teknoman2 3,169 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 3 2 The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What? You thought it was a quote from some well known wise guy from the past? Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born! We are hardcore role players... When we go to bed with a girl, we roll a D20 to see if we hit the target and a D6 to see how much penetration damage we did. Modern democracy is: the sheep voting for which dog will be the shepherd's right hand. Link to post Share on other sites

There is a German scrabble variant, obviously, and it is limited to words in the Duden (the most well known and most commonly used German dictionary) and all their inflections. Therefore the depicted word would be not accepted unless you're playing with house rules and e.g. allow for compound words with unlimited components. If it could fit on the board in the first place, which it doesn't. Building compound words with more than three components is considered to be bad form and the word above, by the way, literally translated means floor grinder renting agency. I think that covery all possible objections and information, right? edit: Took a bit longer than five seconds to type though. Sorry.
