Scribble Instruction File, plus a challenge... for Money!

Hey Tom,

No guarantees that this will happen, but if I were to write a comprehensive Scribble Instruction guide (to teach people the way "experts" play), would you put a link to it on the Scribble page? I would probably borrow somewhat from your guide, but it would have many more details and facets to it. It would be a combination of text and pictures, laid out in HTML format with links, most likely. It'd be good -- no one could write this thing better than me... heh  ;-)

In other news, I neglected to brag to everyone about a new first-place Scribble game (1715 points!). View it here, and bow down in reverence... heh: http://archive.snoot.org/scribble/04.01/18.07.02.20-1715.html

And, on that note, I hereby declare a standing offer of $100 to any team of two players who plays a game above that score (1715), or whatever the 1st place score is at the time of their game, whichever is higher. $50 to each player, payable through PayPal or snail mail, I guess. I'd add a bonus (double money, perhaps) if you get J-Q-X-Z on the four DLS tiles -- it's never been done. I'm absolutely serious about this... Some caveats though:

1. The players in the game can not include any of the following: myself, Laura (marketscore.com), or Tom. Sorry, Tom... heh. As far as the first two names on the list, consider this -- there have been only 28 games in the history of this site over 1600 points. Laura and myself have been involved in 27 of them.  :)

2. So-called "15-letter-word" games are not allowed. The game must be of the conventional "four triple-triples" form.

3. No cheating by Photoshopping a game or any other means, and then displaying a picture. The game must appear in the Scribble archives on this site.

4. If it is accomplished, the player(s) must e-mail me from the IP that they played the relevant game from, in order to authenticate themselves. My e-mail address will be provided in such a scenario.

Have at it...! I'd be absolutely astonished if anyone pulled this off, or even came within 100 points of first place.  :)
