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.

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.

― Linda and Jodie Rocco (map), Sunday, 27 June 2021 21:48 (two years ago) link
That would always be my overriding guide: if these words still offend, then sure, take them out. I hear people say "stop bitching" all the time, but if it's a legitimate problem, fine.
― clemenza, Sunday, 27 June 2021 21:51 (two years ago) link
Happy to report that "vibrator" is still okay.
― clemenza, Sunday, 27 June 2021 22:45 (two years ago) link
Gone: "horniest."
― clemenza, Wednesday, 30 June 2021 01:43 (two years ago) link
And if you can figure out the logic that says "horniest" is offensive and "vibrator" isn't, you're way ahead of me.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 30 June 2021 01:46 (two years ago) link
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"?)
― clemenza, Saturday, 3 July 2021 22:07 (two years ago) link
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).

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)

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

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.
