A classic pencil-and-paper game which translates reasonably well to a forum game. It's literally just hangman (without the drawings). Ten wrong guesses are a loss. The hangsquid should probably copy and paste their original post each time an addition is made (to give alerts, mainly, but also to keep it easy to find). Don't make two guesses in a row unless the thread is thoroughly dead, please! However, you can guess the full word at any point (because otherwise, people might refrain from guessing the second-last letter if the word will be determined by it and someone else will snipe it). Of course, be honest if you're the hangsquid and don't change your word if someone guesses it right~
I'll start with a classic favourite of mine. Not Splatoon-themed (although it is mentioned a couple of times in the script...), just so you know.

Update V1.1: squids for ten wrong guesses, courtesy of Anaru! Also, no consensus has yet been reached on proper nouns, so probably don't use them until it's agreed that they're nice.

The 'hangsquid' chooses a word, keeping it secret but showing the number of letters. Any other player may then guess a letter and, if it is present in the word, it is written in its placeholder; if not, it is added to the list of wrong guesses, giving an infraction point. Anyone may also guess the full word at any time; this also adds an infraction if it is wrong (marked on the list of wrong guesses as # or in any other unambiguous manner). Ten infraction points and the hangsquid wins the game; the Inkling is hanged for, like, crimes against freshness or something similar. It's really tricky actually to make the ASCII art work, so unless you feel confident drawing a hangman's tree in text, just list wrong guesses. Whoever guesses the full word or the final letter is allowed to be the next hangsquid. If the hangsquid wins, they can either choose to do another word or give the next game to someone else (perhaps just the first person to post).
