Scrabble Your Medium — Challenge Alert!
A new challenge for the challenge and/or Scrabble lovers
If you enjoy prompts AND think the “100 things in 20 minutes” is more boring than a comment from Grimsby Hackney, you’ve come to the right place.
To enter the “Scrabble Your Medium” competition, follow the rules.
Rules
- We accept any Scrabble Dictionary
- Your article shall include at least one picture of a Scrabble board (homemade or not).
- You can participate several times.
- The challenge will end on January 15, 2023, or later, depending on the number of participants.
- Tag me in your article for scoring purposes.
Scoring system
- 1 point per clap.
- 10 points per comment on your article (multiple comments from the same person count several times).
- If people in the comment section give you points, we will add them to your total (see my comment here for example). One person cannot give more than 100 points in the comments of a given article.
- 87 points for publishing in The Pub.
- 242 points for making fun of Grimsby Hackney in your article.
- 300 points for the first article in the contest, 200 for the second, and 100 for the third.
- 4,200 points for story #42 in the challenge (I’m doubtful there will be one).
- You get a double score if your article is a poem.
- You get a triple score for using the word “blowjob” in your submission.
Additional info:
- The final number of points for claps and comments will be counted at the end of the challenge, currently set for January 15, with a possible extension.
- We will add up the points from your different submissions.
- We reserve the right to add scoring rules later.
Example of scoring
Annie Trevaskis published the first article (by the way, this challenge exists thanks to her comment here):
Too bad for her that she didn’t know the scoring rules before publishing.
Anyway, her score would be:
- (300 — first article) + 231 claps + 10x6 comments + (17 points in the comments) = 608
- blowjob bonus x3
- Total = 1,824
Prize money
- Winner: nothing. You already won. What could be better than this feeling?
- Second place: I will add a link to one of your articles (your choice) at the end of 2 of my articles.
- Third place: I will send you a postcard (snail mail or electronic — your choice).
- Fourth place: $11 paid to the charity of your choice.
- Fifth place: I will add a link to one of your articles (your choice) at the end of 5 of my articles.
- Sixth to Tenth place: I will add a link to one of your articles (your choice) at the end of 1 of my articles.
- Eleventh place and further: to be determined.
Best of luck to all of you!
