I gave up on scrabulous because I could NEVER log into my games and I had like 8 going at one time. I believe I was frustrating a lot of people [that is if they were not experiencing the same problems].

12/14/2007 11:06:53 PM

it's getting a lot better! too bad i kick everyone elses ass

12/14/2007 11:59:08 PM

I'm playing with someone who is clearly cheating.

For most of the game, he was playing very basic words and in low point value positions.

All of a sudden, he's putting 'pixel' and 'naves' in 3x word positions, and 'zoa' on 2x word.

12/15/2007 3:17:22 PM

playing now--definitely killing time

^that's like my sister-in-law...she starts out really basic and then slams you in the end with that kind of shit. she's unbeatable, haha

"Scrabulous - the famous FaceBook App gets SUED by Hasbro Jul 29, 2008 19:13 Last weekend Hasbro - which holds the legal patent for the popular game Scrabble in North America has filed a case against the Indian Developers - Rajat and Jayant who hail from Kolkatta (formerly Calcutta) in the eastern part of India. But this entire episode seems more of a cheap publicity stunt of Hasbro than nothing else. Since, both the developers are based out of India and don't really have any assets in US - legally speaking the case isn't gonna have any effect on the developers. Also, when the application is being given out for free in facebook, I don't really see any problem with it. The developers didn't steal some code from Hasbro to write the game. I suppose Hasbro along with Electronic Arts launched a Scrabble game for free on Facebook sometime back but it hasn't caught that many users as Scrabulous that boast almost half a million users. Lets wait and watch how this interesting trial unfolds - But I guess this is gonna bring more spotlight to the Indian Developers and throw a bad image on Hasbro. "

Quote :

"Hasbro has decided enough is enough and has thinks it is best to sue the India-based brothers behind the Facebook phenomenon, Scrabulous. The owners to the rights of Scrabble in the US are suing the brothers Rajat and Jayant Agarwalla for copyright infringement, and have fired a DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) to Facebook to take the game down. Face-booked Hasbro has grown tired of the game aping the design and rules of the popular letter-based game, and wants Facebook to act, while the site would prefer to just hold up its hands and say it doesn't have anything to do with it. There is still hope a settlement can be reached, but should the brothers survive the lawsuit, as seems likely, the chances are another game will be ready to fill the void as soon as the former goes down. Alternatively, Hasbro could just fill the game with Qs and Zs, thus destroying any hope of anyone ever playing properly again."

7/29/2008 8:39:10 AM

^^they had threatened but not filed; they just filed suit officially

^i noticed an ad yesterday that Scrabble actually launched its own application (\/ there it is). a friend of mine plays the email version of scrabulous, and that is still up and running.

"it's so easy to cheat with online Scrabble it is therefore unacceptable to play online"

totally kinda disagree. there are enough other factors that i wouldn't mind it being legal

unless, i guess, the online scrabble dictionaries have evolved into scripts or programs where you can track the board, enter your letters, and have it pop out the best possible word and the best possible spot on the board

ooo i should make scrabble bot, he would be unbeatable!

7/30/2008 4:38:16 PM

it would be an impressive script

considering all the possibilities in the middle of a game with the letters you have

fun to use when playing literati on yahoo..
update the board as you go and update your available letters....spits out the highest point word and shows you where to use it on the board
