CarolinaCarol,
your word has to be in onelook.com to be a Pyraword
I can't find it in there

I found it through a link given by onelook.com to yourdictionary.com... Does that count?

dunno mate, I've never tried it that way!
it has to show up in onelook with the setting
definitions in English
jw'll be in here soon to straighten us out

I will rule that only Onelook is valid.
It's always been that way, so although the rules could read that any word is valid if it can be proven on any dictionary site, I don;t want to change them.
I figure that would just to lead to too much work. eh heh eh eh

So, sorry CC, but yourdictionary.com is not valid.

oh ya, I'm heading over to start the next ROUND in a second here

Oh Well

Hey Sypher if you have time could you edit my post and add in the scores...Thanks

MATCH 4 - ROUND 9 gave us a new addition to the Record Setters:

There appear to be strange things happening with the clocks in here......I posted 15 hours after my last post but it doesn't look like that in the thread. The clock now appears to be 12hrs behind UK time.

testing the ft clock
this should read "posted at 12:53 pm
........

hmm, well they seem to be in order here..
don't sweat it Pling...
Hope it is back to normal for you now

Did the rest of you all notice how ONELOOK has changed over this last week?

They added a crazy amount of foreign dictionaries.
This is too bad, because now, a player can receive "false hits". (Words that are "defined" in English, but that are definately NOT english)
*sigh*
Well, I have been meaning to amend the rules for about two weeks now anyway.

Any suggestions/comments?

ttfn

A big thanks to PLING for getting the ball rolling for MATCH 5!!

Players will please note that I restarted the thread for MATCH 5, so as to include CURRENT RECORD HOLDERS, and links to previous Matches.
Please use my thread for playing in MATCH 5.
thanks

Pling,
you emailed me asking a about how I keep the scores.
I use a spreadsheet, which formats fairly well, when you enclose it inside the {code}{/code} UBB codes.
Do you have MS EXCEL on your system? (That is the proggy I use.)

to all others,
Last couple days I have been AWOL from funtrivia altogether.
sorry 'bout that. But it happpens, eh?

I do Have Excel Jab...could you email me an example of your score sheet and then if necessary I could post it....

PLING,
hope you got that Excel sheet that I emailed you??

CAROLINACAROL:
That is the first time I have ever seen two people post at the exact same time.
You will receive a point for your entry, and we will carry on with my entry, since GTHO4 played off of it.

cool Jab I got the email....if the occaision arises I will use it......Big Thanks

Hey Jabberwock...we probably couldnt do that again if we tried!

LOL

C.C :

I came this close to posting LIBERALIZED, but I decided to "refresh", and lo!, you had just posted it about 45 seconds before me!
We almost did do it again. LOL

oop,
only this morning, when I was updating scores did I realize that it was GTHO4 that I almost doubled up on.

mate, it's not a problem

big thanks to PLING for starting off the next round, and updating the scores!
mmm-muh! (the sound of a big kiss)

Lol.....thanks Jab.......heres a {{{{{{big hug}}}}} for you.

and it was my pleasure ...Hope I got the scores right!!! lol

Thanks for the Welcome guys!

Hiya Gtho4!! Congratulations on your win - wow, you are a real whizz at this game!

Great game too! How are all the extra points earnt and when does a game actually finish?

DW,

2 points is earned, when a word stays unchanged for 24 hours. Every other entry is worth 1 point.

A "MATCH" ends at the end of the month. The last round is allowed to start with a 3 letter word, right up until 11:59 pm of the last day of the month.
If there is an active round under way when 11:59 pm hits, then that round becomes the last round.

that make sense? haven't had my coffee/nic hit yet this a.m

CarolinaCarol - you are one cool dude!

Thanks JW 4 explaining the game's finer points.

I was busted over that squirrel ... spent hours on it .. duh!!!

I feel terrible.
Twice I've refreshed my screen but still my last meassage has not shown.

It said CarolinaCarol was excelllent (oh!!) and gth04 has to be the best (onya G> )

Hummmm
