I thought the round only ended when no more words were possible?

Rule suggestion: if someone posts a non-valid word, he/she is penalized with minus points, but the round continues until no further words can be posted? Long rounds with lots of points are fun.

Actually, I found ryegrass in both my American Heritage Dictionary and OED online, although in OED it is hyphenated. It's a type of grass used for fodder.

Sounds nice.Ok,if others agree,Ill put it in.But it will involve a lot of backtracking.And I wont recheck the score lists then.

I think it'll be very hard to get a round to end with those rules, but we'll see.

As for the word- German words borrowed into English are also good fun. Thus:

As for the mistakes,how about I just add a threshold?How about 5 mistakes per round?Do you agree,or do you want more?

Well, that was a short round (unless someone actually comes up with anything, wich I sincerely doubt)... 8|

I imagine it will only add more confusion. How about no treshold (allowing infinite mistakes), no ending of the round unless no new word can be posted, and heavier penalty for breaking the rules..?

Ok,I have two ideas.One is to make the penalty -3 always,and the other is to make it -1 for every word we have to backtrack.Which one do you guys prefer?

Words used:
lungs,g-suit,suitable,tables,bless,lesser,servicing

Preliminary score:
DaemianLucifer - 7
eekstah - 5
theGryphon - 4
theLuckyDragon - 4
Paulus1 - 3
Corribus - 2
