Relay, is a kind of sports where each team member needs to contribute so the run can be completed. Relay baton is handover to another person so he can continue with holding the baton and run.
How do we start?
For every round, I will start the game by given a word in the below format:
Start: time
What you need to do is to change some letters from this word and make it to another meaningful word (For this case, it to change the word time to another word). Then change it again and again until you have 20 of them, like this:
1. tame (change 'i' to 'a')
2. came (change 't' to 'c')
3. camp
4. damp
5. lamp
6. lump
7. dump
8. jump
9. junk (change 2 letters, m to n and p to k)
10. ….continue until you reach 20.
If each time you only make 1-letter change, no point will be deducted from you. However, if you make more than 1 letter change, then points will be deducted like this:
2 letters change, deduct 1 point
3 letters change, deduct 2 points.
4 letters change, deduct 3 points and so on.
For completing the 20 answers, you gain 20 points.
The Trap System
To increase the excitement of this game, there is some trap system along the game. Every time when you PM me your answer, you also need to submit 4 words which the first word represent the first trap for answer 1-5, second trap for answer 6-10, third trap for answer 11-15 and last trap for answer 16-20.
For example, one your opponent PM me his answer and the trap like this:
My answers:
1. xxxx
2. yyyy
3. zzzz
4. …
My trap:
1. lump
2. junk
3. look
4. high
As you can see now, your opponent set lump and junk as the trap words which appear in your answer list too. But because ‘lump’ represent the trap for answer 1-5, but you answer lump in #6, so the trap is not effective and you are saved. However, your answer junk which is in #9, falls into his trap because his second trap (for answer 6-10) is junk!
So, whoever hit the traps, will lose 2 points each time. And the 2 points will transferred to the person who set this traps.
The bonus system
There is a word which I will select it as the bonus word. I will put a riddle about this bonus word so you could guess and try to put this as one of your 20 answers. If one of your answer hits the bonus word, then you gain extra 5 points.
What happen if someone set the bonus word as trap word?
If this is happen, the bonus word become void. No bonus word and no bonus point in that round.
What is the winning conditions?
There will be a few round until someone become the winner.
The first round is considered as warm-up round, no elimination.
Second round onwards, there will be elimination as per listed below:
If 16 and above, each round eliminate 5
If 11 – 15, then each round eliminate 4
If left 7 – 10, then each round eliminate 3
If left 4-6, then each round eliminate 2
If left 3, then eliminate 1
Final round….all those who has eliminated send me your trap word, then between the final 2, who hits the trap the least will be the winner
