Description:

Welcome to Writer Bingo Round 3!

For this round, all of the words are active verbs.

The game rules:

This game has been set up as a swap to ensure accountability. Each player will choose 25 words that will serve as the bingo card. Each day, I'll randomly pull 5 words and call them by posting in the comments section until someone calls (posts) BINGO by completing all 25 words on her/his their list.

I'll start calling words on Wednesday, Jan. 27.

Each player will send the winner a profile surprise valued at about $5 (which is less than the basic price of a paperback book). That's the winner take all part! I'll send the winner's name/address to the players.

How to win:

You MUST post Bingo! to the swap discussion area when you win. The first person to do so will be the official winner of the game. (In the last two rounds we've had multiple players waiting for the same last word to be called. So this new rule will require players to be on top of the game and the computer posting will determine who calls it first.)

It'll be a good idea for you to print out your list so you can mark off the called words each day.

I won't be playing, but will send out a postcard and prize. I will also send a consolation prize to the person with the least number of called words. :)

Group membership and 4.8 or higher rating required to play.

How do I get rated?

When you get your partner's name, send a postcard with a note. Be sure to put your name/forum name and WTA Writer Bingo Round 3 on the postcard so they'll know what it's for. When you get your postcard you can rate your partner. The actual game will continue until a winner is announced.

Recap

To play, you'll need to do the following:

a) join the swap

b) choose any 25 of the 100 words on the list below. Those 25 names will represent your "bingo" card. Post your list in the comment section before the last day to sign-up. Be sure to include the number and the word as it appears on the list for each of your choices. For example:

3) clarify

12) explain

27) calculate

The numbers must correspond with the way they are on the list and in numerical order. Again: Please keep them in the order they appear on the list. This helps in verifying winners.

c) when partners are assigned, send your partner a postcard greeting via snail mail

d) when a bingo winner is announced, mail the winner a profile surprise valued at at least $5.

Hope everyone has fun!

Oh, and I didn't mean it in a bad way... I meant, wiwhen you called "train" and you had written it twice, you called both of its numbers, counting it as one word. I re-read the way I worded it before and it sounded mean! I was trying to be informative. you have done a great job!! I could never even have thought this up!!

Artistic 02/18/2010 #

I e-mailed address and info to everyone yesterday. Check your e-mail. You'll need to send a profile-related surprise.
