Ignoring **Tikki ** who was late to the game, it looks like I scored a 23.

22

Hey What Exit? - a couple other people put “diphtheria” and if I’m not mistaken, you meant “daiquiris” for your D-drink which a few other people had as well.

23

Oops, that was the problem with using the Find function to verify. I wasn’t expecting to score it myself. Thanks for the catch. I’ll pass on the next round.

Conclusion: I suck. Reason: I was going for the most popular answers because I’m a dumbass and didn’t read the rules properly. So, I scored a pathetic 12.

25

Mindfield - you were the only one who posted an actual “common” girl’s name starting with H, though. The rest of us were stretching it a bit :slight_smile:

26

My MIL is a Harriet, that was my first thought. How common does it have to be? Did we all have to say Heather? Hayley seems common enough these days. Helen seems common enough and has been for a long time. In fact it looks like a lot of people thought of Helen first. It is probably far more common than Heather.

27

Sorry I was too late to play. BTW, it’s “Scattergories,” isn’t it?

28

Aw, I’m not ripping on anyone’s answers. Just trying to give Mindfield some good vibes so he doesn’t feel so bad about his answers!

And, that’s the fun of Scattergories - you put down your answer and have a fun time arguing over whether or not people’s answers meet the criteria given. It’s all in good fun - just a game!

29

Okay, sorry, I thought you were nitpicking, my bad.

So ZipperJJ has the highest score so far?

Yeah, sorry about the misspelling.
Oh well, this is the first time this has been on here, as far as I know, so it stands to reason we’d figure out better ways (as we go along) to make it easier to play. One of these is having people keep track of their own score as they go along. I think that’d make it really easy. :slight_smile: Then giving the final score when time is up.

Idle Thoughts I think next time you need to say “9 PM MST on [this day]” - looks like some folks are getting excited about playing and not realizing your OP was for 24+ hours ago.

I’ll rustle up scores for everyone here, cuz I’m a little bored at work.

37

It’s over, people. :stuck_out_tongue:

It was over last night.

I guess it should be made longer in the future. Another thing the next game can change.

I would accept all the answers coming in now from people but I already said from the start just 24 hours and I’d feel bad to go back on my word and seemingly “change the rules” midgame.

38

Looks like these are my non-shared answers:

D

  1. Common female names (first only) - Dorothy
  2. Doper names - delphica
  3. Animals you’d see in a zoo - Dromedary Camel
  4. Diseases - Dysentery
  5. Body parts (inside or out) - Dura (lining of the brain)
  6. Video game titles - Duke Nukem

H

  1. Things you throw away - Hairball
  2. Vegetables - Heart of Palm
  3. Doper names - Happy Lendervedder
  4. Animals you’d see in a zoo - Heron
  5. Diseases - Hernia
  6. Types of money - Hungarian Forint
  7. Trees - Hemlock
  8. (Hey, Mindfield - I had “hand” as well, I think your “hands” matches)

W

  1. Things you throw away - Watermelon rinds
  2. Vegetables - White carrot
  3. Body parts (inside or out) - Whiskers
  4. Game shows - Win Lose or Draw

Looks like I scored a 17.

39

Ok here’s the scores as of the actual ending of the game…

NOTES: I know IdleThoughts is the MC, but since I had all the data handy I made some judgment calls. PLEASE (as part of the fun!) let me know if you disagree.

D:
counted “diapers” and “dirty diapers” as the same
counted “dog poo” and “doggy doo-doo” as the same
counted “dandelion” and “dandelion greens” as the same
did NOT count “diabetes” and “diabetes mellitus” as the same
H:
counted “haricots” and “haricot beans” as the same
did NOT count “HeyHomie” as two (written as one word)
counted “ha’penny” and “halfpenny” as the same
counted “hand” and “hands” as the same
did NOT count “Halo” and “Halo II” as the same
