I understand that there is a Forum game that has this idea but for Pokemon species names.
Why not English words? I have noticed some people saying "Sorry for my bad English" in their posts so perhaps this could be a -gasp- educational game. If you cannot think of a word, the previous poster wins and you should gracefully congratulate them. I was introduced to this game from a forum on Fanfiction.net and it was thought of in 2007. I'd like to see this thread get used and find out how good everyone's vocabulary is. :] Rules 1. Use English words only (I suppose British English is acceptable ;]) 2. Also post the definition of the word you use as you remember it. If you want, write a sentence illustrating the definition. 3. No using the -ing suffix. It is a cheap way to win. 4. Please do not use a dictionary to come up with words, use your brain instead. 5. If someone has won, please don't start the next chain with a winning word, then it is unfair for the next player. The first word is: Cooperative (Being willing to work with another person or being, can be used to describe a living being or an inanimate object) The printer was being cooperative with the secretary and did not require any percussive maintenance to fulfill its purpose. -------------------- Avatar by Cycloneblaze at Cycloneshop II Banner by http://gpx.plus/user/eevee64 Banner by http://gpx.plus/user/Baymax |
