Whats the procedure for joining in late?
You must join in at the current letter and then proceed at the normal pace without going back to earlier letters, Allowing new players filling in entries on earlier letters would probably create a situation where only one or two folks would have time to read the “out of turn” entries (which isn’t to say that you’ll never be able to define an A entry — Ghyll is planned indefinitely, with a new round starting at A once Z is reached). A new player starting at A and remaining n entries behind the rest of the players would unnaturally unbalance the game. If you and I were conspiring to make Ghyll solely about balloon animals, for instance, I could define phantoms for letters that you’ll be defining soon (which everyone else has already finished – ‘ha! everyone else has finished C so I’ll phantom Choking Hazard and Shataina wi… muHAHHAHAHhHAH!’), and we’d be able to exert heavier “control” of Ghyll’s direction.
