Fantastic word game

Understanding the rules of the English language before posting will help prevent the Director of Linguistics (DoL, as some prefer,) from unleashing the nuclear option.

The nuclear option can be avoided, but it will require an immediate and unconditional surrender from those who haven't been keeping a watchful eye on the Linguistic Czar's rapid ascension to the top.
I'm just pleased as punch that I've kept myself in the good graces (well...mostly) of the distinguished gentleman (and fellow wrestling aficionado) from the great State of Vermont.

The top executives in any organization with which I'd want to be associated would never dream of holding important meetings in a public restroom.

A public restroom might just be a fitting venue for us, given some of the crap that we come up with in this game.
This game will someday reign supreme among all games on the internet.
All games on the internet wish they could be just like the Fantastic Word Game (TFWG as all Game Czars, some interns and various others prefer).
CT, I didn't call that meeting. The Board of Governors did. Remember, they are above us and they were responsible for granting you the title and privileges of Director of Linguistics.
I accept the 3 demerits for my previous contribution. I should have known better.
Your friendly Game Czar spent part of the morning digging out from under a foot of snow here in central Massachusetts. Other nearby communities got another half foot more than that. Boston and the south shore was mostly rain.

A "new" member wouldn't be nearly as confused as I am over Stuart's latest contribution, which implies that WMC somehow hijacked the game, an assertion that doesn't make sense.
Nor does "high jacking," which should be "hijacking." Three demerits for Stuart make perfect sense and are hereby assessed.

Make sense when you post so others know what you mean.
Mean and nasty comments came from that mysterious member some years ago.
Stuart, you've heard this story before. By now, you should know that I am referring to your idol, TheDude, eventually known as 4Dude, and that we ignored him as much as possible. He had disappeared from the game years ago and then made a reappearance some years later. By that time, we had evolved from one-word clues to multi-word (CT, hope multi-word is acceptable) clues with bolding included. Bolding wasn't part of the original iteration ($100 word right there) of this game. Dude wouldn't follow the new rules and begged the administrators to shut the game down. I am reasonably certain this whole incident occurred well before the change to Radio Discussions. So we ignored Dude, eventually he got frustrated, and disappeared into the ethernet, never to be seen again. The 'hijacking' would refer to him, not to me. I have never hijacked the game.

Some years ago, I had hair, but that's clearly not the case anymore.
Earlier today, when I mentioned "new" member I was referring to the reinvention of The Dude. 😎
I remember you talking about 4Dude but I never heard how he attempted to ruin the game. Now I will have to think about all my loyalties (and fantasies) towards The Dude. I am keeping the fantasy of him coming into the hospital and scooping me up in his muscular arms just like in "An Officer and a Gentleman"

The reinvention of The Dude sounds like just another rebranding gimmick, like New Coke.
It does seem like there were some Nancy Kerrigan-Tonya Harding style shenanigans usurping and jockeying for position, a long time ago that I now only have the vaguest memories of, yall.
That one came out awkward because I didn't want to end the sentence with a preposition, but in all fairness it probably started out gawky and hard-to-handle as it was. Please no punishments for sidebar comments not meant for the public record.

New Coke was a legitimately new formulation of Coca-Cola, with a distinctly different flavor.
The finest treats on the planet vary greatly from country to country.
Country Joe and the Fish were not a country band but, rather, a '60s rock group noted for "Feel Like I'm Fixing to Die Rag," a song protesting the war in Vietnam.
