In the real Scrabble Game, I thought you could only use a word that always started with an Upper case, like Proper Names ( Garry, Chad, Arkansas, etc). This makes the game a little more difficult. Are you guys allowing proper names?

Don't all proper nouns start with a capital?

Actually, re-reading what I posted, I meant to say you could NOT use a Proper Noun in the official scrabble rules. And Stingray, yes, I believe you are correct...

Sure, the loser of each game wins a swift kick in the ass.

How would you like your percentage?  Steel toe or punter?
