I do believe that a thread which forbade the employment of the letter 'e' indeed lay in the achive of the very game forum we participate in, though I am uncertain how far back.

That may have been a very oddball thing to articulate. How can we hold an act involving two people talking to each other when no topic could be interpreted from the alphabet excluding the very letter we are not to include?

[up]4x Indeed, banning the letter 'E' would provide quite a formidable challenge. Practically every word anyone here will type will have an 'E'.

[up]That would be cheating and would give me the mental picture of you having the cadence of a total dork when you talk.

Not too long ago, a game that banned the letter 'E' did, in fact, occur.

Actually, it might be around even today.

No matter, the game we have here will continue to be dumb (and incredibly dumb, at that) for not being that other game.

Are we permitted to utilize the outdated, long form of the prohibited letter? What about the German ligature for the double letter?

Agh!

The game we play is

Okay. -breathe in-

You know, I believe the game of which we are playing to be actually rather difficult. Well, difficult in the ability required to avoid being perceived as- Gah!

Being percieved to be queer, not to imply anything foul.

I referenced a trope without invoking the forbidden letter! Yay. Also, writing here took a lot more effort than I expected to need.

Oddly enough, when I woke up today, I realized that I had dreamt about the very thread we are in right now'. (/overly dramatic)

Well, really, to be correct, the dream world followed the rule of the thread. I didn't really dream about the thread.

I did, however, keep failing. Damn you blue corundum, damn you!

Why couldn't the dream have gone with the garnet.

And to say I was nervous... it wouldn't be quite enough.

Would the title of a work be acceptable for mention if the forbidden letter were to be replaced by a * mark?

[up][up] I think it would be more entertaining if we tried to reference the work in an alternative way, like what... [up] did. Or, alternatively, we could leave the forbidden letter out (and maybe find an alternative way to reference them anyway). For example, a certain overrated prophet would become "Not Ra, damn you!"

...What? No! Maybe I ought to have typed a different word than 'prophet' in order to make my point clearer. I merely don't know the right word for an individual who wrote propheci...

Wait a minute, 'Mohammad' and any other way one could type that (that I know of) do not even contain the forbidden letter!

No no no, I mean the guy everybody believed made a prediction for everything. You know, the guy mentioned by the video contained within the following link.
