Change-1-Letter Game
By Valdremia on 26/04/2009
Game A
This game has a couple of rules that requires abit of reading but all in all the gist of the game is about changing only 1 letter each time to make another valid word. Until no one is able to make another word from the prevailing word, the player of that last active word will be named the winner of the game.
This particular game has no limitations to the number of letters in the words to be played unlike the current 4-letters game, which means the results can swing several ways.
The winner will get to post a word of their choice to start the next game.
Please read the RULES OF GAME
Dictionaries
4 Dictionaries STRICTLY to refer to are:
CAMBRIDGE DICTIONARY ONLINE
CONCISED OXFORD
MERRIAM-WEBSTER (assoc. Encyclopædia Britannica)
AMERICAN-HERITAGE
We will try this out and see where it leads us. If the game survives we'll continue to the next game, if not and/or when it dies out, the game and the rounds will completely stop.
HALL OF WINNERS
It's a pretty tactical word game, you create words to lock others, or trap the next person to form a dead end.
* Top 3 game winners
* Largest number of words game play winner
* Fastest closing game by least words counter played
* Fastest timed closed game
If you like you can view the list here: PAST RECORD HOLDERS.

Can you add/take letters instead of changing them?
Eg - Lime -> Slime
If not, Line for me.

Not sure Flim could make it, its a nice try though. Flim goes with "flim-flam" to mean talking in order to confuse, without "flam" "flim" seems to mean nothing, unlike "flam" can very well function on its own, can't find the other dictionaries to verify it.
So, so sorry Omar.
Last valid word is from Samurai's "Flume", following with FLAME TY!

Lambert: the centimeter-gram-second unit of luminance or brightness, equivalent to 0.32 candles per square centimeter, and equal to the brightness of a perfectly diffusing surface emitting or reflecting one lumen per square centimeter.

Ok, interesting Dilz!
Lamen does not turn out as a word in any of the permitted dictionaries here. However, it is a word that is a general term for magical pendants. Under Merriam it is not listed directly although not rejected entirely.
"Lamen" is also an alternative used to represent "Ramen" - although "Ramen" is not exactly English per say but an assimilation which Merriam too accepts.
A little skewed but not entirely indisputably unrecognized...nice word to use. Nice ones "Lamber", "Camber" & "Lambert"!
If I may, from Samurai's "Camber": CAMPER

Possibly the winning word?
There should be no playing of the same genre or family in the words. If there's no counter for the next 48 hours, by Sunday, Samurai will win this game.
Last word standing Samurai's: TEMPTED
GL!
By Karlfischer on 29/04/2009
Was going to say tempter, but then found out rules do not allow for that.
By Samurai-JM on 30/04/2009
