Wedge is the one to match on seven ----

48 hours max to PM your phrases.

 

Host Note

I will post a new phrase either between 6-8 A.m. ET if the last phrase is received overnight.

If the last phrase is received by noon, a new phrase will be posted between 1-4 p.m. ET.

Also a reminder post will be posted in the thread 24-30 hours along, if all phrases have not been received.

This isn't a game rule thingy just something to keep things moving smoothly

That's why it's good to have the hostess on watched status or the game thread on ATN.

Congratulations to Fels & thanks for such awesome participating!!



~~!

Just a quick question for players: would you like the phrases to be more structured 1) more often, 2) less often, or do you think this is a good mix?



By structured, something like: "kettle figure of speech"; "rock song title/lyric".

The goal of the structuring is to make matches more likely while not crimping on creativity.

 

Congrats Fels!


Jade: I think you can go up to 50% of structured phrases to keep it balanced.

 

Congrats, Fels!!

 

Thank you.

Seems like a good mix.

 

Not actually playing in this round, but I agree that it does seem to be a good mix.
