Fantastic word game

Pandemonium looks like the Take It Outside board which is for threads that the moderators shut down when the kids can't get along very well.

Kids can't get along very well at times, which is why they need parental supervision.

That post in question looked good to me when I tacked it to the thread... so I'll take a Mulligan and blame the new board design and function... yeah.... that's the ticket. And until advised otherwise, I'll comply with TFWG rules regarding using only the last word. -9-
 
Along with my original question.. What are TPS Reports?, comes a new question. What is/are PowerWorld(s)?

Supervision of this game is needed by"The Dude" before we have an uprising of the masses. ;D
 
Masses of people to this thread are welcome but would also cause the same confusion currently experienced by Stuart and Element9.


(Alright everyone, here's the deal. For those of you not sure of the rules and regulations here: I am the Game Czar here at Fantastic Word Game <TFWG for short>. PowerWorld is our parent company. PowerWorld has many many related ventures which you can all read about by going back about 50 pages and reading the posts from there (maybe from September/October on). Quad is my right hand man and collects everyone's TPS reports every Friday. Quad can explain what those are. Stuart, TheDude does NOT supervise this game. In fact, Dude has very little to do with this game anymore except to post mostly foolish things and not follow the rules. Don't ask quad about TheDude unless you...well, just don't. It is because of Dude's actions that I appointed myself Game Czar ;D to keep things in order here. As for posting rules, the original rule was to use the previous posts last word which was hopefully bolded . The game has somewhat evolved over time so that the one-word bolded clue is now the bolded word or phrase. I'm sure you've noticed people bolding phrases. The one rule that has stuck (and that has been followed 99.9% of the time) is that you must use a complete sentence and ONLY ONE SENTENCE. NOT two sentences but ONE sentence. If you manage to post a sentence fragment (as occasionally does our good friend Anyacat), you will incur the wrath of myself and others and receive demerits and a TFWG Timeout from posting. andreajesus knows that all too well, don't you andrea. So, to summarize, write in a complete sentence; bold the beginning clue from the previous post and your new clue at the end of your new contribution, whether it's a word or phrase or proper name or whatever. Just go back and read a few pages and you'll figure it out. It's not rocket science. TFWG and PowerWorld thank you for your participation. :) )


(Update: I forgot to mention that TheDude never bolds his clues. We have in effect the SNUB rule relating to TheDude. You have 2 options at this point: (1) using the last word in Dude's post anyway (2) ignoring Dude's post entirely and using the clue from the entry before him.)
 
Stuart and Element9 have not yet incurred enough infractions to put them on the list for the PowerWorld Re-Education Gulag.

In addition to WMC's excellent roundup, participants in TFWG should also be aware of the PowerWorld Linguistics Guild, a quasi-religious branch of PW which deals exclusively with usage, syntax, and grammar-related issues. Ignore us at your own peril, because we are not at all shy about issuing demerits or unleashing the fury of the punitive CAPS LOCK! (just ask andrea). Your continued cooperation in these matters will be greatly appreciated...

Please note as well that the SNUB rule applies only to posts made by the Dude and remains in effect as long as he continues to post sentences without bolding the word or phrase the next participant is supposed to use. Details of this Dude-specific compromise were hashed out several dozen pages ago and make for interesting reading if you're waiting in line at the post office or the Department of Motor Vehicles.

And Stuart? If you'd like to learn more about TPS reports, I suggest you rent the movie "Office Space." As the line in "Kashmir" goes, "all will be revealed..." (you can also find TPS Reports on Wikipedia)

That is all.

Our way of thinking was obviously not used by the powers-that-be in the retransformation of Radio-Info. ;D


(Just a little humor for all while everyone tries to find their way around the 'new' website. ;) And apologies to raptus. I forgot to mention his ascension to Linguistics Czar at PowerWorld. I was outside scraping through the couple of inches of snow and ice that came down last night. My brain cells were temporarily in disarray. ::) )
 
I'm not entirely happy with the need some people have to impose military order on what should be a free-form game.

Start you up a "free-form game" if ya want one anyacat.
Be sure to get you a stopwatch and try and time how quick it devolves into Pandemonium.
Hope your brain-to-fingers reactions are quickquickquick!

TPS Reports are still due on Fridays at 5. Any later and employees risk losing access to benefits as well as paychecks.
Demerits are routinely disbursed for other less-violent infractions.
It's all in your Employee Handbook and the Orientation classes as well as refresher DVDs that everyone gets as a birthday bonus.

My treatise on the founder is still in the archives.
Yeah I'm still tiffin' on that one. I'll defer to the masses, but my tin foil hat is still pointed north for best listening pleasure.

Back to work now...
A lawless, topsy-turvy mobocracy is no way to run a proper regime!

:D
 
"The trains run on time," may be attributed to Mussolini, but the damn trains were running on time before Il Duce came to power, although he did set a new standard for criminal behavior while in office.

(Mobpcracy? Wouldn't that be anarchy?)
 
Your annual employment evaluation can be pretty easy goings, as long as you keep your nose to the grindstone, don't whip it out, and file your TPS Reports in a timely manner.
 
A timely manner is a phrase for which I simply cannot think of an adequate post and I have been sitting here trying to think of something for at least 10 long minutes.
 
At least 10 long minutes is the amount of time I need each night to think about how I will miss President Bush, and hope Mr. Obama will provide the same protection for our country. ;D

Now off to research these TPS Reports. I hope they really exist (unlike Global Warming) ;)
 
Country music is something I can't stand to listen to but I certainly don't mind checking out the country music singers such as Carrie Underwood, Shania Twain, Martina McBride, and Faith Hill.



(If you know what I mean. :p ;D )
 
Carrie Underwood, Shania Twain, Martina McBride, and Faith Hill are all popular country stars and very attractive women but for the life of me, I could not name one darn song they sing.
