Guess the phrase

Guess the phrase is a strange hybrid of Scrabble and Wheel of Fortune. The basic premise is that there is a word or phrase, and the first person to guess it wins. If no one guesses the phrase within 60 minutes, the game will end and a new one will begin in 15 minutes.

At first, this phrase is shown entirely as dashes, like "-". However, various letter tiles are randomly scattered around the world. Picking up a tile will 'call' the tile's letter, (assuming it's not a duplicate), and if that letter is contained within the phrase, it will be unmasked. You gain qps for calling an uncalled letter. If the letter exists more than once in the phrase, you will receive qps for each instance of the letter. Note that when picking up letters, capitalized letters will only solve capitalized letters in the phrase. For example, a letter R will only solve any uppercased letter R's and no lowercase letter r's. If you pick up a letter that's already been called, you will not receive qps for it.

Those who correctly guess the phrase receive a prize. Prizes vary from gold, MUDpies, questpoints, and crystal fragments. The syntax for making a guess is:

guessphrase

For example: guessphrase dog

Capitalization doesn't matter, but spaces and punctuation (if any) DO!!

Typing checkphrase will display the phrase (with unfound letters still masked by dashes, of course) to you. The current phrase can also be displayed with the gamestats command.

If the game is being automated, the possible phrase or word is selected randomly from mob names, online player names, area names, room names, and socials. If an immortal is running the game, the phrase can be anything at all. Have fun!
