Okay... another interesting idea popped into my head...

Here's how the game is played... simply enough, you just go through the alphabet without using a certain letter throughout an entire sentence. You start by not using "A", then "B", so on and so forth...

Example:

Post #1: Bob is drinking rum. (Notice the lack of "A")
Post #2 An irate duck attacks pollovivo. (Notice the lack of "B")

Like other forum games, once we hit "Z", we'll cycle back to "A"...

To start...

Ginseng is good for you...

supermario

(no "b") - Ivan has at least one large wart.

pollovivo

04-11-2005, 07:33 AM

(no "c") - My father likes to pester small animals.

supermario

04-11-2005, 07:34 AM

(no "d") Over hill, never fail, we will hit the rusty trail as those caissons go rolling along...

pollovivo

(no "e") - Don't kill your dog, as it may want to bark again tomorrow.

supermario

04-11-2005, 07:38 AM

(no "f") - Tall tales help to make a man strong.

Mantzaros

04-11-2005, 01:22 PM

(No letter G) - Do whatever you wish, kid; just do it properly.

(Just to annoy supermario: word "windy" does contain a D. :p)

HinesDaMan

04-11-2005, 03:45 PM

(No "H") Is it truly nobler to die? Or is it so to suffer?

supermario

04-11-2005, 04:18 PM

(no "I")Why does a rat not fly low to the ground?

btw, thanks Mantzaros, changed... :D

HinesDaMan

04-11-2005, 05:26 PM

(NO "J")The knight decided at the last to drop his lance, and instead fight by sword

supermario

04-11-2005, 05:39 PM

(no "k") As the sun set over the town, people sat in awe at the beautiful sunset.

HinesDaMan

04-11-2005, 06:29 PM

(NO "L") The trek had rendered the journeyman fatigued and despondent.

Every1sHero

04-11-2005, 06:40 PM

The goalie looked up, astounded; the fact that the ball got past his rock solid defense was confusing. (No M)

supermario

04-11-2005, 07:43 PM

(no n) At the prompt, the kids started their paper clip figures.

Shaggy

04-11-2005, 11:17 PM

(No "o")Why is that everything in this area smells like fish?? ;)

HinesDaMan

04-12-2005, 06:24 AM

Hey Supermario, your "No N" sentence actually contains an N in the word building...

(NO "P") At first glance, he thought he recognized the woman from a long time ago

supermario

04-12-2005, 06:51 AM

(no "q") The slow brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

Mick

04-12-2005, 11:33 PM

(no "r") Hey guys, how about making this game so the sentence has to continue on the same theme/idea?

NOTE - I wanted to say "continue the story"(no "r"):D...instead of random sentences. Like the 3 words game....

HinesDaMan

04-13-2005, 05:48 AM

(NO S) After taking the idea from Mick, I decided to begin with "Once Upon A Time..."

supermario

04-13-2005, 06:28 PM

(no "t") Now our games are very similar. :D

pollovivo

04-14-2005, 07:06 AM

It is as if they had become one game, a sort of omni-game. (No 'u')

supermario

04-14-2005, 07:07 AM

Under all of the similarities, they did contain some startling differences. (no V)

EDIT: Post #300, YAY!

pollovivo

04-14-2005, 07:34 AM

It came to be that gamers at randomgames could come to see these differences, and that both games can be entertaining. (no 'w')

supermario

04-14-2005, 07:37 AM

(no "x") So supermario and pollovivo decided that both of their games could continue on, so they did.

pollovivo

04-14-2005, 07:49 AM

(No 'y') Soon though, pollovivo realized that supermario was taking all of his game's non-hard letters, like 'Q' and 'X'.

supermario

04-14-2005, 07:50 AM

(no 'z') And supermario noticed that pollovivo was very observant, and yes, he has gotten very lucky so far.

Freakums

04-14-2005, 08:25 PM

and freaskums has noticed that few poeple care and that people, are quite desperate to attempt and find somethign to talk about for their sentrences.
hmmm . . . .
no x, next

HinesDaMan

04-15-2005, 05:52 AM

(NO "X") All of a sudden, HinesDaMan got an easier letter than Supermario, and thus the world rejoiced

supermario

04-15-2005, 04:33 PM

(NO "W") Then supermario decided to challenge HinesDaMan to a duel in the arcade. :D

timmy

04-15-2005, 05:03 PM

(NO A) this order of letters is little bit messed up oh well

supermario

04-15-2005, 05:37 PM

timmy, we're going backwards from Z to A right now, you need "V"... but I'll take it...

(no "v") But timmy decided to join the duel, and the three had to duke it out.

timmy

04-16-2005, 10:08 AM

(no U) timmy realised how it works now

Freakums

04-16-2005, 02:00 PM

(no t)
and ffreak rejoiced, for so few new members to web pages seem to comprehend rules of forum games!

supermario

04-16-2005, 02:05 PM

(no s)And I decided to keep the game going by adding the following line.

HinesDaMan

04-16-2005, 03:53 PM

But Hines had folly in his attempts to make a sentence without the symbol following S, and thus this post makes no sense. (NO "R")

supermario

04-16-2005, 04:48 PM

But supermario loved the fact that yet once again, he had to make a sentence without the letter coming after "P" and before "R", despite the fact that others will now hate supermario with a passion if they didn't already. :D

(No "Q")

Freakums

04-16-2005, 05:17 PM

mario, "this" has an s in it. :p
(no p)
and FFrek3 shrugged and nodded toqwards supermarios reply a while back which did use s after all!

Mick

04-16-2005, 10:26 PM

(No "O").......and Freakums I will tell ya, that ya replies have 2 T's earlier, and 2 P's in the last reply. I'm thinking it isn't just the new members having difficulty with the game rules:D:D:p..

HinesDaMan

04-17-2005, 09:54 AM

I totally agree, Mick; this game is hard for the most skilled vocabularists. I do, however see how Freakums could cheat simply because he misspells words so regularly, few would realize that the word he used improperly actually uses the letter he omitted! (NO "N")

(BTW...I am rather impressed with myself for not using N in that really long sentence above...kudos to me LOL :D)

supermario

04-17-2005, 10:11 AM

Wow; I am blown away by those skills, Hines; It is awesome that you could think of a sentence that long, especially in this thread, lol; however, I have found that there is no way I'll be able to top that in this post, at least... possibly when we get to no "q" or no "x" again. (no "m")

Mick

04-17-2005, 10:29 AM

(no "L") And i'm amazed that you managed to get 3 M's into the first sentence of your post:D..I'm thinking everyone is confused now:p....Yes that was a good effort Hines, going to be hard to beat I reckon ;)

supermario

04-17-2005, 11:38 AM

But since HinesDaMan was doing the no "n" sentence, as opposed to the no "m" sentence (which happened to be mine), he has no problems whatsoever, and as a result, his entire Sunday has become more pleasing for both him and everyone else living on the planet Earth; possibly even everyone living in the entire universe.

HinesDaMan

04-17-2005, 02:51 PM

Thank you for the courteous words, they helped to make my day better, that's for sure. My hopes are that someone other than Super shall get letters X or Q next, so that the easy letters may go to new people, preferably myself. Sorry, Super. (NO "I")

supermario

04-17-2005, 04:05 PM

you needed no "j" hines, sry, but i'll do it, and the next one can be no "h"

Remember to help control the pet population; have your pets spayed or neutered... Hines said next... (no "j")

Freakums

04-17-2005, 07:14 PM

(no h)
actually, i'm trying to put two of each letter that io am supposed to omit into my sentences. exactly and precisly two, longness of the sentence changing with frequency of said letter in alphabet.
(or not)

supermario

04-17-2005, 07:21 PM

(no "g")Supermario thinks that the premise of this thread that involves formation of a valid storyline does not work well, at least so far; since nobody has really followed it anyways.

Freakums

04-17-2005, 07:30 PM

(no e) I think that the story-thing isn't working mainly due to a fact that it didn't exist? (look at the first post, mario, nothing is said about it!)

supermario

04-17-2005, 07:33 PM

(no "d") But Freakums, if you look through the posts, Mick specifically states that this was going to be a story-thing game, or at least it is more interesting that way.

Freakums

04-17-2005, 07:37 PM

(no c) oh, so he did. I assumed . . . ah never mind! i got an easy one here anyways: C!
now, for a second one! and now i ahev acheived my purpose of utterly confusing anynnewbies who ahoppen to sjkip some posts due to laziness! MEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHE!

supermario

04-17-2005, 07:39 PM

(no b)Freakums decided that the missing letter game was right up his alley.

Freakums

04-17-2005, 07:41 PM

(no a) welll, not missing letter game for me, is it? more liek two of each letter! :D
newbie confuser, c'est moi!

supermario

04-17-2005, 07:42 PM

(no "a")This folly of my fellow bunny hitter needs to stop very soon.

Freakums

04-17-2005, 07:46 PM

(no b)
yeah, i suppose so! I guess i'll start playing the game the way I am sopped to play it! Anyways, good night all!

supermario

04-17-2005, 07:48 PM

(no "c")And the entire world loved Freakums' last post due to his statement.

Mick

04-17-2005, 08:11 PM

(no D) I will just say that I was only making a suggestion about the storyline;) ....it is really up to the person who put this game in the forum to make the rules:) .... as long as they follow forum rules...

supermario

04-17-2005, 08:41 PM

(no "e")Oh, OK... I thought that individuals such as Mick and Arkacia had that much rights as mods.

Mick

04-17-2005, 11:00 PM

(no F) Well we do have the rights to decide what is allowed but we try to keep things interesting by allowing members to start games and decide how they are played so others can enjoy them. As long as it doesn't break the rules:)....

supermario

04-18-2005, 06:52 AM

(no G) Ah, I now have a better idea of what a mod can and can't do.

HinesDaMan

04-18-2005, 07:02 AM

I too was under an impression of a Moderator being an all-powerful, omnipotent being, infallible and omniscient too. (NO "H")

Freakums

04-18-2005, 07:30 PM

(no i)
ever wonder why mod rhymes with god? :rolleyes:

Arkacia

04-18-2005, 08:30 PM

(no J)

No HinesDeMan, thats what we want you to think, and Mick is in big trouble for giving away mod secrets :D:D.

pollovivo

04-19-2005, 06:51 AM

I think I came in at the most random possible moment :confused: ... (no K)

supermario

04-19-2005, 06:54 AM

(no l)Don't you think this debate between the mods is better off in the RG Ring?

Freakums

04-19-2005, 07:45 PM

(no m)
are you crazy, super? and ahve our poor little suicidal bunny dead in nothing flat? course, that could be because he is suicidal,but it is likely to be due to arkacia in the ring!

pollovivo

04-20-2005, 07:31 AM

Although... Mick does have that massive death tool which looks like it would hurt. (no n)

whisper1219

04-25-2005, 08:49 PM

This game seems hard but i'd give it a try, i'm usually alright at things like this! (no o)

Mick

04-26-2005, 02:40 AM

(no P)Massive death tool huh?....hmmm..that's a new name for it, haven't heard that before:D:D....ahem...oh the grenade?..yes it is a bit of a one shot wonder....I am wondering where it would go, boomerangs don't always come back:p

A hint for those having trouble leaving out the letter, get a smartie, marble, blu-tac, etc and sit it on the keyboard letter you are not using so you don't accidently use it.... otherwise we might start a new thread called "find the mistake in the missing letter game":D:p

Whew....beat that Hines:D

HinesDaMan

05-06-2005, 05:34 PM

That was most impressive Mick, but alas you posted all of that on the letter P, leaving me the letter after it to follow you...one that is very easy to ignore, I might add. Perhaps, when I get another vowel or tough consonant like S or T I would truly be able to shine. Until then though, I give my crown to as reigning Missing Letter Game champ! All hail the new King! (NO "Q")

Freakums

05-21-2005, 06:51 PM

Due to the long reply by Mick a while ago, I have decided to attempt to beat him with an attempt a word or two longer (or maybe longer) than the high before beginning. Fortunately, my reply will be more amazing; for I am not given for my reply an mere uncomplicated letter, but one applied throughout the entire language. Although I have proven my ability and talent to make a declaration in the game with a no "q" or "x" reply, I am fully proving to the entire forum now that I can and will complete the undertaking appointed to me in the game. And on that note, I bid you all a wonderful farewell from the RG Theatre of the omitted letter game, with the new title of the "Record Length Reply" in the game.

We will find out if anybody can beat my one hundred fifty-nine word entry in the game anytime in the near future.
