Based on the success of Riddler's Word Association Thread, I'm starting a new one.
In one of the Black Fleet Crisis books (I can't remember which one), a few New Republic personnel were playing a word game over their ship's intercom. It went like this:
One person says a word. (eg. Tower)
The next person says a word that starts the way the previous word ends. (eg. Error)
(Go by the last syllable.)
(Proper names and non-english words aren't allowed.)
I'll start with

Now I am the master (Darth Vader, A New Hope)
I believe he meant start a new word using whatever letters are in the last syllable of the word he posted, not post a word that rhymes.
etc, etc.

I don't have to look it up; icth means fish, and oid means form or shape, so I assume it means fish-shaped.
oidium

And bulbous, acronyms, unless widely accepted ones such as radar and laser, are not considered words. Stick with proper english

I don't much prefer proper nouns, seeing as how any name can be made up to form a word, but I will let this slide.

"st" isn't neccisarily the last syllable, nor are proper names allowed. therefore, a ballot in the black box for ostracize.
