I just finished playing *another* game ending at 1821. There are only eight games now over 1800, and two with the same score have now been played in the last five days. Weird... :-)

Much has been written about the comments regarding questionable plays, but a comment left today (8/1/04) just threw me for a loop.
A long-time player I respected (who doesn't need to be named - the player knows who he/she is) didn't like a play made by someone many of us have come to hate to see on the boards, and left the following comment, verbatim: "the sad thing about is [player] probably just got home from church"
That's just too personal for me! It's casting aspersions on the personal life of someone I believe none of us know personally. And even if the player is personally known, what the heck kind of person feels the right to knock someone's faith & beliefs because they made a crummy play in a game?!
It's one thing to tell a player they made a stupid/wasteful play, it's another to drag in religion and guess that the player is a religious hypocrite -- and I just don't see any connection between someone's religious beliefs and how they play this game. There is no commandment stating "Thou shalt not make stupid scribble plays."
I, too, get frustrated at some of the plays made, and certain players in particular, but I belive the comments left about those plays/players should not get dragged down to this base level. I lost a lot of respect for the commentor and am glad no one chose to respond to it. Even if made as an off-hand remark, it says a LOT about the person who made the comment. As a politician said last week, I don't wear my religion on my sleeve, but I am offended by those who question the beliefs of others for no good reason, and in this forum it had no place.

When I've clicked on a game played by another webbie and attempt a play, I get the "You can't play two words in a row" screen. I know how to work around that, but new players click on "scribble" from that screen.
The problem is, the program does not quit the player's turn, and the game stays locked until it times out.
[For new players reading this, if you get that gray screen, hit your back button. Change the way you input your play. If you used the drop down menus, type in your entry, and vice versa. If it continues, click the "go back" red button so that the game will unlock.] |

This beatiful 1821 game was played a few minutes ago:
http://archive.snoot.org/scribble/04.07/29.18.07.50-1821.html
Though it came in "only" fourth place, this game arguably had the best tile order I've ever seen. The total number of turns waiting for the first three premium-DLS trips (once the premium itself appeared) was approximately only 10 turns! All-premium DLS, two 8-letter trips, one 9-letter, and one 10-letter. This game also set a new record for "trip sum". It was 1382 here, the old record was 1378. :-)
Also, on a lesser note, this other game was also played today:
http://archive.snoot.org/scribble/04.07/29.17.31.17-1753.html
It's notable in that it's the first game to have all premiums on the DLS, plus the K (a "semi-premium") in a trip as well :-)
Catch ya on the boards!!

In the interest of cooperative play, I would like to ask a favor of those of you who play from computer.
If you come on the the site and there are several games played by webtv.net and a few played by computers, please play the webtv games first.
The program for this site "sees" all WebTV players as the same player and it is difficult for us to play each other. Most the games are blocked, and the games that we can get into we usually get the "You can not play twice in a row" screen. It can sometimes be worked around, but it's a frustrating process.
When you see the comment "I didn't" or similar from a webbie, it is in reply to that screen.
Thanks for your help! |

In case it's not obvious, you're not supposed to play several turns in a row by yourself in Scribble. |

Just to clarify, I am not the BB Guest playing on Scribble.
BBizsleepy is only on Muddle. :-)

you know, i couldn't understand why people like BB and AMBER would keep screwing up expert games. but after playing there for awhile, i can understand. if i've made TWO mistakes, as per deni, well frickin excuse me. i just made my third, and laura was nice enough to explain to me what i had done wrong. i'm not an ass kisser like some of you. playing two words in a row is wrong. saboteddy actually played SIX. so you few experts run to his defense. but wrong is wrong, no matter how good you are. it is supposed to be a co-op game. there's more to this game than hitting 1800. |

playing a game in expert right now and saboteddy has made the last 4 words in a row. what's the deal? he's not that good that he can carry a game alone. if he wants to play with himself, let him find a corner. |
