The Rules Game

[Spooniest]

I'm making this up on the spur of the moment...let's see how it goes.

1. If your middle name begins with a vowel, post your favorite character from Final Fantasy.

2. If your middle name begins with a consonant, post your favorite song from Final Fantasy.

3. If your middle name is only one syllable, follow both the above rules, regardless of what the first letter is.

4. If your middle name is more than three syllables, you get to start a new game with one caveat: you must stipulate four and only four rules. They can be as complicated or as simple as you like, but there can only be four of them; no more, no less. If you have more than one middle name, use the first letter of the first middle name. Also, you can add up the syllables to both names for the syllable count.

So, here we go. My middle name starts with a consonant and is three syllables, so here's my favorite song from Final Fantasy, re-done by OC Remix.

[Colonel Angus]

My favorite FF song is the Main Final Fantasy theme from XII.

[Shauna]

I have no middle name.

This is a trout game.

[Spooniest]

I have no middle name.

...Weird.

[Shorty]

Eyes on Me~

[Pumpkin]

Rose of May

[Rocket Edge]

My favourite song is 'Dance with the Balamb-fish' from Final Fantasy VIII.

[Shauna]

I have no middle name.

...Weird.

Not that weird.

Your game is just weird for being exclusionary to children whose parents didn't care enough to give them another name. ;_;

[Aerith's Knight]

I have no middle name.

...Weird.

Not that weird.

I like this proprietary excluvinism.

Only good song is Aerith's theme. ;_;

Also Beatrix's theme from IX.

[Spooniest]

I like this proprietary excluvinism.

I, in turn, like the new word you have taught me.

And @ Shauna, that's what you get for locking people inside a hot stuffy couch all day

I don't like this game because I have too many favorites. Locke, Setzer, Terra, Celes, Vivi, Rydia, Balthier, Fran, Auron, Khimari, Strago, Banon, Steiner...okay, that's enough. So I cheated. Sorry.

[Shorty]

Somehow I doubt anyone has 4+ syllable middle name here, so I don't see any new rules being made anytime soon.

[Shauna]

Matt does.

Ya think maybe he made that rule on purpose? Out of everyone I know, only one person has a middle name with 4+ syllables and that's my daughter (Isabella). I'd never thought about it before, but I guess it's kind of a rare thing.

[Spooniest]

Well you can't just go changing the rules to a game willy-nilly, now can you?

I can't really claim it was by design, since, as I said, I just threw the whole thing together in a momentary flash of...of crazy, I guess? But it does work to keep the rules of the game solid, and don't forget, we have newbies around whose middle names we aren't familiar with.
