Each Move Must Consist Of Precisely Eight Words
help
Just as it says on the tin. What happens in the game may be debated in the game: perhaps it'll be a conversation, perhaps a word-limited reprise of various games we play, or whatever.
So, what shall we do with this then?
It would make for a lengthy Cheddars game.
Let us make statements of the utmost profundity.
Would you care to give us an example?
We could bet on who counts wrong first.
Well, it won't be me, that's for sure.
Has anyone written formal rules for this game?
No, for rules are a form of enslavement!
I think we need a ruling on contractions.
I'd say they're one word. What about abbreviations?
Endless disputing,
Legalisms abounding;
Eight words - so simple!
What a concise, elegant and poetic summing up.
I think abbreviations are fine, but not contractions.
Is an abbreviation precisely one word, or less?
As resident pedant, I say unto you "fewer".
So, we count abbreviations as half a word?
These are not the robots you are seeking.
Thank God for that; makes me feel old.
You are only as old as you feel.
Or as old as the man you feel.
Eight words is easy. Five is more tricky.
Five words makes one thought. Eight allows two.
Five allow two! Perhaps more! (How many more?)
Gathering thoughts in eight words requires considerable focus.
Mathematics! Scientifiction! Sufism! Mornington Crescent! My head explodes!
This is all too philosophical for average MC-ers.
How would you describe the "average" Crescenter, then?
Me - five foot six, brown hair, green eyes.
Is that average? I'm taller with brown eyes.
"Average" and "typical" are rarely, if ever, synonymous.
I'm like snorgle only I have blue eyes.
