The recent stealing of CC's avatar has made him turn into a megalomanical omnicidal maniac who is now obsessed with hanging everyone he can get his hands on! You have to save his victims before it's too late!
Hangman is a word puzzle where participants have to fill in a blank word or phrase by guessing letters (but CC has stolen the vowels, so you can't guess those normally). Correct guesses fill in the appropriate spots, but get a guess wrong and one part of CC's victim is filled in the gallows. Just six wrong guesses and his victim is dead forever! You may also guess the entire phrase if you think you know what it is, but a wrong guess is penalized just the same.
To aid you in your attempt to stall CC's convoluted omnicidal tendencies, you'll gain points for each letter blank you fill, which will let you purchase superpowers--but be warned, with each purchase the price goes up!
* Buy a Vowel: Hire a thief to steal one of those vowels back, but be warned that you'll be penalized for wrong guesses as usual!
* Safe Guess: Make a guess without worrying about the consequences for failure!
* Gimmie: Fill in a random letter! Might be very useful or not very useful at all.
* Panic Button: Blows up the current puzzle and starts a new one, with about half of your guessed letters (chosen randomly) and penalties retained. A panic button use will only be honored if the first poster after an update uses it or if players reach a consensus on using it.
A few ground rules wrote:
1. Each person may guess one letter per update. Out of mercy and to encourage multiple players, all guesses after an incorrect guess will be ignored during an update. You may guess those letters again.
2. CC stole the vowels, so you can't use them unless you use a superpower to steal one back! and "Y" is sometimes used as a vowel, so yes he stole it). To avoid confusion, you must explicitly state you are buying it.
3. Play the game legitimately. This is multiplayer co-op, and griefing will not be tolerated.
4. Captured or killed members may not participate. This may be subject to change.
5. CC is an American. Expect him to use American standards for spelling (e.g. "color" instead of "colour" and "realize" instead of "realise").
