I could have come last night but the decision was made too late. :( MORE NOTICE, PLS.

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 14 September 2006 13:22 (nineteen years ago)

next time... no one really contributed to planning, so in cases like that it's safe to assume we'll be somewhere in the graham area

― fellini-esque-lit-rockist (tehresa), Thursday, 14 September 2006 13:33 (nineteen years ago)

xpost yeah we weren't very organized about that. more concrete plans next time... next week maybe?

S.Fatsis writes:
On Oct. 12, in the basement of a Unitarian church on the town green in Lexington, Mass., a carpenter named Michael Cresta scored 830 points in a game of Scrabble. His opponent, Wayne Yorra, who works at a supermarket deli counter, totaled 490 points. The two men set three records for sanctioned Scrabble in North America: the most points in a game by one player (830), the most total points in a game (1,320), and the most points on a single turn (365, for Cresta's play of QUIXOTRY).

― Möbius dick (╓abies), Friday, 12 February 2010 03:38 (sixteen years ago)

― Lamp, Friday, 12 February 2010 03:38 (sixteen years ago)

I took a scrabble class in college (it was a one unit class) and ever since then I basically own everybody

― iatee, Friday, 12 February 2010 03:40 (sixteen years ago)

i am playing my first game in ages right now and i keep getting all 1-point tiles which don't really let me do anything to get points on special letter or word score squares.

― DJ NAIR (tehresa), Friday, 12 February 2010 03:41 (sixteen years ago)

ya but they let you get bingos, which is even better

― iatee, Friday, 12 February 2010 03:42 (sixteen years ago)

I always wind up with nothing but consonants.

― Möbius dick (╓abies), Friday, 12 February 2010 03:43 (sixteen years ago)

scrabble is all about
a. knowing the weird two letter words
b. being patient enough to work towards a bingo

― iatee, Friday, 12 February 2010 03:44 (sixteen years ago)

man, reading thread makes me want to play boggle!

― DJ NAIR (tehresa), Friday, 12 February 2010 03:57 (sixteen years ago)

poor man's scrabble imo

― iatee, Friday, 12 February 2010 03:59 (sixteen years ago)

it requires quicker intelligence/vocabulary recall?

i think we played at prefap (before sefap) and curtis kicked our asses, but it was my first time in ages.

― DJ NAIR (tehresa), Friday, 12 February 2010 04:03 (sixteen years ago)

boggle requires a different kind of thinking than scrabble does, they don't really compare all that well, except for the fact they are both word games.

― sarahel, Friday, 12 February 2010 04:04 (sixteen years ago)

boggle doesn't require any strategy

― iatee, Friday, 12 February 2010 04:05 (sixteen years ago)

mb boogle strategy just happens on a lvl u havent got 2 yet...

― Lamp, Friday, 12 February 2010 04:06 (sixteen years ago)

otm
there are certain techniques you can use to get more points...obv diff than scrabble strategizing

― DJ NAIR (tehresa), Friday, 12 February 2010 04:07 (sixteen years ago)

is there like a superboogle or something I'm not aware of

― iatee, Friday, 12 February 2010 04:07 (sixteen years ago)

wait there is

― iatee, Friday, 12 February 2010 04:08 (sixteen years ago)

and I think I was aware of it

― iatee, Friday, 12 February 2010 04:08 (sixteen years ago)

i just started a game with samadhi (62 points)

― DJ NAIR (tehresa), Friday, 12 February 2010 04:10 (sixteen years ago)

sarahel is a formidable scrabble opponent imo.
