welcome By way of reminder, the object of this game is to solve (and briefly explain) the clue presented by the previous poster and then set your own clue.

Anything from the (worldwide) crossword arena is acceptable by way of clue style, but if you stray too far from the pure path beware the scourge of... Pandora's WET NOODLE! scared wavegirl

The puzzle could be an old favourite or something of your own making. Don't be shy: this is for everyone, not just the old hands!

For those unfamiliar with crossword clues who want to give it a try, there is plenty of guidance online and a quite entertaining and instructive book (not just for beginners) available from amazon http://www.amazon.com/The-Times-Crack-Cryptic-Crosswords/dp/0007546521/ref=dp_ob_image_bk and no doubt elsewhere, and for those who like British Crosswords you may like to try these (which are free): http://www.theguardian.com/crosswords.

There is nothing to prevent (say) a couple of related clues if offering a single clue cramps your style.

If there are multiple answers involved, there is no restriction against one person solving all and the solver of the final clue/part is the one who goes next.

Obviously you need to await confirmation of a correct answer before posting your own puzzle, but please then do so reasonably promptly: if having answered correctly you are not going to be able to set a follow-up clue within about the next 18 hours, please pass your turn to someone else so that the game does not stall.

To save the poor demented solvers from excessive brain damage crazy , you should consider revealing one letter of the answer when the question is set, unless the answer is very short/easy so that provision of a letter hint at the outset would spoil the sport!

If no-one is biting within about 24 hours you should start dropping additional hints.

To try to give everyone a fair crack of the whip, the immediately previous setter is asked not to post a solution to the current clue within the first 24 hours.

The weighty trophy to be passed to whoever solves your clue is the jewel-encrusted World Clue Federation Championship Belt
===[**WCF**]=== praise

Constructive criticism and cheerful badinage are to be expected, not to mention a certain amount of national rivalry, but above all, have a bit of fun! dance

Next clue to follow shortly.

Presumably rousing, being gin sour reversed or anagrammed with sour as indicator, but why sour-sour? headscratch

If two separate indicators, presumably one is for gin and one is for sour, but I am not sure what that does to improve the clue.

sour-SOUR: ROUSing : sour is indicator, rearranging SOUR to ROUS

Denis, I took it as "used to be", or "once" was a racket. I've never heard the term so I'm just guessing. wink

I thought it may be scarpered as well, since I've never heard of that word so it must be used in the UK. But, then I found that camp is actually a synonym of fish so I went with that. Go figure. Nice job, Lex! thumbsup

I was sufficiently intrigued to try to find reference to camp as a type or synonym of fish, but could not although I did turn up this misleading search result (click on the link and it fails to show any joinder of meaning):

Camp out - definition of camp out by The Free Dictionary
https://www.thefreedictionary.com/camp+out
Define camp out. camp out synonyms, camp out pronunciation, camp out ... kind of fish dwells near the bottom of the ocean"; "deer are populating the woods" ...

Well, worth a try: agate ?
a = one
gate = old-fashioned way to get


gate3
noun Scot and Northern English dialect
2a: way or method of doing something

Close enough, Denis. Right answer. One = a + gate (old-fashioned way to "get a"). Took a little liberty there. Not really much of an anagram indicator but it sounded good. lol

I'd put a marble in this, if I had one! kissy ===[**WCF**]===
