[Edited version without keeping track of scores]
Sorry, I can't come up with a better title. This is a variant of the create a word from the last letter of the previous word game. In this game, however, instead of choosing only the last letter of the previous word, you can choose the last few consecutive letters and create a word starting with those. Here's an example to make things clear:

Poster #1: Havoc
Poster #2: Avocados
Poster #1: Store
Poster #2: Reaction
Poster #1: Actions


Rules:
0. Use valid English words only. Proper nouns, contractions, abbreviations, hyphenated words, idioms are not allowed. If you're unsure about the existence of your word, please look for it in an online dictionary.
1. If you choose the last x letters of the previous word, your word should start your word with those x letters in the same order. Rearrangement, insertion or removal of letters is not allowed.
2. Pluralising, changing the tense, or attaching suffixes to the previous word and using the same without changing the root word is NOT allowed. Eg. Man -> Mans/Manning/Manned/Manly/Manliness is not allowed. However, Man -> Manner is fine.
3. Using a subset of the previous word as it is is not allowed, but you can add a suffix (or at least one more letter) and use it. Eg. Palatable -> Table is not allowed whereas Palatable -> Tables is.
4. No repetition of words on the same page. Use Ctrl+F if in doubt.

It's correct, just that your score should be 7 (4+3).

Shouldn't be. I guess I'll modify my Engrishy Rule #2 to better reflect that. How does this sound:

``Pluralising, changing the tense, or attaching suffixes to the previous word and using it without changing the root word is NOT allowed. Eg. Man -> Mans/Manning/Manned/Manly/Manliness is not allowed. However, Man -> Manner is fine.''

To be fair, let's keep things the way they are for this round.
