[Games] ♥ Nyx' NTNB - Round 9 ♥
OK - There will only be one more round after this. Also, I've included a few questions to help me with future NTNB games.1.) Does having a small background story help out or make the game more interesting in any way?2.) Do you like the game to continue with the families currently being used (multiple generations) or would you prefer to have it stop with one generation?3.) Are the rounds too big? Too small? Just right-ish?4.) Are the questions asked to help you find a name too leading or too open? Or is it a good combination of question-types?

They plan on giving her two MN's, but this time her older sisters are helping pick them out.Also, there has been another marriage! Bryony and Jasmine have moved to the Netherlands and have celebrated their union! They want to change their last name to somehow combined some part of both of their last names.

1.) Does having a small background story help out or make the game more interesting in any way? Yes, sometimes it helps me get a feel for the type of name you might be wanting2.) Do you like the game to continue with the families currently being used (multiple generations) or would you prefer to have it stop with one generation? For the most part...3.) Are the rounds too big? Too small? Just right-ish? Just right-ish4.) Are the questions asked to help you find a name too leading or too open? Or is it a good combination of question-types? I enjoy a variety of challenges and like the combination you provide

1.) Does having a small background story help out or make the game more interesting in any way?I do think having a small background helps by making the game more interesting.2.) Do you like the game to continue with the families currently being used (multiple generations) or would you prefer to have it stop with one generation?I think multiple generations are often a good thing, sometimes if its just one generation being used in a NTNB then the amount of children gets slightly overwhelming3.) Are the rounds too big? Too small? Just right-ish?I think the rounds could be benefit with being slightly larger, but overall the size is fine4.) Are the questions asked to help you find a name too leading or too open? Or is it a good combination of question-types?I've enjoyed the combination of question types, having links to where the name can come from definetly helps as well
