Game: Caladont

[soupnazii]

cyprus

Just say what GC said: "derivatives excluded". The current formulation is ambiguous.

I don't think stuff like lyre->lyrebird (to take one used before here) is wrong. It's the original posters fault. But just using the root and then turning it to an adverb or something is bad. I think the current formulation is quite OK

Oh, and Prussia.

[theLuckyDragon]

If English lexicology is the same as Romanian, then lyrebird is not a derivative of lyre, it is a compound.

Names not allowed!

[Gaidal Cain]

5)Personal names,and non-english words are not allowed(sorry,but me saying tikvan would be unfair)

It's the name of a state, not a person. And if Prussia isn't allowed, then cyprus shouldn't be either.

[theLuckyDragon]

the game is very simple,but I decided to spice it up a bit

Confuse us all and over-complicate the game, that's what I say...

@GC

And if Prussia isn't allowed, then cyprus shouldn't be either.

Correct. I was talking to both of you.

[theGryphon]

So, where are we now?

[soupnazii]

well, the name of a state is not neccesarily a personal name of a person. lets let DL talk.

edit: incase its not allowed, i would like to state that my word could also mean "fair" or "fairness". either way, my word stays.

So, where are we now?

Actually, on the top of page 12, Deni wrote amiga, wich is not an English word, but Spanish, and/or a name. Therefore we are technically still at tsunami.

edit1: Emphasis on techically.
edit2: Uhm.. I mean, technically.

Ion-beam accelerator. If this doesn't count as adding letters then I'd have to go with Ionization.

[theGryphon]

Taking ionization, ionic

[Gaidal Cain]

Let's just stop it until DL comes here to clear up the mess...

[theGryphon]

OK

[Gaidal Cain]

And besides, there's the Amiga. I think that a rule about "no brand names" would perhaps be in place as well. And some rule about what happens when someone posts a wrong word and the first person who posts after doesn't notice (I say we continue with the latest word, and perhaps have some penalty for those involved).

"Tsunami" is actually borrowed from japanese language. There are many english words borrowed from other languages. Do these count as usable words?

Ionization has already been used this round, by me
look at page 9.

[DaemianLucifer]

Oooookeeeeyyy.....I have a big read here.Well if I said "names" not allowed,that would mean stuff like chair isnt allowed.I need help here:Is there a way to label names of planets,with names of companies,personal names,and geographical names,because all of those arent allowed.Maybe saying "Just common names are allowed" should be in order.Help me clarify the rule.

And,because Ionization was posted twice,from this round on,I will post the words used whenever I come by here.

And because I am stunned how we got from c-section to eczema,Im ending the round here.The next round will start with Ethric.And heres the list:
Ethric - 18
Vlad976 - 17
Corribus - 16
urbanmonk - 16
eekstah - 12
soupnazii - 11
DaemianLucifer - 10
Kalah - 10
Milla aka. the Slayer - 9
Paulus1 - 9
Sir William S Titan - 9
Gaidal Cain - 7
Kareeah Indaga - 4
Orfinn - 3
theLuckyDragon - 3
Caradoc - 2
ThunderTitan - 2

Special congratulations to urbanmonk for making a word starting with 7 letters of the previous word,and to Vlad976 for using a whole word,thus gaining an extra point.Btw,do you guys think an extra 2,or 3 points should be granted for using the whole word,since it seems harder then I thought?

Round four,waiting for Ethric to start it:

Yes, that's what i meant by name. To me it doesn't matter if it's a name for a person, country, brand or product, it's still a name. I think it's called "proper noun" or "proper name". Basicly any word that is capitalized when written correctly is a such.

edit: Some post sneaked in between. But then I (unintentionally) answered DaemianLucifer's question; Yes, "proper name" or "proper noun" label/describe such word, according to www.thefreedictionary.com.

Most of English is borrowed from some other language (or least a derivitive of it)......so I would think as long as it is in English dictinary it would be ok.

Yes, because they're in the dictionarry. I can correctly say/write "Tsunami" in an English sentence, but not "amiga". Capitalized Amiga, however, is not incorrect, but still against the game's rule about names.

......so I would think as long as it is in English dictinary it would be ok.

Exactly.
