.....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??

Add me if you want! I'm on the mumsnet group scrable discussion asking how to get a game with someone!

Have requested you as a friend so we can have a game. I'm a slow player though!!

TheQueenOfQuotes · 19/09/2007 22:24

choco - I've started a game with you - but I need to wait for DH to add a "plug-in" which currently means I can't seen the board or tiles

NadineBaggott · 19/09/2007 22:26

we don't have much bother eh wiggy?

WigWamBam · 20/09/2007 10:22

Must confess to being addicted to scrabulous too, but everyone is walloping me

WigWamBam · 20/09/2007 10:53

Giraffeski - they don't have rooms to play Scrabulous in on Facebook. You just start games with people from your friends list.

There's a MN Facebook group though, if you haven't found that yet.

QueenofQuotes I've just sent you a friend request in order to play Scrabble if you're interested. I'm currently playing two other MNers, they are kicking my arse!

Lorayn · 20/09/2007 11:19

I want to play!!!

TheQueenOfQuotes · 20/09/2007 11:49

have added you as a friend mindalina - I'm waiting on DH to add my plug-in....although I may see (in the meantime) if our (very old version ) of IE will let me at least start playing....)

vbacqueen1 · 20/09/2007 12:31

OMG what have I started? LOL

You don't even need to have friends playing scrabulous with you - if you click on "join open game" you can play with whoever has posted a request.

I too was a Facebook sceptic. Couldn't see the point and just thought I must be too old to "get it". I was wrong!

Am happy to report that Scrabulous now has new servers and, touch wood, appears to be running fine today. So for all of you slow coaches who agreed to fast games, pull your bloody fingers out and get on with it! (Only recently noticed that if someone hasn't made a move for a week you can force them to forfeit the game, adding an automatic win to your tally - hehehe)

ha, I just made three random people I sometimes talk to on other places join scrabulous.
I'm really poor at it though

vbacqueen1 · 20/09/2007 12:35

You can add me if you like; am always up for a game (or 15)

Flamesparrow · 20/09/2007 14:26

I'm a slow player, but to be fair I don't recall telling anyone I would be a fast player. I have to try and play at a time when I am a) not being hassled by a small child b) not too tired and can't think.

Lately neither is happening. I am losing appallingly in all games now whereas before it was just losing mildly in most (apart from ones against Hunker which are appalling 100% of the time ). I can't even beat my sister any more because I am too bloody tired

whoops · 20/09/2007 17:24

Flame you can't be losing all your games you're beating me!!

Boco · 20/09/2007 17:27

If anyone sees nappies galore tell her it's her move. For 5 days.

Flamesparrow · 20/09/2007 17:38

I'm playing you?!

whoops · 20/09/2007 17:39

pmsl yes!
