Googlebot

Tom,

Can something be done to block googlebot from SICO?  Your reply to a similar query regarding Muddle was that the bots do not mess up the games.  If all it was doing was crawling, I would agree.  However, googlebot is doing more than just crawling.  It had taken to offering draws which, though more annoying, was also tolerable.  More recently it has been making moves which truly are messing up the games.
Of interest to no one but me ;-)

For once, it's not the usual Top 50 bragging. Just played a somewhat cool game:

http://archive.snoot.org/scribble/05.10/08.00.56.53-1459.html

Broke two records...

1) Quickest to all four trips. Old record was 19 words, now 17 words.

2) Lowest Trip Sum % (what percentage of the total score the trips accounted for). Old record 55.77%, now 55.24%.

Have to update this in the guide and need to update Top 50 soon enough as well. Yes, I'm nuts.  :-)

How did the game Scribble come about and when was it started?  I have just picked up a board game with instruction in the lid of the box.  Please let me know if you have any information.  Thank you for your time.  You can e-mail me at jbauer163@comcast.net

Cheating
[52225] by "Anonymous" (146.235.130.52)   on Tue 27 Sep 2005 13:24:04     reply ] 
Maybe you can explain the difference.  When you use an aid on Muddle, you are accused of cheating.  When you don't use an aid on Scribble, (not being able to make these ridiculous 8-letter words), you are accused of being a troll or not "saving" the TLS.  Why is it you allow, if not encourage a helping aid, i.e. A2ZWORDFINDER.COM, on Scribble, yet ban someone from playing Muddle for using some sort of aid.  And if it isn't allowed on Muddle, why is it so on Scribble?  And it is, because if you asked most of these people to use the 8, 9, or even 10-letter word they have just made in a sentence, their response would probably be, "Huh?".  That is before they had a chance to look it up in at www.dictionary.com.
Z words for scribble
[52155] by "alpha" (netcache-3001.bay.webtv.net)   on Sun 25 Sep 2005 17:22:15     reply ] 
Not too long ago. we listed Q without U words, so how about some 3 letter z words that don't start with z? I know the all powerful adz, adze, azo and biz, but are there some others? I'm sure I've forgotten some, or there are some I don't know.
Hogging the spotlight :-)

It'll take a while for another 1900+ game to occur, but I'm doing my best to expedite the process...   :-)
