Avernus Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) im not opposed to an occasional plug and play when facing a possible big score or when defense is needed but plug and play as a strategy defeats the purpose to me. exactly....I did it once, maybe twice against cap'n in our finale....the one time was when he used all of his tiles on a TW......I then focused on the other available TW and lucked into something.... using it as your game is boring, it's either you know the word or you don't...don't pusslyfoot around...

Avernus Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Are you saying that Irish is the only guy that puts letters on the board without knowing if it's a word? I think he is saying Irish is one of the people who plug and plays as a strategy...instead of when he can't find a word to play... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 What exactly is the skipped turn rule? still not sure....I have had a game end where me and another player both skip turns because we can't place our final tiles and it gives the person who has the higher score the victory....but that clearly did not happen here....and even then...I swapped tiles once, maybe twice in a row I think....the game made me furious even though it is just a game....

DMD Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 If there are three passes in a row, I think it calls the game no matter where you are at in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Well, after being put on "hold" for nearly 24 hours (due to too many other patients in/going into labor), we were finally able to go to the hospital this morning. It looks like we were meant to have a 4th of July baby... Should happen sometime this afternoon, hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like we were meant to have a 4th of July baby... Should happen sometime this afternoon, hopefully. Born on the 4th of July! Congrats! Right when it gets tense, you should remind the wife that it is her turn in the WWF game. Wouldn't that be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should name the child after some obscure WWF word like QAT or AIOLI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should name the child after some obscure WWF word like QAT or AIOLI. He could name her Velaria. I played that in one of my games. Do you guys have a name picked out already Gopher?

Gopher Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 My 21-month-old daughter named him about 3 weeks ago... Just out of the blue, she pointed at one of her extra sippy cups and said "Baby _______'s cup." Neither my wife or I have ever said the name to her, or have any idea where she might have heard it. We took it as a sign, I guess you could say... particularly since we both had no idea what we were going to name him, up until that point.

Not sure he is going to enjoy growing up with the name Zippy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irish Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Dug and I have split the first 2. I barely got by him in the first and he killed me in the other. Rubber match to be started by him whenever he sends it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Dug is ridiculously good! Plays defense better than anyone I've faced. He almost came back in the game I won because of his defense. I was up by about 100 and he almost pulled it out down the stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Mason Daniel was born at 2:55 PM yesterday. Labor actually went very quickly, once it started (he was born basically an hour after I last posted here yesterday). Mom and baby are fine, and coming home tomorrow morning. Definitely a unique experience, having a baby on the 4th... the hospital was ominously quiet, almost as if we had the place to ourselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
