Caladont 5.0
Does anybody know a word that starts with "ks"? I don't!
So:
rule 15) Any player who is forced to use a word for which he/she is later penalized will receive 0 points (instead of the normal -1) if the word prevents the round from ending.
Please continue with a word starting with "s" only! You will not be penalized.

So rule no 5 should still count. AFter all, there are for some reason.15) Any player who is forced to use a word for which he/she is later penalized will receive 0 points (instead of the normal -1) if the word prevents the round from ending.
Note that this still counts as a round penalty.
Also the word must not break rules 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13 or 14.
And what is wrong with ending old round and start new one?
Ok, with TT's last posting of "arks" the round ends, because there isn't any valid word found starting with "ks", according to ruleAvonu wrote:So rule no 5 should still count. AFter all, there are for some reason.

9) The round ends when there are no words that can be posted. The one who ends the round gets -5 points (so that users are encouraged to prolong the game)
So let's start a new round.
The last score is:
Kalah 35+3+3+ = 41
Koni 37+2 = 39
GreatEm 23+5 = 28
jeff 18+4 = 22
Avonu 17+3 = 20
ThunderT 25-5 = 20

The winner is KALAH !!!
No need for you, Kalah, to give away your (last?) T-Shirt.
But would you please start the new round!!!?

Shouldn't we start a Calodont 6 for that, then?
Also, I can't think about any more words for that particular word. Nothing really starts with "ls" (and UNIX commands are not accepted here, alas ). "diols" would be possible, like "diolsulfate", but that would be just bad chemistry (IUPAC states that the "diol" part has to be separated by dashes, so it wouldn't fit the rules; and it would more likely be a sulfatediol, too, since if it existed in the first place, its formula would be something like HO-SO4-OH; and it doesn't exist, since it would create a SO4(OH)2 ionic compound, which would instantly break due to both ions having negative charge, SO2 has -2 and OH has -1; yay for chemistry!).

Or for fucks sakes.... i take it then that kings, vicar or priest aren't allowed either...Avonu wrote:Isn't "kshatriya" against 5th rule?
5) Proper nouns (nouns that label a specific thing, like Earth, Microsoft, Belgium, etc), and non-english words are not allowed, and neither are abbreviations.
Kshatriya basically means warrior and since it's Indian it's been in the english language at least as long as Thug: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/thug#Etymology

Hey, I only asked about it, not accepted or denied it.
I never saw word "kshatriya" used in English besides HV.

So, what to do now? We could continue the first round of Caladont 5.0 with this last score after the word kshatriya accepted:
and continued by
jeff's riyal
Koni's yald
Avonu's alder
If you go conform with this suggestion, you may continue with the last word "alder". Sorry, Kalah!
But please remember (and I hope you all accept this), we will continue the round without the +5 bonus. So using the whole word "alder" in the next word will only count the 5 (letter) points.
Ok, accepted.

Well they add a few dozen new ones each year... and plenty of words are not used that often...
But it's in MW: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/kshatriya
