Welcome to Quadrogram!

Hello, FEF.
I was watching a scrabble commercial, and an idea popped into my head. So, I figured why not bring a similar concept here? I thought about how to make it work, and now I'm making it, hoping that it works. Also, the name idea was crack inspired.

Basically, how it will go, is that there will be a four letter word.
Every time you post, you need to post with the random number generator, putting it between 1 and 26, due to the number of letters in the alphabet.
The number you get will dictate what letter you have to work with.
With your letter, you need to use it to replace one of the letters in the four letter word, to create a new, actual word.
If you succeed, you get points. If you cannot, you lose a point. (This does not apply, if your score is zero)
I may deal out prizes, and I may add in some bonuses. It depends.
Since I've never tried anything like this, there may be kinks to work out, with how everything works.

Please be HONEST, by not deleting your post to try to get a new number, or lie about your score. The crew can see when posts are deleted, and everyone can see and check your score, by looking back.
If you question if a posted word is real or not, look it up, and if it is indeed not a word, tell me, and I'll handle it. In addition to that, if you think that somebody might question the word you post, and you know that it is a word, then provide proof within your post, to save us all the trouble.

Well, I do hope this game works well. I shall add a list for what letter goes with what number, but it's really just in order, from A being 1, to Z being 26... But, I will put one up anyway, and the first word shall be posted up, soon. Good luck!

FAQ

This will be used to list any questions that I am asked, so that it can benefit everybody. Naturally, the name of whoever asked will not be divulged.


1. Can we use foreign words?
Well, English is basically a mixture of a bunch of foreign words put together, really. If the foreign word is recognizable in the English language, such as sake, or even certain Spanish words that are commonly used, such as hola, then yes, you can use it. And I do mean WORDS, not foreign letters.

2. Are names accepted?
Why, yes, they are. After all, all items have names, so I don't see why a human name would somehow not be acceptable. That's my reasoning.

3. What would you consider is too far fetched?
I will accept certain foreign words and people's names, but slang words, or Internet speech is going too far. Those aren't real words.

4. I found this site as a source for my word, but you didn't accept it, why?
Because certain words are not actually real. Some sites say that a word is real, but it is, in fact, not. I shall compile a few sites to NOT source from, as I find them.
Urban Dictionary

5. Do you accept acronyms, roots, or suffixes?
No. No, I do not. Sorry.

6. Am I able to keep my bonuses?
I will clarify from now on, if you are able to keep a bonus to use at any time. Some bonuses will be strictly available for just one particular post. Also, some will be outstanding, for all who can achieve them first.

Score Board

This will be used to keep a basic track of everyone's score. It will be updated every page or so. To help me with being able to update this easily, it would be helpful if you posted your current score in your posts.
*I've decided that I shall award 5 points to people who successfully create a word, and detract one point, if they fail. I feel this will help balance the score better.*

((Question: Can we use foreign words in this game? For example Korean or Japanese word such as sake or dooki. Do these count or it's just all English word?

EDIT: T. Oy, I'm out. sweatdrop ))
