Yeah, TWO, way to draw that to the attention of your Tribemates!

Yeah, today has not been my day...

Anyway, it's my responsibility. Can't really avoid what is bound to happen.

*Very frustrated*

Mewrio, coarse language is allowed, since the only really coarse words I can think of cannot be made with those letters anyway..

BTW, I'm very impressed with some of the big words I'm seeing! Wow!

I'm gonna have a big job ahead of me when this is done!

So Jeremy the longer the word the better, right? Okay good. I came up with a few long ones.

Not necissarily! 5 three-letter-words are better than two 6-letter-words. But some of those long words are really rare. I'll have to get out my Scrabble dictionary to score this one!

BTW, did anyone figure out what the game was going to be from the clues in the Tree Mail? "boggle," get it? :biggrin:

Well it should be the more rare of a word the more points you get.

Also do you just ignore the duplicate words? Or do you take points away for duplicates?

It also seems that now, they're just repeating them all over again.

Apparantly not...Driew asked to sit out because he thought the game would be NAMES not NAME. He didn't think he'd help :biggrin:

Yes, well I'm glad no one listened to me since I'd feel really stupid having all these good words, and not being able to use them.

I've been thinking on this a bit and I may decide to quit Survivor. It's not that I don't like the game. Far from it. Bruce is doing a wonderful job as host. However, I have severly failed my responsibility as a Poodle this Immunity Challenge, and with Mid-Terms looming (Math tomorrow!), I just can't imagine how I'll be able to stretch my resources between this game and studies.

I have not decided yet, but I'm leaning in that direction.

Driew, YES, I will just ignore duplicate words. They will NOT count against your score. The only thing that will count against your score is misspelled words, made-up words, and too many extraneous comments (Patti and Kevbo, don't worry! I won't take off points for yours unless they continue.

). Also, proper nouns, slang words, and Non-English words will not be counted, but they will not affect your score either. My reasoning for this is that sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between those types of words and regular words, especially when rushing. But that's not an excuse for poor spelling!
