Vocab Extravaganza [ August ]

Vocab Extravaganza is a monthly IC game where a list of vocabulary words will be posted, along with their part of speech and definition. The words will have some type of theme and connection. The goal of the challenge is to write as many posts as possible using the offered vocabulary words. As a writer, expanding your vocabulary and word usage is both instrumental and fun!

THIS IC GAME IS COMPLETELY OPTIONAL TO JOIN

Game rules

VOCAB EXTRAVAGANZA ENDS ON AUGUST 31st
  One post can have a maximum of TWO vocabulary words. Please highlight/bolden these words when linking your post. You can do so using either [b] or [speech] tags.

  Please don't feel pressured to utilize this! It is only intended as a resource, and a fun way to build up your writing skill. If you do wish to participate, please use the form below and post a reply to this thread. You have until the game ends to participate, so you are welcome to fill your form in over time!

REWARDS    On the first day of each month, the winner will be determined by who has utilized the most vocabulary words while adhering to the challenge rules. They will receive a GRAPHIC, AVATAR, GIF, TABLE or TEMPLATE by the staff of their choosing (Silhouette & Andromeda). They will also propose a SPECIAL VOCABULARY WORD for the next month (can be as ridiculous or challenging as they choose) that will be included on the list. Later on, when the achievement system is complete, players will win an award for winning The Vocab Extravaganza. IC prizes will also be introduced in the future.
