Re: New setting: Strict/Lenient Rules, aka: No pedants and buzzkills?

The fashion in which some people interpret the rules can seem confusing and not always consistent. The rules do seem to be a little vague and fuzzy in themselves which probably doesn't help. I have written words that do not seem to break any rules, only to have them struck because they do not seem t...

rhymes

Sorry to start another thread, but this is a separate subject from the other one, I feel. The clue was Lightning, and I put Frightning, a la the Queen song, Bohemian Rhapsody. But even without the association of that song, I feel that it would be a valid clue. Many humans and animals find rthunder a...

Anagrams

We had the clue Palm come up, and i was struggling as my clue Frond was a match, and i was thinking if I had typed Lamp, would it have been allowed ? And are Anagrams actually that useful to the guesser, or are they distracting ?

Re: Is it possible to avoid playing with trade-hiders?

Many people seem to have missed the point of the Op.It was not to criticize folks who choose not to trade, although this is a closely related issue. The Op was wanting an option to set up a table where trading is encouraged, or at least that trade hiding is not wanted. (And evoking the spirit of God...

Re: The BGA karma system in broken

I fi d the game of Catan naturally makesone suspicious. When coming across two players whohad the same ip, I automatically assumed that they were colluding against me, but this happens regularly in King of Tokyo, and I do not have the same feelings.
