I will be keeping track of the story as well as points in the next post.This game is just like normal Scrabble, except as well as playing a game, you're building up a communal story as you go.
If you place the first word on the board, you'll need to say a line about the word: if it's "goat", for example, you might say: "Once upona time,, there was a grumpy little goat."
Each time you play a word, you'll need to add to the story with a line or two that use that word.
If you make more than one word on your turn (by adding letters to existing words and changing them), you'll need to use all the words you've made.
Otherwise, normal Scrabble rules apply:
Spoiler: The Rules of Scrabble
I may also award extra points on a whim for good additions to the story, BECAUSE I CAN.
I may also penalise paticularly terrible additions to the story, or if I suspect that you've cheated because your word is ridiculously obscure and you're also failing to use it correctly in the story.
Turns will have 48 hour deadlines. As I am using my iPod Scrabble application as a medium for aiding moderation, you will only get your hand PM'd to you at the beginning of your 48 hours for your turn, sorry about that.
Missing your deadline forfeits your turn, and a tile will be selected from your hand and random and exchanged for another.
Words will be checked for validity here, both British English and American English is allowed.
This game is mainly for fun rather than anything competitive, so if you do cheat, do so with a suitable sense of shame and guilt. Thank you.
This has been introduced because, ultimately, while this is for fun, we are working together as a team to produce a story that should be comprehensible and enjoyable to read.
