forgot one "abbreviation". + after a subject line means the message has been edited at some point.

Maybe you could clarify some of the types of 'if you had to' games? Although they might not need clarification, I dunno.

Maybe this is obvious or too simplistic, but (m) in a subject line indicates more. That’s the only thing I see often abbreviated that was missing.

You don't have to include this, but I thought I'd share. I haven't seen a Landmine Congrats game happen in awhile. I used to host them more often and some other users have to. It can just fall under a KUY, so it doesn't necessarily have to be included. But sometimes people get confused on the rules.

A Landmine Congrats is typically a KUY game. At the end of each round, the players are asked to choose from a selection of options. Their choice is included somewhere on their post (either within its contents or in the heading). Then, during the next round, each option from the previous round will have its own namebank. Users use the namebank that corresponds with their previous choice. In each round, there will be at least one "Landmine" namebank that consists of largely unfavorable name choices. Rules on how you use the namebank are pretty lax. You can choose to add on to your family by adding additional biological children, adopted children, pets, or even build on further generations. Unlike most Congrats games, users are able to add as many family as they want as long as the names come out of the corresponding namebank.

That may not have been the best way to explain it, so let me know if you have any clarifying questions. Like I said, it doesn't have to be included in the rules. But it may be nice so other users may feel more welcome to host their own version of this game.
