Puzzle #351

[Killearn Kitties]

To newcomers: Read the rules before you join, please, and be prepared to host the next if you win!

The rules:

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. (see also rule #9)

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 Private message. (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 5 guesses allowed in total until the host updates the puzzle. Any guess after 5, before the next update, won't be counted as a guess. And as always, someone else has to guess a letter before you can guess another letter.

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 it to the member with the next highest points)

Here is the puzzle:


------- -- ----- ------, ----- -- ------

---- ---- ------ ----- --- ----
-- ----- -- --- ---------;
--- -- ---- -- -- -- ------ --- --,
---- ------- ~ ----! ---------.

------ -----


Letters to guess:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

d.. please

what happens if ALL letters are guessed and no one send a guess through PM??...... would the high scorer win or the person that got the last letter and completed the puzzle?...... even so they need to send through PM?...... just divagating (not sure of word) a bit ;)

[lvpets2002]

"Z" please ;)

[pitc9]

J please

I am hoping it doesn't come to that! Possibly the person who guesses the last letter? Nobody seems too keen to have a guess at this one anyway. Perhaps everybody is too busy to host the next one, or maybe the “amang” is putting people off guessing? Did I not mention it was in a foreign language. :p

PS While I have been preparing this, Pict9 has just guessed the last letter! Would you care to host the next puzzle at all?

I don't know who James Grieve was (other than being the Laird of Boghead obviously) but I'm guessing he was not popular.


Epitaph on James Grieve, Laird of Boghead

Here lies Boghead amang the dead
In hopes to get salvation;
But if such as he in heaven may be,
Then welcome - hail! damnation.

HA! Sorry, I missed the Z. There were none of them. ;)

[Karen]

Yes, the amang made me realize that it was in Scotts' English, and I'd better not guess at unknown words! As I have the highest point total, shalll I host the next one? Let me know!

[pitc9]

Karen, Killearn Kitties PMed me and asked if I wanted to do the next puzzle or have you do it and I said that you could do it.
:D
After all... you had the most points!
