| Well, I thought why not add another game into the mix, one that everyone knows how to play. Hangman is quick and simple and it should go fast.
Basically you think of a word or a sentence (no longer than 5-8 words) that people can try and guess what the letters are that make up that word or sentence. If you're right than the person marks in the letters and if you're wrong a sequence of body parts is written until it completes a body.
Seeing how this might be difficult to execute, this is how it will go.
First, space out the number of letters needed to figure out the word of sentence: _ _ _ _ _ _
Next, if it helps, spell out the alphabet: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
And for every letter guessed, cross it out. A B C D
For every letter that is wrong, instead of drawing a hangman, write it out:
Head Neck Body Left Leg Right Leg Left Arm Right Arm Sad Face Left Eye Right Eye
So that means 10 wrong guesses and you lose. The person who finishes off the hangman will be the next to create the hangman. So that's all you need for that.
If the sentence maker wins, than they will be allowed to either choose someone to replace them, or continue to play until they lose.
Some Rules!
1. No double posting or guessing twice. 1 letter per post. (I don't care if it's spam honestly) 2. No using sentences that involve gore, sexual suggestions, cursing etc. Keep it clean like I always say 3. Make sure the spelling is CORRECT! Use microsoft word to make sure your word(s) make sense 4. No switching your sentence once you have decided! Cheating is not allowed. 5. Have fun, and good luck

| Yep, A is part of it. I forgot to mention that someone else needs to post before you guess again, it only makes sense x.x | |

| Wait do we just guess what letters go into it then have to decipher what exactly the word is with those letters or as we solve it do you put it into the blanks like:
A _ _ A _ A | |

| Just guess a letter, I will cross it out on the first post, and from now on, my responses will be:
(EXAMPLE):
Yep M is right or No, M is wrong
M _ C H A _ L <--- Currently
Head, Neck <--- Number of body parts so far ---
For future games, the player will have to be responsible for remembering the letters chosen, unless they want to keep typing out the letters or they keep updating their first post to help keep track of it. It's a bit difficult but considering the limited things we can do, we'll have to make do with it.

| You know, seeing this game being played here now and with such a clean layout, I find myself asking why I never actually created a "Hangman" game on the modern PWO Forums, when I had done it on a previous version - it seems illogical how I could have missed it out. I must say though, this is quite different to how I used to do it, although the differences are hardly worth mentioning - after all, how much can one change of a game who's format is so simplistic in the first place?
You may not realise this but Hangman is quite a common Forum game, and a large number of Forums have some sort of topic for playing the game in, although the method of play can vary wildly. It's a personal interest of mine to see the various rule sets people come up with - for example, some Forums allow only six wrong guesses, some ten, others in between. Some forums allow you to guess the entire word or phrase at any time, some don't. Those that do sometimes count making a guess for the entire word or phrase, and getting it wrong, as automatic game over; others say it just wastes a guess; and some give no penalty at all. And I've very rarely seen a Forum where the puzzle setter actually kept track of guessed letters that were incorrect. It shows even the most basic formats are open to interpretation.
I'll guess an N while I'm here. | |

| I appreciate the kind compliment Jinji. I had almost balked posting because I wanted to make sure that the game goes as smooth possible and that I covered the game as much as possible. I do kind of have an different approach to the game mostly to avoid spamming posts, and one person only dominating the game. I grew up with a sad face as part of the hangman body haha, so that' s a bit different, but anyways appreciate the input, but now on to the game.
N is correct
E _ E _ _ A N T

Now its just a matter of who's the third to post huh | |

| I only just noticed Meme's picture myself, but I see what you did there, lol. Funny thing is I haven't watched any Anime in many years, and there's still quite a few I can recognise straight away, even if I've never seen a single episode of them. Maybe it's 'cos people don't stop talking about certain animes... | |

| Meh, I figured making people guess the letters instead of the word would be better... but I guess not so in that case you can guess the word. In that case, Memieko guessed the word first, she was the one to inquire and knowing that she knew the word was elephant, she wins.
So, I'm handing off the game to Memi to continue | |
