First, alpha is not a 'he', thank you very much, and is also a webbie (whatever that has to do with this).

The spirit of Scribble is to be a cooperative word game to make high scores (read the guide, it's stated very clearly there). Anyone that ignores another player's request and continues to play words without thinking of the high score goal is not playing in the spirit of Scribble. Pointing out to someone how they can improve their playing is in the spirit, but those players can't want to improve because they continue to make the same plays.

Writing that post did not make me feel superior. Other factors add in to it. :)

I may have knocked other players, but if you haven't read some of the chat about them, you ain't seen nothing! Other disgruntled players can get a little salty --  this is not the last (or worst) you'll see about how others play, believe me.

And I am someone who plays for the fun of it, but it isn't much fun playing with (or supposedly with, it often seems like they're playing against) someone that doesn't follow the rules of the game. It's like being on a baseball team with half the players using official rules and the other half playing however they want. If that's what you consider "the spirit of Scribble", then I suggest you reread the guide.

"First of all, is that the spirit of Scribble?"

Is blocking set ups, wastings Ss and ignoring suggestions from other players in the "spirit of Scribble?"  Because that's how those players alpha mentioned continuously play.

To me...Alpha has a legitimate gripe and does speak out what others are feeling! It is totally obvious what some of these players are doing and to me that is rotten and pretty immature. Granted, some out there arent trying to be aggravating but are really doing their best. But lately it has just been coming to a head that this needed to be addressed and I say "Hats off to Alpha!" So I guess the bottom line is that we all just have to respect each other's opinions and move on and TRY to enjoy Scribble. No one is trying to outdo or be uppity here. I have been a regular pretty much and the majority has been nothing but nice and helpful. I have learned alot!

I think the chat comments and posts show the true character of these "superior" players.

Wow, what a hornet's nest.

Can't ya'll just be nice and play Scribble?
