Leaflet?

[JailBird]

80 page leaflet? doesn't seem likely. =P

Newspaper?

[Svelter]

Manifesto?

[Trollhammer]

Still no, but leaflet was closest so far..

Does it have to be the exact word? Or would a synonym do?

[Svelter]

Three guesses for me...

Manifold?

Document?

Pamphlet?

I still get the idea this is gonna go on for ages....

[Trollhammer]

Winner!

Pamphlet was the correct word, and the exact word i was thinking of.

Egocracy?

(Not even sure whther that is a real word :p )

Would be Egocism I think, although I don't think that's right.

[JailBird]

solipsism?

[Svelter]

Correct! I'm glad I'm not the only one who knows that word, although, admittedly, I wanted it to last longer.

Over to you, JailBird.

Bollocks, this game is surprisingly frustrating!

Erm...company?

I get the idea this is a bit more simple than I think.

[JailBird]

Heheh, thats why I created it ;) I knew alot of people will get fustrated with it, I know i did with the "phamplet".

You are correct!

Correct as in saying it is fustrating.


Wrong answer though.

[Svelter]

Bastard! I actually shouted 'shit' when I saw that...

Erm...group?

Nope, it isnt "bastard"

Not group either. =P

Oh oh oh! I have a good feeling about this one!

It's in my screenplay about a crime syndicate. I think it means that?

[JailBird]

Damn ya, reppage for getting that one right!

Your turn.

This may be hard or really easy. Reppage anyway but not if you get it straight away.

[JailBird]

Hyperactive? =P

[The Mna]

ebullient?

[Vercci]

high? :p

[Svelter]

ebullient?
Correct. Need to do some harder ones...

Over to you 'The Mna'.

[terrorbite]

Ebullient?! Oh come on, I think The Mna cheated to find that so quick :p

[Svelter]

I propose that people search the definition in Google before they put it up just to make sure that it can't be found through cheating. Either that or use a real dictionary to stop cheating...

[JailBird]

I decided, instead of everyone taking it in turns, would you find it easier if anyone was allowed to submit? Or should we keep with the current way it runs. As you can see "the mna" is taking a while to respond, so shall we just allow anyone to submit? BUT: You have to of atleast answered one correctly recently, possibly a leaderboard started?

Would like your feedback on this idea.

[Svelter]

Erm, I think the mna should be given a bit more time really. At least today to reply.

[The Mna]

noun.
very great destruction or injury

don't bother Googling ;)

[JailBird]

Immobility?

[The Mna]

nope

[JailBird]

Devastation?

[The Mna]

nope, getting closer though

[JailBird]

Destruction?

[The Mna]

Keep trying.

(though I suppose it's worth mentioning that the word a definition is defining wouldn't be in the definition
i.e. very great destruction or injury)

[JailBird]

Devastate?

[The Mna]

nope.. I'll post when you guess it... or ask for a hint.

[JailBird]

Keep trying.

(though I suppose it's worth mentioning that the word a definition is defining wouldn't be in the definition
i.e. very great destruction or injury)

I noticed that just as i posted it =p

HINT PLX.

[CrazyQuasar]

Obliterate?

[Svelter]

Annihilation?

[JailBird]

REMEMBER: It mentions injuries too, im sure annihilation would be death ;)

[Svelter]

An annihilated leg...

Disability?

[The Mna]

Hurm.. I'm not sure if this hint will be useless to you or make it obvious, but here goes

Hint: physics engine

[JailBird]

havoc?

[The Mna]

yep.

[JailBird]

Wahey!

conjunction 1. (used to connect grammatically coordinate words, phrases, or clauses) along or together with; as well as; in addition to; besides; also; moreover.

Good luck all!

[The Mna]

and?

[JailBird]

Yep

I thought i'd go for something too simple.

You win =P

[Svelter]

There aren't really enough conjunctions to pull that one off.

[The Mna]

noun.
an assembly of a public nature for open discussion.

changed the words around a bit so google wouldn't pick it up ;)

[Svelter]

or a mass-debate?

[The Mna]

Nope. Keep guessing. I'll post when someone guesses it or asks for a hint.

[poliobear]

Q&A?

City council meeting?

[The Mna]

nope.

The way I reworded the definition might throw some people off, hopefully this is closer.

noun.
an assembly, or meeting place (of a public nature) for the purpose of open discussion.

[Svelter]

Forum?

[Пилот™]

Meeting?

[guiltystinger22]

Sorry if it's only one word at the time, but the first post dosen't say so and I CBA to check seven pages of posts.

[The Mna]

sticking it in her pooper could have all of those effects, therefore the word is buttsecks :eng101:

[sursmiley]

?

...lol?!

[Svelter]

Even though Sursmiley guessed with half the dictionary he still couldn't get it right. Keep trying.

[sursmiley]

He? HE?!?
I'm a GURRRRL!

[JailBird]

Bah, it isnt really fair to guess 59063457348956 times in the same post ;)

This is truely a hard'un though. BTW: HI MUM!

I've been sat here for a good while trying to guess. uuh. Terrorise? It's the "or make" that makes it all confusing.

[Svelter]

Yes, it's a hard one because it's a word we all know but don't use very commonly. It reminds me of that pokemon that looks like a pink rabbit with spikes on it - but that might just be synaesthesia kicking in.

Plussage to he whom guessed correctly.

disoriented?
frustrate?
baffle?
befuddle?

[Shiny]

Perplex?

[Svelter]

Yep, it's from my residential dictionary.

I have a feeling this word will be found in an article about the sailor hostages.

[Shiny]

No, no, no, no, no and no, you won't :)

I opened a dictionary at a random page, saw a word and though "eh? Never heard that before"

So there you go.

[The Mna]

Fine?

Good?

Phlegmatic?

It's obviously in the middle of the dictionary seeing as though it was random.

[Shiny]

[The Mna]

So, The Mna, I opened a dictionary, found either the word "nice" or "good" and though "I haven't heard that before!"?

So, The Mna, I opened a dictionary, found either the word "nice" or "good" and though "I haven't heard that before!"?

Sadly no, Jimmy.
