing around here. What do we do? When? How?

I've got a fork and a bingo dauber ready to go.


message 16: by Brittomart (new)

Brittomart Haha, Sally. I'm about to run out, but when I get back...I think I'm gonna go ahead and post the names. Once everyone has chosen and posted their names, then we can start.

Brittomart I'm sorry, Gretchen. That wasn't my intention. :(

Sally, usually when I play, I keep a Word file that I use to check off my list.


message 43: by smetchie (new)

smetchie | 4034 comments Oh I was TOTALLY 100% joking around. You didn't make me feel like a dumbass. I AM a dumbass. It takes a lot more than that to get my panties in a bunch.
