I think we all need to give DrGod a break. He has moved Servers enabling us to play now. Transferring everything else will mean a massive unpaid work load for him. I guess there are a lot of players who did not even paid the inital few $s to join/play. Not forgetting IronSudoko which a lot play also. Praise be DrGod and thank you again.

6:56 pm
Adonax
Hi LeslieAnn. That's good to hear about the size. I'm more likely to come back for a smaller board. I've got 310 with 144 to go, so far. The tile stats are very helpful clues, but also make it harder to put aside the puzzle.
6:57 pm
72 Temple Owl
in the beginning, if you did not pay to join, you got no stats.
6:57 pm
penquis
warning....babble is addictive... ;o)
6:58 pm
LeslieAnn
that's great for a first grid!
6:58 pm
72 Temple Owl
so can you still join now, or are you doomed to forever babbling in the shadows?
6:58 pm
LeslieAnn
people come up with all kinds of goals to make it easier to walk away lol. like having one from each tile, or more than half from each tile etc.
6:59 pm
LeslieAnn
i believe Dr. G. said he stopped collecting money and just gave anyone who signed up a "paid" account at one point (a few years ago?)

LeslieAnn, I play a lot of Wordsplay online. Some of the folks there mentioned this site so I thought I'd checkit out. Definitely fun. I have one S (col 1, row 3) that is not at half yet. 9 of 22. I like that halfway for each letter goal.
7:02 pm
hokie carla
we call that HOET - half on every tile
7:02 pm
LeslieAnn
some days you have time to track them all down, sometimes you don't!
7:03 pm
hokie carla
and it's a great goal
7:04 pm
hokie carla
ooh, just finished the L
7:05 pm
hokie carla
now if I could just find 5 s's in the 4th col I'd gray the whole one
7:05 pm

a few i have from that S are Mr. Claus with the last vowel changed, and college Se*** Hall
7:06 pm
hokie carla
that's the 3rd row S

hokie carla

7:19 pm
Adonax
penquis, I meant that in terms of being new hear and not wanting to do something like make it inappropriately easy
7:19 pm
LeslieAnn
on7 is a babblet. sounds like more nasty
7:19 pm
72 Temple Owl
any serious bakers here? i made a new cake and some things need to improve
7:19 pm
hurshy
more cranky, in a special dialect based spelling
7:20 pm
hokie carla

7:20 pm
72 Temple Owl
it's too labor intensive to fumble my way to perfection
7:21 pm

7:21 pm
Scrabbler

7:24 pm
BzznBea
yes, that's too fussy for me.
7:24 pm
penquis
and carla said she always has trouble with those double T words....
7:24 pm
72 Temple Owl
not advanced. just a pain with a small work space. peelin and dicing and all that
7:25 pm
Adonax
I suppose it could be used in a cake recipe, but that might be a stretch.
7:25 pm
72 Temple Owl

hokie carla

7:29 pm
Adonax
72 Temple Owl - part of what makes it tricky is that it is not the usual spelling for this word.

I went to get it last week but they made me wait too long and I had to leave plus they were going to make me pay even though it's supposed to be free for most everyone. so I keep forgetting to call my ins and ask what's up.

9:54 pm
72 Temple Owl

9:55 pm
72 Temple Owl

9:55 pm
72 Temple Owl
it's a t
9:55 pm
hokie carla
that's okay, going back to the M for now
9:56 pm
Adonax
Ack, am having big trouble with ar 8 40. That is my last A word. So, all 1 pt letters. Also, comes after ar.. (should I not reveal?) but before as.
9:57 pm
hokie carla
it's a regular word. in your body, with blood
9:57 pm
hokie carla
plural
9:58 pm
hokie carla
also, I say don't worry about revealing too much this late in the day (well, don't give the actual word but you know)
9:59 pm
Adonax
doh! thanks. OK, was thrown by the tricky path.
9:59 pm
hokie carla
yep, I didn't see it either, saw it clued at some point today
10:00 pm
Adonax
I didn't think to backtrack to the R--but took that R as taken, despite it having a neighboring R.
10:02 pm
72 Temple Owl
early day tomorrow. good night and ha[[y babbling
10:02 pm
hokie carla
good night - still 16 left here
10:03 pm
72 Temple Owl
i certainly hope the demonstrators will not be at the station tomorrow. at least until i catch the train home.
10:03 pm
hokie carla
good luck
10:03 pm
72 Temple Owl
they started out peacefully but then blocked trains. why do they think the US can end the conflict in the middle east?
10:04 pm
hokie carla
who knows
10:04 pm
72 Temple Owl
that's what i say. see you tomorrow.
10:04 pm
hokie carla
good night
10:05 pm
72 Temple Owl
it is very interesting. like with most things nowadays. younger people have their own views.
10:05 pm
72 Temple Owl
night al
10:05 pm
hokie carla
but what do they think stopping trains there will accomplish?
10:19 pm
hokie carla
well that was a slog with the list. why I usually don't use it with that many left.
10:37 pm
cybernan
have totally lost interest so leaving - hopefully the next grid will be more manageable.
10:40 pm
hurshy
they likely feel that they must do SOMETHING, anything... even if it seems futile
10:48 pm
Adonax
OK, ready to leave this one. I just have one I'd really like to figure out: on7.28. Clues?
10:51 pm
hokie carla
it's a comparative, alt spelling of say what a grumpy old man is
10:52 pm
Adonax
thanks, got it.
10:53 pm
Adonax
oops maybe not
10:53 pm
hokie carla
no prob, come back tomorrow for more fun!
10:54 pm
hokie carla
OR8 (not in the grid) is how I would spell and say ON7
10:54 pm
Adonax
there, just bobbling some of the letters
That was fun. If the board is smaller tomorrow, I'll try again. But this might be too addicting.
10:55 pm
hokie carla
they're usually between 100-200
10:56 pm
hokie carla
I'm guessing 153 for tomorrow
10:56 pm
Adonax
95 left, three hours of life spent, not bad
10:57 pm
Adonax
agreed about or8
10:57 pm
Adonax
have a good night!
10:59 pm
hokie carla
lol, I'm sure I spent way more than that
10:59 pm
