I hate it when that happens, even worse thou when you can go, but someone snipes you on a word by some tiny amount of time, gets a paltry 2 points, when you had a 10 point monster planned AND you can only get a 2-pointer off their word

YES I'M BITTER DAMN IT

Well the definition from the dictionary implies the word refers to a whole poem or verse:

b. Usually, iambics. a verse or poem consisting of iambs.

7)A word cannot be strongly tied with the previous word(menaing its meaning has to completely differ from all of the previous words menings)if its used whole(so adding a suffix ly,ing,ed,or anyone like thats isnt allowed,turning a verb into a noun,or similar is also not allowed).

He's o prob on a quest to reach 100 again, so it might take a while for him to notice.

Sorry TT,but:

3. Prosody.
a. an iamb.
b. Usually, iambics. a verse or poem consisting of iambs.

So,no dice.

Actually Im just snooping around HV files and figuring them out.

Corribus · Unread postby **Corribus** » 20 Sep 2006, 02:45

so, do we proceed from iamb or iambics, even if the latter was ruled foul?

asandir · Unread postby **asandir** » 20 Sep 2006, 02:52

yep ... we do, TT gets a neg score

DaemianLucifer · Unread postby **DaemianLucifer** » 20 Sep 2006, 03:01

iambics is the word.You wanted no backtracking,so no theres no backtracking(I use that only when you illegally want to continue a word that cant be continued legally).

And iambics was the only one with that meaning. That was my reasoning. But lets move on.
