PLEASE, somebody, get these "advanced" children some solitaire games or games in which they only have to associate with their own kind.
They may not care for my playing style since it NEVER involves use of a dictionary. How lame is it to play a word game with a dictionary even when it may be allowed in the rules? Where's the challenge in trying to find a place on the grid to place a long, obscure word you have searched for in a dictionary based on the letters you have to use?
As long as we all have to play the same games, remember that there are as many complaints about the way you try to dominate games as there are about the way some of us refuse to follow in lock-step. Many people are too polite to tell you about it; I'm not. |

I understand the frustration of trying to play around the trolls, but I find it just as frustrating to try to get into a game -- in the regular games, not the expert games -- that's being dominated by one person, i.e., one player has taken over and is making all the plays.
I started a new board tonight, and have not been able to get into the game since, because one person is hogging the game. The suggestion of one-player games was made last week, but as far as I know Tom hasn't implimented it -- and this game tonight is driving me crazy.
Hog a game YOU start, but don't take over someone else's game! Did you ever think I might want to play?

came up as a word in muddle, but i can't find it any of my normal online dictionaries.
google has a plethora of Asimove related hits. hmm... is there bias in the muddle/scribble dictionary? =)

Tom,
I've been playing Muddle for awhile now, and this never used to bother me but now (since I've been playing more) it drives me nuts: I usually don't get my full 120 seconds of playing time.
It could be a webtv problem, but it doesn't happen in other timed games on other sites. I know we lose some time when we hit enter to play the words we've found (webtv just isn't as fast as a PC in that regard), but it's more than that -- I think I'm fairly decent at finding the words, but will type in 12 words and suddenly only have 30 seconds left to play (and on a game that has more than 100 words, it drives me nuts)
I know I've gotten my full 120 seconds when I find more than 25 words -- and that isn't often.
Any ideas?
thanks! |

Would you consider creating a few "scribble solitare" games? |

Tom, currently the Muddle stats read:
"2,155,925 of 14,042,162 words found (-15.-2%) in 169,753 games."
What's with the -15.-2% -- surely we're not that bad! |

(I knew that would get your attention, Mike!)
It ties the top score 02/09/01, anyway... the link wouldn't work so that I could compare the two:
http://archive.snoot.org/scribble/04.10/17.14.48.14-1503.html
Gimme some stats to make me feel good, Mike -- like top score achieved primarily by a (horrors!) webbie ;-) |
