'Words with Friends' Super Cup - Draw, Rules, Fixtures and Results Thread

[Simster]

Best and closest game I have had so far playing WWF

Yep, me also.

 

[Easy 10]

My match with with Bozza was fairly cut and thrust until he SMASHED me with that 105 points for Quay. I never recovered from that. No disgrace being beaten 312-446 though, looking forward to a rematch (I'll get this first round of games finished up with the others bods first).

 

[binky]

Let's be clear - there were a few words you pulled out that I'd never heard of before and I called "cheat" and to your credit you 'fessed up. You were undoubtedly one of the better people I've played and I know why now.

That is somewhat twisting the events as they occured.
You didn't call me a cheat... I messaged YOU to TELL you I had found the interesting word in the dictionary. Hardly the actions of a guilty person, and hardly a "confession".
While there are no "official" WWF rules, the majority of sites which I trawled mentioned the unenforcability of a "closed book" rule, leading to a convention whereby messages are exchanged at the start of play if you want to stipulate a closed book honour system. This seemed to me to be sensible, but not something which we did.
It is clear that the concensus of people on this board are that this challenge should be conducted without reference aids.
That is how I am playing.

However you are calling me a cheat NOW, with no basis for the accusation casting aspersions on my current games.
When I saw your post on NSC, I offered to forfeit the game we were playing, and rematch with a closed book rule, but you (metaphorically) stalked of in a huff.
You have impugned my honour.
Do you want a rematch now? or wait until we meet in the league?

 

[Easy 10]

Oooh, we have a proper GRUDGE match already

Two pm's have been sent to Danwa08/bangonthemoney, but last activity was four days ago... I'd rather not kick him out of the tournament, so I'll wait a little bit longer.

 

[Notters]

Relatively relaxed as a people like Easy 10 have to play away from work and he has a family to sort out, but no more than a week for the group stage?

That's a bit tight for all those matches!

Give them another couple of days and if no answer, get involved again yourself (plus one other if required).

 

[Bozza]

(somewhat sadly) I've played many thousands of WwF games and there hasn't been a single one where someone has said to me "are we going to use dictionaries?" Not one.

I may not have said "you're cheating there" but I did say something like "that's one he'll of a word, where did you get that from?", which is a polite way of saying "I don't think you came up with that by yourself." You admitted that you'd used a book and that it "kept the game flowing."

I accept your explanation as to why you thought this was the done thing even though, as I say, I've not come across this discussion with any other opponent. And I'm not saying you are still playing in the same way - simply how would I know?

I'll be all over it like a tramp on chips tonight. My games are rattling along, no probs finishing them this week (on my part anyway).

 

[Bozza]

You can have all 12, or whatever, on the go at the same time if you need to.

 

[Titanic]

Ultiali just managed to play 'yid'... strangely it does not allow 'jew' ??

 

[Barrel of Fun]

No news from Group B?

That's a bit tight for all those matches!

It's quite relaxed - there will be no forfeits for games lasting a bit longer.

Give them another couple of days and if no answer, get involved again yourself (plus one other if required).

Will do.

Fair point, I'll do that. I may need to cancel somenon-league games.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

No news from Group B?

Rest assured Group B is well underway, I'm involved in 5 matches at the moment and expect to post a losing result tonight. BHAbloke is beating me 347-336 with 3 letters remaining....

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Ps Could you please put group letter with your result. It would make it slightly easier.

Your timeline is still wrong. You are saying you called it before I volunteered the information.
This is important to me because you are implying that my motives were to cheat you.
I suggest you check back on the order of the messaging of that game.
