• begskye (credit to Lachlan)

25th October 1999, "Ring O Bells":

• 
  A trascendental leap in the anals of non-competitive scrabble playing.
  In the highlight game, no recognisable words from the concise Oxford Dictionary were played. One word left option the option of an Egyptian hieroglyph being used! (congrats, Mark, Matt, Andrew, Scott, David and Lachlan)

• slatar -> slatarvi (Matt, Matt)
• idiot -> tacoidiot (Lachlan)
• jitaxed (Mark)
• mokopit (Scott) Lost out to Mark's "jitaxed" as first 7 letter work allowed on board at start of new game.
• xarse -> exarsnif (Mark??, Lachlan) (xarse was decided at the time to be a new analytical X-ray Synchrotron method)
• anroucho (Mark??)

• satfetish -> satfetishoil (Matt and Lachlan/Mark??, Lachlan?)

• bagosin (Scott and Dave)
• quird (Andrew)
• vey -> envey (Scott, Andrew)
• "bodea?rooney" (Mark) - (the infamous word where Mark would not divulge what letter the ? (blank tile) was. At the time, it was not discounted that this could be an Egyptian hieroglyph! (bodea_petoth_rooney ??)
• preglet -> sexenpreglet (Dave and Scott??, Matt and Lachlan)
• fomee (??) (defined at the time as a cooking term)
• donngitshitbeem(?) (Andrew) Not sure of heritage of build-up but was noted at the time we would have to start doing diagonal on the scrabble board to get longer words.

• nately -> arnately -> jarnately (Scott and Dave?, Mark, Andrew)
• licaporn (Scott and Dave)

• koffyikinwanker (Scott) (pronounced koff-yi-kin-wanker) Not actually played on the scrabble board but Scott wanted this included!
• plonear (Andrew)
• prat -> demontoprat -> demontoprated (Lachlan, Andrew)
• vinobiwan (Matt and Mark)
• ferqulagoimati (Andrew)

15th April 2000, "Ring O Bells":

New Rule: No blanks (thus no more Egyptian Heiroglyphs). And because the Ring-O-Bells scrabble set does not have a "z", rotated n's can serve as z's.

• Andrew and Lachlan

• Seminal Event: an Actual "win" in Non Competitive Scrabble! (a total paradox with the concept of Non Competitive Scrabble!) Andrew wows his NCS nemesis (Lachlan) with ramegrapollotus (on top of grapollot). Lachlan throws in his letters, not being able to compete against such tour-de-force.

•

• Andrew and Lachlan, with Scott and Thiti joining in up from Beam Line 9.1

• abyraska (Andrew) -> beats Scott's starting word of dujuritis by deciding vote of Malcolm.

16th April 2000, "Ring O Bells":

• Andrew, Dave and Lachlan

• A Pseudo Seminal Event: First play of the Copenhagen Opening where Scott played the first word (wogeroe) "down" instead of the usual "across". There is also the 'Paris Position' and the 'Madrid Move'; but no-one can seem to remember what they are exactly - but (reassuredly) they can exist. It is also possible that the 'Paris Position' has been mistakenly named for the "Paris Interpretation", which is defined below. A drunken E-mail received after the event implies there is also an 'Oslo Opening'.

  Andrew did the first application of the "n" to "z" rule - though overshone by the Copenhagen Opening.

• luxiton (Dave)
• froaph -> ojefroaph -> fojefroaph (Andrew, Lachlan, Andrew)
• vindate (Dave)
• cuteuane (Dave)

• enubae - abaloenubae (Lachlan, Lachlan)
• bluss -> blussog -> pegwiblussog (Andrew, Lachlan, Andrew)
• yhorine (Dave - awarded himself full marks!)
• anefryme (Andrew)
• voistien -> klexevoistien (Dave, Lachlan)
• vogand -> eurofuvogand (Andrew, Lachlan)
• acotaty (Dave)
• pelmet (Dave) This put Dave in disgrace due to (as pointed out by Andrew) this being a real word. (pelmet: "a short valance or small cornice for concealing curtain fixtures")
• ortedrod (Andrew)
• miricu (Dave). Being placed between two other words (yhorine and pegwiblussog) this also resulted in the creation of:
  • hig
  • riw
  • ici
• sneatia (Lachlan)
• ortedroda (Lachlan)
• poq (Andrew)
• ginis (Dave)
• (the proposition of abolenubaejuda by Andrew was voted down by a putsh led by Lachlan on the grounds that it was not poetic enough. This puts to rest the comment of one "sober" observer that there is (quote) "not much challenge to this game". The high standards of Non-Competitive Scrabble are maintained!)
• duj (Andrew)

• leblear - > leblearqsorkit (Lachlan, Lachlan)

• fifeolac (Dave)
• burletaortistma (Lachlan)
• oddage (Andrew)
• seq (Scott)
• fifeolacadau (Lachlan)
• jnhr (Andrew). (Have this in my notes - this is the "Paris Interpretation". Note how there are no vowels(!). Cunning play by Andrew)

• 
• flopsis (Scott - making much of possible relatives)
• fajite (Lachlan)
• spege -> spegel (Scott, Lachlan)
• trolonad (Scott)
• speglatek (Lachlan)
• extrolonado (Andrew)
• heubinto (Scott)

6th May 2000, "Ring O Bells":

• Andrew, Shane and Lachlan

• This session was affected somewhat by a Glaswegian NCS Scoffer: for instance claiming one of the words I put down was a "real" dictonary word; and was demanding that "u's" be thrown out and blank tiles be made "z's". Though Andrew was in his traditional good form and not affected by this blatent intimidation. When outside web access is back on line at Daresbury, will be checking out if poind is a real word.

• Belated April 14th 2001 Update: From the Webster's New Universal Abridged Dictionary:
  poind, v.t. [Middle Scot. poynd var. of ME. pinden
  from AS. pyndan, to enclose, impound.]
  1. (a) to seize and sell (the property of a
     debtor) under a warrant; (b) to distrain the
     goods of (a debtor). [Scot.],
  2. to impound. [Scot.]
  poind, n. the act or an instance of poinding; distraint.

Palindromes

• This topic tends to come up during non-competitive scrabble games - palindromes. Thanks to Andrew for the following:
  1. Sums are not set as a test on Erasmus
  2. Live dirt up a side track carted is a putrid evil
  3. Straw? No, too stupid a fad - I put soot on warts
  4. Norma is as selfless as I am, Ron
  5. Stop! Murder us not, tonsured rumpots
  6. Stiff, o dairyman! In a myriad of fits!
  7. Name tarts? No, medieval slave, I demonstrate man!
  8. A new order began: a more roman age bred Rowena.
  9. Diamond light, Odo, doth gild no maid.
  10. Sex at noon taxes.
  11. Now stop, Major-General - are negro jampots won?
  12. T. Eliot, top bard, notes putrid tang emanating, is sad. I'd assign it a name - "gnat dirt upset on drab pot toilet".

  13. A man, a plan, a canal, Panama.
      (from "palindromes should make sense" Fletch)

  14. "AIBOHPHOBIA - the fear of palindromes" (from a newsgroup signature)

  • "Most sources credit Sotades with inventing palindromes in Greek-ruled Egypt, back in the 3rd century BC. In fact, palindromes were once known as "Sotadic verses." If you've seen his name mentioned, you probably know he was thrown into the sea (wrapped in lead) by King Ptolemy II, for insulting the king in one of his verses."
  • "This article gives you the rest of the story. It is a detailed, heavily researched life story of his family, notorious poetry and death. It includes (for the first time) English translations of everything he wrote (that survives).
    The article discusses the foulness and scurrility of Sotades' poems, attacks on him by ancient Greek and Roman authors, and the full story of why Ptolemy II had him killed."
