Wait, No Scrabulous?

dang, that does shake everything I thought at the time. I mean, I'm no ace at scrabble, but I was a little bit surprised at how much better some people were on that thing.

est:
After a certain point I wouldn't play against a certain RL friend of a friend who would beat all my other friends, because she hit 3 bingos against me in one game and used really fucking ridiculous words.  In that game it was past the point where I could quit the game without losing, so I just played very very slowly and put down the stupidest, weakest words I could to make it obvious I was playing under protest just so that she couldn't force win.

My housemate says that he would play against a certain guy at work whose screen he could see.  He would see him sitting there on some word generator site, but when he'd ask him about it he'd deny it, so he took a picture the next time he saw it and emailed it to him.  Humorous part of this scenario is that the co-worker would still lose most games because even though he'd come up with good words he couldn't work out Scrabble tactics for shit.

RobbieOC:
Craziest

I played in a Scrabble tournament at a coffee shop near here, and when I play with my friends I'm usually pretty good. But I got smoked. It was actually kind of embarassing...

RedLion:
I don't think that cheat-o-matic problem was as widespread as you guys are making it out to be. Maybe it's just the people I know, but even when I'm doing regular Scrabble, where you have the board game there in front of you, my friends have a predilection for using absurd but completely "legal" words.

KvP:
I don't think I've ever gone up against anyone who used a generator. The people I played with are generally all around here and in most cases we've cut it pretty close at the end of the game, which I don't think could have happened were we Scrabble Doping. But the one person I did suspect (not from around here) still had a relatively authentic-looking record (80-45 or somesuch) Do the cheaters throw games to make it less conspicuous or something? A 300-60 record or something would be a red flag, you'd think.

Not that it matters now, of course.
