Let's see how creative you guys are.

Quote from Dictionary
A figurative, usually compound expression used in place of a name or noun, especially in Old English and Old Norse poetry

Example, the ocean could be "whale-road."
A middle age kenning for blood is "slaughter-dew."

Basically, you give a word, and a person will give it its kenning form followed by another word for the next person. I don't care what words you give, it can be Starcraft based for all I care (eg. Irradiate could be blood-boiler :P)

Anyway, first word:

Wallet



None.

it's rather inconvenient actually, as it requires you to transfer it to Custom Score which might even interfere with what you're measuring. But IIRC you can also use EUDs to display it which by now could actually be somewhat convenient.

UndeadStar shouted: https://staredit.net/topic/18961/ <= wow, if there wasn't a capital letter on almost every word in the title, and a link in the signature, I may not have guesses it's an AI bot. I don't know much about map editing, but the content may even be relevant enough to be kept.
Yeah, I've noticed it, but it raised a couple of relevant questions and kept the ad to the signature so if someone were to engage with the topic it could be a net positive which is why I kept it. We're not necessarily anti-bot, just anti-spam. Thanks to Symmetry who realized my hope. :)
