GFF MegaScrabble - Game 1
ZERGRINCH WINS
Each day lasts 24 hours. I’ll keep this thread updated with the latest scores, and at 10am every day I’ll post everyone’s new tiles to bring their total back up to 14. If I’ve forgotten to say something, I’ll update this post later. Rules, updated slightly:
Please post in the thread whenever you lay down a word. Please state the word(s) you made, and what your total score for the move is. I’ll be checking the scores myself as well. It should go without saying, but please don’t deface the Scrabble board; just put down your letters and leave everything else alone. Game board for spectators – I think this is set to automatically update when changes are made. Link for players to edit the game board Letter values:
LETTERS:
Tiles remaining: 0 Scores (in order as of the beginning of the day): 1. Zergrinch: 992 2. Summonmaster: 554 2. nuttyturnip: 554 3. Tritoch: 548 4. RockgamerXIII: 543 5. Smelnick: 502 6. Yeldarb: 376 7. Domino: 271 8. Grawl: 144 9. Guru: 35 Detailed score info here |
Ok, I began with the words 'drove' and 'foes'.
|
It's not noon yet, so it doesn't count. Sorry, have to be a stickler, because Zergrinch wanted me to start earlier. If you want to go back and put them in now, be my guest. Also, please use capital letters.
|
Added SORTIE and TEND to the board. I'll work out my points later.
EDIT: I think my points work out at 20 |

|
I'm going to post VIDEO and DRAIN(with my blank).
ANOTHER EDIT: I made a mistake. My score now is 24. Tiles Left: E, E, O, O, H |
Quote:
|
I played SKATER and picked up Yeldarb's Blank (which he didn't mention in the thread). I get 50 points (VIDEOS + SKATER), and I'll take my other turn later.
|
I'm laying down TABLE and then using my blank to make BOOZE. Score total
|
I picked up Tritoch's "E" blank, and layed it as an "R" in BOOZER and ROOF. My total score for the move is 28 points.
|
I'd like to point out that I hate you, Nutty.

Additional Spam: I'm wondering now though, shouldn't we let people just use their 2 turns in one go? There's no way in hell we can keep it this 'smooth' in a week, I'm sure. Plus people with different timezones would be able to 'cheat' while others tend to 'sleep'. Just my 'two cents'. |
Alright, So I layed down a B, an E and T to form BEET using the e in boozer, and the T also formed TO with the first O in roof. For a total of 16 points. and then for the second turn I formed TOKEN with the TO and that gave me another 20 points. so the grand total would be 36 I believe. If someone could check my math please. Hopefully I did this correctly.
|
I only get 25 points when I tally your moves, Smelnick. 12 for BEET, 2 for TO, and 11 for TOKEN.
|
oh thats right. point bonuses only work once
|
Quote:
One reason I gave people 2 turns is so that they could be more involved and have more they can do. Admittedly, I'm bored during work, so most likely I'll have ample opportunity to keep up with the board from 12-4:30 my time, but I'm not much of a strategist. Both moves I made it was less that I was waiting to pounce, and more that I figured I ought to lay something down before I forgot, and just figured out what my best move was. |
Yah. I'm basically on when I get home from work. And then randomly throughout the night
|
Quote:
|
Hoh yeah, I believe I am in third place for now...
DRAGOON nets me 12 points, and VOX nets me 29 points due to the X on triple letter ^^ Total: 41 Tiles Left: R-R-J-L-U-M |
That's still one point behind me, Masta S. I'm afraid your skillz were unable to pay the billz.
|
:( Two, I thought. Evidently the S does not stand for skills :3
Here's hoping for even more exotic letters next draw! |
First move is "TOED" on DRAGOONS
TOED (7) DO (3) RE (4) AD (3) Second move is "BONDS" on TOED BONDS (30) TO (6) DON (4) RED (4) ADS (6) Total Score is 61. Letters remaining: K N I L L |
Okay, let's see if I'm doing this right:
I played VITTLE off of VIDEOS for 18 points (9 points times two for Double Word Score). And then I played REF off of VITTLE for 14 points (2 points, plus 4 points times three for Triple Letter Score). Total Score: 32 Tiles Left: N-Q-N-M-N-V-R |
I like how the official Scrabble word list has VITTLE listed, but doesn't have its meaning. :tpg:
Also, allow me to sympathize with RockgamerXIII for his shitty luck of the draw. I suggest that in future games, everyone starts with a blank tile. |
Quote:
As for everyone getting blanks, I don't think so. By and large, most folks got tons of vowels, and in real Scrabble you're bound to get stuck with lousy draws; it's just part of the game. Even so, I'm waiting for the improbable but not impossible move of someone gaining 14 blanks and laying them all down at once. Does anyone have any objections of moving the start of the day back to 10am tomorrow? Looks like Guru is the only person left today. |
Nah, it's just a bastardization of "victual"! :p No objection to moving the start back. But maybe we should give Guru a grace period.
|
I wasn't going to move it back today; tomorrow would be when we go back to 10am.
Edit: Also, your score is screwy, Zergrinch. The numbers you posted add up to 67, not 61, but when I calculate your score, I get 63 (I think you counted the S in BONDS as a triple letter instead of a double letter). |
Haha, split the difference.
Yarr, that's what I get for using a spreadsheet to compute scores! [07] TOED = 1 + 1 + (3*1) + 2 [03] DO = 2 + 1 [04] RE = 1 + (3*1) [03] AD = 1 + 2 [17] Turn 1 = 7 + 3 + 4 + 3 [27] BONDS = (3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + [1*2]) * 3 [06] TO = (1 + 1) * 3 [04] DON = 2 + 1 + 1 [04] RED = 1 + 1 + 2 [05] ADS = 1 + 2 + (1*2) [46] Turn 2 = 27 + 6 + 4 + 4 + 5 [63] Total Score = 17 + 46 Additional Spam: Also nutty, I included a monitoring spreadsheet at http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?k...VHaflLdQ&gid=1 |
That's a nice spreadsheet (as usual), but I'll stick with just updating the first post. I'm hoping to attract future players from the spectators of this game, and as this is a GFF event after all, I don't want to shift all the game elements offsite.
I've updated everyone's letters in anticipation of the approaching new day in 1/2 hour. Domino got a U to go with his Q, and poor RockgamerXIII didn't get much help (though his last 7 letters spell RKSTEIN, which almost abbreviates his country from the last Risk. That's just awesome). Also, I created a Wiki page for MegaScrabble. |
Added a few more words
QUEEN NOVA RAZE ME I'll work out scores later |
I put down VINED, attaching the D to sortie.
18 - VINED 2 - IN 6 - DE 8 - SORTIED My calculations tell me this move is worth 34 points. Also Domino, I think we're limited to 2 moves. |
Quote:
|
BEET => BEETLE
also creating LO and EF (they exist according to the database) and I create WAR |
Quote:
EDIT: OK, I've taken out RAZE and ME. QUEEN = 28 NOVA = 6 Total = 34 Scores are correct, I think. |
I put down ROVE.
And with double word I get 14 points. |
I put down WORDED, which also creates RE and VITTLED (which is on the list) for a total of 41 points. The D in WORDED is a blank.
Either Domino or Zergrinch (I can tell from the edit list) changed the R blank in BOOZER/ROOF from a blank to a letter. Neither of them has a letter R, so I changed it back to a blank. |
Alright. Time to scrabbelize. Took me awhile to get this thought out. I put FERN on the top right where that WOR[]ED is, and that got me 14 points. and I put JOULE onto the E of DROVE to get me 24 points
so 24 + 12 = 38 |
Ok I don't know how to calculate the score when both word and letter bonus tiles are combined. Mostly about whether the Double Letter takes effect before or after the word point total is multiplied, or whether it is ignored. Thus,
QUALM = 30, 32, or 34 points ZOOM = 28, 30, or 32 points Total = ranges from 58-66 points Tiles Left: B-J-M-R-R-T-Y |
Masta S (whoever you are), word multiplers take effect LAST. If you laid down letters on double- or triple-letter tiles, they are included in the multiplication.
Quote:
Anyway, for my last turn, I put down YOKL on ROVE, forming YOKEL. I believe that earns me 32 points. Tiles remaining: NIGGLE |
Quote:
EDIT: Summonmaster, I think you thought that you'd get a double word score for QUALM, but that DWS was used when Domino made QUEEN. Therefore, your total points for both moves is 43. For my second move, I made PEON for 24 points. |
For my second move, I place down HEAP for 18 points.
For 32 points today, and 56 points total. |
Hmm, I have a predicament which leads to a question. Tomorrow (Saturday) I won't be at a computer all day. Probably returning late Sunday too.
Can I take four turns when I return or do I just have to suck it up and skip my two turns tomorrow? |
Alright, I'm sure there are probably better moves I could make, but I'm tired of staring at letters for now.
- Switching the blank in WORDED with a D. - Laying down EFFACE with the blank as a C (26 points). - Making TOKEN into TOKENED (36 points). That adds up to a total of 62 points for today. |
Oh man, I wish I would've noticed topics on this sooner. I'd love to try and get in on the next one of these.
And it looks like Zergrinch has good use of those two letter words. |
Shoot I hadn't realized letters were in this thread, I thought they'd be pm'ed =O
Move 1: Added TURBARIES, puralizing DRAIN (which is now DRAINS). TURBARIES: (1 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1)*2 = 22 DRAINS: (2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1) = 7 29 points. MOVE 2: Added OBOE to TURBARIES. (1 + 3 + 1 + 1)*2 = 12 41 total points for today, letters left: T-O |
Okay, I replaced the blank in BOOZER/ROOF with an R, and I used the blank to play the word REQUEST off of RE for 35 points. Then I played the word MONK off of JOULE for 18 points.
So my total score for today is 53 points (total score 85), and the letters I have left are N-N-V-R-I-N. EDIT: I posted my words before Guru, but I got sidetracked and didn't post in the thread until after he went. |
Quote:
Guru, OBOE is only worth 6 points, because you used the Double Word Score on TURBARIES. EDIT: New tiles are up for today, and scores are updated. We've got 2 more blanks in the mix now, and I've got too many vowels. :( |
I place down ZYGOTE(which is in the listing). Also I take the [] in REQUEST and replace it with my U.
So, (10 + 4 + 2 + (1*3) + 1 + 1)*2 = 42 points. |
BOSON 31011 = 6*2 = 08 WO 41 = 5 = 05 NOVAS 11410 = 7*2 = 14 This move earns 27 points. It seems I can't multiply (but I can add!) Move changed due to tile change. I could have sworn I have NIGGLE left over. Where's my letter I? :x |
Quote:
Also, 6x2 is 12 last time I checked. :) I replaced the blank in EFFACE with a C, and played SMITE, for a total of 36 points. I've got no idea what I'll do for my second turn, since all I've got are vowels and a blank. |
Very well. Since my tiles have changed, I wish to take back my first move.
I still use my blank tile as an [S], and put down BELONGING[S] on HEAP. BELONGINGS 3111121120 = 13 * (2+2) = 52 SH 04 = 4 Turn 1 = 52 + 4 = 56. I put down FORA on the L in BELONGINGS, forming FLORA. FLORA 41111 = 16 * 2 3 Turn 2 = 32. That uses up my entire tile set, giving me a bingo. To summarize: Turn 1: 56 Turn 2: 32 Bingo: 50 Total: 138 |
Since you moved BELONGINGS to be on HEAP instead of ZYGOTE, your score dropped to 138. Kudos for the bingo, though; I'm going to have to take the gloves off and step up my game.
|
Adding GUY onto ZYGOTE and then GAINED onto the G of GUY using my [] as a D. Scores later.

Oh I forgot we're going by Scrabble Days. Thus, for my last 2 turns (does it count as 2 turns used?) of this week (Friday):
- Stealing the blank in GAINED, and replacing it with my D - BY = 15 - []TYMY/STYMY (blank is 'S') = 22 Total: 37 Tiles Left: A-B-J-L-N-N-O-R-R |
Quote:
|
How troublesome of me with all my issues, hehe.
My true final move should be: - JOY off of []TYMY/STYMY = 26 points Tiles Left: A-B-L-N-N-R-R |
I put down OUTROAR for 9 points and ROD for 12 points to make a total of 21 points.
|
I am totally waiting for Mr. Tritoch to spell out the 10-letter nick of a GFF staff member using the current tiles he has :p
|
Thanks for the tip, Zerg! =D
I've layed down ENCEPHALON for a total of 42 points by my calculation. |
I object. ENCEPGELBN is not a valid word :tpg:
|
Don't say that; the Ace Combat nuts might hear you.
|
For now, I'm gonna play OVEN off of Encephalon, which nets me 24 points, plus 2 points for also making the word ON, for a total of 26 points on my first turn. I'll take my second turn later.
|
I place down NONTOXIC for my last move.
For 54 points. |
I made AORTAE (which I assume is the plural of aorta), using my blank as an R, for a whopping 10 points. Stupid vowels.
In case anyone hadn't noticed, 1) I've been putting the blanks and what they are at the top of the board; please update if you take or place a blank, 2) Zergrinch made a handy tool to calculate word scores, which is in a separate tab on the game board. ONLY EDIT THE YELLOW BOXES. Don't be shocked if letters aren't updated promptly at 10am tomorrow or Sunday, since it's the weekend and I'll sleep in if I can. I probably won't be too late though, especially tomorrow. The cat never lets me sleep in. :( |
I layed down YUAN (7) which also formed ZA (11). What do either of those mean? Not a clue, but apparently they're words!
Toss me another 18 points. It isn't much, but at least I'm still in 3rd place. |
Incorrect. You're in fourth place, and Summonmaster has yet to make a move.
|
What are you talking about? I'm two points ahead of Summonmaster and he's used both of his moves today.
|
Okay. I officially hate these gangster names...
|
Okay, first off, I'm taking the blank from AORTAE and I'm switching it with an R. Then, I'm going to play the word ANNOUNCER off of TURBARIES for 32 points.
|
I once again put down WAR and HEIR.
|
New letters for the day are up.
Also, I've removed Tritoch's YUAN/ZA from the board because his remaining letters at the time were YNIUI (as posted in the first post); he didn't have an A. He loses the 18 points he would have gained from the move and forfeits the turn. |
Quote:
Anyhow, I put down ADENOMAT on FLORA, forming ADENOMATA. Score computed as 48 points. I put down YOU on PEON, forming PEONY (10) and YOU (12), total of 22 for the second turn. Letters left over are AEI. Total points for the day is 70. |
Alright, I laid down the word HOUDAH on top of HEIR to get a total of 30 points, and then on the end of that one I laid down THORAX to get 51 points. thus giving me a total of 81 points.
|
I switched out the blank on ANNOUNCER with a C and the blank on BELONGINGS with an S and used them to make the word OVERTRAINED off of GAINED for 45 points.
|
First turn goes to DECK
This leaves '-I-A-O-A-O-O-W-E-A-E-' remaining. I'll use my second turn to exchange A, O, E (one of each) |
Quote:
Quote:
EDIT: I layed down AURA (4 points) and INFORMER (40 points). |
I hereby steal the blank [E] in Overtrained, swapping it for my E.
|
Quote:
|
Laying down EVZONE on the ON of ENCEPHALON and ON.
VOX off the V of EVZONE. EDIT: Which I think adds upto 48 EVZONE = 19 VOX = 29 |
I place down CHIN and DIVINE.
Both give me 52 points. |
Quote:
|
Sorry guys, I kinda fell off the wagon because I had medical woes this weekend. It's pretty much a waste for me to even try to compete now.
|
Alright, I laid down DEFINE (20) and PAVE (17).
|
I played ANY off of Announcer for 14 points.
|
Quote:
EDIT: Ok then, ZAX off the first A of AURA for a point score of 27. |
New tiles are up for the day. Smelnick's stuck with a nasty group of vowels, and Tritoch gets another blank to throw into the mix.
|
I have both S and N. I hereby steal the [S] and [N] tiles.
After mulling it over, I will put down: ADOPTEE (on DEFINE), with a blank substituting for the P This forms ADOPTEE (28) AN (4) and DE (3) for a total of 35 My second word is PLLINIA, using the O in OVERTRAINED. Blank tiles are substituted for P and N. This forms POLLINIA (18) I have no letters left. This entitles me to a bingo (50). To summarize: Turn 1: 35 Turn 2: 18 Bingo!: 50 Total: 103 |
FEZ onto the Z of ZAX. Score is 23.
EDIT: FOAM onto the F of FEZ. Score is 16, I think. Letters remaining V-K-G-V-O-W-K-P-F |
It appears this game has become a battle for second place. :(
I placed SWIVEL (which formed YOKELS) and GOAL (which formed AL) for a total score of 53 points. |
I placed down EGREGIOUS for 26 points, and JIG for another 22 points. That makes a total of 48 points.
|
I take back that action.(if I'm allowed) I create SOVEREIGN for a cool 78 points.(72 if I'm not allowed) I'll exchange U, U, and V for my last turn. |
Okay, first I played DIALOGUE off of Adoptee for 20 points. Then I switched the blanks in Pollinia for a P and an N and played VEXATION for 17 points. That used up all my tiles, giving me a bingo and 50 extra points, so in total my score is 87.
|
Quote:
|
Alright, for my first move I've taken the O blank and used it to form MESOTHORAX for a cool 54 points. I'll follow that up with a nice LANEWAY for 30 points.
|
Guh! Missing two days rapes my score and attempting to make 4 turns at 2:30 am doesn't help much :s Anyhoo, let's see what I can conjure:
- stealing blank from "SOVE[]EIGN" and replacing with "R" - M[]LARKY/(MALARKY) off of "MONK" = 36 points - BONNET + TO off of "OVEN" and "NONTOXIC" = 10+2 = 12 - BIND off of "TEND" = 7 - 50 points for a bingo! - 1 extra turn left to use! :o Total: 105 points Tiles Left: |
I object to your bingo.
Quote:
|
I concur with Tritoch. No bingo bonus, unless you clear 14 tiles in 2 moves.
|
As Tritoch and Zergrinch pointed out, Summonmaster's bingo doesn't count. I intended for him to take 2 turns, then draw more letters. I have removed BIND from the board. If Summonmaster can take 2 turns today while I'm awake, I'll draw him more letters and then he can take 2 more.
Since I'll be in a meeting at 10am, I've updated the first post with letters for today; 2 more blanks in play now. |
Laying down KNOWLEDGE for 26 points and JANE for another 36 which makes a total of 62 points for today
|
Quote:
|
I'm putting down DOS, which turns O into DOS and DEFINE into DEFINES.
I use my second turn to trade I-A-O |
I steal a blank tile, and substitute it with my A.
For my first move, I put down LIO on the L in MALARKY, forming LILO (4). For my second move, I put down CASEWORKERS on LILO, forming LILOS (5) and CASEWORKERS (88). The blank I just swiped, I use as [C]. I have no tiles left. To summarize: Turn 1: 4 Turn 2: 93 Bingo!: 50 Total: 147 |
Quote:
|
Whoops! Looks like I clearly can't read '_';
For my initial two turns of the day then: - PENGUIN off of "SOVEREIGN" = 24 - I[]VOICE/(INVOICE) off of "EGREGIOUS" = 26 Total = 50 Tiles Left = B-O Awaiting letters :) |
Scores are updated, but I've got to go into a meeting. I'll draw your letters when I get out in an hour.
|
Owned by bureaucracy. I'd lay down a word relating to government to give this post a bit more impact, but I'm heading out at the moment too.
|
Mondays are busy for me now that I have to go to the weekly staff meetings. Not too busy for Scrabble, though.
Grawl draws O-O-Y (not much help there) Summonmaster draws D-E-N-A-P-R-N-L-N-E-B-D for his second set of turns (to go with the B-O he has). EDIT: I made TUFA for 14 points and ZETA for 69 points, for a total of 83 points today. |
Words to follow CODA on DEFINES and CHIN FAVA on CODA CODA = 7 FAVA= 20 letters remaining - K, V, O, W, K, G, P, I, G |
Quote:
|
First off, I replace the blank in INVOICE with an N. Then I play JEJUNA off of it for a total of 40 points.
For my second turn I layed down RETINA using my blank for an E for 20 points, giving me a total of 60 points for today. Theoretically. |
I replace the blank with my M and place down VERIFY and HYDRO for 74 points.
|
Okay, I played JOINTING off of Retina for 64 points. Then, I switched my E for the blank in Verify and played ISLANDER, also off of Retina, for 18 points. This gives me a bingo so add another 50 points and I get 132 points in total.
|
Damn, I guess RETINA was a pretty terrible word for me to lay down.
|
- Exchanged "[]" and "P" in "ADO[]TEE"
- Exchanged "[]" and "E" in "V[]XATION" - []ORBADE (FORBADE) off of "I[]LANDER" = 36 - DOER off "GOAL" = 8 --subsequently, ED=2, RE=2, ED=2, all off of "EGREGIOUS" as part of "DOER" Total = 50 Tiles Left = L-N-N-N-[] |
Quote:
Okay, who am I kidding, that ain't gonna happen. |
*Sigh*
I go to sleep and you guys screw things up. After making JOINTING, Rockgamer has I-D-L-[]-A-E-L left (2 Ls but no N). Thus, he cannot make ISLANDER, does not get a bingo, and forfeits that turn. After playing FORBADE, Summonmaster has N-N-L-N-B-D-E-[] left. (a B but no R). Thus, in order to make DOER, he must use his blank for the R, which I changed on the board and adjusted his score accordingly. New letters are up; another blank for Zergrinch. Remember, when placing or removing blanks, please update the blank status at the top of the game board. |
I swipe a blank tile, replacing it with my E (from RETINA).
After mulling it over, I will do the following: Put OEVOLUTION on the [C] in CASEWORKERS, forming COEVOLUTION (with my two blanks as V and U), for 32 points. Put I LAG on V in VEXATION, forming a nice VILLAGE, for 22 points. Guess what, no more letters again :D To summarize: Turn 1: 32 Turn 2: 22 Bingo!: 50 Total: 104 **Hidden Content** |
I layed down DRAWL for 39 points and DEPILATE for 36 points.
|
I'm gonna lose anyway, so I put down YO and want to exchange:
O-O-E-E |
Iya~! My apologies, there's always one problem or another with me. XD
- Exchanged "[]" with "R" in "DOE[]" - NONIL[]ION (NONILLION) off of "JOINTING" = 32 (quadra word score?) - QI off of "SMITE" = 31 Total = 63 Tiles Left= A-B-N-P-T |
Okay, first I switched the blank in Verify with one of my I's, and then I played the word VALEDICTORIAN off of Coevolution for 30 points. Then I played the word AAL (uh, yeah) for 6 points and the bingo. That gives me 86 points in total.
|
Added VROW and GOURD
VROW = 15 GOURDE = 9 |
Quote:
Also, Grawl drew O-N-S-I. EDIT: I picked up the blank U in COEVOLUTION. I played AIDS, which gave me AX and REQUESTS as well for 33 points, and PUREE for 14 points. |
I place down BRAWL for 20 points and I'll exchange U and U.
|
I'm playing DISSAVE for 15 points and then playing TUI on top of that for an additional 19 points (TUI+TI+US+IS). That brings my score for today up to 34 points. Hopefully all that math is correct.
|
The letters are updated for today.
|
I trade the blank T in valedictorian for my T, and the blank V in Coevolution for my V.
For my first move, I'm putting down ARBURIZE on the C in VALEDICTORIAN, forming CARBURIZE, using a blank as an I. This move earns 64 points. For my second move, I place WAKADA on the N in PENGUIN, forming WAKANDA, using a blank as a K. This move earns 20 points. Total for today: 84 Move 1: 64 Move 2: 20 |
What, no bingo today? You're slipping, Zergrinch.
|
The tiles I drew were not very friendly! ;___;
|
Only added LIKING for now.
Score for this move is 16. Letter remaining K, O, P, O, I, T, L, E Second move to come later |
I used my first turn to exchange U-B-E-V-E-E-I-I-I.
EDIT: Actually, when I count out Zergrinch's letters, he did bingo after all. :( |
Added ROOKIE which has also made ERE
ROOKIE = 12 ERE = 6 LIKING = 16 TOTAL = 34 Letters left T, L, P |
FYI, you guys make so many scoring errors (often counting multipliers when they've already been used), I've stopped mentioning them here. I just put the correct scores into the detailed spreadsheet.
For my second turn, I picked up the S blank in MESOTHORAX, then I made PEDESTA[], which also forms NONILLIONS and RETINA[], for a total of 37 points (blank=L). |
For the first time in this game I can make a fucking normal word.
POISON. Second turn goes to WEE. Because I'm awesome like that. |
Okay Dokey. I laid down EYESPOTS for a total of 21 points and then I laid down AGAZE for a total of 45 points. thus making a grand total of 66
|
Alright, I've layed down YABBIE (19) and BELON (24) for a total of 43 points. Is my math wrong? Quite possibly!
|
Plenty of work required to remain in the top 5, and wowee, enough vowels for me :s
- exchanging "I" for ""[]" in CARBUR[]ZE (CARBURIZE) - PAINTIN[] (PAINTING) off of "VERIFY" = 30 - ABATE off of "AGAZE" = 26 Total: 56 Tiles Left: A-A-A (-_-); |
Note: Summonmaster forgot to update the blanks. He took the I but didn't update it with his G.
Okay, first I switched my L, L, and S for blanks (from NONILLION, RETINAL/PEDESTAL, and REQUESTS/AIDS respectively). Then I played the word [F]IREBO[M]B off of Brawl for 33 points. Then I played the word JUVE[N]ILE off of Firebomb for 21 points and the bingo. My total score at the moment is 104, until nutty comes in and finds my error and adjusts it accordingly. ;_; |

EDIT: Today's tiles are up; Yeldarb never took his turns yesterday. There are 18 tiles remaining. Tomorrow, I'll split the tiles evenly among the participants (2 tiles per player); players will have unlimited turns to do what they can with the remaining tiles (no bingos, obviously). |
I laid down GRIBBLES using my blank as its E, also forming ABATES for a total of 31 points. I also replaced the blank in JUVENILES with my N.
Spoiler:
|
I steal the C in Coevolution, replacing it with my own C.
I steal the L in Nonillions, replacing it with my own L. |
Uh... I'm replacing the I blank. Could someone tell me where the hell it IS?
EDIT: Apparently some idiot just didn't capitalize his L. l and I are identical on the board. |
For my first turn, I lay down JIGSAW on TEND, forming JIGSAW and TENDS for 52 points. One blank substitutes for G.
For my second turn, I put FY on BELON, forming FLY and IF. This gains 26 points. For the penultimate day, I get 78 points and no bingo. Tiles remaining: THELLX |
- Switched "F" for "[]" in "F[]REBOMB" (FIREBOMB)
- JOLTI[]G (JOLTING) off of "JUVENILE" = 28 - WAGE off of "JOLTI[]G" (JOLTING) = 27 Total: 55 Tiles Left: A-A-A-M-U Please uppercase letters, whoever put "IWS" and "TEXTS". |
Alright, I'm replacing the blank in JOLTI[N]G with my N.
Then I'm laying down SANDPITS (12 points) with the two S's as blanks. This also forms CHINS (9 points) and AURAS (4 points). Oh yeah, and my first bingo of the game, baby (50 points)! That adds up to a total of 75 points. I'd say that puts me back in the running for one of the top spots. =D |
With my wonderful assortment of vowels, there wasn't much I could do, but here goes:
I replaced the blank in GRIBBLES with an E. I played YULE and []UAY/QUAY for a total score of 40 points. At least no one else will be getting that blank anytime soon. |
Added KEITLOA for now. Second word to follow soon
EDIT: Added PIETY, using my [] as a Y Letter left O, J, O PIET[] = 6 KEITLOA = 13 TOTAL = 19 scores are probably wrong |
I'm replacing the blank in FORBADE with my F
I put down UNWIELDIER for 18 points I put down DODOES for 8 points also 50 Points for a bingo that makes 76 points |
I'm feeling lazy, so I'll update the scores in the morning (I only promised to update once a day anyway).
|
Time to try this again.
First I played ERE[C]TIVE off of Carburize for 28 points. Then I played HUGER, also off of Carburize, for 20 points. No bingo, so hopefully that means I got it right this time. |

Also, Smelnick failed to mention that he used a blank in DODOE[] (he would have had to). I corrected it on the board and his score. Yeldarb seems to have dropped out of the game, since he's gone almost 2 days without a move. Odd, since he was in contention for the lead. I'll wait until closer to 10am to post today's letters, since if he doesn't use any, it'll affect how I distribute the remaining 18 tiles. EDIT: Final letters are posted. I gave 3 letters to the 4 players with the least amount of letters, and 0 letters to Yeldarb and Grawl. Remember, everyone has unlimited turns today to make the most of whatever letters you have left. |
Turn 1 is X, on the I in SOVEREIGN, forming XI for 25 points.
I swap my G for the blank G in PAINTING. Turn 2 is ELLS (S=[]), on DEPILATE, forming TELLS and COEVOLUTIONS, for 24 points. Turn 3 is H, on WAKANDA, forming HA and HE, for 20 points. Turn 4 is O, on the K in Caseworkers, forming KOI, for 14 points. Turn 5 is T, under DOS, forming DOST, for 10 points. Total haul for today is 93 points. I hereby finish with 992 points, just 18 short of my 1000 point goal :( |
Turn 1: TAN and ON: 8 points
Turn 2: ION and AIR: 12 points Turn 3: TEAL, EN, and AG: 15 points Turn 4: LA, LA, and AM: 11 points Turn 5: REAL, AA, and AAL: 9 points Total for today: 55 points |
Note: I checked to see I wasn't duplicating any two letter words on the board by using Ctrl+F on all the letters I used for my two letter formations.
- Replace a "[]" in "SANDPITS" with my "S" - GAR off of "PAINTING" and "HYDRO" = 8 - LAM off of "OUTROAR" = 6 --subsequently, MO off of "ROD"= 3 - []X (OX) off of "NONTOXIC" = 8 - ZA off of "ZOOM" = 11 - subsequently, AN off of "PEONY" = 2 - AI off of "COEVOLUTION" = 2 --subsequently, AY off of "YO" = 5 - NU off of ADENOMATA = 2 Total = 47 |

Wierd, I thought I had calculated it with 0 points for the blank. guess I miscounted. Doesn't that still count as a bingo though?
Additional Spam: Alright. I layed down BIT for 3 points I exchanged my O for the [] in OX, and layed it down at the end of ROD to form RODS for another 3 points. this gives me 6 points in total. HUZZAH!! an epic last move. |

Laid down AERO which also makes OP. Also laid down KOPJE
AERO = 4 OP = 3 KOPJE = 18 Total = 25 Do I get bingo for only taking two turns and using all my letters? If so, 75 points in total. |
Alright, using up my final three letters:
- I lay down the I to form PI and ID for a total of 7 points (using the P of EYESPOTS). - The A forms ZA and AE for a total of 13 points (using the Z from CARBURIZE). - Finally, my B creates BA and BI on a double word score for 16 points (using the A from WAR). That comes to a grand total of 36 points. Unfortunately, that leaves me just 6 points shy of making this a three-way tie for second place and I can't find a move to get those. :( |
So close, yet so far, eh buddy? :(
|
Yeah, I'm just glad to be done.
JO off of Mesothorax for 25 points DUB off of Abates for 10 points NOD off of Nonillions/Forbade for 8 points PI off of Depilate for 6 points EN off of Dodoes for 4 points Total: 53 |
Final scores are tallied. Great game, everyone!
