New idea for a game - Forum Boggle

DannyOcean_ · #1 07-19-2007, 01:23 AM

I have an idea for a game, and i have no idea whether or not anybody would be interested, and i've never even posted in POG before, but here goes.

Forum Boggle

I post an image of a 'Boggle' board. The game is played in a similar way to typical Boggle. Each 3 letter word is 1 point, 4 letters in 2 points, etc. To get a word, it must be on the board according to boggle rules and you must be the first one to post it. There would be a time limit (2 min? 5, 10 min?) and some other random stuff to work out (can you post 10 words at once, or only one word at a time?), but it would be an easy and fast game to play once the kinks are worked out. If there is any interest i'd love to help set it up.

Who's with me?

Post a board while Shortline is around and it will go for sure

I'm going to try this in BBV4EVA and come back with a trip report for POG. Back in 30 min.

ran into one kink. Someone in bbv4l got every possible word in one minute. So there is a program that can make you win, i guess POGers would just go by honor not to use anything but themselves.

If POGers don't cheat, then i will start a game tonight, just to see how it goes. Check for a thread in the next ten minutes.

true, the current time is not great for attracting many players. there are a few stragglers from the turbo and the +/- game, but most Poggers have left the building.

See Nich's POG QUIZ for an example of the honesty of Poggers in these things.
