This is basically another word game, but every 52 posts a letter will be eliminated, the letter will be the last letter in the last word posted. Also every time a letter is eliminated the count goes down, so for example after 1 letter is eliminated, it'll be the next 50 posts, etc until we get to a point where no words can be formed with the remaining letters, in which case the game will start over.
To make things interesting, you must begin with the first letter of the alphabet that has not been eliminated after the round is complete and each following poster must begin the next word with the following letter that hasn't been eliminated.
The first round goes completely from the letter A to the letter Z (26 words), then it'll repeat from A again, allowing you to use two words for each letter.
An example:
post #52 is zealous, the letter "s" may no longer be used in any word, in any part of a word, and the next word could be "Abdicate"
As another rule, no vowel (With the exception of y as it isn't always a vowel) can be eliminated until 14 other letters have been eliminated, this is because vowels are necessary in order to write words and if they all get eliminated early on the game just becomes retarded as there aren't many words without vowels.
And finally, no word can be used twice, unless there is a situation in which only a small number of words exist with the remaining letter combinations (such as the last five letters being "A", "L", "O" "W", "H" and "Low" and "Hollow" are only a few words that can be done)
Let's begin:
