Celestia Forums

Hello,

I got the idea for this forum game off writingforums.com, who probably got it off another forum themselves.

The rules are is that someone posts a word, then the next person posts another word related to the first one, and the game goes on until the topic changes into something totally different.

No posting twice in a row (but feel free to post as many times as you like) and nothing too rude, also don't post more than one word per post.

I'll start with the first word, something quite appropriate:

Celestia

Now the next person has to post another word related to this one.

Michael Kilderry

Ok, quite easy, but I'm not an original today :

"universe"

Vincent

big-bang

Michael,

Just a few questions -

Can the word be in any language ?
Are we allowed to use acronyms and abreviations ?
Or slang words ?
Names ?
What if the chosen word has no apparent connection - is it disqualified ?

Are you going to be the referee ?

Anyway, Am I allowed....
...HOYLE ???

regards,
TERRIER

PS The forum aint half been running sloooooowwww for me today.

The game isn't that strict, it's just a bit of fun really.

If someone posts an irrelevant word, go back to the one before might be a good rule, it's up to the person what's irrelevant and what's not.

Hoyle invented the big bang theory (I think), which is still on topic, so my next word is:

Galileo

Jupiter

Metis

Titan (Metis were a titan who got too friendly with Zeus)

Cassini

radar

"wave"

I'm tempted to put the next word as HUYGENS (probe), but maybe it should really be connected to SPLUDGE !

So I'll go for APOLLO (13) instead.

Wasn't Hoyle the man who came up with the term 'BIG-BANG' out of derision for this alternative theory to his own Steady State Theory?

Not exactly sure, probably was, so your word was more on topic than I thought, I'll correct my post above.

My next word is:

Astronaut

Space

3-Dimensional

r theta phi

hmmmmm
that was kinda hard...
but if you imagine the letters r, theta and phi
( R ?? ?† )
it spells like roy, which is french for king
therefore, the next word is

KING

Ouh la la !
I didn't know we could use old french words... 'Roy' was used a few hundred years ago, and now, 'king' is 'roi'
So do you allow me to keep on refering to french history and french language : Louis XIV was called 'Le Roi Soleil' and to go back to Celestian universe, I propose :

Sun
