The Early Slavs: Culture and Society in early Medieval Eastern Europe
by P. M. Barford

Is the word "the" counted ?

"Is the word ʻtheʻ counted?" (181)

No, not when it is the initial word of the title. Hence, "(The) Phantom" (178) plays on the last letter, P, of 177; and "The Early S lavs" (180)
plays on the last letter, E, of 179.

Does it apply to a "quite a similar game" - Another Silly Game - Rule No. 4.Just a clarification. No fast rule neccessary, just for pure fun.

Empire Falls by

Richard Russo

ʻDoes it apply to . . ."Another Silly Game"; well,the question raised by articles is not the same as in this game, because in "Silly" we;re not held to
letter-linkings (like final > next initial letter) . Bust, as Ir remember it, "a", "an" and "the" do NOT "count", in that they may not be used as the word
that connects the current title to the previous one.
Other short common words ARE allowable, but seldom played on. But they must be exact duplicates: You canʻt play on "learned" if "learnʻd" was the exact word of the previous.

Empire Falls by

Richard Russo

Msg 201: Sat You're One of Them

Msg 202: The Monkey's Raincoat

Note:alphabet , "m' should be the last letter, and the letter, "t" is not to be counted. The article, "the" is neccessary to make a complete book title.

Three Came Home - Agnes Newton Keith

On 205:
"THE LETTER ʻTʻ is not to be counted. . ."
(emphasis added)

--Shouldnʻt that be "THE WORD ʻtheʻ , not
"the letter ʻtʻ " ?

201 > 202 looks all right to me: -M of
"them" (201) > M- of "Monkeyʻs" ("Monkeyʻs"
being the first word AFTEr an article.

What you s ay about the article "the" being necessary (o.e. "counting") is true for the "Vanna" game but not for this one.

3723. Anthony Adverse, by Hervey Allen (read 30 Mar 2003)

#210 did not play on #209, but nobody seems to care so I won't either...

On 209>210, 224

"210 did not play on 209..."

Iʻm assuming that 210 figured the title as ending with the word "NapoleoN" and hence played on the -N, ignoring "a biography". Strictly speaking, youʻre right, 210 should have played on -Y, and it would have been all right to omit "a biography" from
210ʻs own citation.

Playing on 224, because no book is cited in 225.

by Ishmael Reed

On 441-443, 459

I think 443 didnʻt get it wrong. Hesʻ the last one I would expect to make a mistake on this*. Itʻs just that 443 played on the final -s of 441; and 442, which did the same, beat 443 by 2 minutes.
But I think youʻre right to "play from 458 anyway", since the "mistake" wasnʻt detected back in the 440s.

*On my track record Iʻm one of the FIRST who would get it wrong!

Thanks for the encomium, Roland, though probably undeserved. #442 did sneak in ahead of me, but I should have checked when my post appeared, but obviously did not, and for that I apologize to all. So if the non sequitur is noted promptly we should play on the last correct post? I am for that.
