And one of them was Madlibs.
If you're not familiar with Madlibs - https://www.madlibs.com/
I figure it might be fun to write one - and then the next person fills out WHICH EVER word they want to fill out - but QUOTES the whole thing - so that their new post has the WORD filled out.
And each person can only fill out ONE word (for now), until someone else fills in another. And keep in mind, you can be silly with your answers. For example, if we're doing one for Police Quest and the thing is [NOUN] you can put "cow" for the NOUN, even though a COW is never seen in Police Quest!
Have fun with it.
The things are -
ADJECTIVE - describes something (Green, Squishy, Cute)
ADVERB - describes an action (Quickly, Carefully, Silently)
NOUN - person place or thing (Car, House, Child.)
PLURAL NOUN - people places or things (Cars, Houses, Children.)
VERB - An action (Run, Jump, Swim)
EXCLAMATION - (Wow!, Oh!, Yuck!)
NUMBER - (5, 223, 16.5)
COLOR - (Red, Green, Blue)
NAME - (Bill, Fred, Lisa)
So - for starters, we shall do...
UPDATED GAME RULES (11/19/2021) -
