The original thread was zapped away by a server glitch. See another game going on in Teen Spirit also! http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum14/HTML/000311.html Here is the beginning of the game here at Lexigram Magic: quote: Using any and all the SINGULAR LETTERS OF THE ALPHABET...ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ NO INDIVIDUAL WORD CAN HAVE MORE THAN ONE COPY OF ANY LETTER IN IT.
quote: Try to tell an ongoing story using 1 to 10 words..."12" if you really need to...but no more!The starter? ONCE UPON A TIME LONG AGO.... From "LEXIGAMES BY LEXX" COPYRIGHT 2007
Add/edit We can worry about good punctuation later... I am adding the new lines here below as they develop! The story thus far! We can worry about good punctuation later... The story thus far! quote: ONCE UPON A TIME LONG AGO.... BELOW THE SURFACE OF A MURKY LAKE... LIVED A SOFT VOICED SULTRY WATER SPRITE... WHO LOVED TO GAZE UPON ONE STAR THEN MAKING A WISH FOR TRUE LOVE SHE LEAPT TOWARDS THE SKY IN JOY WHILST REACHING OUT TO TOUCH THE ONE SILVERY... CLOUD ABOVE. A SHARP NOISE BROKE INTO HER DREAMS. IT WAS THE THUNDER GOD THOR, SON OF ODIN, WHO... WAS JEALOUS SHE COULD THINK OF ANOTHER THE THUNDER BOLTS HE THREW FLASHED IN THE NIGHT SKY SHE QUICKLY DOVE BACK INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE LAKE THE WILD WINDS BLEW ABOVE THE LAKE, THE WAVES CRASHED... AND YET THOR'S HEART WOULD NOT CALM ITSELF. AS THE RAGE OF ANGRY THOR SHAKED THE EARTH WHILST SHE HID, TREMBLING IN HER WATERY CAVE IN THE FOREST, THE JOINER'S SON WAS IN AWE. HE SAT BY AN OAKEN FRAMED PORTAL HIS FATHER MADE "WHY ARE THE STORM WINDS SO WILD?" HE ASKED HIMSELF. HE LEFT HIS HUT AND WENT OUT INTO THE STORM AS HE WALKED, STRONG VIOLENT WINDS TORE AT HIS CAPE THUNDERCLAPS RANG IN HIS EARS. BUT HE FELT NO FEAR. HE FELT HIMSELF BEING DRAWN DREAMILY TOWARDS THE DARK LAKE LURED BY THE ECHO OF A DULCET SONG
THEN HE SAW HER! HER SOFT SILKEN HAIR, HER SULTRY HYPNOTIC GAZE... THE BEAUTY OF HER SOUL SHONE OUT LIKE A BEACON HER SONG DELIGHTS HIM, IN A DREAMING TRANCE HE WADES INTO THE WATER..
I am adding the new lines here above as they develop! ------------------ It is not about waiting for storms to pass...it is about learning to dance in the rain! __________________________________________________________________________IP: Logged |

Oooops! Cannot use the word: "THAt"The alphabet has only one letter "T". Change it to: quote: WAS JEALOUS SHE COULD THINK OF ANOTHER
or quote: WAS SO VERY JEALOUS SHE COULD THINK OF ANOTHER

It sounds simple but it is harder than one would think to write a story/Lexigram using only singular letters in all individual words. See the first of these games here:ABC LEXIGAME #1 BTW..you are doing good and thank you for playing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ------------------ It is not about waiting for storms to pass...it is about learning to dance in the rain! __________________________________________________________________________ IP: Logged |

Sorry for butting in but i have a question: isn't "shake" an irregular verb? Is "shaked" an old English past tense or something? IP: Logged |

quote: Sorry for butting in but i have a question: isn't "shake" an irregular verb? Is "shaked" an old English past tense or something?
A valid query! "Shaked" is indeed an archaism for "shook", and an irregular verb by that token. Example: From the KJV version of the Bible: quote: Psalm 109:25 I became also a reproach unto them: [when] they looked upon me they shaked their heads.
As for parts of speech it is: v. shook (shk), shak·en (shkn), shak·ing, shakes v.tr. v.intr. n. The past tense shook could not be utilized in this game due to its having two copies of the letter "O", which the complete alphabet does not have. ------------------ It is not about waiting for storms to pass...it is about learning to dance in the rain! __________________________________________________________________________
