nance, you appear to be a new player -- i saw your name & IP only an hour or so ago - yet you are already playing the expert games.
Please do not play the expert games unless you follow the expert guide. See the post to YSI on this same topic below. You played joys on a trip for 40-some points, for pete's sake! That is definately not following the expert guidelines.
There are only 3 expert games, set up by Tom for the experts -- they are called EXPERT GAMES for a reason -- and you are certainly not an expert scribble player at this point.
Please play the regular games and leave the expert games for the experts. |

It just amazes me at the absolute cruelty of some people. It makes me wonder what kind of people they really are. I came on here last evening after what has been the worst couple of weeks of my life. Everything I own was stolen from me by a viscious storm called Katrina. My home, my job, EVERYTHING! I am thankful however my life and the lives of my family were spared. But then the words of a fellow responding to a word I had made felt like acid being poured into an open wound. Oh I know he had no idea what I have been going through but the thing is people should not speak words unkindly no matter what. You just never know. Maybe I didn't make a good choice of words and I admit my mind has been somewhat scrambled of late but the game was almost at the end with only a few words left to play. Mine was #37 and I took the opportunity to play the Z. How many times is there a Z left with nowhere to play it? The point is I do know how to play this game and most of the time I feel I do fairly well. But it seems that unless you are in the elite group that has been playing for a long time you are criticized for each play you make. And the words used are so harsh and unkind. I am so thankful that most people in this world are not like that as I have seen first hand in the past couple of weeks. |

Nicely fits in the whopping 15-point gap between 1870 and 1885. :-)
Someone else score 1800+ now, I'm pooped. ;-) |

YSI, you should know that the expert game you opened with 'boneless' has been voted on to end (so far, by at least 2 webbies), and will probably be ended shortly.
Expert games are played by expert rules. You must have noticed they are not accessible easily, and that's for a reason: so the people wanting to score as high a game as possible can play them according to the expert guide.
The expert guide states opening words are either 3 letters or 7 letters long. They do NOT end on the trip (the pink square). Your 'boneless' broke both rules, thus cancelling the chance for a high scoring game. See Mike's list of the Top 50 games to see what kind of scores are considered high in the expert games (and it isn't 1000 pts!)
New players are welcome, but ONLY if they play by the expert rules.
Read the expert guide and follow it, or games in which you play will probably be ended before completion, and you will most likely open yourself up to harsh chat.

Yes, six months in the making, I finally updated the Top Fifty page! Ten new games were added since the last update.
Also, I randomly came across this in the archives:
http://archive.snoot.org/scribble/05.08/12.10.21.04-1144.html
You people need to post or tell me when records are set... hehe. The above game set the record for best 2-word start (470 pts.), killing the old record (451 pts.) --

Will update the records page soon enough. :-)
