ok ,i've been playing scribble for a while now , and i've encountered a few pple i like to call friends. But i've also encountered pple dat i like to label troubled.

But there are a few i jus can't stand . they make playing scribble very hard for me sometimes and all though i love scribble , i would hate to give it up jus because f a few certain pple . i don't know wat to do ........?
Non-expert, high scoring game
[32813] by "EyesWideOpen" (pandora.isinet.com)   on Mon 23 Feb 2004 16:04:38     reply ] 
I would just like to acknowledge a game that was played recently on the general (non-expert) boards which scored 1320:

This, I think, is pretty darn good for a non-expert game and I'd like to thank mclink, Otto and anyone else involved (don't remember if anyone else was playing or not and the archived game wasn't available at the time of this writing) for cooperating. ;-)
Muddle words

I love playing muddle but where do these words come from on the word lists at the end of the game? I'd say three quarters of them I never heard of. This is a great game...I'm just curious.
The All-Premium DLS Game Achieved!!!

Yes, it finally happened. Tonight, Laura and I played a game whose four key DLS tiles were occupied by the J, Q, X, and Z. There is no better combination of DLS tiles than this -- it's unbeatable. View this masterpiece here:

What a nice Valentine's Day gift this was... hehe. It only came in 3rd place all-time (77 points behind 1st place!), but getting JQXZ on the DLS was one of our long-term Scribble goals. We were only 10 points away from having every trip be worth over 300 points (TRAJECTS was "only" 290). Something else to shoot for, I suppose... hehe. I invite any and all to try  ;-)

That's all... just the usual narcissistic rambling. Thanks for putting up with it, Tom.   :-)))

Has anybody ever worked out the maximum possible score for a single turn?

"stent" is a word, it is a type of rubber drain placed usually during surgery
$100 Prize to Tom? ;-)

Tom, I think I may just give you the $100 prize if you can permanently fix these intermittent (and sometimes prolonged) crashes... hehehe  ;-)

You can link to the Expert Guide URL on the main Scribble page whenever you want... the meat of it is done... have an update in the works, but this'll mean I can update it without having to tell you first  :)

Expert Scribble Guide
[31974] by "DeLorean" (pool-68-161-99-108.ny325.east.verizon.net)   on Mon 02 Feb 2004 04:40:20     reply ] 
Hey Tom and anyone else interested,

I started working on that improved Scribble instructions page, that I mentioned earlier. It's primarily intended to help beginners turn into experts. Right now, it's very lonely at the top...  ;-)

Even though it's a work in progress (I'd say it's only about 20% completed), you can view it here:

http://www.geocities.com/janssenchimica/scribble/

As you'll see, various small pieces of the file are plagiarized from yours (Tom's), but I did give you credit at the end... hehe. The majority of the file covers much more ground than the original, and goes into more detail.

And yes, before anyone mentions it, those first ten "random" tiles I used as an example aren't exactly random -- it's an in-joke to the existing experts. LOL  :-)

You *will* be hosting this thing when it's completed... no if's, and's, or but's. hehe. Any comments, leave 'em here -- thanx.
