.....to expect someone who agrees to play a "fast" game of scrabulous to make more than 2 moves a day???

This drives me absolutely crackers. Surely the word "fast" gives people a clue that I'd like to finish the game before Christmas??

Yes but Scrabulous is often down which is extremely vexing when you've an 88 pointer to play.

scrabulous?

serenity · 19/09/2007 16:43

It's taken me around 2 days to make my moves on Scrabulous this week as it's been pretty impossible to log on to. I don't know why I'm bothering though as I'm being soundly thrashed by pretty much every Mner I'm playing (I'm blaming it on crap letters!)

Ok - I shouldn't be asking this as i already spend too much time on the computer... but ... how where what ... scrabulous ???

TheQueenOfQuotes · 19/09/2007 16:57

oooo - ooooo is this online scrabble????? where????

indignatio · 19/09/2007 16:58

QofQ - I'll play you if someone can point us in the right direction

Scrabble. On Facebook. Very addictive.

Sign up to Facebook, add some friends, then add Scrabulous as an application.

Just play 15 games at the same time. Then you don't have time to worry about how often people are moving!

TheQueenOfQuotes · 19/09/2007 17:01

ok - for someone that spends 75% of her day "online" - will someone please educate me as to what (and where) Facebook is

lulumama · 19/09/2007 17:01

am on facebook

have friends

do i need scrabulous to add to my list of on line addictions pastimes?

indignatio · 19/09/2007 17:02

Sorry QofQ - I will have to bow out now - I swore I wouldn't go anywhere near facebook

aDad · 19/09/2007 17:02

It's quite infuriating. I've started a few games with people that have just never finished for various reasons, or you email them every few days to remind them to take their go!

The only games that work are between me and DP actually!

TheQueenOfQuotes · 19/09/2007 17:03

link to this "facebook" please...........

WigWamBam · 19/09/2007 17:03

Lulumama ... yes

QoQ - www.facebook.com

BeetrootBevan · 19/09/2007 17:03

oh god thought it might be me for a moment!

aDad · 19/09/2007 17:06

yes i swore i wouldn't succumb to facebook and within a couple of weeks I was on it, just to join a particular group, and then you're there and you think "well i suppose I should look up some friends" or they find you, and it's a slippery slope from there really!

You have been warned

TheQueenOfQuotes · 19/09/2007 17:14

well I've just registered......and can you believe it - one of DH's old workchums is already there wanting to "be a friend".

I'm Gwen Thequeenofquotes if anyone wants to add me.......now where do I find this scrabble????

gordieracer · 19/09/2007 17:23

What was the 88 point word???

indignatio · 19/09/2007 17:24

Ok - in desparation to play scrabble I tried to register - it is not happy with a Java thingy and I have followed the instructions to the letter and it is still not happy about the Java thingy - anyone understand the problem ?

indignatio · 19/09/2007 17:25

desperation even

SlightlyMadSweden · 19/09/2007 17:31

There is a site you ca play it on directly without registerinf with Facebook.

Google Scrabulous - some MNetters play their in the evenings - but you have to find the thread her to see which room they are in.

whoops · 19/09/2007 17:39

I'm getting frustrated too - I need something to keep me going through the day at work

chocoholic · 19/09/2007 17:40

Oh dear, hope it's not me you are playing.
I play really slowly on Facebook as I only log in a couple of times a day.

You definitely need Scrabulous direct here

TheQueenOfQuotes · 19/09/2007 18:39

well I'm registered on facebook now so I'd like to find it on there........PLEASE......

chocoholic · 19/09/2007 19:08

On the left hand side is a search box. Put scrabulous in there & it should come up with it.

TheQueenOfQuotes · 19/09/2007 19:12

thanks - found it.......now what do I do??? I don't have any friends
