I think this may belong in "forum games" instead, except it's not quite so random like the games there.
Admin feel free to move the thread as appropriate.
The objective is to come up with a a few phrases or sentences that form some sort of riddle/clue to a specific level in a Lemmings games. (I have in mind the kinds of clues you may see in a crossword puzzle, but feel free to be creative, while avoiding being too straightforward or convoluted.) The next person guesses the level, identifying it by the level name, and then post a riddle/clue to some other level.
Rules for the riddle/clue:
- Avoid all words from the level title, including derived words such as synonyms (ie. same meaning words or phrases), grammatical derivatives (ie. "lines", "linear" from "line"), compound words & word embeddings (ie. "outline" from "line"), etc. I suppose some exceptions can be made for really generic words like "a", "the" etc. As it's just a game, use common sense and just stick to the spirit of the rule.
- Banned words (including derived words as above) that must never be used: lemming, any species of rodents, climb, float, block, bomb, explode, bash, build, mine, dig
Rules for taking turns:
I forgot how exactly it was done in the past in these quiz games, but after guessing the answer to a riddle/clue, please wait for up to 24 hours for the riddle/clue poster to confirm your guess as correct or not. If confirmed, or if no respond after 24 hours, only then should you go ahead and take your turn to post the next riddle/clue. I guess we can also move on if there were no correct guesses after 24 hours.
[updated: you may also call "open floor" if it's your turn but you don't want to come up with the next riddle/clue. In that case anyone can come up with the next one, and the game will continue whatever's posted first]
Avoid repeating levels that have been used already. As it's just a game, I don't want to actually keep track of exactly which levels were used previously, so let's just say don't repeat a level until at least 5 other levels have come into play.
For now we will stick with Lemmings 1 levels. We can propose to move on to levels from other Lemmings games when it becomes too repetitive to not do so.
