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.

Nice one, Cyril, but could you decode it?
No, as it takes fifteen words in English.
Then enter two lines - plus an extra word.
But that's wrong and breaks the rules, softers.
There's only one rule; the eight word limit.
Not a word more, not a word less.
So no variations on that rule? No exceptions?
Game summary (up top) exceeds the word limit.
Tuj you are being a pedant. Please stop.
So, who led the Pedant's Revolt? Which Tyler.
That is one of my son's favourite jokes.
I promise: no more Russian. It causes argument.
[Lib] It was ironic, as I wrote it.
Right, that's settled, now shall we move on?
We have all moved on, as politicians say.
I can't think of anything worth saying yet.
Do you think we'll have a hot summer?
Hot summer, yes please. I'll be unemployed then.
So will I, however sadly not through choice.
I hope we move office before a hot summer.
Its not my choice either. Government lottery. Bastards.
Have you been sacrificed for the Olympics? Disgraceful.
I am actually considering volunteering for Olympic sacrifice.
How do they decide who gets first place?
Well, firstly, you have to live in Stratford.
On Avon (is Shakespeare fatal?) or east London?
Shakespeare can be fatal. Watch "Theatre of Blood".
(pen) It's the latter. You will be made homeless.
I speak of my impending graduation. With fear.
[nights] Most people survive graduation ceremonies, don't they?
(nights) Do you mean your possible non-graduation? Ruling needed on hyphenated words.
I like hyphenated words. Small-talk. Short-list. Quad-biking. Any-thing!
1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2-methylaminopropane. You would like that. You'd be ecstatic.
Ecstatic at the word count or chemical effect?
I've just discovered virtual drugs in Second Life.
[Rosie] A word with a comma in it!!
I haven't posted a line here in ages.
I was "pushing the envelope", pen. It's Ecstasy.
I'm more afraid of what it will mean.
Mrs Robinson says it'll mean you're The Graduate.
I want to say one word to you.
Why didn't you leave room for it, then?
Nobody can squeeze a word in edgeways here.
I manage OK, but nine-word cowboys are excluded.
[Rosie] I presumed you'd know what it was.
[CdM] Was the "you" Rosie? I'd assumed penelope.
Friday, everyone! Time to let our hair down?
You assume that we still have some hair.
I still can't think of anything worth saying.
[Knobbly] BZZZT! Contradiction! [nights] My hair's too short.
Figure of speech, people! Get with the times.
That figure of speech was around aeons ago.
Who knows how long an aeon is, though?
I do. But I'm not going to tell.
We didn't find out how pen's interview went.
Perfect job, but I think I'm too old.
Surely, pen, that cannot be true, can it?
I'm older than those who interviewed me (badly).
Were you applying to a young mother's group?
How patronising! I work in the motor industry.
[Tuj] "You" was actually nights. This may clarify.
Sorry to offend. It was the age group.
Age group? I think you're a bit genderist.
A bizarre crossbreed would yield Softlope and peneware.
There would then remain the question of pronunciation.
The trouble is - hasn't pronunciation always been questionable?
Peneware means "almost fabricated", like The Spice Girls.
I'm in a hole. Time to stop digging.
Softlope could be an Australian rock band, perhaps.
Excited people want to say words to me.
They all begin "You may already have won..."
Surely better than "Where's what you owe us??"
Softlope sounds like a wolf in sheep's clothing.
