Top Ten Wrap-up: Challenged Books

[featherynscale]

Well done, y'all -- you named 8 of the 10 most challenged books in school libraries in 2006.

The list you got is here. The two that didn't get mentioned were #2, the “Gossip Girls” series by Cecily Von Ziegesar (for homosexuality, sexual content, drugs, unsuited to age group, and offensive language), and #8, “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” by Stephen Chbosky (for homosexuality, sexually explicit, offensive language, and unsuited to age group).

Points:
fionnabhar - 7
matchgirl42 - 4
dramaticaddict - 3
loraca - 1

If that was amusing enough to bother with again, I'll have a new Top Ten on Friday.

I think I recognize four of those, and if pushed might have been able to get two of them (Beloved and Alice).

I thought we could only guess once, though.

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

Which does not make it an unworthwhile game, I should specify. Quite the opposite...

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, I figured you could keep on guessing.

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

What keeps someone from guessing 9 times in a row, then?

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Nothing. If you know all of the things, though, you should get points for that.

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. That doesn't gel well with the "people in different time zones/LJ reading habits can play this game" intention, though.

You can guess once a day? Once between every time someone gets a right answer?

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

I dunno. This list went on for a couple of days. I don't see too much reason to make it any more complicated than it is. I don't think it's broken, but if it turns out to be, I'll alter it.

I do adore your impulses towards better game design, though. :)

Maybe you can screen the answers?? But then you get going on the giving multiple people points for the same answer....

Or maybe a time delay? Say, think about it, and....

nah. Never mind. Shutting up now.

I thought it was great fun to keep guessing, even if it didn't bring me any closer to being right. Ever.

For me, it was more a "the more I think about it" issue, and I came up with other ideas. I was never 100% sure any of them were correct, just that they seemed possible. I had no idea that someone might think I was cheating or anything. I thought it was just for fun. *shrug*

I thought it was just for fun.

Me too! I'm perfectly happy to have people keep guessing.

FYI, I was in the car during the initial "design" of the game, and obviously assumed things about the way it was set up that weren't intended.

Also, the next list will be dramatically different in content.
