[ the video flickers on to a table--it looks to be in Odin, where the Eleventh Doctor is sitting with one leg slung over the other, what looks to be a Scrabble handbook in one hand.

there's a game currently in progress, letters clearly seen. except they're a bit different from what you might qualify as letters. he flips to the last page with a huff and sets it back down, then laces his fingers together. ]

Now, if you lot have played Scrabble before, good! If not, you really ought to expand your board game database, it's really quite fun! Better than Monopoly--who likes Monopoly? Monopolies were outlawed for a reason.

Rubbish game.

[ oh, right, he should stop rambling. ]

So! Me and... myselves, Ninth and Tenth, are in a bit of a pickle: should "of Rassilon" be acceptable as a suffix? It's as commonplace as "ing" in the English language.

Sort of. Maybe. It's got to count.

I'm sure of it.

[ ooc: the other two Doctors, (andsowasi) and (tardisblue) will also be responding to comments, so don't fear if we skip someone! ]

I'd say it was more like an ist than an ing.

I think that'd be cheating. Just a bit.

[consults]

No.

[even if he has no damned clue as to what the hell those game pieces are saying]

[ the fuck, man. he's just sorta headtilting at the tiles. ]

I... guess not? Not sure if the network is the best way to settle this.

[watsowned]

I vote yes. It totally counts -- if only because most things would sound cooler if they had "of Rassilon" tacked onto the end.

[mybffmrhat]

I've never heard of a suffix that's two words before...

Say, what language is that, anyway?

[Screw the game. Screw the crazy ass letters. He's honing in on something else that caught his attention.]

...Yourselves?

[Don't mind the man with clock for eyes just tilting his head at the screen like a curious bird.]

What sort of letters are those? And what's a Scrabble? Or Rassilion? I don't understand.

[spacecasing]

Is that the language where you come from? It's coooooool.

And also it sounds like a suffux to me! But I've never actually played Scrabble hehehe.

The hell is that?

I don't even know what I'm supposed to be looking at.

[because seriously what is going on here.]

And for those of us who have no idea what "Scrabble" is?

completely ignore that last tag, it's early lmao

[perpetualized]

Think you're asking the wrong pool of people about the linguistics of Gallifreyan, Doctors.

Besides, you all win in the end, if you're just playing with yourselves. [Griiiiiin]
