Teh Internets Kiss Your Scrabulous Goodbye
posted by July 7 at 14:00 PM
onI took part in a “Whatever happened to that lawsuit against Scrabulous?” discussion last week.
Here’s the answer: Scrabble is ready to unveil their Facebook application. I’m willing to bet that people won’t go to the Scrabble application of their own volition, so Scrabble’s going to have to force the game by putting Scrabulous out of business. Especially since the Scrabble version of Scrabulous sucks ass.

NoooooooOooOooooo....
I still don't understand the point of playing Scrabble online. Everybody can cheat. I had a "live" player stuff a dictionary in the bathroom once so how hard can it be over the internets?
Not that I play much, but still....
Just because it's legal doesn't mean it doesn't suck.
Now to figure out what to do about all those Oregon Trail and Hug Me invites ...
putting Scrabulous out of business... gee, I'm shocked that you can't rip off someone's copyrighted work (in this case, a game) and start a Facebook business with it.
You want word games? Invent your own!
Oh, damn. And I was just getting into Scrabulous (the fabulous Kerri Harrop introduced me). Scrabulous is everything a good web applet should be. Scrabble TM is not. But this is perfectly representative of the modern world, where the legal and aboveboard version of EVERYTHING is crippled and shitty compared to the "pirate" version.
God dammit, Scrabulous is the only reason I'm even on Facebook. And, I haven't gotten to beat Fnarf enough yet.
And, in case you were wondering, he has a great vocabulary and is prone to rage, particularly when hit with a juicy triple word score.
@6: GAME ON!
"Prone to rage" will come as a huge shock to anyone who reads my comments here. But, yeah, MIZZ Harrop, you've got my dander up, and I've been practicing. I've gotten to 500 in a game recently. So I am ready to crush you like a slow-moving insect -- or, alternatively, cower helplessly under your terrible blows. Either way.
scramble is way more fun anyway....
