Discussion of Cafe games #4

Shiny new thread, please continue. And if it isn't obvious, say which game your post relates to.

Thanx Donald:) Some people will be less annoyed now.

I think we are lucky to have Julie’s wise council.

I admit to using the ~ but it felt wrong.

If a word is not an obvious match I google it and have only found one time when I could see no link.

I like the change.

That's good to hear Bernie:)

Getting hairy in there, I iz staying away ....

Tilde this. I think the original intent was for compound words, those that are a single entry in the dictionary but are also two individual words, hyphenated or not. I think the intent was to show which word was the one being posted, the other being the previous post. A sort of not only can I post one word, but I got two words in one flourish.

Maybe some examples:

bad
hand > ~full -- full doesn't really flow from hand, even though "handful" (note spelling difference) is a word.

questionable
soup > ~bowl -- bowl only flows through "soup bowl"

acceptable
soup > ~kitchen -- kitchen does flow from soup and "soup kitchen" also

Unfortunately I don't know how to reduce this to a simple rule, if Julie was of a mind to allow it.

The tilde is unnecessary.

In each of your examples the link is obvious, but maybe a little devious.
It is up to the person following to establish their own links between the words, and not be spoon-fed in a given direction. The real art is find a new word that will force the next person into a blind alley.

100% agree. Us adults know the score, let the kids squabble amongst themselves ........

Wonder if the politically correct police will allow U-Boat? Hmmm ...

To be fair I would have said the same thing. And why multiple words for the last few posts. Or is this an anti-anti tilde protest?

Edit~ Is every word now going to be googled before a person can play?
