You were waiting for this, weren't you? Sorry, got tied up on another project...
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 Private Message or email me at
[email protected]. 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 your puzzle play to the member with the next highest points)

A sloth is out for a walk when hes mugged by four snails. After recovering his wits, he goes to make a police report. Can you describe the snails? asks the officer. Not well, it all happened so fast, replies the sloth.
We had 2 successful guesses within 3 minutes of each other. The first came from our mayor, Karen. She passes the puzzle on to the next high scorer... Here is the ranking in point order in case Fuzzy318 passes also -
Karen: 22 Es, 14 Os = 72 points (1st successful guess, waives)
Fuzzy317 16 Ss, 13 As = 42 points
Miss Meow 13 Ts, 11 Ls = 24 points
IceyShiver 11 Is = 22 points
Koxka 4 Ws, 10 Hs = 14 points
Randi 10 Rs = 10 points
Luckies4Me 5 Cs, 2 Ms = 7 points (2nd successful guess)
Primavera 7 Ns = 7 points
Jessica12345 5 Ps = 5 points
Bobolay65 3 Ds=3 points

The next correct guesser doesn't get to host? I would think it would pass to the next person who correctly guesses, then to the player with the highest score.

I really don't know what the standard policy is in this case. I assume from your comments that you are volunteering to host the next puzzle, is this correct?

Sure, lol! I would like to, although there is no rule stating what should happen if two people guess and they are both right, but one wants to pass. :)

According to the rules:
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
I will have a new puzzle up tonight. :)
