Kaladont - Word Game
Posted: Sat Dec 01, 2012 12:52 am
Due to my inability/lazyness I will let the game roll on it's own pace without a scoreboard.
If I'm given something to give away again I'll start the scoreboard.
When there is a tie, the last person to reach the tied score gets put ontop.
(If you think I missed a win or gave an extra one, PM me.)

Kaladont is a word game played in the Croatian and Serbian language, and we're going to play the English variant of it!
This is how it's played, you take the previous word's last two letters (e.g.: "Freedom") and think of a new word starting with those letters (e.g.: "Omnivore").
The person who writes a word ending in two characters from which a new word cannot be derived, wins! Then they pick a new word, thus beginning a new round.
That's all! Sounds easy? That's why there are a few rules to make the game more challenging!
Thread rules:
No names or words derived from names.
No plural forms or words that have the same form in both numbers (e.g. "electronics"; "electronic" is OK, though).
No forms ending with -ing (e.g. "using"; "use" is OK, though).
No forms ending with -ness (e.g. "sickness"; "sick" is OK, though).
No abbreviations (this includes acronyms, contractions, and shortenings).
No repeated words in a round.
No words ending with "LL" (e.g. "Wall," or "Hill")
No words from foreign languages and no slang.
Each word has to be at least six letters long. **Changed to 6 for... well. Makes it more interesting**
Each round has to last for at least four words. (e.g.: Healthcare - Rebel - Elbow - Owl - This is the minimum length.)
Use proper spelling!
After posting you will have to wait 3 hours OR 3 posts before you can post again.

Sometimes it happens that someone comes up with a word which technically is valid according to the rules, but if gets overused it will ruin the gameplay, such words will be counted as invalid and they are listed here.

Remember: the point of this game is to find the appropriate words yourself, not use Google to do it for you!
