Wheel of Mis-Fortune Game

[geekygecko.livejournal.com]

We've adapted a popular game show for a bit of summer fun.

1. One person provides a series of dashes to represent a sick!Wilsony word or phrase.  It can be a diagnosis, a medical test or procedure, the title of a sick!fic, an author, a summer hazard that could befall our favorite oncologist, etc.
   
   
   • Use a / between words.
   
   
   • Include any punctuation, such as apostrophes, hyphens, commas, etc.
   
   
   • List the appropriate category as a clue.
   
   
   • If you want to make the game go a little faster, you can provide the letters R, S, T, L, N, and E as part of your puzzle.
     
     But if you'd rather not and keep the suspense going, we're totally cool with that. :)
   
   
   • Here's an example to give you the idea:
     
     Category:  Diagnosis
     
     S __ __ R __ __ E N T R __ __ __ L __ R  /  T __ __ __ __ __ __ R __ __ __


2. You can guess up to two letters at the same time.


3. Wait until the person who posted the puzzle lets you know whether or not any of the letters are correct before anyone jumps in with some new ones.


4. Each time someone guesses correctly, the person who posted the puzzle will provide an updated version of the puzzle in that comment thread.


5. Once the puzzle has been updated, anyone can guess a couple of more letters, and so on until it's been solved.


6. The first person who solves the puzzle becomes the master of ceremonies for the next round, and starts a new comment thread.


7. You're welcome, yea, even encouraged to provide a link when someone solves your puzzle.

We'll provide the first one to get you started.

Okay, here you go:

__ __ __ __ __ - __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __

Hopefully I got the letter-count right :)

[geekygecko.livejournal.com]

I'll bite. :)

How about E and M?

[xgraciela.livejournal.com]

Good choice! :)

M __ __ __ __ - __ E __ __ E __ __ __ __ E / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __

can I have an E please, Bob?

[xgraciela.livejournal.com]

Sorry, reposted comment because I'm an idiot and thought that you wanted "I" and "E" - don't know why :D but still geekygecko got E already so everybody got "I" as a bonus :)

M __ __ I __ - __ E __ __ E __ __ I __ E / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __

[fleurione.livejournal.com]

lol, well, bonus letter for the win :P

that last word is confusing without two of the most frequent vowels....!

How about an A for 10?

[xgraciela.livejournal.com]

You know why is the word confusing? Because I obviously suck at this :P

The "I" I gave you was supposed to be in the last word as well. lol


M A __ I __ - __ E __ __ E __ __ I __ E / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ I __

bwahhah :P I always forget letters too, gotta write it down on a scrap of paper when I play :P

I can't atually win this one as I gotta go out, so even if I guessed I would be leaving the game in the lurch, but I'll try....

oh. oh I think I have it, damn :P

Is the first bit "Manic-Depressive" ? Dunno about the end bit as 'bipolar' doesn't fit, so that can be left for someone else ;)

[xgraciela.livejournal.com]

Yup! You got it right :)

M A N I C - D E P R E S S I V E / P S __ __ __ __ S I S

I added the matching letters also into the last word. It's a piece of cake now ;)

[moose-mcmoose.livejournal.com]

Last word is 'Psychosis'!?!?

I will feel like a fool if I am wrong D:

[xgraciela.livejournal.com]

Yes it is! :)

Your turn *pokes*

here some info about Manic-depressive psychosis, also called Bipolar disorder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder)

[fleurione.livejournal.com]

lol, after all that I figured out 'psychosis' just as I was leaving the flat but didn't want to post it & leave the game unattended :P nvm, there's always next time!

[moose-mcmoose.livejournal.com]

D: I feel a bad now.
