I've discovered a new game that I've been obsessed with for a couple days.

Theres a grid of 25 rectangles each a vertex which are interconnected by vertices. The vertices are the words which link each vertex

Each vertex is themed.

Sounds confusing but it's quite simple to play.

Ive only got vertex rectangles on the map open so far

I'm hoping this link works because it seems just to take me to my particular game

Funny Farm

If its blank the link has worked if not join in and help me out

It has no instructions on the link, I don't know what to do!

Put your guesses in the box on the left and click return. If your guess is right, it will fill in the box. They all link to one another. then as the grid grows it spills over to another rectangle.

The dots in the boxes indicate how many letters are in the word

Rectangles are indicated on the minimap on the left

The rectangle you are starting on is the one in the middle of the minimap

If you click on "hints"....top right hand corner of main rectangle, it will run you through aspects of game

I would play too but got no idea what to do:-2

see above or click on "hints" top right hand corner of main rectangle

This is what you should be doing....with some of the answers

I got 16, so far, about 12 to go. How do we link up?

Holy cow? KFC? That's dumb! I got the others listed, though.

cowboy, using the above "logic"

I have the idea, but not the patience.

Dont forget that the words at the edge link to another rectangle on the minimap so will refer to the subject there. It will make sense when you open up an adjacent rectangle

9 to go. I Hate You! (LOL)

You mean "intelligence"

I know what I mean.

I have bookmarked it, might be more interesting than the bloody Trivia quiz

Bull leads to BS! I was just mad when I typed that!!!!!!!!

You can go directly to an adjacent rectangle if (and you have because of the screen shot) you fill in the linking word. Click on the minimap

I'm stopping now & leaving the world wide web. For my own sanity!

My screen capture should give you a start and then I need help

yup, all I got for you is llama and goat

dalai lama

I stole some off you guys and came up with a few of my own... this is like an insane free association, stream of consciousness exercise in futility.

looks like fun, but I had a long day and am going to bed. Perhaps manana

I've got 7 rectangles open. One has a baseball main theme, so I'll most definitely need help there

There has to be a better way of collaborating than posting screen shots - especially as they say that's the idea of the game

Magicians and Poker Stars are a no-no too

Found it - bottom of the save game page

Ah Got it

Snowfire, your new avatar upsets me very much.

I thought it captured me very well

Enough for tonight - if anyone wants to merge my position it's :-

Great game! Thank you Snowfire. I have been following along when time allows.

cool game, I'll give it a go.

Funny Farm

I've been away from it for a day or two but this is how far I've got. Feel free to merge with mine and lets see it through to the end, if we can

Your link doesn't have the extra codes from the save game button - it just takes you to an empty game.

My current position :-

ETA - I'm getting very frustrated, what do a sheep and a goat have in common with the Dalai Lama? What does a cow have in common with a horse but not a bull and what does a bull have in common with a horse but not a cow? Grrrrrr.

llama is the link, rodeo is another.

The link is Llama. Somehow you've been given the answer of Dalai Lama without Llama being put in first. Dalai Lama obviously connects the next rectangle with "religion"

Dalai Lama was an obvious link from Buddhism coming back into On the Farm.

Is this any better ?

I object! Sheep are a totally unrelated species!

Thank you.

No, it still ends at /p.cgi

To carry the position it needs to continue ?state=aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbcccccccccccc................

Funny Farm

That ought to do it. This should be mine and Bryn's merged

I'm assuming then Bryn' that if either of us adds any new answers we will both see the additions in our respective funny farms

No, you're merging the specific state of the other person's game at the time the link was taken and it needs to be done each time you want to re-sync.

I just filled some in. I did the merge, hope it worked.

Pretty sure some of those were mine.

Curse of the Bambino etc.

I'll give it another try tomorrow, looks like mine merged in.

Curse of the Bambino was mine - we haven't seen your yet as you've not posted the link from your "save game"

Really? I opened your game, merged mine to yours and continued to play on your game, then (tried) to merge it to mine by pasting back and forth. It seemed to work, when I reopened yours it showed the ones I had recently added. Oh well I tried.
