DKs CC Scrabble [Winner: got tonkaed]

[Dukasaur]

I won my challenge and am proud to present the word WAFFLES as the benchmark word.

It is a very nice word. You may be able to improve it still if we have a second challenge round.

[Dukasaur]

The first round of challenges is well underway. Here's the list of games if anyone wants to watch.

Now, unless there are strong objections, we will have a second round of challenges. In this round anyone can make a challenge, even if they have seven letters already. However, only letters that were already challengeable can be challenged. Nobody can touch your protected list, or your two free vowels, or any letters that you won in the first round of challenges.

Also, since this second round wasn't in the originally published rules, and is something I added later, I am naturally vulnerable to arguments that there has been too much tinkering with the rules, and it should be dropped. If there is an upswelling of objections to having a second round of challenges, I will drop the idea.

If there are no objections, please go ahead and post your challenges.

from PM:

i dont have any chance for win this tournament so if i dont need to make challenge i want do it is that ok

That's fine. It's your choice.

Dakusaur, I need to see how the games are going. I need an S more then I need an N. But i am in trouble either way....
both games are not looking too good at the moment...

[Gilligan]

Do the phases repeat themselves? Or is it whoever gets the best word this time wins?

good question,
as i gather this second phase is the final phase...

If there is a second round of challenges, it would be the last.

After that the best word wins.

If not, then the best word wins right now.

[Gilligan]

Gotcha. Well my word is "Ipomoea".

I won't be doing any further updating until Saturday, so you have plenty of time to decide.

Good luck!


To everyone else: if you intend to make a challenge in the second round, please post it by noon Saturday. On the other hand, if you object to there being a second challenge round, please post your objection by noon Saturday. On the third hand, if you see yourself getting challenged, please save me a step by deciding ahead of time what map you wish to defend on, and post it by noon Saturday.

Saturday afternoon I will hope to create any challenge games (if required.)

[TheKidsTrumpet]

I'm not sure what time zone you are in for noon. It's before noon here still. How many challenges am I allowed to pose? Can we get updated list on available letters? Last i saw Y and W were still free and i would like to challenge for those. But if we can make more I would want to challenge for K, F or T. Let me know the status.

UPDATE: First and foremost I would like to challenge Y and W, if more challenges are allowed i would like to challenge for B and K

[Dukasaur]

The four games in the first challenge round have ended.

xSekirei won an S from Ir1sh Ace and a K from SirSebstar. DoomYoshi won an L from chapcrap. SirSebstar defended his S from rmjw10 in an absolutely amazing come-from-behind victory!

[Dukasaur]

from PM:

I need that K., but i think i cannot challange that again
so N from ckyrias please

Have you decided? Do you wish to issue a challenge?

[TheKidsTrumpet]

I'm pretty certain SirSebstar has this tourney in the bag, however I will challenge for the "W"

Okay

[Dukasaur]

Last two challenge games have started.

If there's no other challenges then we will go directly to word creation.
