Men cave hide day night. Girl cave meet boy cave. Boy cave make fire. Cave break. Boy cave join girl cave men cave. Men cave go big rock run world end. Man big throw men cave sun. Men cave safe.
Even before the extension I recognised The Croods; it might have helped that the caveman theme of the thread made me think of that movie instantly too. :P

Google says close is an adjective, so I think I'm okay :)
It can be an adjective, an adverb, or a noun (much as e.g. 'fast'). When it modifies a verb, it is an adverb.
We might need to add those to the ruleset if the descriptions end up being too similar and bland, but for now let's see if the one we have works.

Rule change:
I'm gonna add exclamation marks and question marks to the allowed punctuation. Seems like an unnecessary omission, and something within the scope of caveman science.


Ch1. You good. You kill Bad, Not bad you. You make Good Like Bad, not leave good too bad.

Ch2. Hate you.

Ch1. You past pal. Past Love you.
Please, mind the rules of the game and of the language. Pronouns are a big nono. Adverbs and commas are also not allowed.

John Wick. (I've just realized how simple the story is. Still a great film.)
Although do try and keep adjectives after nouns. Even shorter sentences seem to help.

Here's one:

Man good. Wife bad. Boy small. Girl small. Food small. Eat poor. Wife say man take kids go forest. Man leave boy leave girl. Kids sad. Kids lost. Kids find house. House make candy. House taste good. Hag old. Hag bad. Hag live house. Hag tell kids come house. Hag trap kids. Hag want eat kids! Boy fat. Girl smart. Hag want cook girl. Girl trick hag. Girl cook hag. Kids free! Kids go home. Wife dead. Man sad. Man see kids. Man end sad. Kids end sad.

It can be an adjective, an adverb, or a noun (much as e.g. 'fast'). When it modifies a verb, it is an adverb.
Actually, I don't, offhand, think 'close' can ever be an adverb, and, in the case of 'come close', that's just 'come' being copular, as evidenced by the fact that you could, for example, replace it with 'be' without changing the meaning (except for the implied inchoative aspect). Basically, 'close' is what it 'come(s)', not how it 'come(s)', and thus is an adjective there.

Yup.

@MS: your language-fu may be greater than mine. I'll have to review this bit. In the meantime, carry on.

- only nouns, verbs and adjectives (no pronouns, adverbs, determiners, conjunctions - the whole lot; if not sure, check with a dictionary)
I'm a little curious which of those you think 'no' is. :P
