Being the eternal optimist that I am, I did come up with a possible solution. It will only work if everyone agrees to it though. OK, Unless you are 100% certain the person is a "troll" purposely messing up a game, and not a new person; The experienced people could point out a mistake to a new player in a helpful, curteous manner, (Example: Tip: Please note that J would have been better played on a triple letter score tile.). I know it's difficult because it's frustrating to have a game ruined that you were working so hard at, and I know it's been tried, but if we could just try once more. I know I will try this and I'm sorry if my tips ever had a frustrated tone. ~ AND ~ (This is just as important); In return, the new people please try to take the advice in the helpful manner it was meant and really think about placing letters worth higher points on bonus tiles, and honestly try not to block a triple, ruin a setup or waste an S. If you see a 7 letter horizontal word and the triple word score space blank, try to place the S at the end only if you have an 8 letter vertical word. Otherwise, wait and eventually someone will have the letters to do it. If you see a smaller word that can be extended to the triple word score, please don't place the S at the end ruining it's triple potential and waste an S. If you can put Z or J on a triple letter score tile, do it instead of using it on a regular tile. This way everyone should be happy. Of course, these are not official rules. There are no rules. You are free to put any word you wish. This is just a cooperative common curteous way of playing so everyone can get along and create great games. Just a suggestion. I don't see how either side would object to this because both sides will get the results they desire. ~ Witch :-) |
