Puzzle 104

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.

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 my private message here at Pet Talk, {Long, boring story...}
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.

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:

Petspoil (love the log in name, by the way),

Sorry, by the rules (#3) my updates don't count. You need to let another contestant enter before you can submit again. Fingers crossed someone will submit something soon. Then you can guess again.

Thank you all for playing. It's been fun. I'll be in touch with the winner and confirm she is willing to host the next game. If not, the high scorer is Audrey/Sleipner...

[tatsxxx11]

Wooo wooo!! And thanks; I'll take what's behind door # 3!!:D

[AmberLee]

Tatsxxx11 has agreed to host (hostess?) the next puzzle. Expect a new puzzle in the next couple days.

[tatsxxx11]

Yes, in fact it is my sad duty to report to you that I will be your next PuZzLE MeISteR(ess??) !!!:confused: Be kind! This is my first plunge into the vowel abyss!:D

[AmberLee]

I can't tell you how nervous I was when I first realized I'd be the next puzzle meister/ wrangler/ whatever... Once I picked a quote though, it was lots of fun. Actually got a little over-eager (:o over-eager -- who me? :o ) Wanted to email people/ personal message visitors to PT to "come guess letters in the puzzle" ... :o

If I had to do it all over again, I'd set the initial thread beginning up in another program and copy and paste it in. I had the quote set up that way, but not the rules and how to contact me ... (Another boo-boo? Had to replace the underline/space convention with dashes, otherwise this program ran the underlines together and participants wouldn't have an accurate gauge of the numbers of letters in the quote.)

[tatsxxx11]

:confused: :confused: :confused: Oh, now you've really got me worried!!:D

[AmberLee]

:o :o :o And I was trying to be helpful ... scuffle foot, scuffle foot.... :o
