Here's an idea for multiple guesses like this that might help avoid problems (this could work for all the Hangman games).  If multiple guesses are made before the gamesmaster returns, the only guesses to count are all the guesses up to the first correct one.  Say the guesses are, in this order, T, G, E, U, X, R.  And say only E and R are correct guesses.  Well, in the game, T and G will be recorded as misses, E will be recorded as correct, and U, X, and R will be dismissed and players will have to guess them again.

Something like this could prevent the over zealous players from hanging the guy before the gamesmaster gets back from whatever s/he might happen to be doing.

That's interesting dweez.. but it might get confusing if you had made a letter guess and not realised that it had been rejected because it was after a correct guess before it.  Hmmmm... I give it some more thought though as it could work.

Thanks for that as you have proven yet again that it is NOT communicating by hand.  The hand may be involved at some point by some varying degree, but only the same way as saying that speach is communicating by use of my 3rd molar.

I was thinking about this as well.  The gamesmaster (the name I am giving the person who has put up the next word to guess) can have a "Used" section and a "Dismissed" section (and the "Dismissed" section can have a disclaimer note saying it was a list of still available letters that were dismissed because of the correct guess listed before it).  I know when I had this incident, I had forgotten the game for a few days so I just gave the incorrect guesses a free pass. but that was only because, like I said, I had delayed the game so much.

I used a vague definition instead of a hard and fast one and it invalidated the Uwe Boll kill and aborted the O.J. Simpson trail (his 3rd! ;)). I placed this very easy one in their place so we can move past my shame and onto something else.  ;)

Sorry for being retarded.

Where are you getting that it isn't?  It's body language is gestures.. and you make gestures by HAND...  And a hand is a body part...   It's communicating by hand...

Let it go, Jhb...

My mistake was using a loose definition instead of a specific one like the game calls for.

dweez, yer up!

I was going to ask you to reside over a re-trial as I was appealling - either that or I you could have called a mistrial or rejected it out of hand. I guess Wednesdays aren't good for the legal profession?

Was that directed at dweez or myself?

I think it was just directed at the conversation at "hand".
* dweez snickers

Ok, so let me see if I get this right.  This is just regular old hangman where a specific celebrity's life is at stake.  The answer and clue don't have to have anything to do with said celebrity correct?

That's true, but if you want I suppose you can make the word and clue be about the celeb on trial, if you want...  ;)

But then the answer would always be the 4 letter word rotter.
