So we had a bit of discussion for the Tournament (http://www.isketchforum.net/anyone-tournament-t3763.html):

lets keep palindromes hehe....

i say keep it as spelling for a change :)

Why don't you have a poll? ;)

So we shall. Would all tourney players select the list you wish to choose for the tourney. The poll will close in 5 days.

Please also be aware that I'm choosing to display names with votes so that I can only count the votes from people who are playing :)

Haha db, I didn't think you'd really make a poll! But yes, it's the best way to decide :) Although if a player objected to one of the other wordlists, you'd be obliged to make another poll! Dangerous precedent but let's not go there :p.

I will vote for one as soon as I remember what it feels like to play them, which may be on the day of the final :s

I was quoted from a post in another thread! :eek:

So i voted for spelling mainly because I think its ironic to have a spelling game in a drawing game without letters...

Uh. Palindromes is epic, although it doesn't look like we'll be doing pali. :'(

Or homophones? I'm probably overcomplicating it too much now though...

Ugh... I hate palindromes. They're sooooo annoying. You think that you've got the word, but there are always more palindromes between two palindromes. I mean... it's like... you think that the word is 'devil lived', but it's 'devil sinned, Dennis lived'. WOW... I made up my own palindrome (or palindromic sentence?)! WOOOHOOOO! I must get an award... lol... :razz: :twisted:

'devil sinned, Dennis lived' - there were quite a lot like that, but I removed (or hopefully removed!) them all before I originally submitted the puzzle list, as I thought names wouldn't be very good in a puzzle. :smile:

I've always thought palindromes makes your brain (as a guesser) think in completely different ways to any other of the sets of puzzles...

Although I like both lists myself, the last wordlist in the final will be Spelling :)

Also Antonyms, but that needs more work on it.... when I have some time. :sad:

Palindromes is not that bad really. It requires some thought about guessing, but hey, doesn't Expert, Spelling or Anagrams take some thinking too? :P

I'm sure some other people can help you :)
