Collective Consciousness Hangman
help
From the mind of Projoy via The Banter Page: "One person sets a conventional hangman problem, but only other players are allowed to reveal the letters or add lines to the scaffold. Other players take guesses in turn as to which letters are in the word. The players who arbitrate over what letters are in the word are not allowed to confer. The shape of the word can only emerge through tacit mutual consent - via, in other words, the collective consciousness." (Winning move is "hanged")

S _ A T U L A, I state "H".
WTF?
[Projoy] Where in the name of Brian McBride did you get these graphics?
No P
Apparantly there's no P, which means we either have to do some Mornington Dictionary, or maybe start inserting/removing letters. [Projoy] Shame you weren't at the Pilg on Saturday; I already owe you a pint for the mc5 logo, and these graphics are wonderful.
Der Führer
Ah ha! There he is. I reckon this has to be a SWATULA. - An implement used by Nazi surgeons in the operating theatre. It assists in the elimination of insects.
RUBBISH!
[BtD] Negative - I suggest SHATULA, a device for scooping poo out of a litterbox.
None
No, no, it's quite clearly a reference to SCATULA, the rockingest jazz-singin' cat on the vampire scene, man.
[Collective Consciousness] I take it by your silence that it wasn't SHAMELA, then?
None
Personally, I have a sneaky suspicion it's S7ATULA (the 7 is silent).
Adjudication
Seems like we need an adjudication. This is jolly good fun though, and I look forward to the next one.
None
Isn't the point of the game that we adjudicate ourselves?
Well...
[MF] Yes. But someone presumably has to have the final word?? I mean I feel that DrQu+xum has a point, but I quite like your answer too.
bossybossybossy
Aaaaaargh! I'm really crap at being on a committee (or even working on a team for that matter - that's why I just don't do it). I know which word I want it to be and I just don't understand why you lot are dithering about agreeing with me!!!!*Fails dismally to see the point of the game if it takes more than a week to spell 'spatula' and heads off to Ikea for retail therapy and a large hotdog*
cock
[pen] Sorry, I put the cock up it by denying the P earlier. Any chance that decision be revoked?
the long grass
Let's treat that one as a practice run, shall we, and set a fresh one...
