Thread: Istarian number = abbreviations game

  1. #1

    Default Istarian number = abbreviations game

    Back in 2006 I started a puzzle thread where the person posing the puzzle would put it out as # = abbreviations, using things represented in Istaria. For example, one post was "5 = T. of the G." which was solved as "5 = Trials of the Gifted".

    It was really fun to see the creative guesses when folks were stumped. The poser of the puzzle would tell how many of the words in the guess were correct (or which words were, particularly in the longer ones). Whoever successfully guessed then got to pose the next challenge.

    I would like to start it up again. Since the original thread was closed, I will make a 2nd post here to summarize everything solved before, then make a 3rd post to pose a new one for folks to guess.
