A NEW Word Game

[BeastMaster]

Based on the success of Riddler's Word Association Thread, I'm starting a new one.

In one of the Black Fleet Crisis books (I can't remember which one), a few New Republic personnel were playing a word game over their ship's intercom. It went like this:

One person says a word. (eg. Tower)

The next person says a word that starts the way the previous word ends. (eg. Error)

(Go by the last syllable.)

(Proper names and non-english words aren't allowed.)

I'll start with

[Argath]

I believe he meant start a new word using whatever letters are in the last syllable of the word he posted, not post a word that rhymes.

[lightbulba]

etc, etc.

[Darth Crater]

I don't have to look it up; icth means fish, and oid means form or shape, so I assume it means fish-shaped.

oidium

[theahnfahn]

umm

(Who can build on that? And it is legal http://www.jediknight.net/mboard/smile.gif)

And bulbous, acronyms, unless widely accepted ones such as radar and laser, are not considered words. Stick with proper english http://www.jediknight.net/mboard/smile.gif

Ummayads

[theahnfahn]

I don't much prefer proper nouns, seeing as how any name can be made up to form a word, but I will let this slide.

[lightbulba]

"st" isn't neccisarily the last syllable, nor are proper names allowed. therefore, a ballot in the black box for ostracize.

All part of my master plan! I knew someone would open up the narrow passage to my victory if I used "ess" and they used "essential".

Surely that means I win? If I came up with the end word?
