I do expect that you follow protocol and at least finish the game, resign, do something, but don't just leave it there. As a typical Virgo I hate to see it there, unfinished.

This makes me want to not move for three days. I can't do that. I feel my phone buzz and I will WAKE up to make my move. I now leave my phone out of reach.

Good letters and great position--I had it. Next game will be yours, I'm sure.

Most of the time it isn't crazy o'clock where I am located. lol If you would just move to California San Diego to be more specific this wouldn't be an issue Uof<what shall I call you today?>Mfan.

Arwen - I am spot on!

Christie's post made me smile. While I am not the brain crack pusher I do enjoy watching others share in the addiction you people have. I'm not addicted.

sara-bera · 12-28-2011, 02:33 PM

the latest update of WWF has my phone in a tizzy. My battery drains in an hour if I play!

I might cry.

I am a little addicted.

Aww you want me to move near you. That may have touched my cold heart.

I am not a fan of the wrong coast, but thanks!

It (the latest update) did the same thing to my phone this morning, so I have been playing from FB.

I am not addicted, but I do enjoy exercising my brain.

christie · 12-28-2011, 02:44 PM

Are you using the free version or the pay version?

I haven't updated the free... last thing I need is more battery drain - the 12 hours a day I talk/text on it is bad enough! I might have to load it on the iPad too (and then seek out a 12 step program *wink* )

sara-bera · 12-28-2011, 03:08 PM

the paid version. I might have to uninstall until the next update. My task-killer won't even shut it off. I have to manually shut the program down every time I play.

It's a known issue though. I'd like to think their developers are working on it. I hope. I hope a lot.

Very little can drive me to visit FB, but this kerfluffle with their last update might.

How many of you use some sort of outside help?

scrabble helper or crossword helper?

Is it cheating or cheating the spirit of the game?

yes/no?

why/why not?

I'm sort of ambivilent about outside help, cause I'm playing the game for a learning experience...

But it does bite to be trounced by over three hundred points by someone you KNOW does not know what the small earbone of an animal that has been extinct for several thousand years is called.

JoSchmooze · 12-29-2011, 01:35 PM

I finally won a game with Dixie
But I haven't seen her online since then....

Everyone else is beating mah ass regularly,
Even that Andrea who had not played before I offered
to let her beat me!

starryeyes · 12-29-2011, 01:36 PM

I am romeebear if anyone wants to play. I'm game!

:-D

I don't use helpers. If I wouldn't be allowed to do it in a game of scrabble, I wouldn't do it in WWF.

I do however, have a ridiculous vocabulary. I love words, especially archaic ones and I am a voracious reader.

I don't play against people I suspect to be using helpers. It doesn't feel like a game anymore and I just don't see the point, I'm afraid.

scootebaby · 12-29-2011, 02:54 PM

so...we can have as many open games as we want? we dont have to sit and complete a game if there are time constraints...im slowly getting around to spending more time over there so this info would be helpful

I think that if no one makes a move for seven days, the game will end. And you may play up to twenty games, I believe.

I have a game that has been idle for 8 days, and yes it is driving me nuts!
How difficult is it to resign? (I am not talking about you RitaSink, you are quite apt at following protocol and common courtesy).

I have about 15 games going on right now, so I am not sure if twenty is the limit and frankly I don't want to test that one out. I'll take your word for it.

Oh and no time constraints, ask the kitty he knows
