Okay I'm going to post the instructions now so everyone that signed on to participate hopefully has a chance to review the rules and stuff :D.
So far 14 people have shown interest. So I will divide it into 2 groups. 1-7 and 8-14.
I will post the categories for each group. You will use the first initial of your last name to complete the list. The first person to post the list from each group will go into a head to head with each other to win the overall game. The game is going to start Saturday. Because I'm in eastern time zone I will wait until 2pm est to post each groups categories. I will post an example here so you understand what I will be posting. It's really not that complicated. There's no edits and absolutely no chatting in the actual game posts. If you want to discuss it chat in this post. So here's the example. And I will post the answers using my letter for how it works :lol:

Get it? Each group will get different categories. So be sure you know which group you're in. It's based on how you signed up to give it a go :lol:
Then you will try to be first in your group to answer all 12 with the first letter from your last name. Then group one winner will go against group two winner to ultimately win the giveaway game . Everyone else will be thanked for playing :lol:

Since I'll be at the orchid show in East Lansing, I will most likely be MIA, unfortunately. Bummer, I really like Scatagories.

ok I think I get it. Mb on the sign up list we should edit to add the first letter of our last names? I don't know the real names of people in here so it would be a handy list?

Just use the last letter of your name. I'm trusting that everyone will do the same. Like in my example. You say it when you post your answers. Am I making sense ? I would hope everyone would follow and not cheat. Like if there last name stared with x that would be difficult :lol:
