Scare-te-Gories?

[Rayne]

I've been enjoying the games on the forum so much that I decided I wanted to do one, too.

If enough people want to play, we can make this work.

Anyone who's on can play. Points will carry over for each person, for each round they play in. Those who play most often, will likely accrue the most points.

This is based on the game 'Scattergories', but it will be horror-based.

It's a very simple game.

These are the official rules for Scattergories, but I have changed them slightly to suit horror-based forum play:

The objective of the game is to score points by uniquely naming movies or objects within a set of categories, given an initial letter.

Gameplay

Each 'challenge' has 12 categories.

The letter that the answers can start with will be determined by alphabetical order.

Each player must attempt to think of and write down a word, term or horror movie title that fits each of the 12 categories and starts with the chosen letter. Send them to me in a PM, and don't tell anyone what you have submitted until after all of the entries have been tallied.

Any number of words in the answer is allowed, as long as the first word starts with the correct letter (Articles 'A', 'An' and 'The' are to be ignored).

For example, with a category of "Slasher" and a letter of "S", titles such as "Scream", "The Secretary" and "Sleepaway Camp" are acceptable, but "Nightmare On Elm Street" is not (wrong initial letter), nor is "Silence Of The Lambs" (wrong category). Alliteration (using the chosen letter more than once) is encouraged; Scarecrow Slayer is worth 2 points.

Players score zero points for an answer that duplicates another answer in that round, and one point for an answer no other player has given.

Acceptable answers using alliteration score one point for each word using the letter.

For example, in the "S-Slasher" example, if players A, B, and C answered "Scream", "Scream", and "Slash" , respectively, players A and B would score nothing, and C would score 1 point.

If for some reason a player thinks someone's answer does not fit the category (for instance, "Serial Mom" for the category "Slasher") a player may challenge that answer. When challenged, all players vote on the validity of that answer. If the vote is a tie, the player's vote who is being challenged is thrown out.


So...If anyone wants to do this, I'll create the first list.

The good thing about this one is, you can choose to play a round or not...First person to score 100 points wins the game...Then another game starts if people still want to play :)

Okay, I'll make up the first one.
