Discussion of Cafe games #4

I'm confused as well ....

dovecoat > Scotland?

Do we need to move it to politics?

What I do when wondering is just enter the two words in Google, if it comes up with and answer, as it does with Dovecote Scotland then all is well.

Takes a few seconds.
____________

A dovecote or dovecot (play /ˈdʌvkɒt/) (Scots: Doocot) is a structure intended to house pigeons or doves. Dovecotes may be square or circular free-standing structures or built into the end of a house or barn. They generally contain pigeonholes for the birds to nest.[1] Pigeons and doves were an important food source historically in Western Europe and were kept for their eggs, flesh, and dung.[2] In Scotland the tradition is continued in modern urban areas.

Did someone day Dovecote? Here is one I made a couple of years ago.

I would say that the connection is very tenuous at best, and probably shouldn't have been allowed. The only link is the Scots spelling of Dovecote. Doocot would have been OK. However it's academic now anyway. Sorry Julie :-)

It matters not, it's only a game :-)

That's true:)

It seems the rules dont apply to everyone.

As long as we're having fun, playing it...

Well I am, and I hope everyone else is. Look, if we all want to, we could relax the rules a little bit, but we would all need to agree upon that. Perhaps the best way is to elect an adjudicator, agreeable to all, that will rule on iffy ones.

But .... it's only a game ....

Now having fun can be a serious business

PS. Are we having fun yet?

In all seriousness the word link can progress fast at times and there would be no point in deleting a post as all the others would not follow.

That's true and IMHO everybody followed the rules quite well till now.

Right!

Decision!

Lol:)) Nothing happened...

Yeah, I know, but don't tell the rest of 'em

I can see why people get confused/upset in the Word Link. I saw "commander" and was about to post "salamander" when I relized that 99.99% of the people in the world have never heard of the funky little store of that name here in my home town. It is right next door to the Frilly Lizard. Another word link locals would get, but everybody else might miss.

I do remember a couple of times replying with really arcane inside jokes. At the time when an explanation was allowed.
