now the only question left is how much does rabies differ from rabies virus.

Not so much, but we won't grudge him the bonus points.

As concepts they're as distinct as knife and knife wound...

[Pitsu]

As concepts they're as distinct as knife and knife wound...

Yes, and bless is a verb while blessing is a noun altogether. The meaning of knife is the same for both cases, even if context adds some flavor.
Anyway, i refuse to accept such combinations.

[ThunderTitan]

Yes, and bless is a verb while blessing is a noun altogether.

That's why i used the word concept, and not something with grammar in it...

The meaning of knife is the same for both cases, even if context adds some flavor.

And that's why i used an example where you can take out the word knife in the second one and the concept remains the same... wound.

Seems to me, that there is one rule that makes problems and has led to discussions in each previous round: the rule 7, but the reason for this troubles in the most cases is rule 7 combined with the +5 bonus rule. So a player always strives to risk this "tightrope act" for the bonus.
So I think it was better to cut off this +5 bonus for good...

I hope you all agree to a compromise that for this Caladont 5.0 the bonus for using a whole word is eliminated. That means that ThunderTitan gets only the 5 points for the the 5 letters in his "lyssaviruses". Also Gnom's bonus is taken away.

Hey, i thought rule changes only applied at the start of a new round...

[Koni]

I'd prefer playing, instead of discussing the rules.
