this is a game we used to play as kids. i edited it a bit to match the environment. see if you find it interesting.
i name a letter and the next poster has to give a list of words starting from that letter, namely,
1. a girl's name
2. a boy's name
3. a flower
4. a fruit or vegetable
5. an animal
6. a town or a country
and leave a letter for the next poster.
this is more fun when you play the original form in a group, it goes like everyone in the group gets a chance to name a letter and everyone playing has to form their own list for each letter. there are 10 points for each word but it gets divided by the number of people who have written the same word. it is quite hard with over 30 letters in our alphabet and when consonants and vowels are joined it forms a new letter. and you have to finish your list before the person who finished first counts to 100.
well, since none of those rules can be applied here lets see how it turns out with the english alphabet!
the letter is... K!!
1. Kayla
2. Kyle
3. Kansas Feather
4. Kiwi
5. Kangaroo
6. Kuwait
X
I think you just killed the thread.

No, I just made it challenging :)
when we used to play the game, if somebody killed the game by an impossible letter (the game will never end if noone gets a complete list, as it is them who start counting to hundred) we cancel the round and start over. but that's only if, 'nobody' gets a complete list, and i think we have over 7000 competitors!
<heating up the tar and feathers> We handle troublemakers a little differently here! >:-)

Oh sush, i was typing before you posted that, i just got busy for a sec is all. :angel:
I pulled mine so "Xhianil" could stay up on the list! I meant no one should call for letter X again.
You must be feeling better - I sense a bit of sassiness! ;)

Crap, I was wrong in my guess. You can do අ or ற்

haha my phone couldn't display the two characters (it only showed 2 blank rectangles) so i was wondering what on earth they could be!!
well අ is from my language alright and it's the equivalent for A, and i know a bit of ற் containing language, but as far as i know ற் is not used in the beginning of a word!
anyway for the benefit of the english speaking majority here i'll stick with R
