    Hangman Rules, History and Standings

    Rules
    • 1. A maximum of 9 incorrect guesses.
    • 2. Updates must be posted within 24 hours of each other, and will occur in sets of 2, except for the final 2 guesses, which will be updated individually. An update must also occur after each word guess.
    • 3. Any letters guessed after the conditions for an update set out in rule 2 have been met, but before the actual update, will be ignored, and will not carry over to the next set of guesses.
    • 4. You can only pick one letter for every two consecutive sets of guesses.
    • 5. Guesses cannot be changed after being posted.
    • 6. You can guess the word at any time, subject to the qualification in rule 7, but guessing incorrectly eliminates you from play.
    • 7. If you make a letter guess you may not make a word guess before an update has occured. The converse also applies as a consequence of rule 2.
    • 8. Incorrect word guesses also count as losing a life.
    • 9. Words must be 5 or more letters. If the word is exactly 5 letters and the last letter is S, the first four letters must not make a standard english word.
    • 10. Words must be standard english, and cannot be proper nouns.

        I don't mind occasionally updating a list. It's not that much work.

            joncha, there's already two guesses.

              And what, pray tell, would those two guesses be?

                Indeed, there is only 1 guess at the moment, that being Joncha's. I updated in post 2 of this thread.

                    Excellent Nothing's worse than logging in right before work (and my work has limited internet access that does NOT include apolyton.net) just to update a FG than to find nobody freaking GUESSING

                          Yes, there is: logging in right before work to play my PBEM turn, only to find nothing because snoopy is busy playing hangman instead!!

                            You can refine the decimal points in the corruption calculations whilst you wait.
