Onamography - Strictly for the creative ones #190318 04/07/10 05:59 PM 04/07/10 05:59 PM Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 18 O Onamography OP stranger Onamography   OP stranger O Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 18 Onamography is a new language-based puzzle concept that made its debut in a top-selling Australian newspaper. It's a writing style that creatively incorporates Proper Nouns (company names, celebrities etc) in regular English sentences. Here's a sentence (it's called an onnicle) to illustrate the concept: Gargling is the best utility for an untrained throat. It's got the names Anu and Stuti Garg (AWAD's first family) embedded in it. Anu --> an untrained Stuti --> best utility Garg --> Gargling Solving and creating onnicles requires a combination of creativity, pattern recognition skills, wit, language skills and general knowledge. Here's another one for you to solve: Onnicle: The man at the bar acknowledged that he found the job amateurish. OnniClue: Top post When you solve an onnicle, don't just stop there. Keep the thread going by creating another onnicle with some other personality's name in it.

I was hoping to find creative folks on this thread who could pick up the concept quickly and hit the ground running. You guys have more than surpassed my expectations. Hope more creative souls join the tribe. If you are looking for bigger challenges, try out the Onnicle Challenge 5. Also hoping to build up the fan base on Facebook. A little support from the AWAD fans out here would be nice. The onnicle posted by Faldage is still up for grabs. www.onamography.com Support us here --> Facebook Re: Onamography - Strictly for the creative ones [Re: Faldage] #190332 04/08/10 11:57 AM 04/08/10 11:57 AM Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 876 western NY twosleepy old hand twosleepy   old hand Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 876 western NY Originally Posted By: Faldage Onnicle: She's a rah-rah girl, trying to be your pal intent on rousing the rabble.
