The 10,000 Post Thread!

It would need a board and someone to be the person to do it I think.

Too much like hard work if you ask me.

Well I could make a suggestion of how to do countdown, but because of the mood I am in I'll post a spoiler. A site that has a solver on it for the countdown letters game

http://www.benmason.net/countdown/

 

[peterska2]

but if make some up and say give it an hour then come back and see who has got the most letters and the best words then the link wont matter

 

[Arris]

Well since its dictionary is limited, the link doesnt matter, but you can put in any random selection of letters and it will give you all words that can be made from it that are in its dictionary.

 

[peterska2]

so are we gonna do this or what?

 

[Arris]

Ok, you can start the thread.... so that way if it falls flat on its face I don't look stuuuupid like usual

Go on yersel Girl!

 

[peterska2]

going for a new thread or staying in here with it?

 

[freako104]

you have a thread waiting for you.

saw it thanks but i havent started posting yet



id love to play scrabble

 

[peterska2]

we are doing anagram tyoe things in the form of countdown in the countdown thread. scrabble seems inpractical unless you know of a way of devising an online scrabble board that can be hosted on a little tiny bit of webspace and somehow made easy to play

Hey, less than a thousand posts to go. I never read this thing, and with nearly 10,000 posts, I don't think I ever will.

 

[peterska2]

i only picked it up at about the 8700 mark and am not even thiking about reading it. i did that once on another site and read 4000 posts of thread just to discover that it was full of crap and totally pointless and it took me 7 hours to read through coz some of the posts were really long too

There is a game on popcap.com called "Psychobabble" where you create sentences using the words and punctuation supplied each round under a time limit, then at the end of each round all of the players (up to 12 in any given room) vote for their favorite. It's pretty fun and some of the sentences are very funny. There is also a chat session going on in each room the whole time. Maybe I'll bump into one of you over there sometime.

Oops - I forgot to say click on "Web Games" at the top of their homepage.

 

[peterska2]
