BANANA?

j/k; for real: A

Well that was a low-percentage guess.

How so? There were 6 words with it; I didn't go to the trouble to test many otehr letters but I doubt there were many that had as many or more words.

why? do these letters offend you?

this is a game

game = fun??? or do you have some other definition

personally I like to play this game with my 10 year old son, my 6 year old neice and my 5 year old nephew

they love to watch the words and choose the letters - ever hopeful they can help save the man from hanging

I get a great deal of enjoyment watching their reactions when the letter is pronounced right or wrong

maybe our way of playing this game upsets you - in the words of a 6 year old - so sad, too bad

this is a game afterall and as the rules allow for us to put forward letters in the English alphabet we will continue to enjoy

and the best bit - these three children have won a few of the games

so chill out a tad - and have a great day

ahh it is all good

[joncha]

Yes... you'll note that you had just as much success with your letter.

[Paddy]

ahh well these things happen

no offense is intended when we choose a letter

yet some here are very serious hangman players

it would be great to see them in amongst some of the civIII pbem tournaments - we could use that passion - really good value when sending hordes of Japanese Samurai down amongst Greek Hoplites

I'm not sure what qualifies you to be a serious Hangman player.

Lots of posts perhaps?

Congratulations to the team "cheating" on behalf of Paddy for their success - he wouldn't have guessed any without your help you know.

I sympathise with Civman's comment. I just don't think guessing low percentage guesses is being a good team player. It's not fun when done repeatedly........in fact I find it a little annoying. Think of the man with his neck in the noose!

If we a S, R, T we get flamed, if we guess L or J we get flamed..
