Yeah, what the hell. And for what it's worth, my feeling is that the recipient should be completely anonymous - no hints of any sort, unless it proves too difficult for the participants.
Well, I'm not sure that I make enough posts at the moment to count but, seeing as though it sounds as though the whole thing is my fault ;-) you'd best count me in too!
BTW, mav.... you will tell us when the game has begun, won't you?

What an excellent word game---even though I am new to this forum---I would like to try it---sounds like fun.

Ok me too, now I've read the last 300 posts!
I got lost 'round about Rule 4 ... but I would follow it with great interest ... if I knew where to go look for the "answers" as they progress ... how do we find out what the selected word was after it is guessed and when a new word is in play?
I will be sitting in the cheering section... just let me know when to Hip Hip Hurrah!
wow
OP Rule 4 ...
OK, looks like we could give it a try. Consensus seems to be to try it completely anonymously at least to begin with. The idea of the 50% scoring thing was to deter someone from setting a word like 'aardvaark', which might be too easy to guess even in our conversations!
Yes, I think the word, when guessed, would be announced here by the poser of the question, together with a tally of the number of times the candidate reckoned to have slipped it into use. Then the parcel would change hands.
It might be easier if I suggested clearer names for the pair of active participants in play - say, Poser and Poster? So as each Poster is rumbled, the Poser announces the result; then the Poster becomes the new Poser, sending privately a new word to whoever had successfully guessed the last one; and announces that the parcel has been passed... then in due course, announces that someone has mailed them a private note successfully guessing the word and identity of the Poster...
Clear (as mud!)? Good; I'll post a separate message to keep the active position clearly flagged.
OP The fox is loose...
Don't forget: only the two sections of Misc and Wordplay are fair game!
Deal me in.

Seems to me that you don't need to sign people up to play unless they want to be the Poster. Anyone else should just be able to jump in and guess the mystery word.
