Here are the rules....
I will start with 2 words and the idea is to change one word and keep other one.

Like THESE posts (order is as posted):
  *me alone
  *alone again
  *again begun
  *join again                                                               
So, according to Word Game Rules, the last "VALID" post made would (technically) be *JOIN AGAIN*
  ~ WHY?? ~
Because the next two posts after that are NOT "VALID" posts:

• BEGUN NOW -  Does Not Use either JOIN or AGAIN as one of the two words

• NOW NOW -  Uses the Same Word Twice (so TECHNICALLY, no word is CHANGED)

But the post after those *NOW NEXT* IS VALID, because (even though it's based on an INVALID post) the post DOES follow game rules

Then, the next two posts after "Now next" also are NOT "VALID" posts:

long jump!

real friend!

  ~ Because these posts do not use ANY WORDS from the previous post

Additionally, these two posts were "back to back" by same person, and "OP" requested (in word game rules) that we not do this.

Please do not post back to back for it.  Give everyone a chance to reply.

Now next

So using the above post, my two words for the word game are:
