I think it's time we brought this back.
Rules of C1L game is as follows
(special thanks to Zecchini who helped during the rules' formulation | Originally posted by Valdremia):
The object is to change one letter ONLY, and make a new word. You can drop a letter, add a letter or change a letter, but only change one thing. You have to keep it going until no one can make another word. You CANNOT play off of your own word. NO PROPER NOUNS, NO ABBREVIATIONS AND NO ACRONYMS ALLOWED! Each word played must be found in one of the 4 ENGLISH LANGUAGE dictionaries listed here.
When no one can make another word. That's the end of the game. The last successful person is the winner.
Example:
player 1-dark
player 2-dart
player 3-tart
(I) Game starts:
all winners of previous round will post 4-letter words for the next new round to start.
(II) Winner:
The winner of the game will be concluded only when the game ends for the week, i.e. as per clan time's end of each Sunday. If the game proceeds to have a conclusion nearing or after its prevailing week and trickles over to next week, a minimum of 48 hours* from last posted word left uncontended to be declared the winner. This is also to give others who might not be on forum daily, a chance to play or counter as well.
*Pertaining to last contended word under normal circumstances where there is none dispute or arrears to the word played or played on. However, when the word played and/or those played after it are questionable, disputed and/or requires validation, 48hours starts from the time/date it is validated. This is to ensure that players have ample time to contest the word and would not have lost of opportunities since they been pre-led to play off the invalid word.
(III) WORDS PLAYING OFF ITSELF and REPEATS
(1) You can't repeat a word that was previously used. Ex: word words word wouldn't work.
(2) You cannot play a word directly off its previous** under the following conditions:
- Changing of tenses (past to present vice versa): e.g. Sit > Sat, Lend > Lent, Baffle > Baffled, Know > Known.
- Changing of plurals versus singular: e.g. Play > Plays, Gasps > Gasp.
- Use of adjectives: e.g. Large > Larger, Trick > Tricky, Sex > Sexy.
- Change of spelling same word: e.g. Carat > Karat.
- Cases of words obviously playing off itself under the same genre of meaning: e.g. Muffled > Muffler > Muffle, Battled > Battles > Battler > Battle
**Note: under certain circumstances where words are played off directly but does not fall under the above conditions such as for e.g. Crate > Crater, Read > Ready (clearly different meanings/words), it is acceptable. If there are disputes please raise concerns with valid reasons. I will do my best to assess it.
(3) No professional-related words that does not exists in the English dictionaries stipulated in the game links.
(IV) Dictionaries
4 Dictionaries STRICTLY to refer to are:
CAMBRIDGE DICTIONARY ONLINE (http://dictionary.cambridge.org/Default.asp?dict=CALD)
CONCISED OXFORD (http://www.askoxford.com/?view=uk)
MERRIAM-WEBSTER (assoc. Encyclopædia Britannica) (http://www.merriam-webster.com/)
AMERICAN-HERITAGE (http://www.bartleby.com/61/)
(V) Added exceptions - Spelling (American vs English)
Both are acceptable. So long as we stick to an existing word, same meaning, English based. You may use the Cambridge link to check the American Spelling:

So a word or derivative of the word was previously used in the same round it cannot be used again. That means Mojo did break a rule so from that point the game shouldn't have continued. The winner should be revoked and the game reversed back to the end of page 3, on the word former.

(2) You cannot play a word directly off its previous** under the following conditions:
- Use of adjectives: e.g. Large > Larger, Trick > Tricky, Sex > Sexy.
- Cases of words obviously playing off itself under the same genre of meaning: e.g. Muffled > Muffler > Muffle, Battled > Battles > Battler > Battle
?
Lmao, in fact trick > tricky is in there.
Prick
A trick is defined as something totally different to tricky.
A trick is something a magician does, and tricky means difficult.
Not a play on words at all, the original poster is an idiot.
It wasn't about being the same definition, you're not allowed use the Adjective of the word, it's clearly stated in the rules lol.
Tricky isn't always an adjective of trick.
In fact it rarely is.
In fact, it never is these days.
vio pls
^^
OP was Val, not me.
As far as I can see, using 'tricky' as an adjective of 'trick' is technically correct in terms of the language, but it's dated.
Because I can't actually think of a way to use both noun and adjective with the corresponding definitions, I'll let it play.
Go from tricky.
I can get an answer from Valdremia. Give me a few more hours.
Srs bsns
VALDREMIA: Oh wow. It's amazing you guys are still at the game it's a very challenging game to chair actually. Ok, it'll take some explanation, so here goes.
Well, to answer your question. That rule is actually based on "context" to determine what words cannot be played out on its "own" meaning e.g. if by adding a "y" (usually) does not create another word that is out of contextual meaning then it cannot be played.
By that it would mean "trick" is about magic and say a prank, "tricky" means someone is being playful in pranks or does magical tricks on something/someone or simply sly etc. By context they are talking about the same context under tricks, playful, pranks, magic. With that in mind, that means it cannot be played.
However, the rule itself is tricky to grasps and sometimes debatable. The reason behind why it was there in the first place was because there had been lots of arguments in past games where a winning word was easily awarded to someone else simply by playing off the same word of same context over and over again: battle > battler > battles (still talking about battle/fighting)...it got to the point, too many playoffs were made and it became a lame way to win and also seen as an easy "steal" not worthy of a win by many players - it had been questioned quite a few times. Several players got really upset. Hence, a line was finally drawn to forbid such playoffs.
If you think by erasing the rule you can manage the expectations of such contentions especially where a winner is due to be made, by all means go ahead. By my experience after the numerous C1LG I've chaired, all the rules in the current version you're playing was created based on all past games' lessons and listed to protect every player's interest to as fair as possible a game, or at least try to, without shredding it naked and bare, and create unnecessary upsets.
So there it is, hope that explains.
__________________________
KARLFISCHER: Agree with my wife; if you want a smooth game you will need clear rules because you cant really depend on the English language to give clear-cut answers. There will be linguistic casualties, but the point is to have a fun game rather than plumb the intricacies of the English language.

Yeah, but it only appears as the second part in a hyphenated word. Searching it alone yields no results.

That's not correct.
It counts for all posts.
The original post says "directly", not "consecutively".
The word is DIRECTLY derived from a previous word even if not consecutively.

The word is DIRECTLY derived from a previous word even if not consecutively.
'Directly' isn't the operative word, 'previous' is - which in this case refers to the former of any two consecutive posts.
'Directly' is used in regards to the language, 'previous' is used in regards to the posting order.
@Vio Ok. I thought ham still was the plural of ham. Nevermind.

"You cannot play a word directly off its previous."
The WORD's previous, not the POST's previous.
It's the word that's the possessive, not the post.
I'm confused, what's the latest word? ##
Mine, sinew
Yeah I'm confused too. ## ##
I don't think you should be able to play a word that's been played in the round...which applies if you played 'dog' already and you play 'dogs'. That shouldn't be allowed, and I think that's what the rule actually is/what Gene is saying?
I believe sinew wins, can we skip the 3 day wait for the new round. :P

"You cannot play a word directly off its previous."
The WORD's previous, not the POST's previous.
It's the word that's the possessive, not the post.
They are the same thing - the word "previous" in that instance cannot practially define anything other than the immediate former post.
Otherwise it would have to say something along the lines of "...directly off any other variation of the root word previously used within the current round"
Runescape metaphor:
WG has just won a fight with Gladz on Friday, and Mojo wants to war Genocide on Saturday.
Lordship says "The clan you choose for the war cannot have the same initials as its previous."
Mojo says OK, and declares war on Divine Forces instead.
Lordship cancels the war, and says "You cannot war Divine Forces because we warred Downfall 6 years ago and they have the same initials."

Vio, we've moved on now.
