Lovely picture, Candy. I didn' know there's ties involved now. Haven't been in this thread for a while. I remember there once were some issues about using proper names, but when I saw Wofa use Rwanda I thought Darwin could go as well. That's all.

Used to be, actually, I think, and I presumptuously ignored them for the purpose of getting less-than-obvious rearrangements into play. Mea culpa, and may it be the worst transgression we perpetrate... wink

so....there are only a half dozen or so of us who play
this game. Do we want to admit proper nouns or not use
them?

Vote?

I am for NOT using proper nouns. But I'll go with the
majority.

Maybe every once in a while, to brake a continuous same set of letters. (uh.. ;-) would there be a majority?)

'Twould be IGNOBLE to be otherwise,

I like the free-wheeling possibilities they bring to the available choices (if not too arbitrary) but I'm not adamant either way.

and as to the use of proper names vote.....I don't mind either way, I'll play by the rules.

Sounds good to me: does add extra spice to the game,
and permits new letters to be admitted, so let
us allow Proper nouns too. Go for it!

Something else we need to vote on, I suppose.
Normally two words don't count. But I am only one
player in this game.

Wofa? Bran? Candy? CB?

Not that green owl wasn't a good one!
I've had some like that too, but refrained, due to
the one word tradition I encountered when I came on.
But when you get one, post it anyway, just for fun.
I enjoyed it.

re remolding ... I agree...your word looks like you intend to add more mold and who needs that!

WELCOME bexter in UK, glad to have you play
(your Dragon has a lovely long tail...good for aerodynamics)

I think stick to one word.....but of course show us other options that are interesting for comment.

[That looks like two operations, but can also be seen as changing M to P, so
GOLDMINER-->DEPLORING is actually within the Roolz (add or subtract or change one-and-only-one letter, then re-arrange if desired)]

It's more or less a "proper" noun, capitalized. What we were
talking about above.
