The "Vowels Only" Game revival.

**Silvuh** · 08-12-2007, 08:36 PM

I liked the idea of this game, so I'm attempting to execute it better. It's worth a shot...

Rules of posting a sentence or sentences:
In this game, a "Y" will be considered a vowel.
All consonants will be written as hyphens. This works better than underscores, because it's easier to tell how many consonants were taken out.
Use proper grammar. Don't capitalize vowels when they shouldn't be, don't forget to add apostrophes and commas when needed, and make sure you spell things correctly.
Post sentences, not words. A sentence should be complete, make sense, and, for the sake of the game, have more than four words that are four letters or longer.
If you want, you can post two sentences.
General forum rules apply to the sentences: no flaming or profanity.
Don't use names.
Only use words in the English language and dictionary. No Spanish, Japanese, Sweedish or whatever.
Write out numbers.
If you want to directly quote something that has a grammar error, add "[sic]" accordingly.

Example of bad a sentence:
"--i- I- o- -oo-" as "This is not good."
Mistakes: capital "I", missed a hyphen on "not", forgot the period at the end, not enough long words.

Example of a good sentence:
"--i- -e--e--e i- -u-- -e--e- --a- --e -i---." as "This sentence is much better than the first."

Rules of guessing a sentence or sentences:
Be serious. Don't guess something if your guess makes no sense.
You may guess once per post. Don't double-post.
Guessing will continue until a right answer is found.

Rules of giving hints:
Unveil all instances of a consonant if there have been two incorrect guesses or if no one has guessed in a day.
Don't unveil a consonant that only appears once unless there are no consonants that appear more than once.
Another kind of hint you can give... telling the general subject of your sentence. You can give the subject when you give your sentence or wait until after a few incorrect guesses to give a hint.

Common sense notes:
All vowels are showing, meaning a hyphen can not be a vowel.
Example: "---i--" can not be "burial".

Okay, I think I've covered everything, so I'll start now. Tell me if you think I should add, change, or remove a rule.

Guess this sentence:
--ea-e -ea- --e -u-e- -e-o-e -ue--i-- --a- I'- -ayi--.

What's with all the question marks?

**Silvuh** · 08-12-2007, 08:41 PM

I originally typed it up in Microsoft Word, so all the apostrophes and quotations became question marks. I edited those just now, though.

beaner692 · 08-12-2007, 08:42 PM

alright maybe Im dumb but I really dont get it

V3T_ddrultramix3 · 08-12-2007, 08:49 PM

My guess: Please read the rules before guessing what I'm saying.

Was I right?

im sure thats right

**Doug31** · 08-12-2007, 08:51 PM

I think there's a very high chance that's correct.

NarutoFoxDemon · 08-12-2007, 08:53 PM

I bet he was, ok he goes next

V3T_ddrultramix3 · 08-12-2007, 08:54 PM

Well, I'm pretty sure I am, so I'll go ahead and post the next one.

--- -a- -ee- a--i-- a -o- o- -o--- -e-e---y.

**Silvuh** · 08-12-2007, 09:01 PM

Sorry I didn't post, I was editing my first post some. Yes, you were correct.

V3T_ddrultramix3 · 08-12-2007, 09:08 PM

Mine is pretty hard, but once you relize what happened last month, you will get it fast.

**Silvuh** · 08-12-2007, 09:26 PM

I've been messing around with options in notepad, and I think I'm on the right track... I mean, with the hint you just gave... So I just have to ask, when you said "-o---", did you mean "-o-e--"? And for the first word, did you forget a "y" or a different vowel? I just don't think you'd start a sentence with "hmm", "tsk", or "shh".

EDIT: Oh, didn't think of "FFR".

(If you did mean "-o-e--"...)
FFR has been adding a lot of tokens recently.

V3T_ddrultramix3 · 08-12-2007, 09:45 PM

Very close, but one word is wrong.

Edit: -o--- is right. Not -o-e--.

Sapphire Rain · 08-12-2007, 09:54 PM

FFR has been adding a lot of songs recently?

**Silvuh** · 08-12-2007, 09:55 PM

Ooooooh, haha, wow, how did I not think of this?

V3T_ddrultramix3 · 08-14-2007, 02:46 PM

Sapphire is right.

**Silvuh** · 08-16-2007, 06:42 AM

Well, it's been four days since Sapphire got it right, so I'm gon'na go ahead and post another puzzle.

Guess this sentence:
I -ea--y -a-'- --i-- o- --a- I --ou-- -ay -i--- -o-, -o... I'-- -u-- -e- you -i-u-e --i- o-e ou-.

**HammyMcSquirrel** · 08-16-2007, 07:25 AM

I really can't think of what I should say right now, so... I'll just let you figure this one out.

**Silvuh** · 08-16-2007, 07:25 AM

Cookies! Your turn, Hammy.

**HammyMcSquirrel** · 08-16-2007, 07:37 AM

Lots of big words. I don't think it should be too bad.

A --i-i-ua--y -o-e--u- e--ou--e- -i-- -ea-e you -ee-i-- e---y a-- a-o-e --i- -ee- --e- you -i-- -e-u- -yi-- -a-e -o-- i- a -i---.

Edit: And yay for cookies!
