Fence Rusting

click for specs (http://johnbdigital.com/misc/fence_4745.htm)


if you shoot fence alone it will be better, this shot is a part of the fence.
post Fence clearly that will be fine for sure.

[John_B]

Well two times a fence doesn't count for F ???
Here is another F

Flower

But honestly I am surprised this is still going with such strict rules and so many not accepted messages :(

But honestly I am surprised this is still going with such strict rules and so many not accepted messages :(

Your previous F of Fence was accepted but because E was not accepted then we need E again before F, but then you posted Fence Rusting which is difference than fence and it is not accepted, but this flower is a big accepted.
So the rejected posts are not matching the rules, and i want people to be simply posting rather than choosing many shots that i and others don't know what are they.

Fencing is simple known thing, and the rusting is well known as well but rusting is for R and not F.
i will not post: Tareq's car for T, so Fencing Rusting is refering to rusting and not the fence.
I don't know how to clarify and simplify the rules, it is seems we should remove all or most rules.
As long there are many posts accepted and we are in 4 round so then no excuses.

[Justleesa]

i want people to be simply posting rather than choosing many shots that i and others don't know what are they.

it would be a great way to learn new things...:(

[Tareq]

it would be a great way to learn new things...:(

Maybe, but then i have to keep many dictionaries and encyclopedias to check every new post that i don't know about it, in this case it is non-sense to keep some rules.

We will see in later rounds, if this game is no longer going up then i should cancel some rules or changing few, Meanwhile, keep posting nice clear well known shots.

I can't see the picture as it is on flickr which is blocked in my area.
But i think open is not accepted, what open can show us, choose something decent such us: Orange, Ox, Oil, Olive, Oxygen[LOL],...etc.

For what it's worth Tareq here is the picture I posted. You should be able to see it now...

OK, i have another Game where someone can choose a word or number and then someone post thid word or number alone.
Open is an adjective, it can be used as an order, so i don't think it is clear of a subject, the shot is nice though, but the word your choose doesn't seems acceptable, Door is a subject but open is an adjective to it.

[dilorenzo1954]

I guess I should have looked at all the pages to see what I was getting into:lol:

Can I try again??
O for Olives

Å?I'm not sure if the rules have changed during the game but:
1- The shots are in order of the Alphabet Letters: A > B > C > .... > Z. Then start again from A. Is å after z in the Finnish alphabet? Here in Denmark it would be z - æ - ø - å :)

BTW, I make the pictures especially for this game, that's what makes it fun - and if somebody posts a picture quicker than me, well, then I have one for the next round :)

Oh, and about the most difficult letters (X,Z,...), how about allowing things with the letter somewhere in the (first?) word?

WOW, so scary shot.
I like it.
About X or Z, i think i posted a new rule of posting a shot that containing that difficult letter even in second of the word.
we will find a solution to it, and if you have a good idea then please share us, at least i would like to keep this game going but seems people felt uninterested to it.

Hi Tareq!

I was thinking about the rules of the game; how about allowing other languages than English? It could serve two purposes:

1 - Helping the game along. It may sometimes be easier and more intuitive to find a good word in ones mother-tongue or another language than English. It would also help to avoid repetition.

2 - Being interesting and educational. We get to learn something about other languages and cultures.

Since this is in a way a linguistic game, we could all provide a tranlsation between the chosen language for the word/photo and English, or our mother-tongue when the word is in English.

You know something, i forgot what are my rules, did i mention that this game MUST be in English? i don't think so
All languages are allowed, but yes, i prefer with explanation and translit if possible.
