Oh, c'mon.  We've still got all the digits to the left, and the entire
lowercase alphabet to the right.  So breadbox will run into trouble
first.  :-)

And if that happens I'll just shift things over to the right ten columns
or so.

The noble and eminently recursive Joe Java, proud member of the Razor

willing to dirty eir own hands by associating with those who would mock
eir creation of the Sword of Kahless.  E further requests that I convey

As round 3 of Word Un-Association draws to a close:

JT attempted to link with "worm."  The link from "worm" to "bird" is
strong, but since the link from "worm" to "page" depends on "book" (a
bookworm eats pages) I think I'll have to reject this.

Koxvolio attempted to link with "feather."  The link to "bird" is obvious,
and while the link to "page" is ingenious (pages often have feathers in
their caps) and works off another meaning of "page" than what we've been
dealing with, I think the link is too tenuous.  This was rejected.

TGW linked with "call," drawing on yet a third meaning of "page."  This
was accepted.

else...if attempted to link with "wing."  The Ref could not find a way to
directly link "page" with "wing" and else...if did not provide any
reasoning, so this was rejected.  Again, I would advise Confused to submit
justification for your link, as the Ref may be thinking along completely
different lines.

Slakko, somewhat surprisingly, failed to submit a link word.  rufus,
somewhat unsurprisingly, did too.

Scores, very similar to last round, are:
Slakko: 3
TGW: 3
Koxvolio: 2
Attila the Pun: 1
rufus: 1
else...if: 1
JT: 1

For round 4, the duties of Linker fall to else...if.  If, from now on,
Linkers wish to submit eir own intended link word along with the new uh?
word for the round, this will make the game marginally faster in the event
that all the Confused fail to come up with a word, as almost happened this
time 'round.

Tell me about this mysterious Eleusis game. Or, rather, tell me: is it easy
enough to learn that I could do it in under 30 minutes?

I think it is Robert, but then again, I proposed it :)
Rules are to be found in the games and contests rules suite :)

In a nutshell:  One player(Deus)comes up with a law governing correct
sequences of cards(like, after a prime number you have to play red,
otherwise you have to play black).  Players take turns playing cards
and Deus tells them when the plays are correct.  A player who thinks
e knows what the law is can become the Prophet, and takes over judging
correctness(until the Deus says they're wrong).

Something like that, anyway.

Mind you, the game itself might last as long as Spades is...(which reminds
me, I probably took that last trick, didn't I?)
