I am starting up a new book game.

Once upon a time, Vanna White called it quits. Nobody could buy vowels any more. This has lead to a major vowel shortage. Therefore, we need to be economical with our vowels.

Here's the rules of the game:

1. All entries must be the title of a fictional book.

2. Take the latest valid entry on the post. Determine which vowel was used the most frequently in that previous post.

3. If there is a tie in which vowel was used the most frequently, take the vowel whose first occurrance comes earliest in the entry title.

(For example, if the last entry was "Black Order" by James Rollins, since A, O, and E equally occur once, in that order, and no vowel occurs more than once, you take the A because the A comes first in the title).

4. For the sake of this game, a "Y" is always a consonant, even if it makes the sound of a vowel (like in the word "spy").

5. All entries must contain at least 1 vowel.

6. The vowel that you came up with in steps 2 and/or 3 is the vowel you are forbidden from using in the next entry. Note that you are only forbidden from using it in the title. The Author's name may contain the forbidden vowel.

I will submit the first entry. Note that this would be a valid entry if my forbidden vowel was A.

Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie

Since there are more E's than any other vowel, the next person to post is forbidden from using any E's.

You will also notice that no 2 consectutive entries will have the same forbidden vowel.

Question: ". . .you take the A (of Black Order)
because it comes first in the title"

-- would this be the same, even if the title
were THE Black Order, or A Black Order? -- ignore any articles?

83ThrillerFan
Edited: Apr 15, 2010, 3:21 pm

#82

Articles Count.

I used the example because it's the book I was reading at the time (and still am, haven't had much time lately).

As mentioned in message 58, all words count, including "the", "a". Had the book been called "The Black Order", then "E" would be the forbidden letter because of frequency.

The only time you take the vowel that comes first is when there is a tie, and it's first amongst those that tied.

For example, if you submitted Firestarter, it would be "E" that's prohibited next because there are more E's than any other letter, regardless of the fact that "I" is the first vowel in the title.

However, since I can't think of a specific example to illustrate the point, let's say, hypothetically, that there is a book called "The Root Canal", here, the "E" counts, but you have only 1 E, 2 O's, and 2 A's. Therefore, you take the one that occurs first ONLY AMONGST those that tied for the most, so in this case, the E is ignored because there is only 1 E, and amongst the O and A, the first O came first, so O becomes the forbidden vowel.

However, The Firm by Grisham would lead to E being prohibited, NOT I. "The" counts.

Also, only the title, NOT the sub-title, counts.

Something like "blah blah blah, A Novel", the "A Novel" isn't part of the actual title, it's a subtitle, and so that part doesn't count.

Hope this clarifies.

84rolandperkins
Edited: Apr 15, 2010, 3:42 pm

On #83

Banish the subtitle if you will (although itʻs just recently been admitted in the new rules of another thread). But I canʻt believe that E is the prohibited letter of The Firm. "I" is.

85ThrillerFan
Apr 15, 2010, 3:59 pm

No, E is. Articles count. E occurs once, I occurs once, the E comes first.

Don't forget, unlike the game where you need a title with a common word, here, articles count. Pretend you're on Wheel of Fortune. If the answer was "The Firm", and you buy an E, there is an E, you maintain your turn, etc.

Therefore, when E is forbidden, any title with "The" can't be used.
