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

Computer

------------------
"The Beasts know much that we do not." -Ancient Jedi proverb

what was i thinking?

Shooter

------------------
"Being Jedi isn't an easy task"

Cuter


------------------
Now I am the master (Darth Vader, A New Hope)

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.

etc, etc.

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

umm

(Who can build on that? And it is legal )

And bulbous, acronyms, unless widely accepted ones such as radar and laser, are not considered words. Stick with proper english

it's amazing how useful these little "intel inside" stickers can be...

Ummayads

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.
