Johnny accidentally DQd in public (and so everyone else who saw his
message is a DQ too). Unfortunately, deleting it off the website is
not the same as zapping a CompuServe forum post was. The mistaken
forum post would only be seen by someone who happened to do a pass
through the forum messages between the time you posted it and the time
you zapped it. But Yahoo! emails a copy off to everyone straightaway.
The new word for round 1708 is
*********************
* *
* G O O S A N D E R *
* *
*********************
Capitalization is not significant.
Please concoct a fake definition for this word that you think your
fellow players will find plausible, or entertaining, or both.
Newcomers to the game are always welcome: your task is to induce the
other players to vote for your fake definition rather than the real
one. You will find the full rules at
http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/coryphaeus/files
but they can be summarized thus:
1. Don't look the word up.
2. Make up a fake definition and email it to me.
3. Check back here after the deadline.
The deadline for submissions is on 10 May 2006 at
22:30 PDT
23:30 MDT
and on 11 May 2006 at
00:30 CDT
01:30 EDT
05:30 UTC
06:30 BST
and 07:30 CEST for me.
For this round only, you can send definitions to
round.1708 (AT) prodigycomputing (DOT) com. This is not a requirement: other
email addresses you have for me will also work (except my
compuserve.com address, now relinquished). To help my email program
deal appropriately with your email, please put "1708" or "GOOSANDER"
in the subject line.
In the normal way, I would offer to recycle old GLADDON defs for
GOOSANDER if I didn't get another, but I don't think that's
appropriate this time, since they've been posted already.
