Scribble Saturday or Sunday brunch/tea, anyone?

Do any of you have an interest in setting up an informal 'play date', where those of us NOT inclined to completely block a triple square, put down a 3-letter word on a triple, waste the esses or premium tiles (and know how to use the Q, for goodness sake) and try to make high scoring games are here at the same approximate time every weekend, so like can play with like?

I'm tired of putting down a set-up to have someone use it to play something like 'sit' on the triple, and seeing people use premium tiles to get 13 points, but I don't often run into the players that taught me -- like oTTo, deni, Curtis, Mike (you know who you are) and honestly, trying to play WITH certain other players is like beating your head against the wall -- they either don't pay attention, don't care, or don't get it, so I either stop playing or revert to playing Scrabble.

I'm not talking about blocking anyone out -- I'd just like to once again play with a couple of people I know will work with me, and if there are 2 or 3 of us here at the same time we stand a better chance of getting some scores higher than 600!

I know this is a rough time of year for some, but for me, time is flexible. Anyone interested?
and heres yet another 1800+ game ;-)

Apologies if this has already been suggested (I'll bet it has), but I think it would be pretty cool to have Muddle, Scribble, and Hangsnoot available in other languages.  It seems to a novice like me that this wouldn't be too hard -- wouldn't you only have to switch the dictionaries?  The only problem I foresee is accents -- maybe these could just appear parenthetically in each applicable letter to be used when necessary.

Pictures

Man, it's been a long time.

It was interesting to see the pictures of people I've only seen smiling through emoticons. I imagined some of you with horns and some of you with halos.

Turns out you're all ordinary people I'd see everyday. Nobody really looked the way I pictured them in my head.

Except Tom. Tom was exactly how I'd pictured him. ;)

Anyway, maybe I'll join you in a game or two one of these days. Seems continually more impossible to beat those scores.

2000 would look good hanging up on a wall, though...
Solitaire

I do mean to pester you, Tom, but this is something that I really wish you'd implement.

I started this solo game,
http://archive.snoot.org/scribble/04.11/13.11.20.38-1318.html early this morning, off the regular boards that no one was playing on. A very good player choose to join the game.  Had she been playing cooperatively, I wouldn't not have had a problem with her participation.  However, this player blocked premium letter set ups and foiled a suggested trip.

I have asked her on more than one occasion what the problem is, and even asked for a truce.  There was no reply.

I don't ever remember pissin' in her cornflakes, but her behavior suggests that I took a DUMP there, too.

Sorry, I got off on a personal rant there, Tom.  Is there a logistical problem in creating the solitaire games?  You've never said "yes" you would make them or "no" you wouldn't -- so, will you? please?
Add Another One To The Top 50 :-))
