Hardly exhausted the possibilities at 490, and not a concensus to restart. This makes it too easy. I'm out.
But just to get you going -

t h r e a d

#2 QB see my private message to you. consensus has not been used to restart, as far as i know, on any games. somebody just does it when the games get long and require greater load times that some members find inconvenient. doesn't really change the game. . .???? the word you play on is exactly what it would have been had we stayed on the old thread.

@199 don't think we can have french words!

p l i e r s

//#206 re: #199

i decided to use it as outrée is the feminine of outré, which is defined by Wiktionary and dictionary.com. outreé itself is defined by Wiktionary. however, i neglected to look on a scrabble list--never thought of it--but looked just now and outré is on it but not outrée. so Wiktionary defines it but i shouldn't have used it. i've used the word for years. picked it up from reading Mary Renault and others. that doesn't make it legit for this game. i am humbled, repentant and contrite.

//if you're okay with this as in 'aces and eights,' 'crazy eights,' boats with 8 rowers.

Yes, all those, and also in Bibliography - an expression indicating the number of leaves in a sheet of an early printed book.
e.g. "It is a quarto, and consists of A to I in eights."

And in figure skating - "Cutting eights that day upon the pond." (Tennyson)

And also as in #613 ?

//oh bugger! i swear i checked! obviously, nahsomuch. i like that bit about quartos.//

f i g h t y

Glad you didn't mind my pointing it out, and I really am sorry to do this, but isn't "eights" to "fighty" a two letter change?

@621..no mirror was taking fighty from 617 eighty..she cancelled her eights as it was done before.

so we go from fighty

//#621 this is so, anirose. thanks. i should have said that i had gone back to the last correct play.

and ink, i never mind having errors called to my attention even if there be ever so many in a row. them's the rules. like everyone else, and perhaps more than most, i make mistakes and it's helpful to have someone checking up.

Yes, yes, of course. I appear to have been in a complete muddle, and feel very humbled.

@700 I don't think I would use that spelling, or one of the other alternatives such as chere or cheir unless I was quoting something long gone. All archaic; but the link which mirrordrum provided quotes a usage in Fielding's Tom Jones, so I hope that's not too long ago.

inkvisitor re chears. tom jones was in the 17 somethings! i think we should keep our words current, to what one might use today. once we start going 'back' there is no end to what we could post. could be too many messages back and forth, for word clarification and then we would all have to agree on how far back is acceptable. imagine the canterbury tales. lol.... just my opinion though, to keep things simple.

Yes, good point, I quite agree - where would it end?

//#720 i have a question about how we codify rules in re: currency of words we can use. i have no problem with obsolete words but am willing to go with the flow. i like learning words, obsolete or not.

suppose we ask that when players use obsolete, or highly specialized or uncommon words, a reference or explanation be provided as ink did in #709. #720 sation, for example, anirose, i can only find as an obsolete word used by Thomas Browne in 1671. i admit i didn't search exhaustively.

if it is the current wish that we not use obsolete words, how are these to be defined so that the rule may be applied easily either by the player using the word or those questioning it?

would it be fair to add a rule that a word played must appear in the scrabble dictionary? that's where i check words i'm not sure about. it would also help determine whether or not a given proper noun is appropriate to play.

//777 actually, it does. just change the 'b' to an 's' and voila!

yessir

~ 778: so where did the 'c' in 770 come from?

ah, what's a 'c' between friends.

//779 re: 770. now mine was an error. i played on 768 because 769 hadn't shown up yet. ideally you go back after a few minutes to be sure you didn't get scooped. well, i didn't check and i was WRONG but nobody caught it till now so, according to the rules, that makes 769 the last correct post.

it's much more challenging if we follow the rules: no repetitions and play on last correct. i'm therefore going to play on the last correct which was 769:
