Caladont 5.0

[Koni]

It's not my intention to "dock" points from anybody. So I decided for me as the arbitre to delete my name in the score.

Kalah 52+4-1 = 55
ThunderT 47+4+4 = 55
GreatEm 39+4+3 = 46
Avonu 35+3+4 = 42

But please tell me if and how you want to play the game in future, and if you are willing to accept a referee (who isn't envolved in participating as a player furtheron). On each football place it's happening day for day, so it's no problem for me to be "booohed" out.

... Might as well disallow apples because someone used orange already because they're both fruits...

Nonsens, but if someone posts "pineapple", and the next one continues with "apples", he is not allowed, although pineapples are no apples.

Wow, that's even worse...

By that logic we should take out any words that have a common etymology...


Also, it's clearly not what the rules intended:

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


Hell, at least you can make the argument that sterones is a plural for testosterone (still shaky imo), but pineapple and apples have both a different meaning and the change isn't based on exploiting grammatical rules in order to use the same word...


And there's no need to take out your name...

[Kalah]

I have no problem with Koni as the referee. Even though I thought my last word was valid.

I thought of it a bit like this: football, balls. Yes, a football is a kind of ball, so they are connected, but too distantly to be directly connected.

Anyway, where were we - who's turn is it?

[ThunderTitan]

I have no problem with Koni as the referee. Even though I thought my last word was valid.

Well all the stuff i find him to be wrong about came after someone else complained... so it's all their fault, bloody subversive terrorist kenyan muslims anti-christs nazi communists...



Seriously thought, the rule clearly states it's about using the whole word, so the degree of connection shouldn't really even matter.

[Koni]

Ok, comrades, let's proceed with this rule then, now well and better explained to me with focus at "if it's used whole":

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

And there's no need to take out your name...

Thanks, TT, and thanks Kalah for your statement "no problem with Koni as the referee.

Where are we:
since "sterones" is allowed the newly updated score is:

Kalah 56+7 = 63
TT 55+4 = 59
Koni 57
GreatEmerald 46
Avonu 42
