[Games] Century Congrats III – Sign-up Round (I'll take 20 sign-ups)
I've hosted this game twice before, and now it's the time for the third one. I'll take 20 sign-ups (not including mine), that's the largest amount I can handle.This congrats game will follow a family during a century. There will be 20 rounds and the each round has events from a 5-year-period. Genders of the children, grandchildren etc will be determined by tossing a (virtual) coin. Each person to be named will have his/her own namebank with ten names. Here is the link for the last round of the previous game so that you can see how big the families will get. http://www.behindthename.com/bb/arcview.php?id=3640840&board=gameRules:
- No spelling changes.
- Instead of using a namebank, you can name a son after his father to make a Jr. if you want.
- Feel free to use nicknames.
- Amount of middle names is up to you.
- No last names, I want to keep this as simple as possible.
- Do not hyperlink names.
- Bold all new family members. Just type < b > before the text and < / b > after the text (but without the spaces). This saves my time when families get bigger.
- If you miss more than 3 rounds in a row without a notification, I'll have to drop you.Sign-up Round

Sorry, but you must choose only one popularity category...otherwise this will be too hard for me to handle.Which one do you pick: 551-650 or 251-350 (or something else)?

Popularity of names: 51-150Could we also name a daughter to honor a mother in later rounds?

I've been thinking about being able to honor either parent by using parent's fn or mn as the child's middle name. But then you must use the exact name, not a variant.
