Saber Forum

Alright, I think it's time for a new game here. Here are the rules: we start with a word. Each person is allowed to change one letter in the word and mix the letters up however they wish. Each time though you must switch everything around to become a new word. You can also either remove or add a letter, which then counts as your change. For example we could start with DOG:
DOG
HOG
HOT
SHOT
THOSE
THESE
TEASE
SEAT
SAVE
RAVE
GRAVE
GROVE
DROVE
DRONE

You get the idea. Mix it up and have fun!

The first word is THROW.

WRATH

THAW

HAWK

WHACK

CHALK

HACK

BACK

KNACK

I don't think double letters count.

I remember a time when the forum would tell me when someone'd posted while I was typing up a reply.  It has not done so on any of these lately, which is why this is twice now that it's f&*$%#d me up in playing this game.

So, I'm out.  No more for me in this game.

Let's get some letters in here to play with...


HUGEST

Is that an actual word?

Yes, I looked it up before using it. ;D Whether or not it's proper English may be in dispute, but I say if the intended meaning can be inferred then it is an actual word.

Okay then, I've been trying to figure out a new word for 5 minutes now...

Never heard of it.

If we hadn't banned names I go with "Kasim". Point if the next person knows who that is.

KAS

1) that just shows your age.
2) Possibly a FMP reference.
3) SACK

FMP?


SACKS

Kas'im isn't an FMP reference. He was the blademaster in Darth Bane: Path of Destruction. He taught Bane how to duel and gave Bane his lightsaber, which Kas'im had taken at his master's demise. Bane later betrayed the Brotherhood of Darkness and Kas'im was sent to Leon, the Unknown World, to kill him. Bane bested him in combat until Kas'im split his staff into a Jar'Kai wield, driving Bane back, who retreated out of the temple in which they were dueling. Bane retreated off the temple and used the Force to collapse the entire structure on Kas'im, killing him. Probably more information than was completely necessary, but I think that warrants points, Calon.

SNACK

Indeed, point given. I just read that trilogy again recently. Somehow "Leon" sounds wrong, but I could be wrong.

SMACK

Could have been a FMP reference, but I guess the ' should have told me. I'm really surprised though, I just read that like 4 months ago. There were too many names that had "k" sounds to them. Khan, Qordis, Kas'im.

It was on the planet Lehon.
