Wheel Of Mis-Fortune

Wheel of Mis-Fortune Game

Last summer GeekyGecko adapted a popular game show for play in Camp.  It was the most popular game we've ever run, so this summer it's back!
 

  • 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. Here's an example to give you the idea:

      Category:  Diagnosis
       _ K _ L L / FRA _ T_ R _
       
    • You can guess up to two letters at the same time.

    • 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.

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

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

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

    • 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.

Category: Diagnosis

Yes! You got it!
Sorry it took me so long to answer earlier.
I got distracted by reading an old fic :).

lol - I got distracted by having a shower - they need to invent a waterproof IPAD :)

when you have time let me know whether you like the ipad. I'm planning to buy one during my next trip to the US - because it costs so much less than in Europe.

Oh I love my IPAD - it was a present too so I didn't have to buy it :) Not a substitute for my computer but handy for all sorts of things. I haven't got 3G on mine so can only connect at home but still a nice gadget to play with.

I feel mildly guilty at buying myself a toy I don't need. Lucky you to get it as present :).
