How about another spelling game?

I'd propose a spelling bee, but that's pretty hard to do over a text-based medium.

 

This thing still going?

 

Can we just declare everyone left a winner and move on? Please?

 

Check me on this list folks...

Yeah, I wud lahk to git in on the nixt wun.

 

Sounds good to me but it was codell's game. I vote we all just add "My spelling rocks!" to our collective signatures and be done with it.

 

I say we form a "League of Extraordinary Spellers" and mock others when they dare question our spelling prowess. We'll all get "Spelling Mod" titles, as well as a secret CF.net forum and access to the search function.

Jeff/Keeley/BrianKagy/DoD, make it happen.

 

This isn't the YMCA, everyone doesn't win, one by one someone will screw up.

 

...and like the YMCA, folks who are not on the court usually don't determine the outcome of the game.

 

Thats me, but don't us fans have a voice?

 

I say we implement a Spelling Game playoffs. We can seed it by number of kills.

The game will continue, just with a little twist. The pairs will go against each other. Each individual will purposely misspell up to five words per day. It is the job of the other person to find all of the mistakes. We can do this for however long everyone agrees on, one week, two weeks, whatever. At the end of the time, whoever fails to find the most mistakes by their opponent, loses.

It relies heavily on the honor system, and for the poster to keep a log of his or her posts. codell can verify all entries. We can either confine the posts to a particular forum, or make it more fun and let the posts spread into any and all forums.

Suggestions or comments?

 

That sounds a lot like work to me...

"Summer time and the livin's easy... "

 

Or we could just skip all the hoopla, and declare me the cf.net Supreme All Being Spelling Grandmaster .

 

Here is a list of the number of kills for those left in the game, just in case you are interested:

B - 8 kills
Mulder - 5 kills + plus Reuters News Service
Coma - 3 kills
HOOP-T - 1 kill
Zac_D - 1 kill

 

Let's just give up the game. It's probably not fair that I'm participating anyway, since I don't post too often, and never when I'm inebriated.

 

Y'all are lucky that I am not participating this time! I should have, though, I owe Zac_D a kill!

 

Is ti too late for me to jion?

 

Wir sind so glücklich

 

Very good! How did you do the "ü" on your keyboard?

 

How about a CF.net election? The remaining people will get to campaign for the title of "Supreme God Emperor of Spelling," chosen by the rest of the BBS in a vote.

Or... we could make things interesting and go straight to sudden death: GRAMMAR!
