It would appear we need some new threads. So, with my attempt to make new threads (which has thus far pretty much been a flop), I now turn my gaze to forum games. Forum games are fun! Everyone loves forum games. Let's have some forum games. Starting of course, with the fan favorite Lingo. Even though it's really annoying to keep track of, for me.
It's basically common lingo, with some "major" changes, here are the rules, the major changes are italized:
I'll post a word like this:
| L | _ | _ | _ | _ |
That means a 5 letters word in where the L is on the right place, and the other 4 letters are unknown, but could be any letters as long as they form a word (it could be anything as long as it exists and is decent).
You may post up to 2 guesses per turn, then I post and you can guess again. A guess consists of you posting a word that could be it. After each guess, letters that are in the word and in their correct position will be bolded and cyan, letters that are NOT in their correct position, but are in the word, will be underlined and green, letters that are not in the word will be italized and yellow, and known letters will be white.
Scoring: You score $25 per letter right, $200 for the whole word, and extra $100 if you guess the word in one try. Words can be of any lenght, if they're shorter than 7 letters, their background will be blue, and they'll give extra $5 per letter right, and if they're shorter than 4 letters, their background will be red and they'll give extra $10 per letter right. I'll keep one vanilla word going at all times.
Most of the time a hint will be given, and if the word proves too hard to guess, it'll be lost giving me points and a new one will replace it. There is no limit of guessing as long as you post up to two guesses per each time I post.
Please don't edit your post unless I ninja you and you want to change your guesses (this is the only exception.)
Bonuses: There can be more than 1 word at a time. Words with golden background will give $100 extra points.
I'll update the thread each time someone guesses a lingo, enough guesses have been posted or enough hours have passed since last guess.
The object of the game is to reach $10'000, the first doing so wins the game!
Special thanks to Kaeru for the lingo script that makes coloring letters very swift! (Although I appear to have lost the link to the script, if anyone has it, please PM it to me on here or IRC)
And the first word is:
| L | _ | _ | _ | _ |
