"Add a rule" word game

Thread Games
1

  1. I’ll post a rule

  2. The next poster responds with a word that adheres to that rule.

  3. That poster then copies and pastes the first rule to the end of their post, then adds another rule.

  4. The next poster responds with a word that adheres to both rules.

  5. That poster then copies and pastes the first two rules to the end of their post, then adds another rule.

  6. Etc…

  7. Once we reach a point where no existing word adheres to all of the rules, we start over. I’d say 3 votes to start over starts it over. The point is not necessarily to stump the next poster.

Short example:

Etc… I’m pretty sure at that point we’d have to start over.

Got it? Good! Let’s go!

According tothis, we have reached the end.

10

There are two on that list. One looks like 3 syllables, but is in fact two.

ETA: make that one. The other one looks like two syllables but has three (Sana’a).

11

Then it has to be Baguio (I looked up how it’s pronounced, it’s “bag-yo”).

Since Riemann has determined we have reached the end, I guess you should be the one to restart us.

Post a rule!

That’s not a comprehensive list, so I’m not sure we’re at the end… but it’s getting tricky for sure! Just a mom, I’ll make a new post.
