O.K., I'm pretty sure everybody knows how to play this game but for the slight possibility you dont:

1. The poster thinks of a word, and represents each letter of the word with an underscore.

2. The person after the poster must guess the word, using letters. If the poster is confident that they know the entire word they can post it, but if they guess incorrectly, they receive a penalty.

3. When the poster guesses an incorrect letter, a '*' symbol is posted next to the word, when 6-10 '*' marks are lined up in a row, the poster reveals the word and is allowed to post another.

4. The poster must start the word off with a hint, and can give more if the other players ask for it, but only if they have passed the half way mark. (poster's decision on odd numbered *s)

5. The person who guesses the entire word(s) without letting the *s stack up to the maximum limit, wins the right to be the next person to post a word.

VERY important notes:

1. Pentaly:

You get a penalty when you attempt to guess more than 2 blank spaces at a time and fail, having a penalty forbids you from posting for the number of blank spaces you guessed incorrectly.

2. * Limit:

The poster is allowed to choose the number of *s for their word, ranked:

6*= Insane
7*= Hard
8*= Medium-Hard
9*= Medium
10*= Medium-Easy
11*= Easy
12*= Simple

Example:

Poster no.1: _ _ _ Difficulty = Medium-Hard

Poster no.2: C?

Poster no.1: C_ _

Poster no.2: B?

Poster no.1 C_ _ *

Poster no.2 A?

Poster no.1 CA _*

Poster no.3 T?

Poster no.1 CAT* (Poster no.3's turn to choose a word)

Hint Hint: In case you don't know, vowels are essential to nearly every word in the English language, so try choosing those. (A, E, I, O, U)

Here it goes, starting off with a nice easy one.

EDIT: My bad I forgot an underscore.

Oh dammit I forgot to add one underscore.

Correct!

It is now queenofthedeck's turn to post a word.
