My guess is that superheroes can REAP as much as they want at paid public appearances.

How did we get from WAGE to EGAD? I didn't think we could reverse the character ordering.

Most folk would just tape them for free.

Sure you can reverse the character order, you just have to locate the new character at the correct, designated, location:

ie: You must delete any of the four letters, then insert a replacement letter at one of three locations: the original deleted letter location, before the first letter, or after the final letter.


or (after reading that again) I am not entirely certain

This TALE seems to be reversing out of control.

I also don't see your last post as meeting the rules. If the R was replaced by T, then the new word should be TEAP, not TAPE. As I understand the rules, you must maintain the original characters and their order after you delete a character and insert a new character at one of the three allowed positions (start, end, or the original deleted character location).

I had to read it, more than twice, before thinking it meant we can't re-arrange letters. Although your way does make the game more TAME (but maybe to easy?).

This is a very fun GAME; maybe Malc will be able to enlighten us what is allowed when he reads all of this, since he started the thread.

After some forethought, I agree, that I am not in abeyance with the rules, so I request, that as my arguments are lame, that I be forgiven

It's popular with at least a DAME or two, I see. If they can forgive us, we may get by even with our mistakes, David. I made some rather stupid ones earlier in the thread.

David, I think from what you posted you will not only get forgiveness (as you just got from me (and for you too Bill) ) but you will also receive FAME for this game.

Perhaps it was just a FAZE we went through and have now learned to do better.

(except for me. I'm not sure I'm through screwing up but I hope so)

Fare thee well - we are doing fine methinks, wherein we admit our mistakes, and proceed forever onwards

Your transgression has been lain BARE, and penance done.

These transgressions are often the BANE of participants in this game. No, I'm not innocent....
