Proposal: Extend the Rule of X (an existing phantom of any letter may be defined during X week) to Y and Z as well. --John Cowan 14:18, 15 Mar 2005 (EST)
- Clarification: the "Rule of X" and any derivatives ONLY kicks in IFF all existing X phantoms have been defined. The goal is to curtail the immediate and forced creation of impossible-sounding words, not to lessen the importance of phantoms that have been previously created. With that said, I'm against it for Y, and on the fence about it for Z. --Morbus Iff 17:11, 15 Mar 2005 (EST)

Slight navigation changes: Phantom popularity has been removed from the sidebar, since it's far less important than Ghyll Phantom Index (that page links to the popularity page anyways). I'll also be adding some links specifically related to the Lexicon game - these will supplement the new non-Ghyll pages I've been working. --Morbus Iff 21:20, 2 Dec 2004 (EST)
