For those topics one could describe as the forum equivalent of a twinkie. Word games, forum contests and giveaways are all the rage here.

Wow I'm amazed at the wide verity of words you were able to come up with however you used the letters more then once which causes you to get a strike and go to the slammer. don't worry you are not alone and have friends there.
You still get 2 round points for finishing the round before the next round finishes and aspin of the wheel. You land on Electric gormball bonus which gives you 29 points. For 39 points this round

I have a get out of slammer card right? Can I use it?

Wed Feb 16, 2005 3:54 am

I repeated the letters? What do you mean?

All you said was to make as many words as you could out of Happy Valentines. O_o

You may use your card at any time during the game, save it, or sale it for 25 points if anyone wants to buy it from you. And you put it up for bids.

This is what I posted for round 2

Ready or not here it is round: 2

Happy Valentines = What to do?? right down a word using these letters *HAPPY VALENTINES* You must think of a NEW word and cannot putdown a word that has already been used so be sure to doubble check or it will cost you a strike.

I then posted: sirclucky wrote:

Happy Valentines

You can unscrammble the letters to make different words out of those letters.

***The rules did not specify how many words you can make therefore the strike has been lifted from Neopets Addict. Both Neopets Addict and zega will get an extra spin on the wheel and zega will get an extra 50 point bonus.

Neopets Addict walks up to the wheel awiating his fate. Hit's Bulls eye and gets 50 points added to his points which gives him 64 points.

Zega with her 50 point bonus now has 89 points spins the wheel and gets
Trading spaces you may trade places with anyone's scores who has posted above you or chose to give up your card and keep your score. You must let me know if you want to trade places before the next round begines or you will loose it.

Wow you were sure busy. I agree I love playing those word games to. You get 2 points for finishing the round in time. Sorry to say I was not able to find some words *were not in web dictionary. Therefore I will have to give you a strike. *spins wheel* Try AGAIN You get to keep your points but have to come up with a new word before going on to the next round. (I hope you saved a good word best for last) good luck!!!

Your strike was unfounded.

Some words I use are not inside most dictionaries and I am certain you have not exhausted all available resources,
which are almost endless, including looking up specific words in web searches.

Should the strike not be lifted due to my opinion of unimaginative and unresourceful abuse of power, I will leave the contest.

Considering my strike, a certain word came to mind in my frustrated studies...

Listens to lionheartwitty roar like a lion. A king of the forest he is. I did search the web for words we have no dictionary. Awards him 2 more round points 10 points plus a super bonus of 50 for his brilliant responce. I will give you the oppertunity to redeem yourself and remove the strike. All you have to do is post a site that uses the *word that do not have definition or try to get a get out of slammer free card from the wheel or buy one. *spins the wheel* Only 2 responces left which one will you get??? *Your number 1* This gives you 1 point for every number in your post since their are no numbers I will give you a point for every a you used sinse a is singulare meaning 1, and all the I for looking like ones. Thus gives you 4 extra points Totals round points 68

After a heated ending the round ends pokemone still can do this round bofore moving on if the next round ends then he will get 1 strike.

Scores added to first round

Neopets addict - 125 points
jabond102= 113 points
Zega=100 + looses trading spaced card as it's placed back on weel
livin_in_the_shadow = 100 points + 1 strike
lionheartwitty= 93 strike pending
JellyFish72= 64
Kurisutaru= 61
sirclucky= 49
the_dog_god = 40
Katy= 12 strike removed with get out of slammer free card.
Pokemon= 0 du to lost in space card :(

You are all doing great but are you ready to move on?? 1 more Go to slammer card is added to wheel along with a get out of slammer card. Here's your next task. You've all herd of some silly laws like Thialand - You must pay a fine of $600 in Thailand if you're caught throwing away chewed bubble gum on the sidewalk. If you do not pay the fine, you are jailed, United States - No person may appear as a contestant in more than one game show a year, Scotland - It is illegal to be a drunk in possession of a cow, Australia - Taxi cabs are required to carry a bale of hay in the trunk, Beijing - To go to college you must be intelligent. I could go on but it's your turn. Name 1 new law and what state or country it can be found.

I'm a little confused about this round, but I'll have a go at it:

In California, it is illegal for animals to mate publicly within 1,500 feet of a bar, school, or church.

I'm a little bit confused as well, but I'll try. :P
