that upper right corner is useless
7:19 am
dicktrickle

what about adding a clock feature and keeping track of time spent on the site and words per minute?
11:24 am
monkeyrabbit

i think the ranking system should be modified. at present if you want a high ranking you need to play only the high scoring boards, whereas if you play every day you'll never get in the top ten.
the upper scoring limit for each board should be taken into account.
11:30 am
monkeyrabbit

for example, this board isn't going to be a big pointer and that'll put off people playing it. i'm not playing cos my ranking will go down. boring i know, but thats the way it is...
11:34 am
elhombre

i've noticed that too (i mean about high scoring boards and ranking points). i'm not sure if the clock idea is practical but it would be cool.
keep the ideas coming.

pjhenley

I'd say doing well on a puzzle like this one should be highly rewarded. Mr. Trickle?

hi pjhenley and MissPiggy
1:57 pm
themick

i think a time limit would be great 2 to 4 hours?
2:03 pm
Yecats

Not in favor of the clock feature (unless it's FYI only). I fit this in when time permits (sometimes on breaks at work!)--don't necessarily do it all in one shot...
2:44 pm
Bitty Wicked

This puzzle is sucky . . .
3:19 pm
Kimchi

I'm with Yecats, I do it as time permits. I didn't finish on Saturday (never got to T) but I guess I don't really look at the ranking averages, just yesterday's top people to see what I missed. :)
3:22 pm
Beeyotch

I'm with Kimchi et. al -- I look at it when I am compiling a program or something, take small breaks.... if I don't get time, it would suck to have a limit......
3:52 pm
kyde

I'm stuck at 43 words. Stupid x.
4:03 pm
tommyslax

he cometh!
4:18 pm
cattiva

how many points does everyone have?
4:19 pm
dicktrickle

No doubt, pj, no doubt.
I was thinking of the clock as culmulative of the time spent on the site throughout the day. That way, if you only have 20-30 mins to spend as opposed to 3-4 hrs to spend, it could be taken into effect. You could even have a pause button if you like to keep Babble running in the background but, of course, you couldn't enter any words at that point.

hi C-Rock & Bean
4:32 pm
cattiva

just got a 33 point word.. yay
4:34 pm
harold_ikes

whee
5:05 pm
Kimchi

If anyone has played Joggle (not nearly as good as this), their online pause hides the tiles...just a thought.
5:30 pm
Kimchi

43 for 497...but nothing starting with S. That can't be right.
5:48 pm
cattiva

has anyone used that x yet?

thisis my first time here... i have 21 and 236... not so good.. grrr
5:49 pm
harold_ikes

no x. nothing beginning with s. this puzzle blowzzz
5:51 pm
cattiva

i got a wrd that started with s
5:55 pm
harold_ikes

me too...ok, ONE word starting with s. .. :(
5:57 pm
Yecats

Me too but I didn't get it until cattiva said there was one. Isn't that funny how that happens?
7:20 pm
kyde

I have some that start with s that I found by randomly guessing. It feels cheap.
7:41 pm
Kimchi

Guessed my way to an S word...I'm done!
7:42 pm
Kimchi

Nothing with the X, but I have two 33s and a 36. Anybody hit a 40 pointer?
7:50 pm
Fantasy

hi lizzie
8:28 pm
Yecats

Cheap or not, I'd take it...can't get past 43 words.
8:30 pm
Yecats

Ha! Just as I was giving up, another "s" word. Then there were two...
8:46 pm
horsecack

20 and 30 nothing higher and nothing with an S. oh well
9:42 pm
pjhenley

If everyone pitches in, I think we can have more comments than there are words.
9:46 pm
pjhenley

Superbowl predictions anyone? Mr. Trickle?
9:54 pm
dicktrickle

Patriots 38
Panthers 2

Despite a 31-0 advantage, Belichick tells punter Ken Walter to take an intentional safety rather than attempt a punt. The gambit pays off as the Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi intercepts a pass and returns the ball for the game's final touchdown. When asked why he felt the need to embarass Carolina even further, Bruschi replies, "I didn't do it on purpose. I'm just so accustomed to returning interceptions for touchdowns. I didn't know what else to do."
9:54 pm
dicktrickle

has anyone broken 600?
10:06 pm
pjhenley

I'm predicting that due to scheduling confusion, the rodeo shows up just before kickoff. The bulls get loose and gore both teams' quarterbacks. Final: Panthers 4, Patriots 2. Sorry dick, I was going for the Colts.
10:11 pm
dicktrickle

well, that one worked out well, didn't it, dick?
10:11 pm
pjhenley

I'm over 600. Keep missing obvious ones, have lots of bogus ones.
10:13 pm
pjhenley

Yes, I was rather disappointed. Such is life. At least Carolina won, otherwise I was going to boycot.
10:15 pm
dicktrickle

sucker
10:21 pm
pjhenley

How about that pennant race?
10:24 pm
dicktrickle

last time i checked, the Sox were in first place
10:26 pm
pjhenley

Wouldn't it be great if they actually made it to the World Series someday? Of course, then they'd lose. No, maybe it's better this way.
10:27 pm
pjhenley

Just to change the subject, Barbara Walters is retiring.
10:34 pm
pjhenley

Eminem's mom got carjacked? The Onion should pick up some of these stories.
10:41 pm
dicktrickle

still haven't beaten my word count quite yet
10:56 pm
pjhenley

Well say somethin' then. For instance, what's cooler than being cool?
10:57 pm
Fantasy

pj is over 600, huh? So am I, I wonder how many others are. . . I can't take the boggle pressure and must stay up until the end to see who won!! I was also going for the Colts and am now cheering for the Panthers.

ICE COLD!

Sorry, couldn't resist.
11:02 pm
dicktrickle

alright, alright, alright, alright, okay now, ladies!
Yeah?
We gonna break this thing down.
Don't have me break this thing down for nothing. I wanna see y'all on y'all's baddest behavior.
Lend me some sugar, I am your neighbor.
11:16 pm
pjhenley

I can wait for tomorrow. I'm going to bed.
