This neat little forum game was introduced by "Xander100", with the following description:
"Well I don't know if you guys know it but is fun ! In my country we play it!
You start with a word , the next guy must say another word that starts with the first 2 initial the same as the last 2 initials of the aboves word . I don't think I am explaining good so here is an example:
house - serious - usage - geronimo - moisture - reload - added
P.S. Try to make words that the next can continue with a new word !
P.S. I don't know if in your country you have a game thats like this , but in this forum i don't saw a game like this ! "
Continuing on from the old forums, the last word is:
errata
PS
As we were playing the game, we decided to avoid words that end on certain two-letter combinations, because there were very few words that started with those. Hence, "Ertxiem" compiled a succinct list of all the forbidden endings for words:
"The forbidden endings:
*ia, *ic, *ky, *ly, *ll, *on, *ty, *um, *us, *xo, *er, *ry
and all the other two consonant endings that don't start a word."

Hm. I think we have a new contender for the forbidden endings list. :)
art thief (work with what you got)
Mopman- it's one word only. So, "artist" would then be a solution, for instance. ;)

fyke

attain

Steelfist- "um" is one of those forbidden endings (just check the first post for a list of them).

The forbidden endings:
*ia, *fy, *ic, *ky, *ly, *ll, *on, *ty, *um, *us, *xo
and all the other two consonant endings that don't start a word.
The reason for the forbidden endings is the low number of words you can start with them. The impossibilities aren't listed because they are too many!
ergo
I say if a word can be made from it use it... it just gets repetitive with ice ice ice ice all the time..
goliath
Thanks for reminding folks, Ert! Indeed, ergo has been used many-a-time by me as well, hence the forbidden endings, to make things more interesting, rather than to force people to use the same words all over again due to their small number.

You're welcome. By the way, there are a few other words starting with er (other than my nickname :) ).

statistician
(ergonomic, era, eradicate, erase, there's quite a long list of er words.)
anecdote
mopman: it is because ergo and others have been used countless times before, those endings which have been overused with limited number of words are removed in order to avoid repetition (ergo, for instance, has been used at least 8 times already, same for ergonomic).
Thus, to vary the words used, it's a forbidden ending- demands more creativity on behalf of players ;)
But if you guys want to keep it in, that's fine, voice your opinions- I just think it's been overused in the past quite a lot.

The forbidden endings are here because they lead to very limited choice of words already used (mostly words derived from "use").

That's the fault of the posters right there. A lack of creativity or effort. Limiting choice to avoid it hardly seems to be the proper way of handling things. But, that is merely my humble opinion and I will gladly prostrate myself before your superior intellect.
inebriated
the 2 consonant endings i can understand but some of them just don't make much sense. although if you add enough forbidden endings then that creates a challenge on the opposite end of the scale from struggling to find a word that starts with the right letters. although right now its just in the middle and possibly as easy as it can get.
Edwardo
Docile
Hmmm... how about a combination of this thread and the associations game thread? That would certainly add a bit of challenge and require the posters to think a bit more.
Leningrad
I think that that is a (Lenin)grand idea.
that would be a good idea. I would also like to challenge the use of "nd" as an ending. the challenge is held until somebody can come up with 2 or more uses of the letters in the beginning 2 letters of a word.
I will continue with Docile.
leviathan
If you wish, you may start a new thread with the "Fazan & associations Ltd game".
The correct spelling is Leningrad (now called Saint Petersburg).
So, from Leningrad, we could have chosen adaptable to get to leviathan.
And I choose:
lease
The forbidden endings:
*ea, *er, *ia, *fy, *ic, *ky, *ly, *ll, *on, *ty, *um, *us, *xo
and all the other two consonant endings that don't start a word.
Sent
I don't think there are any words beginning with nt, so I continue from lease.

Can't think of any words for "Ce" or "Nce" so i'm doing it from Seminar.

leprosy (er only has like, 4 possibilities)

The problem is that without many options available, we'll start repeating words quite often.
That's why the forbidden endings appeared:.
*ea, *er, *ia, *fy, *ic, *ky, *ly, *ll, *on, *ty, *um, *us, *xo
and all the other two consonant endings that don't start a word.

These are forbiddens laid down by the supreme moderator KZ himself, and I believe it was mostly because they were overused, not because they were impossible to find a word for.

Hence, in order to avoid repetition and a lot of frustration, those endings have been forbidden.

Kindly do read the list- "er" is also a forbidden ending!

Quote from: KZ on February 03, 2010, 10:53:28 AM
This neat little forum game was introduced by "Xander100", with the following description:
"Well I don't know if you guys know it but is fun ! In my country we play it!
You start with a word , the next guy must say another word that starts with the first 2 initial the same as the last 2 initials of the aboves word . I don't think I am explaining good so here is an example:
house - serious - usage - geronimo - moisture - reload - added
P.S. Try to make words that the next can continue with a new word !
P.S. I don't know if in your country you have a game thats like this , but in this forum i don't saw a game like this ! "
Continuing on from the old forums, the last word is:
errata
PS
As we were playing the game, we decided to avoid words that end on certain two-letter combinations, because there were very few words that started with those. Hence, "Ertxiem" compiled a succinct list of all the forbidden endings for words:
"The forbidden endings:
*ia, *ic, *ky, *ly, *ll, *on, *ty, *um, *us, *xo, *er, *ry
and all the other two consonant endings that don't start a word."

To rephrase that, those have too little words that can link. You don't expect to spam "rye" and end up in a loop?
