[Ivas]

Welcome to the new, better, easier, more fun version of the former vocab game. This time, the rules streamline the game and keep it in the fun zone.

The word chooser picks a word from his memory (no looking up anything).
The word cannot be more than eight letters in length. It must clearly be in English, non-technical and within the experience of everyday folks, no intellectual double-talk is allowed.

The player defines the word the best they can (again, without looking up anything; we're on our honor here). If the poster of the original word doesn't object, the defining player selects the next word.

If any player thinks that the word chooser is abusing these rules, he/she can say so. If another player agrees with the complaint, then the offending word is dropped, and the complaining player may then restart the chain of words as they wish.

Also, if the player fails to select a new word when he should have, the next player then selects the new word.

Here, I'll begin: "sword".
