And the first 3 words/rules are "Humour", "Discernment" and "Love"(just cuz... love is king, babeh)

++ What is this? ++

- Quite similar to the (recently belated) One-Word Story except the action consists of: First person writes 3 words instead of one, then second person copy/pastes those words into new comment and adds his/her own 3 words, and so on. That's it!

Eliminates the need for compiling in the end, eliminates need for quotation marks ("") unless pertinent, eliminates wasting comments on ponctuation as those are not part of the word count, and hopefully eliminates the whole bitching and demanding on what the next word should be.

++ What are the rules? ++ (more like guidelines, this aint no undiscussable dictatorship)

- The first 3 rules above are the primary guidelines. The next rules below only follow those, but are also strong guidelines.

- The phrases don't HAVE to make sense, the grammar structure should. Even bending grammar rules has its own way of doing it. Keep grammatical sense in mind.

- If you REALLY think a quick fix to existing text is needed (obvious misspellings or typos or ponctuation changes due to the path that the sentence followed) just do it yourself while you're adding your 3 words. Should be seldom, but there's no absolute ownership of yours or other's text, so there shouldn't be any absolute sense of entitlement nor any complaints to this, unless the fix was really unnecessary. For bigger fixes or just ideas "to make the story perfect" or something, might be a good idea to just suggest it to the previous person envolved.

- Speaking of the latter, feel free to make any words or idea suggestions as long as you remember that they only are exactly that: Suggestions. Fun exceptions to normal action. The posters before or after you may or may not be totally open to those and may or may not take a liking to yours, but no one is under ANY obligation to change their intended text to suit your ideas, unless they think it's cool. You may still call them "ya arse! :(" though lol.

- Quotation marks are not necessary, but suggestions or remarks should be kept in brackets and outside of the text itself. Only inside the text if it's very pertinent, short, and easy for the next ones to spot it and remove it, as it shouldnt be permanent. Quote-replies to such remarks are fine but ALWAYS outside.

- My Georgian momma is Obama's Portuguese momma in Horker encarnation, said Numidium - is (weird lol) all good as a phrase, so long as we remember to keep things moderately appropriate and always gravitate towards good ol' TES universe.

- I guess it's still acceptable to put "That's a hollowman" instead of "That is a" and "hollow man who", even though it's bendy. "They went intolevel5dangerzone" is not very acceptable. Putting dashes in that wouldnt make it more acceptable either, although words like "man-child", "battle-priest", "Hunter-Gatherer", etc can be acceptable. Bottom line is 3 words are 3 words, so let's keep ridiculous exceptions to a minimum lol. And only if it's THAT funny and pertinent.

- Try to let at least two others post before you post again. If not, allowing one other post is a minimum. Unless you're just making remarks or bumping the thread :)

I'm going to start this. By exceptionally posting a small series of comments, to exemplify. Please continue after :)
