Standings through Round 10 of 12:



New leader, but it's very close. Also, a bit of a battle heating up for the bronze medal position.

Mets picking a 1 round game made this a lot more likely to finish. I suggest a rousing round of Poggers Row Your Boat Ashore for the next game to keep this interesting.

I have one game idea, but that's it. Feel free to chime in with what you'd like to play.

Rules

The game is played in 3 rounds.

You will receive 3 PM's, each with a different "starting letter." Your responses for that PM should all start with that letter. You'll receive one point for each unique response. If your response has multiple words that start with the "starting letter," you'll recieve one point for each word in the response. Responses must comply with the category given. Uniqueness and category compliance will be determined by the game mod.

You'll have 5 minutes to complete each "round." The round starts when you open your PM. (I'll request a read receipt.) If you take 6 minutes, your score for that round will be reduced by 50%. If you take 7 or more minutes, your score for that round will be 0.

Use of external resources is prohibited.

Below are the categories for which you will provide answers.

Ranking

Contestants will be ranked by the sum of their 3 round scores. Ties will be broken by taking each player's best round score and comparing them. If a tie still exists, we'll compare second best round scores. If a tie exists at this point, the tie will not be broken and players will share the place and corresponding championship points.

***

As always, if there are questions, please ask in thread or by PM.

Game PM's will be going out at some point tomorrow.
