Balderdash!!!!
okay, heres how this is going to work:
I'm going to pick a word from the dictionary and then you guys are going to PM me with your definitions. Then I'm going to post the definitions. 1 pt if you guess the correct def. 2 pts if your def gets picked. I'll post the scores. Oh, and I get 1 pt if no one guesses the correct answer. If you want to be the dasher just PM me. Please don't use the dictionary. word: incogitant

Hey, this sounds like a REALLY fun game! Right up my alley - I love etymology, and I love games. My only suggestion to you is, how about play the whole game here in your thread? PMing is no fun, because - well, it's just no fun. Can't you have people put their guessed definitions here, and then after a prescribed amount of time, you give them their pointage? And what's a dasher? I'm VERY interested in this game!

This sounds a lot like Dictionary, that my family and I play. Fun!
Eowyn, I love that you turned your name into an acronym! You are awesome.

The whole key of the game is secrecy. Once a certain amount of definitions are PM'd, then she'll post and we'll guess which one is correct. PMing makes it flow better...

the reason why you cant just post the definition is because after all the defs are in you have to guess which one is the correct one, and if every one just post theirs you'll know which ones are fake and which one is real hope that explains stuff Sorry, spock, didnt realize this would go under entertainment thanx nurvingiel!!!! oh, i think I'll post the definitions tomorrow...we might get more, then it'll be harder

okay, here are the long anticipated definitions:
Incogitant 1: Immune to mind-reading 2: with out deliberation or though 3: inconsiderate 4: incapable of thinking 5: Unable to be aware 6: Unthinking 7: not understandable by a reasonable person you can post your guesses and as soon as everyone's guessed I'll post up the score. E, LoR

I'll say #5, unable to be aware, mainly because I don't want the writer of #4 to get any more points in one turn.
