Puzzle 183

[Randi]

So here's puzzle # 183. Please read my comment in # 182. Enjoy! :D

Here are the rules (Please pay attention to Rule #9):

1. You may only guess one letter at a time.

2. After you have guessed a letter, you must wait for another player to guess a letter before you can go again.
3. The host of the game responding to a guess does not count as a turn. Should you choose a letter, then receive a response from the member host, you must wait for the next member to guess a letter.
4. One point will be awarded for each correct letter, 2 points for vowels.
5. Only six misses are allowed in the game.
6. If you wish to guess the phrase, send it to me via Pet Talk personal email.[This is accessible via the 'PM' or 'Profile' buttons on any of my posts.] DO NOT post it on the forum If you wish to guess a letter, post it on the forum.
7. You must have submitted a correct letter to submit your solution. Unlike letters, if you submit a wrong solution, you are disqualified from continuing in that puzzle.
8. The player who correctly guesses the phrase wins the game. If no one has guessed it correctly after six misses, then the player with the most points wins the game.
9. Only 10 guesses allowed in total until the host updates the puzzle. Any guess after 10, before the next update, won't be counted as a guess. Of course, someone else has to guess before you can go again.
And here is what you win...you get to create the next puzzle. (Should you win the game, and do not care to host the next puzzle, you may pass your puzzle play to the member with the next highest points)

Here is the puzzle:

"---- ---- ---- --- ---- -- --- ------, --- ---- --- - ------, ----- ------, ----- ---- ------- -- -------- -- ----- --- --- ------ -- ---------- -- ----. --- ----- -- --- ------- --- ------- ------- --- ------- --- --- ----------, --- -- - ---, ---- --- --, --- -- --- ----."

[sottice]

L please

[Cincy'sMom]

I am close!

L, please

[Fuzzy317]

Two L's??? :confused:

Both guesses for L have same posting time, so they both hit post at the same time, the odds of that happening are very rare. :D

I will have a letter Y.

[Rottieluver45]

P Please!

[delidog]

"K" please

Great Puzzle Randi!!!!

[Fuzzy317]

B please

[Rottieluver45]

W Please!

[Fuzzy317]

V please (the 8th letter guess since last update)

[delidog]

h please

i corrected previous post

[Fuzzy317]

The letter quess is 10 so far.

[Randi]

Welcome Sottice and delidog – a bit late ;) Cincy’s mum and sottice, you both sent an L at the excact same time, so my solution is to let you share the points! :D

Anyway, if I put all the guessed letters in, there are none left to guess and the puzzle is solved. No fun! What I can do is, to put the first 5 guessed letters in and you can have a go at guessing. Let me know, please!

If I don’t get any replies to this, I’ll post the puzzle and points at 14.00 GMT!

[Ann]

Do what you said Randi! That way is alot more fun than just having a solved puzzle and no guesses!

[Randi]

I have now given points for for first 5 letters after the update. Hope you all think it’s funnier this way. :D If not, Nita is the winner with highest points!

Actually, I don't think this rule, where it's allowed to guess 10 letters before next update is very good. If I put 10 letters in at one go, anyone can guess it right away and the thrill is gone. I'll suggest no more than 5, (or even 3) after the wowels have been put in, which are always the ones to be guessed first.

What's your opinion?

Here's the puzzle:

"Look deep into the eyes of any animal, and then for a moment, trade places, their life -ecomes as precious as yours and you -ecome as -ulnera-le as them. No- smile if you -elie-e all animals deser-e our respect and our protection, for in a -ay, they are us, and -e are them."
~ ~ Philip Ochoa

[Fuzzy317]

I sent a guess, and I do think making the limit 5 letter guesses between updates sounds better.

[Randi]

Thanks for your responses. I'm glad you agree that 5 is appropiate. Lets stick to that!

We have a winner! :D Fuzzy sent a guess and it's right!

This is the puzzle:

"Look deep into the eyes of any animal, and then for a moment, trade places, their life becomes as precious as yours and you become as vulnerable as them. Now smile if you believe all animals deserve our respect and our protection, for in a way, they are us, and we are them."
~ ~ Philip Ochoa


Fuzzy, do you want to host the next? :)

[Fuzzy317]

I will have to bow out this time. :(
I think hosting of the next puzzle then goes to Sirocco

[Randi]

Fair enough fuzzy, you've been hosting quite a lot recently and are even doing the updates on the used ones! :D

I'll ask Nita!

[Rottieluver45]

[delidog]

randi was going to ask nita,(scirocco)...she'll probably be back early mon.a.m......as scirocco is in Spain....

[Rottieluver45]

Ok Thanks Delidog! I was wondering cause it`s been a couple of days!

[delidog]

[Randi]
