Title: Alliterations!!!
Post by: Faith on May 30, 2007, 02:10:00 PM
Here's the Alliteration Game!!!   :D

Whoever uses the most words for one letter, wins. We will not take turns - first come first serve.
If one person's already used a letter, you have to use the next one, or not take the turn. If it's going kinda slow, I may take a turn, just to keep it going.

You can take more than one turn at a time, though that may not be much fun... I'm only saying that since it may become sluggish, and you may not want to wait for someone else to g; or maybe you'll want to have a certain letter.

Now, after making this once fun game sound like a total bore by dragging on about specific rules and details: have fun!   :P

I'll start us off, and you can build off that.   ;)

Now that Cookiemonster isn't in school, she wont be able to get on the Internet that often.

Oh well, it could still be fun.
I'll just play, now!   ;D

Ya' can't switch sounds like that, or it's not alliteration--cows and chewing use different sounds of C

Dumb Dogs Dance Dizzily Damaging Dandelion Dandruff and Dealing Destruction Dandily.

Not that that makes any kind of sense at all...

Well - I suppose you learn something new everyday!

*Laugh!!!*   :D

Well mine just sounds absurd, now...
They must be really dehydrated.... crunching cud... maybe I should have said they were crunching cocoa-puffs, or cantaloupe, or califlower.... ah well, too late!

Everyone enjoys enchanting, eager, envelope eating, ear engravers as everlasting, echoing eggs in embers enjoy Edward....

Now that makes very, very little sense....   ;D

(A scary thing to others; possibly harmful.)

Though perhaps I should start putting sense into my alliterations - if it's bothersome.   :-[    ;D
At least I'm not breaking the rules anymore!

No, not really.... not really good at all.   :)

Looks Like Lost Letters Like "L" leave looming lapses in literary...um...games.

Quick!  I need a word for games that starts with "L" to finish this!

Uh...though there does seem to have been a break in posting around here.  Probably my fault, for vanishing.

Actually... looks like Kitty went back, a few. 'Cuz I know that I did I before...
*Goes back and checks.*
So there was a reason as to why I kinda felt like I did G already, too...
With people like George and Gen, and other gargling people, or something like that.

So, I think we were actually on "N" when Kitty came on.

Now what?
Want to play on from here?

I just got one again, really quick, to finish answering every topic, before heading off.

Is Xerxes an actual name?
I was gonna' use Xepher.   ;D
Xenophobic and Xeroma are new ones, to me, too... I'll have to look those up.   :)

Hm... I think I'd better do one, before it's done.

Hehehe... Y's easy.

Xerxes is indeed an actual name.  Was the name of a Persian king, I believe.  I'll leave Z for someone other than me.  
Title: Re: Alliterations!!!
Post by: Dragyn on November 29, 2007, 08:54:00 AM
Yup, a persian king.  

Z is too easily affiliated with zebras, and I'm at a writer's block.  I'll leave it to someone who isn't stuck on the word "zebra."

I'm not sure whether I should laugh or cry.   ;D

My games aren't very succesfull...   :P

But, hey, at least we got to Z.   ;D

And now...?
... nobody's doing it, or, "Zoiks?" is it?
Should I just get it done with?
What does 'zoiks' mean?...
Title: Re: Alliterations!!!
Post by: arcblade on November 30, 2007, 03:14:00 AM
It's a reference to "Scooby Doo."  It was a joke.  Someone do Z.  
Title: Re: Alliterations!!!
Post by: Faith on November 30, 2007, 02:08:00 PM
I thought that was 'zoinks...'   ;D
My misunderstanding.   :P

I have to get off, right now... if nobody wants to, I'll just do it.   :)
Title: Re: Alliterations!!!
Post by: Fox on November 30, 2007, 05:11:00 PM
It is "zoinks". Ah, dang. I wasn't gonna reply 'cause I didn't wanna do "Z"..but you just had to misspell a Scooby-Doo related word. XD

Can I pass? I'm waiting for "f". >.>
Title: Re: Alliterations!!!
Post by: Faith on November 30, 2007, 06:54:00 PM
T, U, X, Y, Z... and F?
(Sorry, had to.)
You can go ahead and do F, as an extra, anytime you want to.   ;)
In fact, after this is done, if anyone thinks up some alliteration and wants to share it, go for it... not like that's gonna happen... but I'll just say it, anyway.

Hm... I think I'll give everyone a chance to get on, before I do it, myself.

Everyone's afraid of Z?
Hm... I was more bothered by the letter X...   ;D
I just don't want to do one after another, and I don't want to be the one to finish this...   :P

All very good, but you guys abuse the ability to string adjectives together. Use more adverbs instead to spice things up a bit.

See, this way it's much easier to see which words belong to which other words. --though part of that is the proper use of commas.

Post by: bloodreaper on December 06, 2007, 10:18:00 PM
Nailer is a fictional character from a video game called "Space Colony"

Think "The Sims" but with a fixed palette of characters (the majority of whom are maladjusted lunatics, outcast from normal society and forced to live on the fringes of known space), and set in a series of space colonies run by a corporate entity that makes EA Games look like a caring, small town operation, of elderly minonnite women. Your boss is evil, and he forces you to work the people under your command to the limits of human endurance.

Because your characters are all nuts, they don't make friends easily, but being in a dangerous environment with a bunch of homicidal lunatics they don't know, just increases their stress levels. Unless you want Nailer to take a  flamethrower to his room mates, it's important to make sure everyone has friends they see on a regular basis.

If he starts complaining that nobody talks to him, things are about to go downhill, unless you do something fast.
