The Set Game

[LightFang]

For those of you who have not played this before, a concise description:

At the beginning of each round, the GM defines the set, or a rule which is used to determine the members of a set.

For example:

Rule: Any word which starts with the letter "A".

Thus "apple" is part of the set; "pear" is not.

The rest of the players have to guess this rule by making a post with these three contents:

1. A guess of the rule.
2. A guess of a member.
3. A guess of a nonmember.

For example, DarkFang may post this:

Rule: Words that begin with "L".
Member: Love
Nonmember: Hatred.

GMs have to update the list as players move along. Whoever guesses the rule correctly can be the next GM.

-----

Let's start with a simple one then.

"Limb" is a member of the set.
"Appendage" is not a member of the set.

 

[Neverwonagame3]

Four letter words?

Member: Lack
Non-Member: Obliterate

 

[LightFang]

Your rule is wrong.

Members: Limb, lack.
Nonmembers: Appendage, obliterate

 

[Neverwonagame3]

I'll then try the obvious one of words which start with L.

Members: Limb, lack, land
Nonmembers: Appendage, obliterate, war

 

[LightFang]

Your rule is wrong.

Members: Limb, lack, land, war
Nonmembers: Appendage, obliterate

 

[flyingchicken]

Monosyllabic vs polysyllabic?
Members: Limb, lack, land, war, think
Nonmembers: Appendage, obliterate, actuate

 

[Perfection]

Ends in a consonent
Member: Member
Nonmember: Igloo

 

[LightFang]

flyingchicken wins! You get to be GM now.

 

[flyingchicken]

This is going to be a tad hard to GM.

Members: Banana
Nonmembers: Jump

 

[Perfection]

Has at least one n

Members: Penis
Nonmembers: Butt

 

[flyingchicken]

Nope.

Members: Banana
Nonmembers: Jump, penis, butt

 

[Neverwonagame3]

Has at least two ns?

Members: Banana, nutritional
Nonmembers: Jump, penis, butt, arbitage

 

[flyingchicken]

Nay.

Members: Banana
Nonmembers: Jump, penis, butt, arbitrage (hint: "arbitage" doesn't cut it either), nutritional

 

[Perfection]

Triple vowel
Members: bikini
Nonmembers: thong

 

[LightFang]

Rule: If you move the first letter to the back of the word, it will spell the same thing.

Members: Banana, revive
Nonmembers: Jump, penis, butt, arbitrage, nutritional, cerise

*shakes head*

Members: Banana, cerise
Nonmembers: Jump, penis, butt, arbitrage, nutritional, bikini, thong, revive

Is this some word sum crap? Because I would be totally disapointed if it is.

 

[flyingchicken]

I dun gettit.

 

[Perfection]

word sums are where you take each letter and find it's position in the alphabet (so a=1, b=2, z=26 etc.) and then sum up the entire word to find some value.

Anyways my guess is food
Members: spuds
Nonmembers: pornography

 

[flyingchicken]

Naw, but (damning hint) close. "Food" rule is wrong.

Members: Banana, cerise, spuds
Nonmembers: Jump, penis, butt, arbitrage, nutritional, bikini, thong, revive, pornography
