Are you tired of being attacked for making a "bad" play in Scribble?

Do you find that your games are ended because you didn't play a 7 letter word or used a premium?

Did you place a word and by accident mess up a triple, only to then be called names in chat?

Are you picked on and made fun of just because of your nick and inexperience at the game?

Is Scribble no longer fun when this happens on a regular basis?

If any or all of this applies to you, it's here...

The Solution to Scribble!

Never before has there been such a ludicrous idea. It will be ripped to shreds, sure. That's a given.  But, if, and this is a big IF, if it's given a chance, this could solve your Scribble problems and mine!

Here are some suggestions to follow for "The Scribble Solution" to work:

1. Do not, I repeat, do not play in games 15 and 16.  You will reduce being called "this" and "that" by at least 80%. Other advantages can be discovered later if one adheres to this suggestion.

2. Play in games 1-14 and embrace the obstacles. Yes, embrace the mess-ups, the "u's" being used up, the premium tiles wasted and no s's. THIS is what makes the game fun and cooperative.

3. Play in games 1-14 and overcome the obstacles.  Yes, you can make the best of a game that seems to be a "lost cause." Dig deep and come up with creative ways to get the most points from boards with words everywhere and with messed up set-ups. THIS is another example of what makes the game fun and cooperative.  

4. Finish each game. I see too many games abandoned because of the "lost cause" and "waste of my time" syndrome. Games like these are gems.  One can learn things from games which may not score high scores. A finished game is one to be proud of too.

5. Finally, as if this hasn't been said enough, be kind to fellow 1-14 gamers. Help fellow gamers out with complimentary and welcoming comments rather than sarcastic and insulting statements. It makes for a nice game and heck, being nice doesn't hurt.

Ok, I've said what I needed to say at 1:39am. I enjoy this game a lot.

Until we meet again or "no more words are possible":

United we Scribble.

Divided we scream.
