Had problems with 2 basic words - link and face. Said they were not in the dictionary. I know you said play at our own risk, so I'll be back when it's totally up and running. :-)

Hey Tom7,
Think you could put a <pre> tag around the scribble board? (until the finished version gets done) It'd make it a LOT easier to figure out the columns...
Thanks!

Do the double and triple letter and word scores count in this version of scrabble ?

ran into problems entering letters. Internal server error. Thought I'd let you know.

Great to have this back. Looking forward to scribble.

i love the binary fiction thing but how does a story thread end if you discourage people from killing off the character? or is that the point? or am i missing the point?

Snoot is back (nearly) and I'm so happy!

Two things about Hangsnoot:
Didn't there use to be a "guess the whole word" box? It's a bit painstaking having to type in several letters individually once you know what the word is...
And when you've entered a new word, could you make it redirect back to /toys/hang/ rather than just generate a menu 'cause when I press F5 instead of clicking the refresh link(habit) I get an error

Looking forward to Scribble and the rest!

Hi folks!

We're testing out the new system that's running snoot.com and its games. We're also testing the new rules and features of these amusements. That means you might experience instability (ie. disappearing stories) and outages as we patch. Regardless, post your thoughts here.

By the way -- it's probably possible for you guys to guess your way into unfinished areas of the site. Please *don't* do this. I'll announce stuff as soon as it's ready for general consumption; other people poking around can screw up our scripts as we're working on them, and that just means a longer wait for everyone.

How do the games work for you? Are they straightforward (even without the documentation -- which is coming) to play? Are any intimidating? What would you like to see added? What kind of games do you like best (word games/writing games/novelty/other)? Is anything missing from the old snoot.com that you want to see again? Anything you *don't* want to come back?

Thanks!

- Tom 7
