Hangman: The Forum Game, 19th edition

[Jonny]

Personally, I have no problems with plurals. I'd like to see them allowed again.

[Ljube]

They are allowed. This is the vote to decide if they are going to be prohibited or not. So far the vote is two each, DrSpike and snoopy against plurals and Jonny and I in favour of them.

[Ljube]

However, I do think that only people with 10 or more points should be allowed to vote in this poll.

[Sparrowhawk]

Which would limit the voting to:

DrSpike           78
joncha            58
Ljube-ljcvetko    29
vovan             24
duke o' york      23
Jonny             21
Paddy the Scot    15
Theben            13
Zopperoni         10

and though neither Theben or Zopperoni are likely to vote, I have no problem with the 7 of you deciding this issue......even though I just missed the cut by a puffy

[joncha]

I vote that plurals stay.

edit: I also vote that anyone above the Kermit_the_Frog mark be allowed to vote.

[Ljube]

Ok, joncha as the founder of this game has the right to choose who will be allowed to vote.

So vote then Sparrow.

[joncha]

Frozzy founded the game, actually.

[vovan]

Well, like I said before, I think plurals = . Then again, I also think that awarding a point for a word that remained unguessed = , so I'm weird like that.

[Tuberski]

How about 2 points for unguessed plurals?



ACK!

Think again I say NO to plurals.

[duke o' york]

Plurals should be all right, but as long as they are not just four letter words with an s on the end, because that's just a way of getting round the rules.

Radii
Quays

Is the game's own legend still around?

[Ljube]

Ok so when are we going to end this vote? When the qualified majority is reached? That would be 11 votes.

Also votes must be simple yes or no, not yes to radii, no to quays. Such vote is not a vote on the issue and will not be counted.

[Ljube]

Also those who vote for the artificial rule to prohibit plurals should also consider whether we should allow other grammatical forms such as past participles, gerunds, past tense irregular forms, third person present forms, etc... And if we forbid say past participles then someone might argue the word is not past participle but adjective actually. This will bring problems, conflicts, arguments and such. And that will reduce fun.

I don't see the reason to introduce new rules when it is well known that the game is more fun if it has fewer rules.
