15 Points from Retirement :-)

I just played the best game, by far, of my Scribble "career". You be the judge as to its awesomeness:

http://archive.snoot.org/scribble/04.09/21.17.55.45-1885.html

Highlights include: A 10-letter premium-DLS word as the first trip, the first two trips being worth 832 points (!!!!), the new record for total trip sum (1426! Old record was 1396!), and most importantly, NOT A SINGLE EIGHT-LETTER TRIP!  :-)))

Interestingly, since this didn't have all-premium DLS's, the all-premium record (1868) is now lower than the 3-premium record. hehe. Like I said in the chat, though -- if this game couldn't hit 1900, I really wonder if it's ever gonna happen. This game was a thing of beauty, and thankfully a good player was around to take advantage  :-)

OK, I'm done.   :-)
