The Step-Mother of all Scribble Records...!

hehe, it's not quite "The Mother", but it's pretty close. Tonight, Laura, Michelle, and myself played a game that ended with a score of 1701.

As usual, if you want to see how to play a virtually perfect game (to learn strategies), go here:

When I tried to spell the last word in a game kept getting this error message:

uncaught exception E_FILE: opena: Couldn't opena(write/append): /home/httpd/snoot-archive/scribble/04.01/10.02.48.38-1001.html
Scribble Archives Screwed Up

Tom, as I write this (1:20 AM early on 1/10/2004), the scribble archives aren't "recording" the games properly as they end. Check the latest directory, and you'll see that some of the files are zero bytes. Luckily we haven't played any Top 50 games tonight, but still... comments?  :-)

**Major** Scribble Bug!!

Tom, I've never seen anything like this in six years here... three of us were playing a game, and according to MJ, she played "b14d.oy", and it wound up at A2-Down!! That would be strange enough. Even stranger is the fact that the misplaced "OY" was not connected to any other tiles!!! I took a picture of the situation if you're interested:

I think I speak for all three of us when I say -- I'd really like to know what caused this bug, if you can figure it out... we haven't been able to duplicate it since, and doubt it'll ever happen again. It's just a really bizarre... thing.  :-)

Thanks, Tom...

Interesting Curiosities...
[30189] by "DeLorean" (pool-68-161-80-216.ny325.east.verizon.net)   on Fri 19 Dec 2003 01:46:27     reply ] 
Hey guys & gals, just wanted to show off a couple of interesting Scribble games we've had recently. But first, I just wanna remind Tom to add more directories to the Scribble archives. There are only 12 days left until 2004...!! I worry that the games will become completely screwed up once it finds it can't archive them.

Anyway, the first game scored 1586 points, good enough for 16th place all-time. I know what you're saying -- big deal. But -- this was the first game in the history of snoot.org to have no S tiles in any of the 4 "triple-triple" words. This is much harder to achieve than it looks...

The second game is simply a [very] high scoring one, at 1624 points. This is currently 5th place all-time. Both of these games were played within the last week.

That's all. Thanks  :-)
