Puzzle #392

[Randi]

New players! Read the rules before you join, please, and be prepared to host the next if you win!

Here are 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’s the puzzle - a special one. Enjoy!

[AmberLee]

Well, that helped a lot, but I'm still confused on the names. :rolleyes: And I can't even send in a letter guess yet. Oh well!

[Randi]

OK Amberlee, I'll give you a clue... think PET TALK! ;)

[pitc9]

Y please

[AmberLee]

Oh, yeah. :o :o :o ;)

Guess sent.

[Randi]

Amberlee, you guess is right! Congratulations! :)

The puzzle is:

Another time, I was woken early in the morning by one of our neighbors. “Your cat's out here on the stairs”, she says. “Thank you very much”, I say, and sleepily let the big black cat in. He wanders straight into the kitchen and begins to eat. I return to the bedroom, and who wanders out but Batman! I luckily managed to get the intruder out before Batman saw him, otherwise I’m sure the fur would have been flying! Some cats do have a lot of nerve.

Due to a busy schedule, Amberlee is not able to host the next, so it goes to the highest scorer, that is you, Pict9 - do you want to host the next?

[The_Duck]

Had it all but the authors name and am eager to try again, so I'm giving it a little bump. :)

[Randi]

Thanks for the bump, The_Duck. I really think that if you guys join a puzzle, you should at least check what's going on and reply whether you want to host the next or not! Doesn't seem anyone care.
So The_Duck, if you want to host the next, go ahead! ;)

[The_Duck]

Sorry for the delay in my own response, Randi. This was rather unexpected and I've been scrambling to find something that will work. I think (hope) I have it and will be posting the new puzzle in just a moment. Thanks for your patience, everybody!
