Top 10 Elite · Works at Legal Assistant in Muskegon, MichiganThere are so many possibilities for TTs today without resorting to hybrids. I'm kind of disappointed.

Top 10 Elite · Works at Legal Assistant in Muskegon, MichiganIt's interesting to see how the hybrid RA/TT yesterday played out yesterday. There was no real consensus on how to go about it.

Top 10 Elite · Works at Legal Assistant in Muskegon, MichiganI think it just means that the host didn't get the topic in on time for display today. But it can be remedied over the weekend.

Elder (Over 100 Rounds) · Department Assistant at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OhioI really loved the Friday 3/22 Trending Topics game: both the starter and responses. I laughed at (with?) SO many of them! They were Real Time/Daily Show/Colbert-worthy. Topical, hilarious...and some of them had a real edge :-)

Top 100 Player · Lives in Bothell, WashingtonLesser known awards shows: The actor most difficult to understand.
Should we be thinking shows, or categories?-
Chris M ·
Top 10 Elite · Works at Legal Assistant in Muskegon, MichiganWhich way though? The example doesn't match the starter. Too bad because it works both ways. This could have been fun for two different games.
-
Dave B ·
Elder (Over 100 Rounds) · Lead Advertising Manager at AT&T in Atlanta, GeorgiaI contributed the category but didn't include a starter. My bad. I think John was interpreting it. I think it can go both ways and looking at mine now I think used a terrible mishmash of both. I will be revising mine to a category.

The catagory is Trending Topics and the subject is in the news along with wars, murders and natural diasters. I try to stay clear of the Kardashians and all of the other meaningless...See more

Elder (Over 100 Rounds) · Lead Advertising Manager at AT&T in Atlanta, GeorgiaThis is not a complaint but I am new to TT and I am confused by the prompt and starter for tomorrow. Isn't this another Hybrid? What are the guidelines for playing here?

Top 10 Elite · Works at Legal Assistant in Muskegon, MichiganI had a non-hybrid post in TT today. It was the only one. Nobody voted for it so I deleted it. It's good that you wanted to vote right, Dave. It's good that you DO vote. Just vote for whatever strikes your fancy. You are doing great and it's great to have you back!
