RULES:
1. Changes can be replacing a few words, adding a few words, or deleting a few words.
2. They should not be big changes and the sentence should still make grammatical sense, but other than that, the resulting sentence can be as random as you want.
3. After you post, double-check the post before you to make sure that the previous post was the one you meant to respond to.
4. General forum rules apply.

EXAMPLE:
Person 1: "A bank robber gave my chiropractor a bone."
Person 2: "A bank robber gave my chiropractor a walrus bone."
Person 3: "A bank gave my chiropractor a walrus bone."
Person 4: "A bank gave C.S. Lewis's chiropractor a walrus bone."
Person 5: "A bank gave C.S. Lewis's acupuncturist a walrus bone."
etc.

So, to start us off:

A duck quacked merrily down the stream.

Rules:
1. Write only one sentence per post.
2. You must use the previous poster's highlighted word in your sentence.
3. You must highlight a different word than the previous poster's highlighted word.
4. After you post, double-check the post before you to make sure that the previous post was the one you meant to respond to.
5. General forum rules apply.

EXAMPLE:
Person 1: The temperature is very cold outside today.
Person 2: I love cold pizza!
Person 3: Love holds us all together.

Here we go!

Have you ever suffered from an embarrassment of riches?

Person one posts the Who (A tiger) in a Spoiler Box.
Person two posts the What (fell off a steep cliff) in a Spoiler Box, without looking at what the other person wrote.
Person three posts the When (his sister screamed) in a Spoiler Box, without looking at what either of the two people above wrote.
Person four posts the Where (in Hawaii) in a Spoiler Box, without looking at what anyone else posted.
Person five posts the why (because he had just run over a skunk) in a Spoiler Box, without looking at what anyone else posted.
Then, person five posts the whole story (A tiger fell off a steep cliff when his sister screamed in Hawaii because he had just run over a skunk) below the spoiler box so everyone can see it.

Rules:
-Posters can only post once in each round (e.g. if you posted Who, you can't post What, When, Where, or Why for that sentence - you have to wait for the next sentence to post again).
-After you post, double-check your spoiler box has showed up correctly so that the complete sentence is a true surprise.
- After you post, double-check the post before you to make sure that the previous post was the one you meant to respond to.
-General forum rules apply.

Also, a quick refresher if anyone is uncertain how to get a spoiler box to appear, there are two ways:
1) Click the button with a plus sign in a circle in the post header box; add the title (e.g. Who, What, When, Where, or Why) in box that pops up and then write your spoiler in the code that is populated.

2) Write the below in your post, replacing the "Who" with whichever sentence element you are posting for and using "[]" instead of "{}".

{spoiler title="Who"}Spoiler here!{/spoiler}

I'll start us off with Who:

An astronaut"

Person one would post something like this:
Change File to Mark

Person 2 would respond with:
File
Mile
Male
Mare
Mark

Change Poor to Lips.

Person 3 would then continue with:
Poor
Pool
Poll
Pill
Pile
Pipe
Ripe
Rips
Lips

Change Make to Pots

And so on and so forth. . .

Rules:
1. All words used must be four letters long. You cannot add or subtract a letter (e.g. you cannot turn "Goat" to "Oat" or "Ages" to "Cages" ).
2. No proper nouns
3. You may use as many metamorphoses as you'd like, but the object is to transform the word as quickly as possible.
4. After you post, double-check the post before you to make sure that the previous post was the one you meant to respond to.
5. General forum rules apply

So to start us off:

Change Mile to Salt

Rules:
1. After you post, double-check the post before you to make sure that the previous post was the one you meant to respond to.
2. General forum rules apply.

I wish chocolate bars grew on trees.

This is a pretty simple game to play: The first person posts a word and then the next person posts a word associated with the previous word or phrase. Basically, write the first thing that comes to your mind when reading the previous post!

RULES:
1. Keep the repeat posts to a minimum--be creative!
2. Short phrases are allowed, but please keep them to a few words if you must use them.
3. General forum rules apply.

EXAMPLE:
Person 1: Shoes
Person 2: Shoelaces
Person 3: Knots

This game was suggested by KingEdtheJust - thanks! We hope you all have fun with this game. {ym}:smile:

Walrus

Rules:
1) Please feel free to give any reasons you have for wishes, though they're not required.
2) General forum rules apply.

What are some of the crazy things that you have wished for? {ym}:grin:

Rules:
1) Don't use copyrighted characters.
2) Do be creative, both with answers and with questions.
3) Gifts don't have to be explicitly tied to a holiday, but they can be.

Example:
Poster 1: What would you give the man who has everything?
Poster 2: A great big box of nothing - he can put everything in it!
What would you give to the stressed holiday party hostess?
Poster 3: A major disaster that you can then turn into a minor disaster; once that has happened, any other problems will be insignificant!
What would you give to your favourite NW Mod?

To start us off:

What would you give to an astronaut on the International Space Station?

Rules:
1) Keep songs and videos clean; any videos embedded need to be family-friendly. If you link to a song with an instance or two of swearing or cursing, post a note with the link mentioning that. Explicit songs and videos are not allowed.
2) Don't post pirated songs. To the best of your knowledge, only post songs or links to songs that legally uploaded.
3) Please try to include links to sites where people don't need an account to listen to the music (such as Youtube, Soundcloud, etc.). However, if you can't easily find a link there and want to share a link to Spotify or some other such site, that is allowable. Please do try to mention the artist and title in your post, though.
4) Please don't just post a link; please do feel free to talk about why you like or song or comment on other people's songs. Extended discussions (more than a couple of sentences, or more than a couple of back-and-forth exchanges) should move to the Favorite Music thread in the Spare Oom, though.
5) Post only one or two songs per post; please don't post a long list.

What are some pieces of music you love? {ym}:smile:

A few ground rules:
1) Keep it clean and unoffensive; remember the forum rules.
2) If at all possible, please post directly to the forum rather than share a link to another site (by all means, include the source - just try to avoid someone having to leave the forum to view what you're sharing).

To start us off, a variation on a quote I first learned about in an engineering class - I think this might be the original, and it's attributed to Douglas Adams.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
