In the absence of flash pots and fireworks, rock bands and screaming fans, I give you me. A crabby, ol' Asian fellow who evidently has the vocabulary of a stick of gum.

However, although I am frail of body and mind I will still fight. Fight, I say! FIGHT! My weapon of choice?

Scrabulous, of course!

After the successful first round where ConMan wiped the floor with with people from all over the world (just like Frank Dux in Bloodsport!), we see that we may have some problems with time zones. Before I decide how we play (random, single elimination, hemispheres, battle of the sexes, etc.) let's see who we can get to play.

If you want to play, state your intention in this thread. Registration will be open for the next 48 hours. At 9pm (EDT) the doors will shut with all the contestants inside and we'll fight until the death.

So, get your propellor beanies on and start practicing.

I'll be the first to say it: I'm in!

I'm in.

Honey, you're going down.

I'm in.

I want to join this time.

In.

I've said it fifty times in different places, but to be sure, ''count me in''

Ooooh. So far 3 chicks, 3 dicks...

I suck. Im in.

I'm in it to win it! (Last time I was just in it to get second place).

Now that I have your attention, can I play too?

I'm in, can I play with Clare? I mean against Clare?

Next round... Why not? I'm in. With this I'll be more literate than ever mhuahahaa.

IN

I'll take that as a challenge!

Don't try to distract me with your luscious apple-like bottom.

I'm in

In to hopefully not lose with poor time management.

Yeah go on then, it's not like I have anything else to do

Ok, kiddies. 15 hours and then registration clots. Pairings will be distributed soon after the deadline.

In.

50 minutes, mo-fos, and the registration closes!

REGISTRATION: CLOSED!

Routine is like last time: After the pairings are released you will need to get in touch with your partner in order to coordinate a time to play. This time around the pairings aren't random! You're playing in the order you signed up (the exception is Sapphire & Zaheer - I paired you together because of your time zone).

Are you ready? I SAID, ARE YOU READY??

LET'S GET READY TO RHUMBA!

The pairings are as follows:
doughnutfairy
puzzlehead

doa12
Ragnarok

Clarissa
Megan

B-Dub
Mase199

ConMan
dlandvw

zanderzion
ryancook

LuongoSaves
badbart

Zaheer
Sapphire

Notice the ConMan-dlandvw match up? Oooooh! badbart gets the noob! Puzzy get's the boobs! And we gots us a catfight between Clarissa & Megan!

First round games should be played by Friday, 12pm (EDT). That gives everyone 50 hours to complete this round!

Post your results, images and/or smach-filled chat logs in this thread.

Good luck!

Quick EDIT: if you guys get bored waiting for 50 hours to elapse, try to negotiate with your partner for increased games like best 2 out of 3. BUT, be honest and no bitching.

20 minute matches, SOWPODS dictionary!

Question: Is a 20-minute match when each person gets 20 minutes for their moves or each person gets 10 minutes for their moves (which would equal 20 minutes). I played it both ways last tourney, but wanted to get an official ruling before this one.

Each person gets 20 minutes.

Except for you now. You only get 5. Sorry.

I'M KIDDING! YEESH!

Yes, each person gets 20 minutes.

Unfortunately, as my girl knows, 5 minutes is more than enough for me.

Are you talking about B-Dub?


On a separate note:

From the main scrabulous page:

*** There is lag probably due to some hardware problem and Scrabulous may face random outage in the next 24-48 hours. We are working with the USA data center to get this fixed soon. Thank you for your patience!

Zander won...

Everything was going well for me until he pulled 'INVOICED' out of his ASS and got two triple word scores on that single turn. WTF.

Just looking at that board makes me happy I didn't play... You mofos are teh smarts!

Who did I piss off to have to face ConMan again in the first round??? Bastards

It was a good game Ryan. I got lucky this time

Oh no! I don't know how Puzzlehead and I will make it through a game. I've go some new shoes to tell him about.

HA! My wife and I are going to the new, bigger Coach outlet today. I came home from work early for her so we could do it

I think Saphire is trying to freeze me by being late. She plays a mental game I tell ya.

mwuhahahaha

Can anyone else look at this and guess which words were Ryan's?

25.5 hours left to play, people! Failure to post in this thread and not playing your match means a forfeit (such as colorless v. Dlandvw in the last tourney).

Me and dlambvdub, no wait.

dlampbbw?

Shit, me and dlandvw scheduled a match for tomorrow night, so I will probably be knocked out of the tournament by this time tomorrow.

i spent 20 minutes looking for the rooms cause it kept giving me outages..

and my challenge is gone..


DOH!

Ragnarok and I are still hashing out a time.

Yeah. Give me some time. I just moved but I should be around tomorrow night.

I couldn't connect to any of the rooms last night, but I'm scheduled to beat Zaheer at 2pm my time today.

Yeah, Scrabulous.com wasn't working for me around 10:30PM last night. I thought I sent you a PM about it, but I don't see it in my Sent folder.

We may have to throw ourselves on the mercy of the court (puzzlehead) for a time/date extension.

Ya Puzz-

Weekend extension? -

Megan and I are doing it at work today.

Maybe Ill just let one of the indian guys play for me. They're smart, right?

What would your man-friend say about that comment?

Hussy!

He'd most likely laugh.

And the indian guys at work *are* smart. Thats why I hired them in the first place.

Are you sure it isnt because you cream your pants for indian guys?

Yep.

pffft. Great. More outsourcing.

The latest I will extend this to is Saturday at midnight. That extends this another 30 hours. After that we'll have to figure something out if their servers suck.

Like playing armegatron or bzflag instead.
