Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an intergral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on it's evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Update For those wondering about the Scrabble Tournament:
So far hubby's doing about as well as he expected with this particular tournament...But I'm still praying he can at least break even (win half / lose half) or a little ahead. The tournament uses a different dictionary than he is used to paying, and he has been out of tournament play for a while
What is your opinion on bananagrams?
Getting a bit of a workout at our place these days...
I like it, so does my hubby.
I'm a huge Scrabble fan. Once I was playing with 3 others and didn't see how I could possibly win. The end was approaching. Then my turn came and eurika! I had a 7 letter word AND somewhere to put it! Not only did I get it out onto a triple word score, but added to 2 words already on the board. SHAMPOO saved the day :D
Bingos do save the day- especially triple word score ones! Just a heads up- He's playing Collins and was hoping not to lose rating points. So far, he has gained a few, and if he continues to play well he could gain more.
It was a total fluke and absolutely glorious!
Hope your hubby does well.
I love flukes like that. :)
