No more scrabble after midnight for me. I thought something looked fishy but was too sleepy to be able to figure it out.

well

HYPE 12 points
ABORIGINE24 points

pretty bad turn, but I get to keep the legendary QJ I just can't get rid off this game.

Oh yeah, I forgot it was my turn now. I'll get on that in a minute.

EDIT: Alright, I laid down ZAMARRO (36) and ZEE (22) for a total of 58 points. Not too shabby for a hasty turn. I was sorely tempted to lay down ZERG, but Nutty would've just removed it for being illegal.

Alright, here goes:

BUCKLERED + ED - 47 points
FORGONE - 22 points

BINGO + 50 points. Gives me a total of 119 for this round. Not the greatest, but board real estate is getting kinda low.

No more juicy 3x3 tiles, and the last remaining 3x tile won't give me a bingo. I spent an hour looking at good places, and I think enough's enough for an online game nobody's gonna remember in a few days :p

So here goes:

Rack: FTIRNELSETELCY

I put FELTS next to the O in zamarro, forming OF and FLEES for 14 points.
I then attach the rest of my tiles on the L in felts, forming RETICENTLY for 46 points.
Bonus for my first and only bingo of this game: 50 points.

Points gained this round: 110
Total points: 863

No hope in winning, but I at least wanted to keep my Bingo streak up.

I played ACTINOLITE off of VESPERTINE for 12 points, and BUSKED off of DIAZONIUMS for 16 points. With the Bingo, that gives me 78 points for this turn, and 681 in total.

I'm pretty sure Zerg has this one in the bag, as I wasn't able to make a bingo.

COMPLECTED, x2 O, x3 D, x2 Word = 40
JENNY, x3 J, x2 Word = 60

Total = 100. Not bad, but still widening his lead.

I've replenished everyone's tiles. We're down to what may be the final round. Everyone has a full tile set, but there are only 39 tiles remaining. We'll play through this next round (I won't replenish any tiles) and we'll see where we stand after that. If the game is still close enough to be won by 5 tiles a person, then we'll go for the final final round, otherwise, this is it.

as i was looking at a few places i can go, but the score counter appears to be messed up - it's not counting the fourth letter of the top word. Looks like the formula got accidentally deleted at some point and despite my basic understanding of programming I don't want to fiddle with things i'm not sure about. Hopefully Zerg understands his own code and can fix that for us.




since i used to play far too much scrabble, i'll just count in my head.

RIBIER is worth 27
WAVY and its affiliates are worth 24

total of 51 (and it counts this time! i checked and everything!)

Someone changed instances of "Cs" to nothing, and formulas in some cells were missing.

Dunno what happened, but it's fixed now. Hawkeye scored it correctly.

You know, I never even knew this thing existed. I've been calculating my score by hand this whole time, and now I feel dumb. :(

Naw, maybe it's a good strategy if you don't trust spreadsheets formulated by your nemesis!

I keep my trusty TI-86 next to my computer, so I've never actually tried your score calculator. Your nefarious tricks won't work on me!

Are you sure? I seem to vaguely recall some of the words you formed on that score spreadsheet :3:

Fairly certain considering I don't even know where the link to it is.

Upon opening the link to edit the spreadsheet, you will see a bar at the bottom of the screen (just as in Excel), where you can Add a sheet, or navigate between the Game Board or Score computator.

Epic :TriRock: fail

That's most likely because I use it to check all scores. It's been around since the second game, I think; how have you people missed it?

Anyway, it's been 24 hours, and I'll take my turn sometime after breakfast. If Dullenplain recovers from his drunken chat stupor before then, all the better.

Okay, I've recovered enough to play:

TIRE from the T in BEQUEATHING, for 6 points (3L on R).

and

from the E in TIRE I put down EQUIPOISE, for 21 points (2L on O), finally getting rid of the Q.

And that should give me 27 points to eke out of the letters.

A F and O are left.

I made CHARGE off of HYPE for 42 points, leaving only one 3x word left on the board (and not much room to get a decent score off of it).

Then I made BANDS, which also formed ABORIGINES, for 16 and 13 points, respectively.

71 points at this late juncture isn't bad, but it isn't nearly enough to shift my place in the standings.

I play JIBE[R] for 16 points

SEMISOLID 22 points

total for the turn 38 and Q is left for my tiles.

I laid down TONIC and KATS for 16 points each. Do the math dance and it comes out to 32 points total. Thank YOU multiplication tables!

It's been 24 hours, so Zergrinch may move.

Oh shit, I thought that Tritoch's move was at 12 NOON. I'll make my go momentarily.

Okay, first move is SHEQEL + GULAGS for 44 points.
Aaaand... ROOKY for 24 points.

Not the greatest, but again, real estate is pretty bad at this point. Total for this round is 68, and I have AAETT left over.

Current Rack: EWIBOSDAIOLCUM

First word: Malicious, next to the last E in endoparasite, forming EM and MALICIOUS for a paltry 16 points.
Second word: Bowed, around the L in LALL, forming BOWLED for a less paltry 26 points.
Bingo Bonus: 50 points.

Total points this round: 92. Game total: 955.

Guess I'm not going to be able to breach the 1,000-point barrier that seems to exist in GFF Megascrabble.

There remains a 2w+2w tile up for grabs. Here's hoping Araes can't get to it :3:

Eh, lack of time (I got two finals I need to work on) and lack of space has lead to the end of my Bingo streak.

Played TENIAE off of OUTGUIDING for 6 points, and COOEY off of VELOCE for 20 points. That gives me 26 points in total for this round, and 708 in total, keeping me in 4th place.
