you didn't state which game you're tryng to play, so the 2 I play regularly:
Muddle -- more than one person can play Muddle at the same time. It's true, most games are played solo, but that doesn't mean you can't join in a game in progress. One server, though, can only open 2 games at a time, so if there are 2 webtv players already playing and you try to open a 3d game, the system won't let you. In that case, you either join one of the games being played, or wait till one of the oter games ends.
Scribble: you should be able to play in any game, UNLESS a webtv plaer made the last play and the game is 'greyed' out.
A webtv tip: you need to reload the menu page after almost every play in Scribble and after every game in Muddle, as, for some reason with our server, they don't always automatically update.
Also, read the instructions for both games - Muddle only counts words of 4 or more letters, and there are ways to increase the points in Scribble.
Hope this helps. |
