Honorable mention to @korpil who almost got it right earlier.
@HippieScubaSteve you can host the next round, if you want!
Okay, S it is! It appears thrice, in positions 3, 16, and 43.
_ _ O ' S / _ _ E / _ O R E / _ O O L _ S _ ? _ _ E / _ O O L / O R / _ _ E / _ O O L / _ _ O / _ O L L O _ S / _ _ _ ?
The board is getting full. Are we getting another solution attempt?

The second time is the charm — L wins the toss after another tie in the #SarlaccPit. It appears 5 times, in position
14, 24, 33, 39, and 40:
_ _ O ' _ / _ _ E / _ O R E / _ O O L _ _ _ ? _ _ E / _ O O L / O R / _ _ E / _ O O L / _ _ O / _ O L L O _ _ / _ _ _ ?
Wrong guesses: Q
What letter is next? Or do you want to solve?
This time in #SarlaccPit, we have two tied winners. So I tossed a coin: E wins this time! It appears four times, in positions 6, 10, 20, and 29.
_ _ O ' _ / _ _ E / _ O R E / _ O O _ _ _ _ ? _ _ E / _ O O _ / O R / _ _ E / _ O O _ / _ _ O / _ O _ _ O _ _ / _ _ _ ?
Wrong guesses: Q
Since L almost made it, I'll include it again. What letter shall be tried next?
The third winner of this round of #SarlaccPit is the letter R. It appears twice in the solution, in position 9 and 26.
_ _ O ' _ / _ _ _ / _ O R _ / _ O O _ _ _ _ ? _ _ _ / _ O O _ / O R / _ _ _ / _ O O _ / _ _ O / _ O _ _ O _ _ / _ _ _ ?
Wrong guesses: Q
What letter shall be tried next?
The second winner of this round of #SarlaccPit is the letter Q. But sadly, it doesn't appear in the quote.
_ _ O ' _ / _ _ _ / _ O _ _ / _ O O _ _ _ _ ? _ _ _ / _ O O _ / O _ / _ _ _ / _ O O _ / _ _ O / _ O _ _ O _ _ / _ _ _ ?
Wrong guesses: Q
However, I made a mistake while typing the board last time: I didn't fill in the 12th O, in position 41. I corrected it here.
What letter shall be tried next?

Here comes a new round of #SarlaccPit, a #Hangman-like #puzzle #game with a #StarWars theme!
Rules and previous Pits: https://c.im/@darth_hideout/113631196868456567
All are welcome!
We are looking for a quote with words of the following length in that order, with punctuation:
3, apostrophe, 1, 3, 4, 7, question-mark, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4, 3, 7, 3, question-mark
_ _ _ ' _ / _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ? _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ ?
Which letter shall be guessed first?
Attached: 1 image There are at least 2 poll-driven word #games on #Mastodon: #HangTrek (#StarTrek theme) & #SarlaccPit (#StarWars theme). The same rules can be used for any similar #game using a different tag & theme. The games are similar to the classic #Hangman word game. One player hosts a #puzzle by coming up with a word, phrase or quote appropriate for the theme. The host posts the puzzle with a pattern of blanks to be filled in. In each round, the host runs a poll with 4 options. Each option is a different letter that may or may not be present in the answer. At least one of the options must be correct (present in the answer), but more than one, even all four, may be present. The winner of each poll is used as a collective guess from those playing. The results are revealed & then a new poll is run until someone guesses the result. Suppose the host chooses “The Force” as the answer to the puzzle. The puzzle would initially start as: _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ Choices might be: A as in Alderaan E as in Endor O as in Onderon U as in Utapau If E wins the poll, the result would be: _ _ E / _ _ _ _ E Then a new poll would run. The game ends when someone guesses the right answer (by replying to the poll, usually with a CW) or when the host accrues 10 wrong guesses. The winner has the option to run the next puzzle, nominate someone else to do so or pass. 1/3 #Puzzles
