Sweet. Go for it, thayett. Pick an obscure word;
badger regular players to submit their bluffs; encourage new players to join; keep track of who sent you what; watch the spelling when you post the entries; and end up with the scoreboard at the end. You will find that it takes a bit of work, but it is
fun. Happy Dashing.
Okay then. Word is PARAPRAXIS.

Don't be bashful about making corrections. -realjohnboy-
how did i get to 0 points now? did i miss or flub something? do i get minus points for not guessing right? help..confusion.
We started a new game after Clary's round, onyx, so everyone started over from zero...
Great minds think alike, Jespah.
However, I don't know how that explains us.
thayett.... thanks for being the Dasher!!

Okay. Thanks. I'll be sure to wait til she has a chance to submit a bluff before posting the defs and such.
I'm in.
Welcome to A2K, thayett! Check out some of the other word and trivial games!
Thanks!!! Nice of y'all to be so friendly.
So we try to guess what the definition of the word is, and if we don't know, we submit a bluff...correct?
sorry, i'm back. running to catch up. what's that word again?

Kind of. You submit a bluff even if you know the answer, because you get points by (a) guessing the correct answer and (b) getting other people to choose your bluff. The complete rules are in the first post of this topic. The current dasher (person to whom you PM the bluff definition) is thayette. She compiles all of the bluffs, puts them in random order and posts them when ready. We get a certain amount of time to guess (we do the guessing on the thread) and once we're all done, thayett will post the results. The current word is: PARAPRAXIS
Hi thayett....
I sent my bluff definition today.... thanks for the reminder!!
individual, welcome to the Balderdash game!!

Okay... I've got almost everyone's bluffs... I'm going to go ahead and post all the options at 10:00 PM Pacific standard time on Thursday. That's good, right?
