Platoon = masterpiece ??? I assume that referred to the film "Platoon" |

Hi Bernie, hmm, a bit tenuous at best ... The problem, if that's the word, is that we are a diverse bunch spread across the globe. It's difficult to guess how someone else's mind works. I am prepared to give a little leeway. :-) |

Hi Bernie, hmm, a bit tenuous at best ... A link is a link. Some of the fun in this game is the spontaneous link that forms in your mind upon seeing a word. Explaining the link takes the fun out of it. |

Hi all, Sorry if my "Masterpiece" was wrong with "Platoon" Red card for me ! Bernie was right : it was in reference to Oliver Stone's movie and this is the first thing that came to my mind... I will try to be less fanciful in the future But I thought this game was more intuitive Stricto sensu the meaning of the word Sorry again... |

Thomas, the Seti boards are renowned for the characters that post in them, and who bring a unique flavour and vibrance to them. They are a legend in their own lifetime. You said a mouthful there, buddy...LOL. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

It wasn't wrong Thomas, perhaps I'm just not as good at this game as others! As usual I'm happy to go with the majority view :-) I look at it as a learning opportunity Chris. It is not about being good or bad at the game. |

It isn't free association. I think if a poster has a non obvious link, perhaps a hyperlink to an explanation should be the word. e.g. [ url=explanation_page ] non-obvious [ /url ] Saves a bit of discussion here and doesn't disrupt the flow. Have a question. Should we ask that posters not display their signatures in the word thread? Would get more words per screen for people reading it. |
