boinky 0 #1 May 30, 2008 I play Scrabble on a web site called The Pixie Pit. It is a Scrabble game where the moves are sent through e-mails, so that you can play at your leisure. I believe it is a $12 yearly fee to play there. Anyone else play there? I would love some new challengers. Post here or PM me if you're interested!

boinky 0 #7 May 30, 2008 I'll check it out, but I've already paid my $12 yearly fee for the other site. I can find competitors there, but thought it might be nice to play with some fellow skydivers instead, in case some of THEM also are a member of the site I mentioned.

Whiskeyboi 0 #8 May 30, 2008 My online Scrabble engine of choice would be http://www.isc.ro/ You can play for free, or pay for a few extras (that you won't need.) It supports multiple dictionaries too (for those of you across the pond.) I love this one because there is just something so Commodore 64/TRS-80/Dos 2.0 about it...reminds me of one database we use at work. I mean...not like I play scrabble or anything. Or have read the OED. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boinky 0 #9 May 30, 2008 Hmmmmm.....interesting. I would prefer not having to download anything to play, though. Is that an e-mail based game, or one you have to sit through all at one time?Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

Whiskeyboi 0 #10 May 30, 2008 QuoteHmmmmm.....interesting. I would prefer not having to download anything to play, though. Is that an e-mail based game, or one you have to sit through all at one time? It's one you have to log into and leave running. There used to be a really good e-mail one in the 90's but it only worked with dial-up. (Damn...showing my age again.) I miss those old e-games. They had a kick-ass version of Battleship as well. If you're into old-skool, bootleg-looking but effective software, I say give it a try. For something that looks like it should be asking Matthew Broderick if he wants to play globalthermonuclear war, it's not bad. (The "send sounds" or "ASCII art" feature is a particular fav. of mine.) Other alternative is to shell out 10 bucks for the older official editions of Scrabble (like 2003). You can play over the net, but not e-mail. Again...not that I have any experience with Scrabble or anything... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boinky 0 #11 May 30, 2008 I USED to play on a site called, e-scrabble, until Hasbro caught wind of them and sent them a "cease and desist" letter. Fuckers! I've tried a few of the boxed versions. They weren't so good. And honey....I doubt seriously that you are as old as I am. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

pirana 0 #18 May 30, 2008 There is a very good gaming site at Itsyourturn.com Chess, backgammon, scrabble, and loads of others. They have ladders & tourneys, or you can just play whoever you want. No downloads. I think you can make up to 20 moves per day before you have to join.
