Discussion of Cafe games #4

A "looking glass" is an old term for a mirror.

Well a lot of the fun has gone out of this, as I won't post now unless I can see a very simple connection. We seem to have agreed amongst ourselves that,

Tildes are out
Double or triple words are out
Explanations are out
Hyphenated words are discouraged

Perhaps we could have the easy version as now, and another harder version where anything goes. All newspapers have the straight crossword and the cryptic one, often in the same grid, with the same answers, but with different levels of clues.

[ducks and runs for cover...]

Or introduce a "challenge" rule - if you can't see the link challenge the poster to declare their hand, sorry link.

Or simply buy glasses maybe.

So more rules you´ll implement so less users will play.

(btw - Is John still in Nidd aft his abortive attempt to cross the Cam via Kings?)

Beets: I had tried to pass on the win as I was busy yesterday. I never PMed anyone, and I see the thread is sitting idly by. Should I go ahead and post a pic as I am around, or should I just wait.

I thought it was "WORD" link, single linked words. I may be wrong as I have never seen the "rules". However it is really not a challenge to post more than one word.

Looking glass tree, should have been just Tree, that would have got people thinking and is exactly the point of the game.

Good point Bernie. The intention is to post only one word.

OK could I ask for a cease fire here, I actually like to check this thread for any intelligent comments/discussions about cafe games.

Having to sort through 15+ post of rubbish does not fill me with joy.

Could you not start a separate thread for this?

What is a word? An entry in the dictionary?

Julie, a link is just that, one word. It seems, we have a new game, multiwords, but UK in nature.
Other wise enlighten us!

I don't mind if we use more than one word in the Word Link. I always thought we were supposed to use one word only.
____________

Yes but it's more of a challenge.

For instance, Silent Films, as it was proceeded by Chaplin, either silent or films could have been used, both is overkill. IMHO.

I go with you on this one Bernie, but Julie is the OP, so its her call.

I think he is trying to get his own back for his not understanding the finer points of the game.

I know what you mean Bernie, but Vic on occasions may need a guiding hand.

Op or not the game has a historical rule--one word only. Players should respect the rule

Thanks Blurf. That is how it started.

Honestly what ever the OP aka Julie says is the rule is how I will play, I like others especially in this group are well capable of thinking of one or two words in reaction to one or two words... HAHA OP, you have my support name the game and I will play.

On a separate note, I took Dave's invitation and re-started the TV Trivia thread.
