CHAR Hi !
Note: if you're feeling confidant on the few real "rules" in the game, and not trying to remember some -such as with infrequent players, new players, or just plain forgot a few
etc., - skip down to the yellow "
onward to the game" - otherwise - for a couple refreshers to enjoy the game more, please read the following:
BTW Char per a few Q's I see you had posts below,
no new "rules" - they're all by democratic process now, and the only change fundamentally was like
100 threads back. The dot rule -Hesitate to call it that -
is only meant as a help to you , which the fast (frequent - daily) players make quick use of is all. Point isn't to demand conformance,
were here to have fun ! 
,its to help figgerin' out.
Same idea in
songs no changes, the
first song that works with the dots and clues- verbatim, no contractions, sound alikes, etc,
wins it, intended song or not !
Dot help-rules re-iterate (short version)
Q997....cool word(s).... - means clue word's- verbatim, no contractions or
sound alikes, are in the middle of the verse line
Q998....cool word(s) - the clue word(s) are at end of verse line.
Q999 Cool word(s).... - first word capped first letter - the word(s) are at
beginning of the verse line.
The above "helpful things" will effect several of the submits today. It'll come
back 2U and be automatic. like Ron correctly pointing out what he did below.
Only new thing - Jesse gave me 2 claps on lol (that didn't come out right) is the (hear the song in your head "Big Bad John" -melody)
BIG X. That now adds the X to the list of original clues by each song, and at each successful post automatically - and satisfies a request ( a rule
) you had for a
very helpful it turns out clue as to whats outstanding left to play. Thats it !
Just wanted to bring ya up to date, and maybe some of that ole' enthusiam will return when you play ! -
BTW - on the clue of "turpentine", did ya see my caution (help 4 U ) as to
NOT using the song from the early 80's - go back 20 - 23 years, thats a bigggg clue, to the tuffy in the list. Collectors bonus it really qualifies for, but the B1 clue convention threw everypone in a tizzy - except the rock-steady regulars -
like
Joveski; he reminds me of a famous alpine climber named Reinhold Messner, (this is a compliment, Joveski
)who was my climbing instructor's partner on big walls for years, - when asked if he preferred climbing in warmer, moist air above 32F, or arctic cold like - 40F and DRY air - insulation doesn't sweat up , BIG CONTROVERSY in the gear industry - his response laconically and calmly : "It makes no difference, all climbing is good. No matter yes ?" Course, Messner died in the Himalaya, alone, in the cold, in the dark. Like Hemingway would describe Citizen Kane's passing and his Rosebud sled....-sigh- Oh well
He climbed solo and no oxygen in the death zone - in the 23,000 ft and up range
Point Being - no matter all the histrionics we may go thru over rules we think are there, but aren't, or should be, or whatever, Joveski just plays on - and has fun !
Onward to the game now !
