i'm quite proud of that. simple.

I play online Scrabble through Facebook. Anyone want to play an ongoing ilx game?

I am heather nijoli robinson on FB and youc an find scrabble here: http://apps.facebook.com/ea_scrabble_closed/?ref=ts

Please don't revive threads pertaining to Scrabble--I've been off the Internet Scrabble Club for three weeks. You just popped open a beer in front of an alcoholic.

haha!

(looks back semi-fondly on my isc.ro days)

Second person arrives on the scene with a six-pack. (Just kidding--it's all up to me.)

I'll play! and with anyone else who dares, as well.

Clemenza, look away --

::SPOILER::

Just started games with Nijoli and Crüt!

::SPOILER::

Haw.

I am now playing games with Crut and WmC.

I am starting a game with the two of you together.

ALSO, I started a game with Trayce, Ian and Laurel but Ian has yet to join it.

hmm, i don't see the invitation? i play facebook scrabs with pete & ade.

i feel dissed that i have not been invited to this ilx scrabble game

it is limited to just three invites per game. i will start a new one with you and two others...

ian - it is there. it says "awaiting players" but me, laurel and trayce have all come to the game.

I started a new one with me, sarahel and ian j

ooh. and curtis had started one with me, sarah, ian and himself. so much scrabble going on!

Thats weird, I hadnt accepted/added your request til just now, did it say I had? I didnt even have the Scrabble app installed lol :)

Gone: "boob."

I thought at first they were trying to grapple with a serious issue. They're not--they're eliminating anything and everything that someone might object to so they don't have to grapple with it. (Who except a nine-year old boy would find prurient meaning in "boob"?)

Gone: "hornier."

You can still look for an open 't' and "thornier."

As I do every few years, went back to isc.ro for a month. One of the accounts I started two years ago was still active. Started out just above 1300, went up and down and dropped below 1200 at one point, slowly got back above 1300 and I think that's enough. (You get two ratings now: one for games of 4 minutes or longer, and a "blitz" rating for 3 minutes or less. There are a whole bunch of people who play 1-minute games now. I tried a few--insane.) Even at this level, I always felt overmatched. I regularly lost games where I had a big lead and then the other player dropped a bingo and other big plays right near the end. And you knew it was coming. They're like vultures; it's like they don't even want to win unless they come back from 100 points down. And the bingos...lost one game on "shylocks." (Yes: the other end of the spectrum from Pogo when it comes to offensive language.) Being a sore loser, I never responded when someone who'd just trounced me gave me a "good game." I hate that stuff.

"Sequoias" on a triple-triple for 203 points (625 for the game).

Oops--maybe a mod can remove that url.

Someone sent this to me today--amazing and hilarious.

lol pretty good. when i was about 12 i worked out that 'xylopyrographic' if played over three triples would get you over 1000 points but didn't get so many extra points from extending existing words - and xylopyrographic isn't in the official scrabble dictionary.

(though xylopyrography is)

looking 4 scrabble opponents!

Are you on isc.ro?

no, i should be tho - that's what my homey [REDACTED] plays on mostly. i use the dumb scrabble phone app.

Too bad...can't help you there.

PATRONNE or gtfo

Steve - there was nothing on the board, it was my opening rack!

i can't think of a valid bingo for PANTONE but maybe you can.

negative.

i'm a negative creep, and i'm stoned.

disappointed also to learn that MANEATER is not valid. cuz of woke. (cuz of hyphenated tbh)

my man

This could be my highest scoring play ever: "quibbler" across a triple-triple for 239 points (189 + 50). Last play of the game...I was helped by this Pogo rule that allows you to take a blank off the board if you have the matching letter on your rack; that gave me the second 'b.' So a little tainted.

Scrolled back, and not my highest: "executed" for 262. Feels like "quibbler" should be higher.
