In and Out 10

It’s been too long. If you didn’t try In and Out 9, I think it was awesome: http://spookymilk.wordpress.com/2012/09/13/in-out-9/

Here is a refresher to the rules or for those of you first timers.

The game starts out with one person who picks a theme of some sort and is the only person who is “in”. He then lists three things that are part of that theme to get people started. Next, people start listing three things and anybody who is “in” will respond with yes or no to each of them. Once somebody puts down three things that are all “yes”, the people who are “in” will usually decide to declare him in (unless for some reason they are not sure that person has guessed the theme, but normally you just declare them in).

A sample game might go like this:

I post

red
blue
green

to start off the game. So Spooky guesses

orange
poop
dinosaur

to which I respond “Yes, no, no”. At this point, Spooky figures out that the theme is colors and guesses

magenta
cyan
black

To which I say “Yes, yes, yes. You are in.” Then Spooky can start answering yes or no to anybody’s questions. The game goes on until people decide to stop.

Here are your three starter words for this game. Good luck!

Strafe
Violence
Genesis

    I will also put it out there that all words are part of the same theme. No theme for each word this time 🙂

          I see what you were trying for. However, the meaning of successful words are insignificant to the theme.

          Reply

          1. mbnovak’s avatar

            Yeah. You’ve said that. And I still can’t see it.

  58. freealonzo’s avatar

    I’m with you Novak. Here’s what we know:

    Words that start(?) with STR, DON, CON, GLA, VIO all qualify but not necessarily have to be (see Spooky’s)

    One syllable words appear to be in

    Assigning simple numbers to letters (1=a, 2=b. 3=c…) doesn’t appear to apply.

    Some pattern of syllables doesn’t apply (spooky’s are two syllables, Beau has 1, 2, 4 syllables)

    What else do we know/don’t know?

          Definitely baseball, also it appears that my point out the STR, VIO, CON, DON, GLA, could start or be part of the words was was got Novak and KG to figure it out.

            I couldn’t figure out if the baseball thing was a hint or if that’s just how all y’all talk all the time. I looked over a list of baseball abbreviations but nothing clicked for me.
