Puzzle 159

[AmberLee]

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 puzzle, 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.

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:
“--- ---------~----- ------ --------’- “-----~---~-------” ------- -------- --- --- --------- ----: --- ---------- --------.

------’- ------: ------ -- -------”

GOOD LUCK!!!!

Note: once again I've picked a quote that uses hyphens. As my computer works best using hyphens for letter-substitutes, I've replaced the REAL hyophens with the symbol '~'. Sorry if this is confusing.

[Fuzzy317]

O please

actually using a "~" for a dash is a good idea, it is less confusing than the old method of (-) for a dash.

[AmberLee]

I've sent a request to consider hosting the next puzzle to Fuzzy317 as he is the high scorer. I hope he will do it.

[Fuzzy317]

We are doing some major home improvements this weekend. :(
I could start a puzzle on Sunday, but if someone wants a new one started ealier, I will have to pass.

[AmberLee]

Sometimes the timing can be bad to host a puzzle. The next highest scorer is Sara Luvs Her Tinky, I'm PM'd her to see if she is interested in hosting or if she'd prefer we wait till Sunday.

Are there any other participants out there desperately eager to host a puzzle? ;)
DeliDog is next highest, then Ann M, and a tie: MOFF and Mel55Smiles...

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I vote for waiting until Sunday and letting Fuzzy post one. I'm having allergy headaches so need to go take my allergy pill and sneak in for a nap with an ice pack on my head. Wish me luck...my cat boys will try to 'tend to me' and make me feel better.:D

[AmberLee]

So far the consensus seems to be that we wait for Fuzzy to get free on Sunday. Unless someone spontaneously chooses to start one before then, so be it.

***whew***

Lots and lots and lots of luck!!! From what you tell of your crew I'm a smidge dubious of their nursing skills, but their devotion is 100%. Hope you are feeling better real soon. Those headaches can be nasty. Take care.

[Fuzzy317]

Unless one is started, I will have Puzzle 160, Sunday.
