Notes from the organizer: Game Twelve! All's well that ends well.

A welcome return for last year's innovation. It's a Hypergoat Letters Attack, and your task is to write the best Chris-mas list; that is, make a list of things that I'd most like Father Chris-mas to leave underneath the Chris-mas tree. You can choose how you do this. For example, you can declare RED in round one and SOCKS in round two, to make RED SOCKS as an item (and so on, with as many adjectives per noun as you like), or you can make a list of twenty nouns instead, or anywhere in between. Invalid declarations won't count towards your list.

The BONUS TOURNAMENT POINT will be awarded to any player who declares a valid word of ten letters or more.

To help you with this task and inform your list-making, each player may, in the comments of this page, ask me no more than one question of the form "X or Y?"; I'll answer them with whichever of X or Y I would prefer to receive. Last year's Q&A is here: https://www.apterous.org/to_tourney.php?tourney=6152

If you have any questions about the rules, scoring, or anything else pertaining to this tourney, please feel free to ask.
