--- Quote from: His Lordship on April 21, 2015, 09:29:36 pm ---Sines is derived from sine, a previous word. Your previous word.
--- End quote ---
It's playable because it's not directly after sine, the rule only applies to consecutive posts.
Going from sins - shins
--- End quote ---
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.
--- End quote ---
'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.
--- End quote ---
"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.
Snowzak:
I'm confused, what's the latest word? ##
His Lordship:
Mine, sinew
Al:
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
