Rules:

In (very) Short
Seven spaces. Unlimited players (though fewer ACTIVE players is so much better than lots of inactives). When one player hits space 7, the game is over and the person furthest from the last space is the winner. There's no limit to the number of players, but it's not a "start whenever you want to" thing. However, if you miss the first round, you can still join the game (see italicized section in "The Particulars" below).

The Particulars
The Play - Each round, a category will be given, such as "Name Five Pieces of Exercise Equipment" or "Which Player Reads the Most Novels." I will give a deadline for PM submissions of your answers and, at deadline, will post them all. The point is not to give the correct answer(s), but to give the most popular answer(s).

Clarifications: Outside help (e.g. Internet searching and/or discussion of the current topic with other players) is disallowed; answers must be actual attempts to fit the category -- none of this giving of answers that don't fit just for laughs or to match others outside of the category.

If you know you're going to be away from the board, just send a message to me and I'll let you know the next category/categories so that you can PM your answers to me ahead of time and keep playing even if, temporarily, you won't be available. But if I don't hear from you and you miss a deadline, you'll be moved forward in addition to whoever got the least points as penalty for missing the round. Thus, anyone who joins the game late will be penalized one space for each round they missed. I will not be accepting any late entrants after Round 3.

The Round Scoring - You will score zero points for any answer you gave which matched no one else's...and points equal to the number of people who answered the same as you for each item on your list. For example, if the category was "Give three names for little boys" and the answers given were (in a four-person game)...

Billy (Adel, gorckat, Thestatusquo) 3 points
Bobby (Adel, Glork, Thestatusquo) 3 points
Johnny (Adel, gorckat) 2 points
George (Glork, gorckat) 2 points
Ralph (Thestatusquo) 0 points
Rufus (Glork) 0 points

...so the scores for this round would be:

Adel: 8
gorckat: 7
Thestatusquo: 6
Glork: 5

Board Movement - After the round scores are tallied, the player with the least number of points for the round moves forward one space. If there is a tie for least number of points, all those involved in the tie move forward (unless all players are tied, in which case there is no movement). We clear the points and start the next round.

Game End - When at least one player reaches the last space, the player furthest back wins the game. If there are more than one player tied for winning position, those who've reached space seven are out of the game and the rest will continue until there is a clear winner.
