Hall of Games(#23939RC) The Hall of Games appears smaller inside than outside. The whole interior - floor benches, bleachers, etc, is built from oversized dice, Scrabble tiles, and dominoes. The interior is softly lit by a windowed clerestory that runs the length of the building. A row of colourful Mah-Jong tiles runs along the wall just beneath the clerestory, like a sort of mysterious frieze. A rectangular area in the centre of the floor holds the gaming tables, while along either side box bleachers rise steeply to the ceiling, much like in a 1920s basketball court. A smallish pool at one end of the hall accomodates aquatic spectators and competitors, who enter and leave through an underwater tunnel. Several tables are placed along the centreline of the floor, with benches along either side. Screens hanging from the vault of the clerestory let spectators see what's happening on the tables. A smallish bookshelf set to one side of the tables holds a variety of . (N.B. - Things marked with can be looked at.) Obvious Exits: [F]ountain Plaza (ne), and [U]nderwater Tunnel Contents: Cirrus, Featherwing, Sally, and Inflationary Language ## There are possible hidden listeners here. Sally greets NBC. NBC chimes G, E, C. Austin steps off of the floating disk that carried him up. Austin has arrived. Austin says, "Chulo, all of you." Sally shouts "Sorry about the bad WA directions. They're corrected now." (Public-shout) JasonRDT steps off of the floating disk that carried him up. JasonRDT has arrived. NBC bobs his head. Cirrus chuckles, nuzznuzing Featherwing, before waving to Austin. JasonRDT has one of those bags. Dragoncat has arrived. NBC flies around checking cameras. JasonRDT waves to one of them! Sally perches on a sort of parrot-stand (but much more grandiose - a definite eagle stand) on the playing floor, greeting people as they arrive. BunnyHugger comes hopping in from somewhere. BunnyHugger has arrived. Chitter has arrived. BunnyHugger enters, with a nonanthro Eastern gray squirrel (Chitter) [Chitter(#5713XZ)] walking along next to her. J.P. steps off of the floating disk that carried him up. J.P. has arrived. Sally greets. Dragoncat waves. BunnyHugger says, "Hi!" Chitter says, "Hi." Austin says, "Chulo, J.P.!" Austin says, "Darling!" Austin leaps at BunnyHugger and Chitter! BunnyHugger says, "J.P., are you playing for Team Incisors tonight? I hope so!" Xor steps off of the floating disk that carried her up. Xor has arrived. Xor returns, "Hello!" BunnyHugger says, "I plan to play for a change. Yay!" JasonRDT arfs, "...Do we have a rep from Team Ill-Advised?" Dragoncat chuckles. Austin says, "I hope to play, too." JasonRDT arfs, "All I've been doing is cheering from the sidelines." BunnyHugger says, "You can have more than one person per team compete in an event." Cirrus erms, "I'm still trying to fit the idea of olympic boggle through my bird brain." He smirks, "I'm not sure how good I'd be with that. But I can stilltry!" [OOC] Cirrus says, "*still try" JasonRDT arfs, "Hmm." Sally spreads her wings for attention. "Okay, it's time to begin!" JasonRDT arfs, "Well, we need at least one, don't we?" BunnyHugger says, "Stuff like Olympic Boggle is why we're the SpinDizzy Olympics and not the boring old Earth ones. >;)" BunnyHugger says, "Er, there's no rule that we have to have a representative from each team play in each event or else we'd never manage to get a quorum for any event. There are something like 11 teams now. n.n" Sally says, "Everyone who wants to play, speak up! Spectators be kind of quiet for a minute, please, so I don't miss anyone." JasonRDT speaks up. BunnyHugger says, "I'm playing." Xor returns, "As am I." Austin says, "I do." Dragoncat says, "I... might." Sally says, "It's about time to decide." Cirrus nods, "I've never even really played boggle before but I might as well!" Dragoncat says, "I only have 20 minutes, but I'm free after a period." Sally says, "We'll throw you in the first round, and then deal with it as it develops." Sally nods at Cirrus. "There's the spirit. Anyone else?" Inflationary Language Dragoncat says, "I'll play if I can play the first round. If I'm late comming back, then I guess I'll have to forfit." From somewhere outside, vuvuzelas are heard. Phoex steps off of the floating disk that carried him up. Phoex has arrived. Dragoncat perks up. "Suri?" JasonRDT covers his ears. Austin says, "Hiya, Phoex." Phoex waves Sally says, "How can you have a major sporting event without vuvuzelas?" Dragoncat giggles. Sally says, "Did you want to play or watch, Phoex?" Phoex says, "I was here to play actually" JasonRDT arfs, "Ooh." JasonRDT pokes Phoex in the tummy. Dragoncat chuckles. Sally adds Phoex to her list. Phoex meeps at the poke Dragoncat says, "Um... What's the slogan for this game? Let's get our word on?" Sally consults her program... "It looks like 'Victory to the Clever!'." BunnyHugger says, "Four incisors good, six incisors better! Cheer for me, Chitter!" Chitter shakes his head. JasonRDT arfs, "Um..." JasonRDT arfs, "Victory to the clever!" Sally says, "Anyone else want to play?" Dragoncat says, "Victory to the aerodite too!" Fuzzy enters the Hall of Games. Fuzzy has arrived. Fuzzy says, "Evening" Austin says, "Hi, Fuzzy." Xor returns, "Victory to the victory god!" Xor returns, "Wait, no." BunnyHugger says, "Hi Fuzzy, if you're going to play you have to speak now, they're getting it organized." Sally greets Fuzzy. "Play or watch?" Dragoncat says, "Eurdiate" Dragoncat says, "I donno..." Fuzzy says, "Play, I guess" Tottle steps off of the floating disk that carried him up. Tottle has arrived. Xor returns, "Erudite?" Dragoncat says, "Yeah!" Sally adds Fuzzy to the list. Dragoncat says, "Well, I onno the word." Austin chirrips to Tottle. Austin says, "Tottle, want to Boggle with us? Nt in mind." Sally greets tottle. Tottle says, "I'm no good at games, I'm afraid. Is it okay if I just watch?" Sally says, "That's fine, yes." Inflationary Language ahems. Inflationary Language settles especially around Tottle and BunnyHugger. JasonRDT arfs, "Oh, dear." Dragoncat says, "Ok, anyone else?" Sally says, "Okay, that gives me eight contestants. JasonRDT, BunnyHugger, Xor, Austin, Dragoncat, Cirrus, Phoex, and Fuzzy. Have I missed anyone?" Sally looks around the Hall... JasonRDT arfs, "As far as I can tell." Sally says, "Okay, time to get started, then. There's at least two of you who haven't played before, so we'll do one practice round that won't count for points." JasonRDT arfs, "Whoo!" Fuzzy says, "And just as I was about to ask how this worked" Sally says, "After that, it'll be two groups of four, and then the two best from each group for the championship. Does that sound okay to everyone?" Dragoncat nods. BunnyHugger says, "That should work well." Austin says, "Oh, yes, that's good." Phoex says, "WOrks for me" NBC chimes and focuses. Someone's cellphone goes off, leading to several seconds of embarassed fumbling before it's silenced. Sally says, "Okay, the ones who need a refresher on the rules, type 'look Nicknack'." BunnyHugger says, "Do you have a dictionary chosen to be the authority on challenges?" Sally gives everyone a minute ot two to look those over... Sally nods. "As tempted as I am to go with fluffy critter's suggestion of the Calvinball Dictionary, I've chosed the Oxford Online Dictionary. http://oxforddictionaries.com/?region=us " JasonRDT arfs, "Okay." Cirrus skims down it, then nods, before grinning. Sally waits a little longer... JasonRDT streeetches his fingers. Sally says, "Okay, everyone who's playing, type 'join' to join the practice game..." >> JasonRDT joins the game. >> BunnyHugger joins the game. >> Austin joins the game. >> Fuzzy joins the game. >> Cirrus joins the game. >> Phoex joins the game. JasonRDT hugs Phoex! >> Xor joins the game. Dragoncat says, "Kay." Dragoncat says, "That's good." >> Sally shakes the cubes! >> [Type 'start' to display and begin] Sally says, "Now 'start', if you haven't already." Inflationary Language is glommed down and swept away by a plastic hippopotamus mouth. Inflationary Language has left. Sally says, "Those who are watching, if you type 'board', you can see the board that the players are using." Kinsor steps off of the floating disk that carried him up. Kinsor has arrived. Premchaia steps off of the floating disk that carried her up. Premchaia has arrived. Sally greets. Premchaia sliiinks, slightly. Whrrr. JasonRDT hms. JasonRDT whews. BunnyHugger (7): [Ade] [Ate] [Bleat] [Bled] [Date] Deb Den Dens Med Melt Men [Met] [Mete] [Mote] Net [Sled] [Tad] [Ted] [Ten] [Tens] = 7 Phoex (5): [Bam] Bet [Bled] Boule(+1) [Date] Delta(+1) [Led] [Met] [Scuba] [Team] = 5 Austin (3): [Bleat] [Bled] [Cubed] Demote(+2) [Lens] [Meta] [Mote] [Scuba] [Tea] [Toe] = 3 Fuzzy (3): Beam [Club] [Cubed] [Led] [Lens] Lent Ment [Scuba] [Sled] [Team] = 3 JasonRDT (4): [Bam] [Bed] Belt [Bled] [Club] [Cub] Cube [Cubed] [Date] [Lead] [Led] [Met] [Meta] [Mete] [Mote] [Tad] [Ten] [Tens] [Tome] Tomed(+1) = 4 Featherwing (0): [ No words entered ] = 0 fluffy (152): [ No words entered ] = 0 Xor (2): [Ate] [Bam] Bead [Bed] [Bled] [Club] [Cub] [Lead] [Led] [Mote] [Tad] [Tea] [Team] [Ten] [Tens] Tent [Tom] = 2 Cirrus (2): [Ade] [Ate] [Bam] [Cub] Lua [Met] [Meta] [Mote] Nemo [Scuba] [Sled] [Tad] [Team] [Ted] [Ten] [Tens] [Toe] [Tom] [Tome] = 2 JasonRDT arfs, "Yikes, BunnyHugger." Spectators scribble busily on their score cards. Cirrus blinks, "What do the numbers represent?" JasonRDT arfs, "Score!" Kinsor skriters, "Unique names." JasonRDT arfs, "Each unique word gets one point." JasonRDT arfs, "Plus a bonus for longer words, I think." Dragoncat has to go now. JasonRDT hugs Deec. Austin says, "Aw, night, Dragoncat." Phoex waves to Dragoncat Sally says, "'night!" Dragoncat says, "Hopefully be back in time." Sally says, "I hope so!" Xor returns, "Is Deb something other than a proper noun?" Cirrus says, "So all of the bracketed ones on my card are worth nothing?" Sally says, "A debutant, I think." JasonRDT arfs, "That's right." BunnyHugger says, "A debutante, but someone can challenge it if they like." Xor huhn. Never heard of that! JasonRDT arfs, "I'd challenge my own word, 'tomed', just for the sake of fairness." Sally consults the dictionary 'short for debutante.'. BunnyHugger nods. Fuzzy says, "Just practice, I wouldn't get too worked up" BunnyHugger says, "I tend to throw in everything and let Frith sort it out." Kinsor skriters, "His library was so vast, he was as tomed as the best of them?" Xor grins. Sally says, "No exact results found for tomed in the dictionaries." BunnyHugger says, "That's a good chance to demonstrate what to do in this situation." Cirrus hmms, "Just trying to make sure I have the facts straight!" Sally says, "So that's a sustained challenge. You'd have to subtract 2 points." BunnyHugger says, "He needs to reduce 2, because it had a bonus of +1." JasonRDT arfs, "Mhm." Fuzzy says, "Perfectly cromulent word for turning someone into a book" BunnyHugger nods. JasonRDT arfs, "You'd type..." JasonRDT arfs, "reduce " >> JasonRDT reduces his score by 2. JasonRDT arfs, "Two in this case." Sally says, "So, in a case like that, it's 'reduce 2' to remove the points." Sally looks around. "is everyone reasonably clear?" BunnyHugger says, "Clear as a Korsgaard essay." Xor returns, "Yep!" Fuzzy says, "As clear as I get this late in the evening" From somewhere outside, vuvuzelas are heard. BunnyHugger says, "Clear as Trevor Horn's glasses." Austin heeheeees. Xor keeps forgetting the rule of 'even if you don't know if it's a word, throw it in,' though. :D >> Sally resets the NickNack game. JasonRDT arfs, "Clear as MP recovery." Kinsor skriters, "There was that one man in Nevada who slept only when he was accus-tomed to do so." JasonRDT arfs, "Okay, okay, it's not a word :P" Premchaia snickers a bit. JasonRDT also, scoops Permchaia. JasonRDT places in lap. Whrrrr. Sally says, "Okay, group #1 will be JasonRDT, BunnyHugger, Xor, and Austin. group #2 will be Dragoncat, Cirrus, Phoex, and Fuzzy. Is everyone okay with two games per each group, then two games for the winners?" JasonRDT arfs, "Okay, sure!" Phoex says, "WOrks for me" Austin nods, "I am." Fuzzy says, "As clear as an unmuddied lake, as clear as a sky of purest azure blue. You can rely on me." Phoex says, "The groups going simultaneously?" Sally says, "No, one after the other." Sally says, "There's currently no way to run concurrent games, although that's an interesting idea." JasonRDT arfs, "Different rooms?" JasonRDT arfs, "But that's a bit of an annoyance." Sally says, "it'd have to be, I think." BunnyHugger says, "Sounds fine to me." JasonRDT arfs, "I'm okay with one after another, myself." JasonRDT arfs, "It gives each of us some cooldown time." Phoex nods Sally says, "Okay, people from group #1, time to join." Fuzzy says, "Should I leave the game and rejoin later?" >> JasonRDT joins the game. Sally says, "i've kicked you already." >> Xor joins the game. JasonRDT arfs, "I think you're automatically kic--" BunnyHugger says, "For the glory of Team Incisors!" >> BunnyHugger joins the game. >> Austin joins the game. Fuzzy says, "Good, I don't like to onfuse people by accident, only on purpose" Xor returns, "For the glory of... uh... me!" Kinsor skriters, "You're supposed to leave the first contestants shivering and worried next to the water course, so they can watch and see if their scores are beaten. It's good interview time." JasonRDT arfs, "For the glory of...ill...advisory...?" >> Sally shakes the cubes! >> [Type 'start' to display and begin] JasonRDT says, "..."

BunnyHugger says, "I was sitting here at the table that we're both at RL complaining there was nothing on the board and he had a totally straight face." JasonRDT giggles. Sally says, "Okay, challenge time! Everyone's allowed to look up challenges - doersn't have to be me only." Sally giggles. Austin says, "At the time I said that, I hadn't seen 'Eventual'." JasonRDT arfs, "Eventual, yeah..." Sally says, "That's a winner, yeah." Xor returns, "Two of the ones I found I don't think are actually words." JasonRDT arfs, "I'm kind of proud of Venue though :D" BunnyHugger looks glum. "I wish the practice round had been a real one, I did well for a change." Sally says, "Any player going to challenge any workds?" BunnyHugger says, "Er... 'Jen'?" Xor returns, "Yeah, removing that." JasonRDT arfs, "I thought I saw 'raven' but I wasn't sure." Sally says, "No exact results found for jen in the dictionaries." >> Xor reduces Xor's score by 1. >> Xor reduces Xor's score by 1. Xor returns, "Like I said. :D" Sally says, "There should be a bonus for bird names." JasonRDT pets Xor, whatever it is. BunnyHugger says, "And uh... 'vin' and 'lat' I'd like to see." Cirrus settles down, tucking his arms in. He really doesn't consider himself qualified to toss out challenges but he's having fun anyway! Sally says, "No exact results found for jen in the dictionaries." Sally says, "No exact results found for civ in the dictionaries." Xor removed both of those, yes. JasonRDT arfs, "Sure thing." Sally says, "I saw. I figured removing them constituted a challenge." Xor returns, "Ah, I see." BunnyHugger says, "How about 'vin' and 'lat'?" Kinsor says, "Does the car number count, or is that an acronym?" JasonRDT arfs, "It's an initialism, yeah..." BunnyHugger says, "Acronyms don't count, as I understand the rules." Phoex says, "It stands for Vehicle Identification Number so.." Sally says, "Lat - the basic monetary unit of Latvia, equal to 100 santims." JasonRDT arfs, "That was surprising." Harmony enters the Hall of Games. Harmony has arrived. BunnyHugger says, "Hee hee. Those currency names always get you." JasonRDT arfs, "They're usually pretty short, right?" Austin says, "I thought it was DoomBucks?" Kinsor skriters, "It might be a pooka, you'd best read on '...1000 of which allows you to win a game of boggle.'" Sally says, "Vin - French wine" Austin chirrips to harmony. BunnyHugger says, "French wine or 'wine in French'? Because foreign words don't count, do they?" Sally says, "Oxford gives 'vin' as an English word fromt he French, so it'll count." BunnyHugger says, "OK." JasonRDT whews. JasonRDT arfs, "Still, wow, Austin!" Sally says, "I'm cutting and pasting." Sally says, "Any more?" Austin says, "Oh, that's just one lucky word I got." JasonRDT arfs, "Nope." In a quiet stretch, where all the contestants are thinking, you can hear the "tick tick tick' of the clock. BunnyHugger says, "I'm done." JasonRDT arfs, "You'd be one over me, anyway." Harmony waves but does not interrupt. Sally says, "Okay, so at the end of round #1, Austin has 18, JasonRTD has 8, Bunnyhugger has 3, and Xor has 1." >> Sally shakes the cubes! >> [Type 'start' to display and begin] Featherwing quietly waves to Harmony. Sally notes for the recent arrivals that 'board' will display the playing board. [OOC] Featherwing ohs? He peeks at the overhead camera. Premchaia ews at the board.

Brutal round." JasonRDT has to cry a little. Xor says, "It's somewhat reassuring to know that I'm not the only one who didn't do spectacularly that time." BunnyHugger says, "Not much chance to catch up to Austin. >:/" Austin says, "I think that round cost everybody points." JasonRDT arfs, "So it did." Kinsor skriters, "Awl was a good catch." Sally says, "Challenges? I don't think there's any chance of the rankings changing, to be honest." J.P. has disconnected. JasonRDT grins. "No challenges. Xor returns, "Atl isn't a word, it turns out." Xor returns, "I had it confused with something else. A tool of some kind." Cirrus seems cheery nonetheless. He's not even focused on winning. JasonRDT arfs, "You mean 'awl'?" Xor returns, "Awl, yeah." Sally says, "Atlatl?" Xor returns, "And that." BunnyHugger says, "For what it's worth, 'moly' is a real word." JasonRDT arfs, "whoas." From somewhere outside, vuvuzelas are heard. >> Xor reduces Xor's score by 1. Xor's number 1! \o/ Xor wait, no. JasonRDT /o\ JasonRDT wh-whoa! JasonRDT falls down onto Xor. [OOC] Cirrus says, "Interesting... I thought there'd be set rules for that, heh,but it's always fun to mess around either way" Sally says, "Okay, so Austin and JasonRDT will move on to the championship round. Let's have a big hand for all of the players!" Sally applauds! >> BunnyHugger leaves the game. Austin says, "Yay!" BunnyHugger applauds. >> Sally resets the NickNack game. Xor plop. >> JasonRDT leaves the game. Xor returns, "Congratulations!" >> Austin leaves the game. JasonRDT arfs, "Thank you." Tottle applauds. Sally says, "Okay, the players for the second round /should/ be Dragoncat, Cirrus, Phoex, and Fuzzy. Dragoncat has yet to return, however. Does anyone want to take his place?" Fuzzy finishes his drink Xor shall sneak off and record more Amnesia. That was fun! Sally says, "Bye!" Xor returns, "See you!" Xor has disconnected. Sally looks around the Hall. "No one wants to sub for Dragoncat?" Cirrus perks, then looks to Sally, nodding. He's ready! Misses waving to Xor though. Kinsor likes the game, but hasn't signed up for a team! JasonRDT hugs Cirrus! Sally says, "You can play as an independent." Fuzzy says, "open spot" JasonRDT arfs, "Or as one of the guests :P" Cirrus awwrs and snuggies Jason. Feathery soft! Premchaia hmmmms. "I can substitute. I'll be for Team Dragon, if Featherwing approves?" Fuzzy says, "Is this olympic boggle?" JasonRDT arfs, "Yup, Fuzzy" Sally says, "Yes, it is." JasonRDT yay! It's a drgn! Sally says, "Who wants the spot?" BunnyHugger says, "It is, Fuzzy, so you're playing for my team since I signed you up when you were half paying attention a while back." The PA announcer pages Trevor Horn. Fuzzy says, "I suppose I should try to win for the leoporids" Austin Heeheeees. BunnyHugger's ears fly up. Sally says, "Kinsor? Prenchaia?" BunnyHugger looks around anxiously. JasonRDT arfs, "BunnyHugger, do not attack Trevor Horn." Kinsor skriters, "Well sure." Sally says, "Okay, Kinsor is it!" Cirrus also is a dragon... but he's not the team's strongest competitor. Premchaia says, "Kinsor claimed it first, I think, so I defer to him if he wants." Kinsor skriters, "What's the command list?" JasonRDT arfs, "nicknack #commands" Sally says, "nicknack #command" Premchaia meanwhile climbs on top of Featherwing's head, if she can. Rar. She is a dragon who climbs on people's heads. Fuzzy says, "give the frog a loan" BunnyHugger says, "Not too late to join a team last minute, BTW. Azure's team accepts all comers, he told me, and is themed to mad science and adventure and stuff." PatchO'Black has arrived. Sally gives Kinsor a few minutes to read... BunnyHugger says, "'Team Extremely Ill-Advised.' But you can play as an independent no problem." Kinsor skriters, "Well, that would sound good." Sally says, "And 'look nicknack' gives an overview" Kinsor skriters, "Or procrastinator. :}" Kinsor skriters, "I think I've got this, once someone starts, I'm entering names." >> Kinsor joins the game. BunnyHugger says, "The Procrastinator team is in greater need of members." Sally says, "Time to join!" Kinsor skriters, "Then I might be their bat!" Sally says, "Type 'join' if you're playing." JasonRDT arfs, "Good luck, guys." Fuzzy says, "If he's a procrastinator, theres no time like tomorrow" >> Cirrus joins the game. >> Fuzzy joins the game. >> Phoex joins the game. Kinsor skriters, "Hey, if we've got tomorrow, we've got all week!" Sally says, "Here we go. Audience, as always, you can type 'board' after we start to see the playing board." >> Sally shakes the cubes! >> [Type 'start' to display and begin] Premchaia ooohs at the board. JasonRDT wags. Skyler steps off of the floating disk that carried him up. Skyler has arrived.

Harmony has left. JasonRDT arfs, "Whoooo." Sally says, "Okay, that was quite a good board!" Austin nods, "Good one." Sally says, "Hi Skyler!" Sally says, "Does anyone wish to challenge?" Cirrus blinks... then checks the scorecard with disbelief. Skyler waves. Phoex says, "Neap?" Fuzzy says, "type of tide" JasonRDT hugs Cirrus! Sally nods. Fuzzy says, "doppel?" Cirrus blinkblinks, then chuckles, foofing a little for Jason. Sally checks that one... Tottle says, "To change pitch due to motion." From somewhere outside, vuvuzelas are heard. Kinsor says, "Ah, panels." Premchaia says, "Aww, no one got 'cane'?" Sally says, "That's 'doppler'. For 'doppel', it's listed as a German word, so disallowed." Kinsor was thinking beer himself! Fuzzy says, "german for double, perfectly fine in german" JasonRDT arfs, "aww... less a lot of points." Premchaia says, "Or 'can', or 'cans', or 'anole'." Phoex says, "And dopples ?" Sally says, "Neap - ;a tide just after the first or third quarters of the moon when there is the least difference between high and low water.'." Sally didn't see anole. JasonRDT arfs, "Anole's there!" Phoex says, "Niether did we" Sally says, "No exact results found for dopples in the dictionaries." Fuzzy says, "Well, they can change color" BunnyHugger laughs. Sally says, "They're good at hiding, yes." JasonRDT arfs, "That's less... how many? 8?" Phoex says, "6 I think for Cirrus" Sally says, "Wait - I put 'dopples'..." Sally says, "No exact results found for doppels in the dictionaries." Cirrus hmms, "Oh well!" He seems cheery anyway, "I had the 'doppler effect' in mind." Sally says, "So, 'reduce 6', Cirrus." Sally says, "You're still in the lead." Cirrus already put 'subtract 6' Fuzzy says, "I suspect I am not very good at this" Premchaia says, "6? Or 8?" Cirrus says, "It said it accepted the command... do I need to reduce anyway?" JasonRDT arfs, "Shouldn't it be eight, though?" BunnyHugger says, "It's 'reduce' not 'subtract'" A Mermaid pops up into the spectator pool. >> Cirrus reduces his score by 6. Cirrus done! Sally says, "Eight, you're right. Sorry." >> Cirrus reduces his score by 2. Cirrus now done hopefully? Kinsor hmms, "So the + points are in addition to the point for the word in the first place?" JasonRDT arfs, "That's right." Sally says, "yes. You get one point for thr word, and then plus points if it's especially long." Sally says, "Any more challenges?" Kinsor says, "Alright then. I'll keep that in mind!" Dragoncat returns. Dragoncat has disconnected. Dragoncat has connected. Dragoncat returns! Dragoncat says, "Well, who won?" Phoex says, "Wb" Sally wingshugs. "You're too late, I'm afraid, DC. We already started the second group." Dragoncat nods. Sally says, "Okay, if there are no more challenges, then Group #2 stands at Kinsor, with 12 points, Cirrus, with 11 points, Phoex, with 8 points, and Fuzzy, with 4 points." Sally says, "Here's the second round!" >> Sally shakes the cubes! >> [Type 'start' to display and begin] Premchaia eyes the mix of consonants and vowels with her muzzle dangling open. She has to visible restrain herself from devouring them. Premchaia is unintentionally ironic, too. She means 'visibly' of course.

JasonRDT arfs, "Hmm..." Fuzzy says, "darn, missed getting benign by a second" Sally says, "So, are there challenges?" Spectators scribble busily on their score cards. JasonRDT arfs, "I wonder how the spectators are taking this?" Premchaia thinks 'mien' would have been superior to 'mein'. She's not so sure about the latter. Phoex says, "It's also german.." Sally was thinking that too. Sally says, "Challenge?" Premchaia says, "Well, it occurs in the compound 'chow mein', but not by itself that I know of." Phoex says, "Ben, jupe, meg, penn..." Sally gets busy with her dictionary... Fuzzy says, "ben is good hebrew" Cirrus says, "Meg, short for megabyte. Penn-sylvania!" Kinsor skriters, "Right, its not nice when you're just being mein." Fuzzy says, "proper name, though, for william penn" Cirrus says, "Also short slang for a jail." Phoex says, "But not individual words on their own" Premchaia pawwws at Kinsor. Sally says, "Ben - a high mountain or mountain peak (especially in place names" Sally says, "So, that's uphelp." Sally says, "Upheld, even." Kinsor skriters, "I thought ben was a good one, but I didn't throw it in." BunnyHugger challenges uphelp. Premchaia snickers at BunnyHugger.

Cirrus hmms, "Actually I'm not sure if the slang has one 'n' or two, for a jail." Sally says, "Penn is listed only as an abbreviation for Pennsylvania, so it'd be a proper noun." Premchaia also carefully whirls around in a circle, then sets out a plate of toasted potato bread with black pepper chevre for the competitors (and some for herself, of course). Most of them are the kinds of creatures that eat food, and thinking requires energy. Sally says, "So, Meg and Ben stand, Jupe and Penn are disallowed." Phoex says, "Also Gen, Jut and Mot?" BunnyHugger says, "Jut's a pretty ordinary word." >> Cirrus reduces his score by 2. Kinsor skriters, "It's used for cliffsides that stick out." PatchO'Black is glommed down and swept away by a plastic hippopotamus mouth. PatchO'Black has left. Fuzzy says, "Mot is the name of the martian baby in that one cartoon" Phoex says, "Ah right" Sally says, "Jut is very common, yes." Fuzzy says, "Unless you're speaking french and then i think it means 'word'" Sally says, "Gen - abbreviation for 'general'." Fuzzy says, "as in 'bon mot' or 'le mot juste'" Fuzzy says, "Do abbreviations count?" Kinsor skriters, "Does it count if it's in Wiktionary?" Sally says, "Jut - extend out, over, or beyond the main body or line of something" JasonRDT arfs, "Jut's a common word..." Fuzzy says, "It's something peninsulas do" BunnyHugger says, "And jaws on tough heroes." Phoex just had a brain fart Sally says, "Mot - (in the UK) a compulsory annual test for safety and exhaust emissions of motor vehicles of more than a specified age." Dragoncat giggles. Fuzzy says, "Good game, well fought" Sally says, "So, MOT seems to be an abbraviation for a proper noun phrase, like 'Penn', and is disallowed for the same reason." Premchaia wonders which dictionaries are in use exactly. She didn't arrive in time to hear about that part. Sally says, "http://oxforddictionaries.com/?region=us is the dictionary of record." Cirrus settles in, arms tucked... he seems to be paying close attention to all this. Sally says, "So, Kinsor, you lose one for 'mot'." Kinsor skriters, "Alrighty." >> Kinsor reduces his score by 1. Sally says, "Any more challenges?" Sally says, "Okay then, Cirrus and Kinsor advance from Group #2. On to the Championship round!" >> Sally resets the NickNack game. BunnyHugger says, "Hold on a moment please." JasonRDT rubs his paws. >> JasonRDT joins the game. >> Cirrus joins the game. >> Austin joins the game. Cirrus nods with a grin, stretching. BunnyHugger says, "I'd like to give out the copper medals so far, for those who might take off. >:) These are tokens of participation for non-ranking medalists." BunnyHugger hands Copper Medal for Boggle to Phoex. Sally says, "Gotta join again, Kinsor. I reset it." >> Kinsor joins the game. Sally applauds! BunnyHugger hands Copper Medal for Boggle to Fuzzy. JasonRDT applauds! Dragoncat applauds! Sally pauses for the medal distribution. BunnyHugger says, "Xor took off too quick, he'll have to get his later." Kinsor wiggles his fingerclaws! Featherwing says, "Goooo Cirrus!" BunnyHugger says, "And one goes to me!" Dragoncat giggles. Austin says, "Yay!" Sally yays! Dragoncat fuzzles BunnyHugger. BunnyHugger says, "Don't forget to @chown medal=me, @link medal=me, and @set medal=!C, or it'll end up back on my person mysteriously." Phoex will use his to create automatons of great Science! Err wait, that's brass In a quiet stretch, where all the contestants are thinking, you can hear the "tick tick tick' of the clock. BunnyHugger says, "That's all!" Fuzzy says, "Yay. medal" Dragoncat says, "Well, you did better then me!" Cirrus grins, and gives Featherwing a wave, "Thanks!" Sally says, "Okay, all of the contestants are joined up, then. Audience, remember that as always, you can see the board they're playing by typing 'board' after the game starts." Sally says, "Here we go, then!" >> Sally shakes the cubes! >> [Type 'start' to display and begin] JasonRDT teethgrits! BunnyHugger pats Fuzzy with unusual affection. "You did your best, teammate! Maybe come to the sharpshooter event, that seems up your alley." Fuzzy says, "Who will we be shooting at?" Phoex says, "Morticon!" Phoex says, "Because he's evil and all" Sally hushes. Premchaia rotates the 'W' into a sigma and tries to make Greek words. Phoex says, "He's also nigh invincible due to Hero Mechanics (tm)" GreenKai enters the Hall of Games. GreenKai has arrived. Premchaia rars at GreenKai, flaring her wings. o/` GreenKai eeps! GreenKai leaves the Hall of Games. GreenKai has left.

BunnyHugger says, "Holy moly." Sally says, "Wow! Some strong scoring that round." BunnyHugger squeezes Austin. Kinsor wiggles his fingerclaws! Austin wows. Dragoncat says, "It was a good one." Sally says, "Challenges?" JasonRDT arfs, "'pinnea' and 'coned'." Premchaia winces a little. She's pretty sure it's 'pinnae'. Doesn't recognize 'pinnea'. JasonRDT arfs, "I dunno if 'coned' is verbified." Kinsor says, "Pinnea?" Sally says, "no challenging fromt he audience, please. Players only." Premchaia huffs. Premchaia needs to be more careful! Premchaia is glommed down and swept away by a plastic hippopotamus mouth. Premchaia has left. Kinsor says, "Tsks, the spellchecker in his client has failed him." Sally says, "Are you challenging 'coned', then?" JasonRDT arfs, "That's right" Kinsor says, "The property of possessing cones." Sally says, "Coned - having cones." JasonRDT arfs, "Oh." JasonRDT arfs, "Ahaha." Sally says, "So, that stands." Austin says, "I'm afraid I have to ask about 'pinnea' and 'pino'." Dragoncat says, "really?" Sally says, "No exact results found for pinnea in the dictionaries." Kinsor is alright with reducing for pinnea, the spellchecker didn't complain until afterwards. Must have not bothered to check for a single word. Sally says, "Pino - pino not found in this dictionary. " Sally says, "So, Pino and Pinnea are both disallowed." >> Cirrus reduces his score by 1. Kinsor says, "A wino that drank wood alcohol. Once." JasonRDT arfs, "Sharpshooter event?" Dragoncat shrugs to Jason. The PA announcer pages Trevor Horn. Sally says, "it's tomorrow, I think, in the Shooting Range at 7pm." JasonRDT arfs, "I have to practice!" BunnyHugger says, "No, it's Thursday." JasonRDT arfs, "...after this, of course." Dragoncat sighs. BunnyHugger says, "Tomorrow is the Jellicle Ball, so Olympic events are suspended." Sally says, "Any more challenges?" Austin says, "At the risk of being mean, I need also to ask about 'doku'." Sally nods. Sally says, "No exact results found for doku in the dictionaries." JasonRDT arfs, "Mushrooms! \o/" Kinsor skriters, "Doku was a red herring." Cirrus sighs, "Japanese style name I got from a piece of software... anyway." Sally says, "So, Cirrus, you lose a point." >> Cirrus reduces his score by 1. JasonRDT arfs, "Dokutsu Monogatari?" Cirrus looks to Jason, then grins, "That might be where it comes from, I'm not sure!" Dragoncat poofs into... Ok, it's obvious. Kinsor skriters, "Nobody really counts Doku, it was Palpatine all along." JasonRDT gives Dragoncat the fully-leveled Nemesis. Phoex says, "That's Dooku, he's part ferret" Dragoncat poofs again. Sally says, "Okay, any more challenges?" JasonRDT arfs, "Negatory." Dragoncat brushes himself off. "That's better." Sally says, "So, moving into the final round, it's Kinsor, with 16 points, JasonRDT, with 8 points, Austin, with 7 points, and Cirrus, with 4 points. Nobody's really out of the medals at this point." Sally says, "Here we go, then!" Kinsor skriters, "13 points, reduced by 3." >> Sally shakes the cubes! >> [Type 'start' to display and begin] JasonRDT arfs, "Yes!"

Kinsor blahs, hten is nothing. Cirrus blinkblinks JasonRDT hah, hold on. >> JasonRDT reduces his score by 1. JasonRDT arfs, "For 'nom'." Dragoncat giggles. Kinsor is going to leave this to the judges, but points out that Austin is the only one who brought mooks to this competition. Dragoncat says, "I think a mook is the same thing as a patsy." Kinsor skriters, "For hten." Sally says, "Okay, Kinsor, I forgot to have you subtract your three last round for pinnea and . Thanks for pointing that out." Sally says, "not that I think it's going to make any difference..." Someone's cellphone goes off, leading to several seconds of embarassed fumbling before it's silenced. Sally says, "But reduce 3 before we go further, please." JasonRDT arfs, "He already did." Sally says, "Ah - okay. Sorry." Dragoncat says, "Ok, I'm wrong. But it is a word." Sally says, "Okay - challenges?" Kinsor knows. :} Dragoncat says, "Ah." BunnyHugger says, "He said it, but did he actually do the reduction? I didn't see it." JasonRDT arfs, "Well, 35 - 19 = 16, no?" Kinsor notes: 20:27:13| >> Done. Kinsor skriters, "That's all I've got to show for receipt of the command." Sally says, "How very odd." Kinsor "A wino that drank wood alcohol. Once. Kinsor reduce 3 Kinsor "Doku was a red herring. BunnyHugger says, "OK! I just didn't ever see the message." Sally says, "Okay - we'll just keep track of that. Challenges, then?" Austin nods, he didn't see the reduction message either. Sally says, "Did yu have a : in front of it?" JasonRDT arfs, "I think that's his buffer." Sally says, "Regardless, if the program;s being weird, we can count manually." Sally says, "On with the challenges!@" Kinsor was surprised it didn't say 'your score is now #' but he supposes that happens once the game is in another state? Dragoncat says, "Yeah, he didn't deduct from last round. Should have been 13 then." JasonRDT arfs, "...really?" JasonRDT arfs, "I thought it was 19 -> 16. Hmm." BunnyHugger says, "Normally spectators see 'So and so reduces by 3' and it didn't seem to show up." Sally says, "Are there any challenges?" Cirrus shuffles excitedly... "Out of my own I'm not sure if Koop is even a word. Or Shen or Shene... there might be others." JasonRDT shakes his head! Kinsor skriters, "I'll skip Potens and go for Smoken." Kinsor skriters, "Of course Austin wears a mask, so I think it's a legal word for him!" Sally says, "Koop is a proper noun, so disallowed." From somewhere outside, vuvuzelas are heard. Sally says, "Shen - in Chinese thought, the spiritual element of a persons psyche." Kinsor skriters, "Ome?" Sally says, "No exact results found for shene in the dictionaries." Sally says, "No exact results found for Smoken in the dictionaries." >> Cirrus reduces his score by 3. Austin says, "I do need to ask about 'Ment' and 'Lott', I'm afraid." Kinsor skriters, "I don't think 'ment' counts, so I can reduce one there." BunnyHugger loves how apologetic Austin is about challenging. Dragoncat giggles. Sally says, "-ome is a word fragment, so disallowed - 'biology - forming nouns denoting objects or parts having a specified nature, eg rhizome'." Dragoncat says, "It's a suffix." >> Kinsor reduces his score by 1. >> Cirrus reduces his score by 1. Cirrus says, "Lott is a name I think..." Sally says, "Same for -ment - word part." Kinsor skriters, "And I'm going to officially reduce by 3 here, if that's okay?" Sally says, "That's fine :>" >> Kinsor reduces his score by 3. Sally says, "No exact results found for lott in the dictionaries." Sally says, "Any others?" Austin says, "I'm afraid also I need to ask baout 'kot' and lost track whether 'hten' was reduced." Kinsor skriters, "I got hten right off the bat." Phoex goes home. Phoex has left. Austin also takes off three for the challenged 'smoken'. >> Austin Dern reduces his score by 3. Sally says, "Kot - kot not found in this dictionary." Kinsor huhs, its another 'no score reduction' thing. Takes two off. >> Kinsor reduces his score by 2. Sally says, "Any more challenges?" Kinsor |:is going to leave this to the judges, but points out that Austin is the only one who brought mooks to this competition. Kinsor |reduce 1 Kinsor |"For hten. Kinsor is just making a note, since the game appears to be a bit odd. Dragoncat says, "Either way, I don't think any more reductions will affect the outcome."
