[Dixonary] Round 2999 AULACOGEN Results
I thought AULACOGEN was a good word, as I could see no possible etymology.
The OED says it comes from the ancient Greek for 'furrow' via Russian. It means, as four far-sighted playes guessed, a rift valley. You all came up with some imaginative defs. It's fitting that our long-serving statistician, Mike Shefler, should take the honour of dealing Round 3000. He got 6 votes for his fungal defence mechanism. The real winner is Judy Madnick, who got an unnatural 5 for her biocompatible polysaccharide. Over to you, Mike. -- Tim L *** AULACOGEN *** 1. Nitrogen.

Johnny
Thanks for reminding us all of the archive at dixonary.net - I'd forgotten that it contained the original discussion that led to the birth of the game. It's extraordinary that it's taken almost exactly 30 years (plus 16 days) to get to Round 3000. And it's a tribute to the game's instigators that it survived being played on slow and expensive dial-up connections - I was on 9600 bps when I started, but five years ealier in 1989 it was probably even slower. -- Tim L On Saturday, July 20, 2019 at 12:02:37 PM UTC+1, jo...

Re: [Dixonary] Round 2999 AULACOGEN Results
OZWIN was another forum on compuserve and it played a game that was very
similar to dixonary which was on the Tapcis forum. Ozwin was sort of dedicated to forum control but of course when compuserve went AOL-like there was no need for such software. *JohnnyB* On 20/07/2019 22:29, Shani Naylor wrote: > What's the 'other' game? > > > > On Sun, 21 Jul 2019, 3:37 AM Johnb - co.uk <http://co.uk>, > <johnb (AT) john-barrs (DOT) co.uk <mailto:johnb (AT) john-barrs (DOT) co.uk>> wrote: > > I was playing the 'other' game - OZWIN - on 36k for some years > (how? - I don't know: but I do remember much earlier connecting to > CIS by acoustic coupler - maybe 45 bps if you were lucky) > > *JohnnyB* > On 20/07/2019 14:05, France International/Mike Shefler wrote: >> 1200 baud IIRC. >> >> On 7/20/2019 7:38 AM, Tim Lodge wrote: >>> Johnny >>> >>> Thanks for reminding us all of the archive at dixonary.net >>> <http://dixonary.net> - I'd forgotten that it contained the >>> original discussion that led to the birth of the game.* It's >>> extraordinary that it's taken almost exactly 30 years (plus 16 >>> days) to get to Round 3000.* And it's a tribute to the game's >>> instigators that it survived being played on slow and expensive >>> dial-up connections - I was on 9600 bps when I started, but five >>> years ealier in 1989 it was probably even slower. >>> >>> -- Tim L >>> >>> On Saturday, July 20, 2019 at 12:02:37 PM UTC+1, >>> jo...

Re: [Dixonary] Round 2999 AULACOGEN Results
There were apparently multiple “other” games.* I got started on the CompuServe MPGAMES forum, and was referred to the TAPCIS version from there.* MPGAMES eventually merged with GAMERS and that community still lives on a website called DreamLyrics which maintained a version of the “other” game until a few years ago.
But the original TAPCIS version is what lives on here!

Ozwin was sort of dedicated to forum control but of course when compuserve went AOL-like there was no need for such software. JohnnyB On 20/07/2019 22:29, Shani Naylor wrote: What's the 'other' game?

Back in the early days I learned a lot of new words, and I am not
talking about the ones provided by the game.
