Too many vowels :(

First move: building near DETERGENT

TIME - 15 (triple word score)

ET - 2
TI - 2
EM - 6 (triple word score)
RE - 1 (R was an existing blank)

26 points

Now I play the word JOKER (24)

Time to make my moves.

JOURNEY: 24
JOBS: 26

POINTS: 50
SCORE: 136

uggghhhhh

Second move:

WOOING - 20 (double word score)

letters remaining - a whole bunch of vowels

Couldn't really come up with anything astounding with all the same vowels. I laid down ZARF (32) and BOWMAN (28) for a total of 60 points.

Sorry, no bingo, since you only used 13 letters; you had an A left.

New letters are up for the day. By and large, I think people will be pleased, with a few exceptions.

With a few exceptions alright. :(

If Face bingoes today, I shall eat my hat

I had pretty much given up on it, but this new stake is quite motivating.

Give it up Frenchman. You shall never bingo with that shitty tileset.

'fraid you're right. :(

HANGOVER (60)

[H]UZZAH (26)
OH (5)

60 + 26 + 5 = 91. Letters left: T, T, T.

QUIRKIER - 21

HEROIN - 9

Letters reamaing W :(

Ok I got 2 words in (thanks to a few to many games of Scrabble, coffee, and bordom)

UXORIAL (30) double word score and double letter [A]
YEELIN (11) Triple letter score


I think thats all my letters.


ps:I lost a game of scrabble once because of these words. Tho thats pretty much the only thing I remember about that game. :P

I made NOW/NU/OX/WO off of UXORIAL for 37 points, and RAINY/NA/TI off of DETERGENT for 34 points. I'll calculate the other scores for the day after lunch.

Darn I had more letters? :( Dose them 2 words I used B4 considered both my turns or just one? Because I can get the rest of my letters out of the way right now if I could

Those were clearly 2 turns, since you made words on opposite sides of the board. You've got no moves left today.

sinister 9 points
clon 12 points
on 2 points

total 23 points

tiles left RAIU, haven't been so good at the tiles left thing so yeah that's what I guess I have left.

HOPPINGS (32)

FOX(26)
AX(18)

Total = 76

First move of today: Buiding off of the N in HEROIN

REPENTANCE - 34 (triple letter score on an E, double letter score on another E, double word score)

Remaining letters: A-U-A-Y-W

I played INTEGRAL (36) and WEND for (32) a total of 68 points today. Also, if it doesn't cost a turn I'd like to swap one of my Us.

Swapping does cost you a turn :(

Second turn: building off of OUTWEIGHED

AH - 5
AW - 13 (triple letter score on W)
WE - 13 (triple letter score on W)

Total move: 31 points

Letters are up for today. No vowels for me (I'll probably trade in some tiles later so I can actually make a word), and Juanzen's draw was pretty rough as well.

It looks like the last day of the game will be Monday, based on the number of tiles left. How would you guys prefer to end it?

Option 1: Same as Game 1; everyone gets unlimited turns to use up their remaining letters
Option 2: Players only get 2 turns (someone's bound to use up all their tiles)

Also, any changes you'd like to see for future games?

I like option 2 better.

Anyway. Today's bingo was not easily found, but seems to work.

MATELOTS (36)
JOINTED (32)
MA (6)
Bingo (50)

36+32+6+50 = 124

EDIT: forgot AL (2). The actual score is 126.

I kinda like the Literati rule of penalising players for leftover tiles, and distributing those points to the player who used them all up.
