02:25 - How it works

We pick a TLD from a list, and the other person needs to guess:

  1. Is it for a country or business? +5 points
  2. What country, business, or type of business is it for? +5 points
  3. How much per year does it cost to register? You may also say "unregisterable" +/- off by $$ https://www.101domain.com/
  4. Is scott._ and wes._ available? -10 points for each

04:00 - .sd

  • Scott: 5 + -5 + -126 + -10 + 10 = -126

05:46 - .ong

  • Wes: 5 + -5 + -30 + 20 = -10

07:53 - .koeln

  • Scott: 5 + -5 + -20 + 20 = -126

09:23 - .co.ke

  • Wes: 10 + -15 + 0 = -15

11:00 - .tr

  • Scott: 5 + -5 + 0 + 0 = -126

12:25 - .ist

  • Wes: -5 + 5 + -10 + 0 = -25

13:57 - .xn—45q11c

  • Scott: 5 + 5 + -295 + 10 = 20 = -401

16:40 - .reit

  • Wes: 10 + -1460 + 10 = -1465
