Missing tweets from Artwiculate
Many current Artwiculate players will know that once upon a time there was a scoring system, and players could vote, resulting in a winning tweet, a Top 5, Top 20, Top 50. That system has been taken down now, for good or ill.
What is certainly 'ill' is that - for reasons best known to themselves - Artwiculate have also removed the archive, which showed the top tweets for every single word of the day. This would be a treasure trove of wit, poetry, puns, clever wordplay, haiku, playfulness.. all gone.
Recently, I happened across the screenshots I made each day I won (vanity, vanity, all is vanity!). These showed not only my winning tweet, but as many tweets as I could fit into a single screenshot. I have converted these using OCR software, and offer them here as a record of happier days, and as an archive - sadly, only a drop in the ocean - of some of the tweets that found popularity with voters.
Please excuse that every word begins with a winning tweet from me. Had I had a crystal ball, I would have taken a screenshot every day, not just when I won, and we would have more of an archive.
Also, apologies to one or two players whose tweet did fit on the screen, but their name did not. I have published their tweet anyway, suffixed with ??????? in lieu of a Twitter name. If they happen to read this and can identify themselves, I'll be happy to add them.
In alphabetical order then (to be completed in stages) :

by your midnight and ~ my twilight, a phalanx of endearment ~

You're my imagination ~ firmament of yester years ~ a piece of
cloud ~ a drop of rain ~ and a sky of love there #lqw #poetry
