Block  said about 2 years ago:

Who is this ''rosie'', and what is she doing next weekend?


outerspacextrapnel  said about 2 years ago:

Looks like you'll be out first round inactivist.


louis  said about 2 years ago:

is there anything in the rules about performance enhancing drugs?

if i'm playing anytime soon it's going to be powered by large doses of paracetamol and antihistamines.


Inactivist  said about 2 years ago:

Looks like you are correct, oxtrap.


LoadMyRig  said about 2 years ago:

nipps: i rather fancy waiting until after the easter long weekend for ours, if that's cool?


rosie  said about 2 years ago:

Who is this ''rosie'', and what is she doing next weekend?

ha, i'm just some chick with a nasty scrabs habit. could do a dinks match at the old bar next fri arvo if that suits...


outerspacextrapnel  said about 2 years ago:

Can I get an adjudicator for tomorrow (Saturday).

At the old Bar between me and astrousers. 5 onwards.

Any takers?


outerspacextrapnel  said about 2 years ago:

We need an adjudicator.

At 5:00 today.

Any takers?


LoadMyRig  said about 2 years ago:

hi outerspace.

i definitely can't make it this arvy and a lot of people are away this weekend.

wanna leave it for a week?


outerspacextrapnel  said about 2 years ago:

So, I was trounced by astrousersasmind on Saturday night by over a hundred points.

I could complain about the bad letters, but that would be churlish. A new scrabble champ in the wings. The most polite chat I've ever met too.

Thanks to nabila for adjudicating too.

fdsfds

dfsdfs

sdfsdf

Gracious in defeat and victory.


astrousersasmind  said about 2 years ago:

Great game outerspace! Thank you for your kind words. I doubt there will be a more gracious a and polite player this tournament.
Hope you liked Steve Coogan too!


LoadMyRig  said about 2 years ago:

LoadMyRig  said about 2 years ago:

oh man.

i was hoping that you'd get abused by parents again.


kuroneko  said about 1 year ago:

Plenty of opportunities for that.


fishandfingerpie  said about 1 year ago:

Little shits.


LoadMyRig  said about 1 year ago:

good timing fishandfingerpie.

my thoughts have also been turning to this lately and i it's about time we started the 2010 comp.

i need to check if nony is still keen to run the sydders comp this year. i know the attempts to wrap up the last sydney comp almost divested him of the will to live.


Mrmusic  said about 1 year ago:

Hmmm. What about Hillsong? Is he still in Brisbane? Maybe he should be super champion and you have to win the comp to face him in the championship of the universe.


hillsonghoods  said about 1 year ago:

I'm still in Queensland, yes, so I am out of contention. I only win every second year thus far, and this isn't my winning year.


Mrmusic  said about 1 year ago:

If nony is not interested I would adjudicate begrudgingly, but I'm a poor organiser and I'd probably spend the money on magic gum.


flobs  said about 1 year ago:

We can have our own Brisbane tourny, hillsong!


hillsonghoods  said about 1 year ago:

I'm up for that flobs!


Actionralf  said about 1 year ago:

I would enter the melbourne comp this year but my words would mostly consist of ''Tit'' ''tits'' ''boob'' and any other single syllable words...unless ''Titmouse'' was eligible...


~NipplesAhoy~  said about 1 year ago:

You sound like my ideal opponent Actionralf! We are clearly at the same level...

I am afraid that if I enter the Melbourne comp I will get Loady in the first round for the (third?) time!!


gusseting  said about 1 year ago:

can someone provide a recap of the rules and regs and whatnot of the game for those considering joining? do you need to have a scrabble board to bring along, or are they provided? i think a warm up game might be necessary on monday night - block?


hillsonghoods  said about 1 year ago:

gusseting: usually, one of the players has to bring a scrabble board and a dictionary, or at least organise one (often more than one game is played at once, so you may be able to borrow the board/dictionary of another). the rules are the official scrabble rules. tile bonuses can only be used once. if you challenge a word, if you're right they lose their turn and take their tiles back, if you're wrong, the word stays and you lose your turn. etc.

Maybe we could rig it so we get to play each other first round?


fishandfingerpie  said about 1 year ago:

alright, i'm in again. i'm hoping to go one better than the second round this year.


astrousersasmind  said about 1 year ago:

I'm in! Need to do something indoors to beat this winter chill and I can think of few things better than Scrabble.


happycow  said about 1 year ago:

I want in.

Anyone use ''Words With Friends'' for iphone? Add username ''hullcrushdepth'' for a game.

I got into a pretty serious argument with someone last Saturday night who was trying to justify using an online scrabble cheater website. It almost came to blows.

Now I suspect a good friend of mine is using one in online games. I confronted him in the Words With Friends chat window but I'm yet to play a move in reply to his last one so he may read it here first. If you are cheating, friend, come clean now and our friendship can be saved!

Cheating in online scrabble is simply NOT ON and I won't tolerate it.


LoadMyRig  said about 1 year ago:

hi everyone

i'm moving to brisbane in a couple of weeks, so i'm not going to be available to run the melbs comp any more.

also, i spoke to nony recently and he is over running the sydney comp.

so if two enterprising chats want to to take the comp over, well you are all due for the 2010 championship season to commence.


outerspacextrapnel  said about 1 year ago:

Good timing with the posts Loadie.


LoadMyRig  said about 1 year ago:

haha see my response to your thread ;P
