Thanks for the kudos. I just added a ton of stuff to it, almost doubling the size of the page in the process.
http://www.geocities.com/janssenchimica/scribble/ Everyone can see for themselves, but here's what's new: - Added the "How to Play Words" section. This was pretty much a cut & paste job from Tom's file. - Finished the section on how to manually calculate word scores. Used my own example(s), rather than Tom's. - Added a link to my e-mail address at the top of the page. When this eventually gets hosted here (hehe), either it will remain the same or be changed to Tom's... up to him, though I'd still be listed as the primary author ;-) - In addition to the "7-letter start", I added a pic and paragraph about the rarer "reverse 7-letter start". - Added a section on the 4-letter DWS/TLS set. - Added a section on the 8-letter TWS/TWS set (the 4 "trips"). - Also added a section about the four DLS squares that are pivotal to the game. And yes, there is a paragraph about why certain people (ahem) say "Z on the DLS" and such... There's no way I'd leave that part out! :-) So, I think a decent amount of it (70 percent?) is done. Coming shortly, I will probably add a general tips section. Things like "Don't play any S tiles unless....". Also, I'll add some sort of guide to what's considered a bad game, a decent game, a better-than-average game, and a truly awesome game. Your thoughts on this, score-wise, might be helpful, though I may not agree with you... hehe. Even though I'm the guy who's writing it, I must say it looks very nice and professional. Plus, since it's a guide to expert games, there's a slight haughty attitude throughout the whole thing. :-) Any additional comments, especially from Tom, would be appreciated. Thanks!! -= Mike =- |
