_________ HOW TO PLAY: EACH WEDNESDAY, I'll give you a word that's so unusual, no one will actually know what it means. We each have to invent a definition for it, just byhow it sounds. Try to make a convincing definition, because we'll vote on which is the right answer, and you get points for fooling people into voting for you. Playing this game online requires we use the honor system.You could cheat (look up the word, vote for yourself), but thatwould take the fun out of it, so we all agree not to..right? Try this game! It's fun, and it can be quite funny! ____________________________________________TO PLAY:1 - Write a convincing definition for this week's word.(Joke answers are ok and eligible to win if you get enough votes )2 - Then vote in the poll which answer is the real definition(One person has been given it, to submit.)DO NOT LOOK UP THE DEFINITION.DO NOT VOTE FOR YOUR OWN ANSWER--> Polling begins on Sundays.3 - Winner announced and new word given on Wednesdays.____________________________________________We'll play this weekly all month. Each week's game you win, wins you 1 point in the month's contest (click for scores).****************************************************************** THIS WEEK'S WORD:sternutation******************************************************************

Be aware if you happen to know the real definition, you may use it, but I'll end up asking you to be the dummy player this month (everyone is taking a turn at that anyway...it would mean you get 10 points but cant vote or receive votes (last week's dummy player won a contest point in a three-way tie, so it's really not so bad).

Where do we vote? When I click on the 'play' button it simply redirects me to the thread. Voting starts on Sunday. Till then, to play, write a fake definition to try and fool the most people into voting for yours as the real meaning of "sternutation". (Joke answers are acceptable.) On Sunday, I'll post the poll - and the notice posted about it will lead right to it when clicked.
