Balderdash!!!!

E, LoR · 01-14-2006, 10:11 PM

okay, heres how this is going to work:
I'm going to pick a word from the dictionary and then you guys are going to PM me with your definitions. Then I'm going to post the definitions. 1 pt if you guess the correct def. 2 pts if your def gets picked. I'll post the scores. Oh, and I get 1 pt if no one guesses the correct answer. If you want to be the dasher just PM me.

Please don't use the dictionary.

word: incogitant

Bombadillo · 01-14-2006, 10:18 PM

OMG this is the best game thread ever. My family and I play the board game almost every time we get together. In person esspecially, it gets hilarious. I'm about to PM you.

E, LoR · 01-14-2006, 10:26 PM

thanks

Lotesse · 01-14-2006, 10:43 PM

Hey, this sounds like a REALLY fun game! Right up my alley - I love etymology, and I love games. My only suggestion to you is, how about play the whole game here in your thread? PMing is no fun, because - well, it's just no fun. Can't you have people put their guessed definitions here, and then after a prescribed amount of time, you give them their pointage? And what's a dasher? I'm VERY interested in this game!

**Nurvingiel** · 01-14-2006, 11:25 PM

This sounds a lot like Dictionary, that my family and I play. Fun!

Eowyn, I love that you turned your name into an acronym! You are awesome.

I think a "dasher" would be what Eowyn is right now: someone who runs this thing. (from "balderdash")
The whole key of the game is secrecy. Once a certain amount of definitions are PM'd, then she'll post and we'll guess which one is correct. PMing makes it flow better...

Lotesse · 01-15-2006, 01:05 AM

O.K., I'll give it a go - PMing now...

Thanks!!!

the reason why you cant just post the definition is because after all the defs are in you have to guess which one is the correct one, and if every one just post theirs you'll know which ones are fake and which one is real
hope that explains stuff

Sorry, spock, didnt realize this would go under entertainment

thanx nurvingiel!!!!

oh, i think I'll post the definitions tomorrow...we might get more, then it'll be harder

E, LoR · 01-16-2006, 01:39 PM

okay, here are the long anticipated definitions:
Incogitant

1: Immune to mind-reading
2: with out deliberation or though
3: inconsiderate
4: incapable of thinking
5: Unable to be aware
6: Unthinking
7: not understandable by a reasonable person

you can post your guesses and as soon as everyone's guessed I'll post up the score.

E, LoR

You could have players put their definition ideas in spoiler bars, if we're all willing to trust one another not to peak. If I posted here (I might; it's been a long time since I played this game, but I know it's fun), I certainly would trust others not to peak what's in the spoiler bars.

While Rohirrim thinks of what to say, here's a word for you all... WELTER

Farimir Captain of Gondor · 03-01-2006, 08:34 PM

PM sent. Sorry, i wasn't sure if I was suppose to announce i had sent one.

If i don't have to I won't do it again.

Serenoli · 03-02-2006, 02:24 AM

No, you don't need to. Not that it matters if you do. BTW, I'm still laughing.

Serenoli · 03-22-2006, 08:30 AM

Ah, looks like only Farimir and me have posted defs... still, hopeful of someone courageous enough to attempt the word...

Farimir Captain of Gondor · 03-27-2006, 02:13 AM

Because if this game dies, it will make me very sad.

Not enough mooters playing. To busy with other things? Does no one like to play games anymore?

Count Comfect · 03-27-2006, 02:25 AM

I haven't forgotten about it. If you really want to, we're still at 2 defs, I could just post it.

Lotesse · 03-27-2006, 02:32 AM

Is - is it a new modern word? O.K., I'll pm my guess.

Count Comfect · 03-27-2006, 03:11 AM

Yay! We have 3!

Animadvert:

1. noun: an angry inverted anime character
2. verb: criticize
3. verb: remark, usually critically
4. noun: a word to describe an advertisement that is animated

Guess away!

Serenoli · 07-19-2006, 01:26 AM

Sure... here are the three defs I got:

faggot, n. 1. a bundle of sticks or wood
2. a bundle of sticks
3.an offensive slang term used to denote a homosexual.

Go ahead and guess, although it seems a bit obvious....

Count Comfect · 07-20-2006, 07:56 PM

It can be any of the three, I think

2?
