Default [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.

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.

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)

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.

Default 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 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.

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.

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