Tonight we will be listening to the ramblings of the manipulative Kaa, who will be whispering three strange words to the six of you each round, each one secretly containing the name of a common animal. The letters in the name of the animals won’t be scrambled, but there will be exactly one extra letter in between each to slow you down.

The first word will be worth one point, the second word will be worth two points, and the third word will be worth three points.

You must post the name of the animal ON THIS THREAD. You may guess multiple times, but you may only guess once per post. I will not count edited posts or posts with multiple guesses. Spelling matters; capitalization does not. You must specify which animal belongs to which word in order to score a point.

Here is an example round:

1. AAAACAAATAAAAA
2. AAAAALAIAOANAAAAA
3. AAAAAHAOARASAEAAAA

In the first word, it contains the letters “C-A-T”, or “cat”. In the second word, it contains the letters “L-I-O-N”, or “lion”. In the third word, it contains the letters “H-O-R-S-E,” or “horse”. Please note that each letter in “CAT”, “LION”, and “HORSE” will contain exactly one letter in between (no more, no less), but the number of letters before and after vary.

The first player to post “1. Cat” will score 1 point, the first player to post “2. Lion” will score 2 points, and the first player to post “3. Horse” will score 3 points. Please note that players may guess for multiple words as long as they are on different posts (i.e. Arisa can post “1. Cat” and “3. Horse” and as long as she’s the first one to post correctly in their own posts, she will score points for both words).

I have an answer key that I will being go by but if someone finds a legitimate answer that I wasn’t counting on, then I will allow that too (shouldn’t happen but I will make this disclaimer now just in case).

The player with the most points at the end of seven rounds will win the Golden Power of Veto!
