How about one with the rule that you have to use a minimum of two letters from the previous word,

Eudaimonia.
No, keep the one letter rule.

is not just the length of the word

It's the number of letters carried over.
"Nessus mining station" (from Nessus) scored 6

Make it more complicated by allowing the number of letters shared at the END of the word also count.

I'm very sorry but what are you talking about? Are you saying that I should do something about the END of the word, thereby making it more complicated, or that I have made it too complicated by makingthe number of letters at the end of the previous word count?
You also said "Just keep the one letter rule" so I am leaning towards the latter. Also I mentioned that in this proposed new version "Nessus Mining Station" from "Nessus" would be no good. "Nessus Mining Station" from "Bleargnessus" would be good, if "bleargnessus" were a word. And Eudaimonia what?
I'm not trying to crticize, just to understand.

Oh wait I get it you want to make the score depend solely on the number of letters carried over to the new word from the previous word, right? That might be better since it's much simpler. I still think that there should be a rule against carrying over whole words, though. Of course, it's your game.

The number of letters at the end of the previous word have always counted.

Gaian
GaiAngels
'Angels' scores two points.

As I mentioned in my first post.
Now if you wanted to make it more complicated you could add the letters shared at the end of the word also count.

Drones
Dronessus
Dronessusurper

In this case, 'nessus' scores 3 from 'dronessus'
And 2 from 'nessusurper'
It is entirely possible for a word to score longer than its length in this manner:

Biogenetics
BiogenetICS
Biogeneticsatellite
'ICS' scores 4 (3 from Bio, 1 from Sat) despite it being a 3-letter concept.

I left this out of the rules because I figured it would confuse people.
And sammy, you have proved me right.

BTW Nessus and a Nessus Mining Station I would count as different concepts.
As for Eudaimonia, find me a concept that starts with 'ia'.
There -is- an option for a 0 letter word.
Transcendence
Transcendencevendetta
Where 'vendetta' scores 0 points.
Why would you do this?
It keeps the game moving.

If I understand correctly (and that is a big if) you are saying that you ought to get points for the number of letters that the next person uses from your word. Why should you get extra points for something you had nothing to do with?

Oops! I read the whole thing wrong the first time! So in the rules as they stand the length of the word doesn't count at all - only the number of letters shared. So the ECM thing is actually only one point. Shoot! OK I'll shut up now, if you don't mind.
