I'm thinking of a word that rhymes with "adequate"

Just the last syllable, I'm afraid, but my word also has three. Those who have seen me on Thursday evenings will know it right away.

Jim, do you get "tight" on Thursday?

I have it on good authority that Jim53 lives a life completely given up to dissipation and licentiousness.

>2 louminus: that would make my actual activity disastrous or entertaining, depending on your perspective.

>3 Jenni_Canuck: I'd like to meet this authority. I think I've been missing out on something.

Both of the words that I'm guessing here have one syllable too many.

not: inebriate, degenerate

>4 Jim53: That's what they all say :-)
Not degenerate. Only 3 syllables.

Do you deny the rumours about being wildly extravagant and given to grossly self-indulgent expenditure?

>5 Jenni_Canuck: Denying rumors tends to make life boring. Did you hear the PBS interview with Elizabeth Warren yesterday? I am not running for president.

The new clue sounds like profligate. Was that also what you wanted in #3?

not: inebriate, degenerate, profligate

I'd vote for you! I don't have a tv -- I have to find other ways to get depressed.
Profligate was my guess for both previous clues.

New guess:
At various times in my life, at least according to my mother, I have been rejected by god and I am beyond hope of salvation.

Sounds like reprobate, although south of the border here I've always heard it with a long A (eh).

not: inebriate, degenerate, profligate, reprobate,

Sounds like an adjective is being guessed, but Iʻm trying a verb: Something that has happened BEFORE something
else has __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __d the something else.

Crambo's word is indeed an adjective, although it can also be a noun with the same pronunciation, and a verb with the long A. (I guess I've given away the fact that it is an -ate word and not an -ette word. Oh well.)

not: inebriate, degenerate, profligate, reprobate, predate, antedate,

Is it one of the main parts of a sentence?

No, but the last five letters are the same.

not: inebriate, degenerate, profligate, reprobate, predate, antedate, predicate

Do you beseech, preach or discuss contracts with your mob friends? 4 guesses, perhaps only near rhymes

Crambo doesn't supplicate, advocate, or negotiate with the syndicate.

(Four guesses, impressively efficiently--well done, Jenni!)

not: inebriate, degenerate, profligate, reprobate, predate, antedate, predicate, supplicate, advocate, negotiate, syndicate

Thank you, Jim :-)
However, I didn't mean negotiate when I referenced contracts. Let me get over this troubled water to find another clue.

>15 Jenni_Canuck: I haven't identified another guess... still working on it.

Crambo's word does indeed relate to a type of contracts, and your final sentence makes me wonder if you have figured out the word but are not guessing it. Please ease my mind.

Last night was Thursday. My mentee and I had eleven tops in 18 boards for a 69% game.

No matter how I tried, I couldn't make darts work :( so I repeat my earlier guess which I believe is the opposite of rubber and where one makes contracts. (3 clues, 1 guess)
:-)

Yes! Crambo's word is indeed duplicate, as in bridge or elsewhere. Well done and over to you.

Thanks, Jim! New game here.

Clicking on "New Game here" doesnʻt get me anywhere?
The same for everybody??

It takes me to a dormant thread entitled "I'm thinking of a word that rhymes with lolly!" that just fizzled out!

Can someone write a post that WILL take
us to (what was intended as) "New Game Here"?

>22 rolandperkins: The link should take you to http://www.librarything.com/topic/184938 - it doesn't actually start a new game.

To start a new game just go to the Crambo group - http://www.librarything.com/groups/crambo - and Post a new topic. I would, but I don't have the brain space to come up with a good clue :-)

"just go to the Crambo Group (23) "Crambo Group" is also unclickable on my screen.

>24 rolandperkins: Maybe its a security thing - how about https://www.librarything.com/topic/184938 and https://www.librarything.com/groups/crambo

Iʻll make a guess, assuming that "Rhymes with ʻAdequateʻ " is the current puzzle:

an antonymof "early"?
