Seems cool.

Stingray · « **Reply #1 on:** September 29, 2005, 03:54:28 pm »

Zany. Okay, who wants to play?

-S

ChadTower · « **Reply #2 on:** September 29, 2005, 03:56:50 pm »

Setting up a game. Players will be notified via email.

ChadTower · « **Reply #3 on:** September 29, 2005, 04:15:44 pm »

Set up a game for me, Stingray, and Seph. Emails are via the emails listed in BYOAC account profiles.

Stingray · « **Reply #4 on:** September 29, 2005, 04:35:44 pm »

Okay, I think I did it right. Should be Seph's turn now. Can non-players view the board?

-S

ChadTower · « **Reply #5 on:** September 29, 2005, 04:39:11 pm »

Don't know, here's the link

ChadTower · « **Reply #6 on:** September 29, 2005, 04:40:13 pm »

Of course, seph isn't around. Setting up a two player.

Stingray · « **Reply #7 on:** September 29, 2005, 04:41:54 pm »

I'll be leaving in about 20 minutes, but I have no problem with playing two games anyway.

ChadTower · « **Reply #8 on:** September 29, 2005, 04:43:00 pm »

Two player action

Stingray · « **Reply #9 on:** September 29, 2005, 04:45:30 pm »

Your go.

Hmm...it seems like it would be hard to keep a person from firing up www.dictionary.com in another tab.

ChadTower · « **Reply #11 on:** September 29, 2005, 04:50:02 pm »

Why would you? There is a dictionary right on the board page.

Stingray · « **Reply #12 on:** September 29, 2005, 04:57:37 pm »

For that matter there's a dictionary on my desk.

-S

ChadTower · « **Reply #13 on:** September 29, 2005, 04:58:10 pm »

Ah, I don't have a dictionary I can browse. No biggie.

Stingray · « **Reply #14 on:** September 29, 2005, 04:59:36 pm »

I just managed to accidently drop an X on a triple letter score.

I'm outa here in five, so the game may have to continue in the AM.

-S

ChadTower · « **Reply #15 on:** September 29, 2005, 05:01:20 pm »

I figured as much, but it's something.

Stingray · « **Reply #16 on:** September 29, 2005, 05:04:15 pm »

Got one more word in. I'll be back in around 7:30 CDT

-S

shmokes · « **Reply #17 on:** September 29, 2005, 05:12:16 pm »

Is the challenge compenent missing in the game? I mean, it's all about strategy -- having a large vocabulary is definitely not the most important skill in Scrabble, but it can certainly work to your advantage in a big way to have someone challenge an obscure, but real, word once or twice in a game to give you extra turns.

ChadTower · « **Reply #18 on:** September 29, 2005, 05:16:53 pm »

It says you can challenge, but with the dictionary right there, it's kind of moot.

DarkKobold · « **Reply #19 on:** September 29, 2005, 08:47:53 pm »

Lol

Polycox is a word.

Yesterday I polycoxed in my pants. It was embarassing.

Stingray · « **Reply #20 on:** September 30, 2005, 08:53:55 am »

Your turn. Has Seph dropped out of the other game? I expected to see that he had played while I was gone.

-S

Bones · « **Reply #21 on:** September 30, 2005, 08:56:19 am »

Seph told me he has the letters to spell archstole.

Sephroth57 · « **Reply #22 on:** September 30, 2005, 09:11:50 am »

lol i had no idea i was involved in this, what do i do? lol

Sephroth57 · « **Reply #23 on:** September 30, 2005, 09:16:16 am »

oh ok my old email is listed there, i played my turn

you know, it would be cooler to play literati in real time on yahoo games

ChadTower · « **Reply #24 on:** September 30, 2005, 10:41:47 am »

I don't know literati.

Sephroth57 · « **Reply #25 on:** September 30, 2005, 11:04:51 am »

literati is scrabble, they just cant call it that for copyright infringement, heh

ChadTower · « **Reply #26 on:** September 30, 2005, 11:06:37 am »

What's wrong with the one we're using?

Sephroth57 · « **Reply #27 on:** September 30, 2005, 11:09:09 am »

well in that one, we play in realtime. its a java or flash type deal, no waitin for emails to go back and forth

ClubNinja · « **Reply #28 on:** September 30, 2005, 11:15:03 am »

I much prefer this back and forth email approach. It's like chess by mail and allows me to play my turn when I'm ready, without having to dedicate a vast amount of time to a full game at once.

ChadTower · « **Reply #29 on:** September 30, 2005, 11:23:55 am »

Yep, in a real office, can't sit there and play a java game. This one was chosen because we can play when we have the chance.

Stingray · « **Reply #30 on:** September 30, 2005, 12:08:34 pm »

I like this one too. If I were at home real time would be great, but as it is, my turn could be delayed for a half hour or even longer if something comes up.

And we're waiting for Seph to play again. This game could take the rest of the year at this rate.

ChadTower · « **Reply #31 on:** September 30, 2005, 12:10:38 pm »

Dude...

teuqrap?

ChadTower · « **Reply #32 on:** September 30, 2005, 12:12:11 pm »

Parquet!

Dammit.

Stingray · « **Reply #33 on:** September 30, 2005, 12:17:19 pm »

Why did that word get removed from the board? Backwards is okay right?

Edit: just got the challenge notice. What happens now?

-S

Sephroth57 · « **Reply #34 on:** September 30, 2005, 12:19:01 pm »

muhahaha , PLIM !

My bad... try putting it back.

Stingray · « **Reply #36 on:** September 30, 2005, 12:22:54 pm »

Says I can't play because it's your turn. I think I saw a link to skip a turn. Provided there's no penalty to do that you can skip and we'll be back where we were before I took a teuqrap all over the board.

-S

ChadTower · « **Reply #37 on:** September 30, 2005, 12:36:49 pm »

Took my turn before I saw that, but I can skip my next turn to balance it.

Sephroth57 · « **Reply #38 on:** September 30, 2005, 12:37:34 pm »

im confused, lol

Stingray · « **Reply #39 on:** September 30, 2005, 12:39:43 pm »

This is the two player game that Chad and I are playing, not the three player game that you're playing with us. No problems in that one, Chad just got a little itchy on the challenge trigger finger.
