Welcome to Gaia! ::

Word of the Week
~you can use any form of the word~
~If you think I have used the work incorrectly in my sentence, please please do tell me! nicely~

Definition:
gregarious
egregious
amicable
fidelity
infidelity

My sentence(s):The new student found it easy to fit in at her new school because of her gregarious upbringing.

The egregious trolls in the forums are causing people to be angry.

The shy, new transfer student was terrified of the overly amicable teacher.

The fidelity of his answer was unquestionable.

She had no idea that her acts of infidelity resulted in her divorce.

How the Thread Works

Because I may not be online everyday, I've decided to make this on a weekly basis. (we'll see how this goes...)

*Every Monday or so I will post anywhere from 2-4 (maybe more) words.

*Your first post for each new word should be your own sentence.

*After that, you can either keep using that word, or a past word.

*Any questions can either be posted here in the thread, or PM'ed to me.

*If you have a suggestion for the next word, feel free to send me a PM. It may not be the next word, but it has good chance of being used. If it is used, I'll post your username when it's chosen.

*I'll also be throwing in some synonyms from time to time as well.

* If you don't like the link I used because it wasn't defined well enough for you, look it up yourself or be added to my ignore list if you complain in the thread or through PMs

*Do NOT ask what a word means if it was a previously used word. Dictionaries DO NOT bite your fingers off! The first time you post, asking what a word means, you'll be ignored. Simple as that.
~note~ asking how to use a word is not the same as asking for the definition - this is rather encouraged if you are at a loss^^

Honorable Mentions
If I really really like your sentence, I'll post it here.

Weekly Contests - Down Until Further Notice...

Rules laid down by myself and Chris:

Chris Danse

Yes, i am the one supplying the gold, so one more rule: if i get a single pm about this, you are automatically removed from this little contest, and if i remember, any other little contest i give Xodie to run...do not try me, i will do it!

Wait, more news in from Supreme Word User Xodie:

"This rule Chris has just mentioned applies to all further contests like this others give me to run, unless THEY state otherwise! This announcement will be added to the rules! Do not go against this, or I will crush you with my dictionary! And yes, contrary to that old rhyme, words *do* hurt! That is all!

How it Works:
1. Each week, or with each new word, there will be a contest, with NO GUARANTEE for a winner! *gasp!*
2. Chris will put up 100 gold, and I, will put up 100 gold. You have an opportunity to win 200 gold
3. In the event that there is no winner for a week, the 200 gold will not roll over to the next contest
4. As the thread continues with a good pace, the roll over gold will start to build up for some random contest in the future
5. If there are two winners, it will be decided on a case by case basis if the gold will be split up or not
6. At the end of the week, both Chris and I must be in agreement for the winner(s).
7. Getting into the memorable posts does not guarantee a win
8. Your sentence must be really good to win.
9. Any questions, PM me

Announcements!

9/14/07 - Contests down until further notice

Sally forth!

Say but one affectionate word to me, and tell me there is nothing angry or estranged between us, and I will detain you no longer.
