BranShea Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/23/06 Posts: 3737 Loc: Netherlands, the Hague	It might be on Wordsmith Talk, in general I guess not. But we got it ( with a little smuggling act; administrator ) down from that 11-letter word back to the starting point. Evaluating: I found 5-to-8-letter words the most interesting to play with. Like Wofahu said: too many letters freeze the game. I like the sort of parallel 'communication' that went on through the game. It was fun. I'm not to decide; maybe some people want to start another thread or continue on this one. It's been fun to me.

wofahulicodoc Pooh-Bah Registered: 08/06/01 Posts: 2305 Loc: Worcester, MA	Let's think for a moment before we decide whether to start a BRAND-new thread or to continue this one. In the past some have noted that with a dial-up connection it takes a very long time to load a long thread...perhaps too long. Others have pre-emptively started a new thread whenever the instant one reached 500 posts. Before we proceed, is there consensus? Should we take a poll?

BranShea Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/23/06 Posts: 3737 Loc: Netherlands, the Hague	A poll could show if 'regulars' are still interested. A technical motive for keeping the thread-length shorter counts. So a poll I guess....?? BRAND still the valid word?

Jackie Carpal Tunnel Registered: 03/15/00 Posts: 10392 Loc: Louisville, Kentucky	I don't play much, but I'd vote for starting a (brand) new thread. (Nice one, wofa!)

BranShea Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/23/06 Posts: 3737 Loc: Netherlands, the Hague	I've played many too many but would vote for a new thread and a restriction on the maximum number of letters and posts. 200? I should play less (but wordgames are very tempting ..)I did like the circle, getting back to the starting word. Edited by BranShea (10/29/09 04:36 AM)
