The word for round 1621 is
*************
* *
* QUEASOM *
* *
*************
Capitalization is not significant.
Due to the circumstances of dealing during a road trip, I'm going to stretch the deadlines somewhat. If you're a DQ, please let me know ASAP.
Please submit your fake definitions for this word, by _email_, ccarson (AT) ix (DOT) netcom.com on or before the deadline, which is 8:00 PM EDT on Friday, June 24, 2005, or 5:00 PM PDT.
As always, new players are welcome. I'm going to shamelessly plagiarize Hugo's rules synopsis for any newcomers. The official rules are in the Parlor on Tapcis.com or available in the Coryphaeus group on Yahoo.
New to the game? Like to participate but unsure what to do? No problem - the
rules are easy:
1. DON'T LOOK UP THE WORD IN YOUR DICTIONARY!!!! If you already happen to
know the meaning of the word, let me know as soon as possible (by personal
e-mail - see below). You can still submit a definition to earn points by
fooling the others, but you can't vote yourself. If too many people know the
word, I'll just select a new one and restart the round.
2. Create a dictionary-definition for the word. Try to make it believable,
funny, or whatever else it takes to fool the other players.
3. Send your fake definition to me, BY PERSONAL E-MAIL!! If you read this on
the web, send e-mail to ccarson (AT) ix (DOT) netcom.com - don't post a reply to this
message on the web!! If you read this in a mail from the Coryphaeus Yahoo
Group, send e-mail to ccarson (AT) ix (DOT) netcom.com - don't reply directly to this
message (it will be sent to the group!)
4. Check back here later, some time after the deadline. I'll post a list of
all definitions I received, plus the one and only correct definition I found
in my dictionary. You'll get two chances to pick the correct one (but I'll
explain that part of the game in more process in that message).
That's about it (unless I've forgotten anything). Be creative and have fun!
