park
        A floating disk, divided into pie wedges, with every colour of the rainbow taking its turn in each spot, approaches you.  You step on, and are carried away... by the time you're able to hop off, you find yourself in 
- Casino: Boggle Booth -(#17526RCJ)
     A large room with upturned dice. A number of rats sit in the corner, having tea and talking about disconnected things. The chandelier sits akilter, that is, askew, and a large book rests to the left, filled with words that randomly jump out of the page. Directly in front is a soft dice cup, ready for shaking and games to begin. The surrounding walls are a single color but fixed with architectural lines, not leaving a place for the eye to rest.

Subject: Olympic Boggle, Thursday the 19th, 7 pm
 
        Would it be a SpinDizzy Olympics without a Boggle tournament?  We need not worry, because Thursday the 19th at 7 pm muck time (Pacific) we'll have one.  It's to be at the Cash Creek Casino --- luge N2 W2, sw, c, b --- and run for as many rounds as can be done in two hours.  
        
        Our reference authority for word-ness will be https://scrabblewordfinder.org/dictionary-checker

     The objective of Boggle is to find as many words as you can in a small board with assorted tiles. Each tile contains 1 letter, and you can connect the letters in any direction (up, down, diagonal) to form words. As long as the next tile in the word is adjacent to that tile, you can continue the word. However, you cannot use the same tile twice in a word! You also cannot cross-over the edge of the board and back on again.

PatchO'Black waves!
Athares steps off of the floating disk that carried him up.
Athares has arrived.
Austin says, "Heya, Patchy, Athares.  Hope you're all in good shape today and know many words."
PatchO'Black opens the concession stand!
Mako says, "I know... a few words. Some of them are even spelled correctly!"
Mitsuki says, "I know at least six words. Maybe seven!"
Athares waves. "I'll admit, this isn't my first language and for fairness' sake I'll be working without my rapid-search algorithm on, so I don't expect to win. But I'll give it a good try."
Vahno is kinda frazzled, so he's gonna pass.
Westly knows many, many words!  But he'll just be watching.
Austin says, "Excellent!  So, the basics of Boggle.  Each round will begin with a random shuffle that produces a grid of 16 randomly chosen letters."
Niny'ah is still semi-zooted from fatigue
Austin says, "Your goal is to make words out of the letters, starting from any point and, using each letter at most once, tracing out a path to the left, right, up, down, or diagonally to the next letter."
Austin says, "You get points for words of three or more letters, with a bonus awarded for words five or more letters long."
Mitsuki bounces in place!
Athares looks to the rules. "It says the letters can be connected in any direction. Does this direction have to be constant for the whole word?"
Austin says, "You do _not_ get points for words that any other person has found, however!"
You rumble, "Athares: No"
Athares ahs, "So it doesn't."
Austin says, "No, you can change direction each letter.  You can't re-use a letter, but you can tangle up as much as you like."
You rumble, "What you CAN'T do is reuse the same letter twice (I think?)"
Mako says, "Nope! You could theoretically use all sixteen letters if you can make a contiguous non-crossing line for it."
You rumble, "Yes"
Mako says, "And then there's the challenging..."
Austin says, "Now, our authority for what a word is is the online Scrabble Word Finder dictionary, https://scrabblewordfinder.org/dictionary-checker ... "
PatchO'Black sets out the offical Spindizzy edition Boggle games for sale...
Athares says, "Reminds me of the vintage earth game Snake."
Austin says, "If you believe an opponent has found an illegitimate word, you can challenge it.  If the word is not in the dictionary, they lose the points for that non-word."
BunnyHugger says, "This game always ticks me off because I think of myself as having a big vocabulary and then I always perform poorly at this."
BunnyHugger says, "But like Sisyphus, here I am."
Austin says, "*However*, if the word *is* in the dictionary, then the *challenger* loses those points.  So you are encouraged to challenge wisely."
Austin says, "After each round I will offer a short while for challenges, but it won't go on forever."
[OOC] Niny'ah brb
Austin says, "When the round starts you will have three minutes to list words, and you do that by looking at the board and just typing out words that you see.  You don't need to prefix them with a quote mark or a command or anything."
Athares nods, listening.
Austin says, "Your three minutes start from the moment *you* first look at the board, so you don't have to rush in a frenzy after I shake the board, except to get as many rounds in as possible by the 9 pm Muck Time close.  At the end of whatever round we're playing at that hour we'll declare the winners based on total points accumulated."
Athares says, "Curious that the game has its own dictionary instead of using a standard one for the language."
Austin says, "And an important consideration: the letter Q can appear.  Our house rule is that you can consider this to be either a Q or a QU, depending on what makes your word-finding easier.  This is at variance with the official Boggle rules but those who were with us when we did a tournament a couple months back remember, sometimes you get a board that's nothing but letters Q so we need *some* breaks."
Mako says, "I think we have to game join to start as well? I forget"
Austin says, "We do, Mako.  But: are there any questions before I start things out?"

Mitsuki >:3
Austin says, "Can be!"
Austin says, "Now, has everyone who wants to compete joined?  If you don't play yourself, you can still look at the 'board' but kindly do not tip off players to good words however much you like me."
Borris arrives from - Cash Creek Casino -.
Borris has arrived.
Athares settles in and smiles at the other players- oh. Gets up... comes back with a plate of hot cocoa mugs to offer around the table, one for himself.
Westly giggles and nods.
Borris sits by Patchy
Austin says, "Also, may the spectators please be quiet during a round to give folks a chance to concentrate on the board and their own play, please?"
PatchO'Black hugs Borris!
Austin says, "Borris, hi there.  Do you want in on the match, or are you just cat-sitting?"
Borris Gruffs, "I'm just watching"
Austin says, "All right, then."
PatchO'Black mews, "I'm running the concessions stand, Borris!"
Athares ahs, probably got the cocoa from Patchy then.
Borris Gruffs, "Okay Patchy."
Austin says, "So I have playing: BunnyHugger (team Rabbits & Rodents), Patashu (team Dragon), Austin (Brazilian Dreams II), Athares (Mystics and Magicians?), Mako (the same but confidently), and Mitsuki (not sure?)."
Austin says, "Anyone else?"
Mitsuki says, "Oh! Team Unnatural Monstrosities for me!"
Athares says, "Mystics and Misfits, but we all know what you meant."
Austin says, "Unnatural Monstrosities, thank you."
Mitsuki salutes!
Austin says, "Mystics and Misfits, thanks too."
Vahno says, "Surprised Enixi didn't bounce off your head again Pata."
Austin says, "OK, we'll play as many rounds as we can get in in the next one hour 42 minutes and ... "

Patashu gaming?
Mako oog.
Austin says, "OK, we can chat a bit now, and we can consider challenges.  Are there any?"
Athares says, "I challenge 'poli' and 'polin.'"
Mako says, "My kingdom for some decent vowls..."
Athares says, "Fel, felin..."
You rumble, "I always find it fascinating how with so little words to make I can still miss thel ion's share of them. Like, wow, Newt was there?"
Austin says, "Neither poli nor polin are words.  Patashu, please 'reduce 3'."
reduce 3
>>  Your score is now 12.
Austin says, "Are those challenges, Athares?"
Athares says, "Yes"
Austin is meanwhile annoyed that we were one E short of 'LINOTYPE'.
Mitsuki says, "Right??"
Patashu oh wow.
Austin says, "Neither Fel nor Felin are words.  Patashu, please 'reduce 3' again."
reduce 3
>>  Your score is now 9.
Athares says, "HRT as well. That's an acronym"
Borris pats PatchO'Black!
PatchO'Black purrs!
Mitsuki says, "...Lino is a word, I shoulda done that."
Mitsuki says, "Noo!"
Athares says, "Liony isn't in there..."
Austin says, "HRT is not in the dictionary; Mitsuki, please 'reduce 1'."
Austin says, "You're also challenging 'liony', Athares?"
You rumble, "Oh, as a note, Athares, you're not supposed to open the dictionary and look for missing words"
BunnyHugger says, "I challenge 'nole'"
Mitsuki says, "I dunno how else you'd describe a lion!"
Mitsuki giggles
>>  Mitsuki reduces their score by 1.
You rumble, "(obviously we can't prevent you from doing that so gentleman's honour here)"
Athares looks to Patashu. "I don't believe I was told this? Well, going ahead then."
Mitsuki says, "Ah well, at least I still have my towel."
Patashu thumbs up, I think it was not said
>>  Mitsuki reduces their score by 2.
Austin says, "OK, 'liony' is not a word."
PatchO'Black hands Borris his personal frosty mug of root beer.
Austin says, "'Nole', meanwhile, _is_ a word although https://scrabblewordfinder.org/dictionary/nole doesn't give a definition.  BunnyHugger, please 'reduce 1'."
Borris sips the Root Beer
Austin says, " https://www.thefreedictionary.com/nole says it's 'the head'."
BunnyHugger says, "Great"
Athares says, "This is why I'm surprised this game has a special dictionary if you're supposed to use common language."
You rumble, "Super archaic word, I only knew about it because I saw a puzzle called 'Nole 2'"
Mitsuki says, "It's a sort of hyena... Wait, I'm thinking of gnoll."
Mako says, "Having a set dictionary helps for the scoring."
Austin says, "Are there any other challenges?"
Mako says, "Everyone else got theones I saw."
Patashu didn't know Tony was a non-proper noun, TIL.
Patashu looked that one up instead of challenging it because he wasn't confident
Athares says, "I just assumed it's including proper nouns as words."
Athares says, "Common ones anyway."
You rumble, "TYL (Today You Learned) then :)"
Austin says, "As 'tony' it means 'classy', like, 'a tony restaurant'."
Austin says, "Are there any other challenges?"
Athares . o O ( That might be run by Tony. )
You rumble, "None here"
Austin says, "I'll give 30 seconds and then start the next round."
Athares says, "I think I'm done. I've abused the dictionary enough."
Austin says, "10 seconds."

Mako whee, okay that one had more words she could use, but her brian no worky
[OOC] Patashu missed lanes, just ran out of time
Mitsuki says, "Woah."
Austin missed it too.  "Well, any challenges?"
Athares says, "To clarify, if we challenge and are wrong on the challenge, the one issuing the challenge loses the points?"
You rumble, "Correct"
BunnyHugger says, "Pime and pimes."
Austin says, "Yes, the challenger loses in that case."
Austin says, "Neither pime nor pimes are words.  Patashu, please 'reduce 3'."
reduce 3
>>  Your score is now 23.
BunnyHugger says, "Also mens."
Austin says, "Mens is also not in the dictionary.  Patashu, please 'reduce 1'."
reduce 1
>>  Your score is now 22.
You rumble, "Down to a tie..."
Athares smiles. "You're rather aggressive aren't you, Patashu?"
Mitsuki says, "Patashu's Vip and Athares's Lan. Both acronyms!"
You rumble, "I type everything I can think of"
BunnyHugger says, "I challenge nise"
Austin says, "Neither vip nor lan are in the dictionary.  Patashu and Athares, please both 'reduce 1' for those."
>>  Athares reduces his score by 1.
reduce 1
>>  Your score is now 21.
Austin says, "And 'nise' is not either.  Patashu, please 'reduce 1'."
reduce 1
>>  Your score is now 20.
Patashu looked up Fas. Interesting that that barely counts as a word
Mitsuki sees a word, and starts thinking of Winning Ways for your Mathematical Plays again.
Patashu . o O ( upstar )
BunnyHugger says, "I challenge 'falt'"
Austin says, "Falt is not in the dictionary; Athares, please 'reduce 1'."
>>  Athares reduces his score by 1.
Borris pats PatchO'Black!
Austin says, "Are there any other challenges?"
Mitsuki . o O ( Are these dictionaries cool enough to have "simp" in them? ...Probably. )
Patashu . o O ( I was wondering if anyone would challenge that! )
Athares . o O ( Simp is shown as valid, but has no definition. )
Patashu . o O ( LOL )
Patashu . o O ( simp, noun/verb: look we're too old for this ok )
Westly evesdrops on thoughts, pretends that he can't... but he smiles.
Austin says, "OK, any other challenges?"
You rumble, "None from me"
Mitsuki . o O ( Wait no, simp has a much older meaning... )
Austin says, "If not, we'll start the next round in 30 seconds."
Mako nope! AFK a mo

You rumble, "Volley?? Dang."
Mitsuki says, "Dang! Someone else found Volley..."
You rumble, "Also missed Lovely"
Austin says, "Aw, I thought I had an in with Volley."
Austin says, "Well, are there any challenges?"
Mitsuki highfives Austin.
You rumble, "I think my brain shuts down rather than look for weird consonant-to-consonant transitions. That's the practice I need to do."
Austin grins.
PatchO'Black mews, "Well, I'm going to head for bed."
Athares waves to Patchy, "Rest well."
Austin says, "Night, Patchy.  Thanks for the concessioneering."
Borris Gruffs, "Have a good night Patchy"
PatchO'Black mews, "Who wants hugs?"

PatchO'Black mews, "Good night!"
PatchO'Black takes out his calico flute and play a short tune, taking him away...
PatchO'Black has left.
Athares says, "Patashu actually has the best strategy I think. You lose nothing for shotgunning guesses, but you risk by challenging, so for the guesser it's a zero-risk gamble."
>>  Athares reduces his score by 2.
Austin nods, "We might revise the rules in future."
You rumble, "Yeah if you got overpenalized I'd be more careful."
You rumble, "Up to Austin what meta he wants to run tourneys under, I just play the game."
BunnyHugger says, "I'm also challenging 'poal,' 'tealy', 'evap' "
Austin says, "But, we have the rules we have for now."
Athares nods to Patashu on that.
Austin says, "None of those three are words.  Athares, please 'reduce 2' and Mitsuki, please 'reduce 1'."
>>  Athares reduces his score by 2.
You rumble, "(Also it lets me mix in things that look like nonsense but aren't like Nole ;>)"

Patashu waves to Borris
Borris goes home.
Borris has left.
Athares waves- ah.
Austin says, "All right, are there any other challenges?"
You rumble, "None from me."
Austin says, "OK, 30 seconds until the next round."

BunnyHugger says, "Meo, gow, loe, loh, meo, werx, drem"

Athares says, "You really don't like 'meo'."
Athares smiles a bit. "To be fair, it is an acronym."

Patashu lols at Bunney
You rumble, "Bunney :)"
Athares says, "That word is not in my brain. What's the reference?"
Mitsuki says, "Yay! Lube is mine alone."
Austin nods, Mitsuki's hogging the lube, got it.
You rumble, "I think Quen is only in Vietnamese but it's meant to look like 'Queen'"
Mitsuki sputters. "Well don't say it like that!"
BunnyHugger says, "Cune, quen, plune, yeo"
BunnyHugger says, "Also 'yone', sorry"
Austin says, "None of those five are words.  Patashu, please 'reduce 6'."
reduce 6
>>  Your score is now 28.
You rumble, "Rip."
Mako says, "I swear we've had Quen come up in a prior game"
Austin says, "Yeah, Quen is just one of those things we want to be a word, because we'd take 'QEEN' as equivalent to 'Queen'."
Westly returns... looks at the new letters.
Mitsuki says, "I challenge benn, boe, bul, buls, bunney (sorry), mye, ney, ubo..."
Athares smiles. "I was wondering if anyone would hunt the bunney."

[OOC] Athares says, "Clune... dammit spessman game still floating around my head"
Athares says, "Can I collect my mulligan for a 9 instead?"

Patashu . o O ( Beyblade, let it rip )
Austin says, "Yes, Athares, you're right.  Reduce 9 instead please."
BunnyHugger says, "Yes, Athares should reduce 9."
>>  Athares reduces his score by 9.
Austin says, "And Clune isn't a word, so Mistuki, thank you."
You rumble, "Too bad we couldn't have fluffy here."
Mako says, "I completely balked on that one, I'm afraid. But I think I might be running on fumes."
Austin says, "Don't worry, we only have another three hours to go, Mako."
Patashu wutface
Austin says, "Are there any further challenges?"
Austin grins.
Athares says, "Always nice to have you at the table either way."
Mitsuki says, "A lune is a geometric figure, a clune is a series of letters that sounded pronouncable so I went with it."
[OOC] Athares says, "Funfact, cluwne is a cursed state you can get in SS13 / 14. Usually by getting caught griefing"
[OOC] Mitsuki was trying to reference SS14 with Scub, but it's actually Skub.
[OOC] Athares did the same!
Austin says, "OK, if there's no further challenges we'll start a new round in 30 seconds."
[OOC] Patashu says, "Skub is a PBF reference for me"

Austin says, "It was a simple over/under bet.  I took the 'over five times', she took the 'under'."
