i wish Dr. God would go back to charging a fee for this game
12:28 am
cybernan

100 and stuck
12:28 am
Aloyisius

wtg, ru .. wait.. no fee?
12:30 am
rururocks

no aloy he stopped charging a fee a long time ago.. he felt millenials wouldn't pay for it
12:31 am
Aloyisius

didn't know that
12:31 am
rururocks

so we're left with newbies all the time who usually don't stick around and then some bitter people with multiple identities who create players to stir up trouble
12:32 am
justafreep

I guess I started before there was a fee
12:33 am
Aloyisius

h'mm, well the fee was modest and I sure feel like it was worth it
12:33 am
cybernan

there was a fee to go pro when I joined in 2005
12:33 am
rururocks

same here nan
12:33 am
cybernan

just realized I've been doing this almost every day for 15 years!
12:33 am
justafreep

Gotta dash. Night all (he says as he goes and signs in as frustajeep to reek some havoc)
12:33 am
Aloyisius

just checked.. 2005 for me too
12:33 am
ursh

I also paid to go pro
12:34 am
cybernan

It was $10 at first, then went up to $15 I think
12:34 am
Aloyisius

sleep well, freep
12:34 am
justafreep

March 2006 for me. To y'all, I'm a newbie!
12:34 am

I love how many long time babblers still play, I had no idea there isn't a fee anymore though. I am trying to get a few of my friends to join but with young kids and covid life it can be hard to make the time.
6:46 am
Sugrraleona

Hi, where do you all see the year you joined? LOL
6:50 am
bojazz

It's in your profile ... upper right corner..
6:54 am
mael

I remember the year I joined because it was right after my wedding :)
6:54 am
Sugrraleona

not in my profile bojazz - but, I think I've been playing since Dr. God created Babble LOL. I paid to play years and years ago and totally worth it.
6:55 am
mael

it is, you've been a member since October 18, 2011 Sugrraleona :)
6:55 am
mael

it has the be the public profile, not your account page
6:55 am
Sugrraleona

aha - LOL thanks Mael :)
6:56 am

Oh, and Happy Anniversary to me LOL

hokie carla

howdy y'all
7:31 am
hokie carla

as some of you know I've been reading the chat archives some. I think peri is the earliest playing current chatter.
7:33 am
hokie carla

also when he first added the rankings it was very competitive, not cooperative like today. and they would have definitely accused moo of being a cheater.
7:34 am
hokie carla

the players had no idea until the next day how many total words there were, much less the stats as we know them today.
7:35 am
MollyL

And Peri's sister, Marigold, although she rarely chats.
7:36 am
MollyL

And anyone who plays at the flip knows that there is still some "competitive" here.
: D
7:36 am
hokie carla

there was another name I recognized but I'm drawing a blank right now. but even when Peri started the game had changed more to current status.
7:37 am
hokie carla

those people mean business for sure
7:38 am
hokie carla

and I just found the 8 without trying. love it when that happens. :D
7:40 am
BzznBea

Morning, friends.
7:40 am
BzznBea

Great info, Carla.
7:42 am
hokie carla

they also considered trial and error cheating, and at one point Dr. God talked about putting a cap on the number of wrong entries
7:42 am
hokie carla

hi bea!
7:43 am
hokie carla

ooh, F finished!
7:43 am
BzznBea

I'm glad he did do that.
7:44 am
hokie carla

I would definitely hit that cap daily
7:44 am
BzznBea

Most of us would.
7:44 am
welki

'morning
7:44 am
BzznBea

Hello, welki.
7:45 am
Sam

Don't kill the monkeys!
7:45 am
hokie carla

he also started with scrabble dictionary but it only had max 8 letter words, so he was looking for another dictionary, oh, here's this enable list, I'll try that. hehehe.
7:45 am
hokie carla

hey welki
7:46 am
hokie carla

hey sam
7:46 am
BzznBea

Aha! So that's how we got the crazy enable. Interesting

7:49 am
Sam

For the record, I joined in 2005 and paid $14 to go pro.
7:50 am
hokie carla

I joined the day after you and I thought I paid $10
7:50 am
hokie carla

but I thought we'd been playing a little while before he added the pro option
7:50 am
welki

i'm a latecomer, joined in 2009 and paid $14.95 USD
7:51 am
hokie carla

I also joined his iron sudoku, maybe that was $10
7:51 am
hokie carla

I love how you can remember the exact amount, welki. what was the exchange rate? ;)
7:52 am
BzznBea

How long has Expert been around?
7:52 am
Uniquity

I joined in 2006 and was sponsored by Atalante (I believe) to go pro because I didn't have a credit card. Or money, really, ha. A long time ago!
7:52 am
hokie carla

I don't know anything about expert. I think someone else made that.
7:53 am
hokie carla

ah yes, atalante was the earliest current chatter I saw!
7:53 am
hokie carla

I just need 1 T to finish top row! this one is going pretty fast for a small one.
7:53 am
Sam

Not sure exactly when Lickety made Expert, but I spend quite a bit of time helping him beta test it. In fact, it's my recollection that I convinced him to do it in the first place, but that might be ego talking.
7:54 am
hokie carla

I do remember when Lickety introduced his list how awesome that was.
7:55 am
welki

yeah, not sure why i remember the exact amount - but it would have come out to something like $784.34 CD
7:55 am
hokie carla

hahaha
7:55 am
Sam

I was frustrated having to put each word in Lickety separately, so I browbeat him into the Bulk Add thing. Expert naturally followed.
7:56 am
BzznBea

I cleared the bottom row T, Carla, but not that top row. We probably need the same word.
7:56 am
hokie carla

yeah, I remember the bulk add came later. thank you for browbeating him!
7:56 am
hokie carla

probably, bea
7:56 am
welki

still, even with all the complaining i hear, it's been good bang for the buck
7:56 am
Uniquity

Expert was very helpful for me learning babblets and finishing grids.
7:57 am
hokie carla

well, I bet some of the complainers didn't pay anything. is pro even still an option?
7:58 am
BzznBea

I found my last top T. It was ta4.8
7:58 am
hokie carla

thank you, bea. top row gray!
7:58 am
hokie carla

now just one T to finish 2nd row...
7:59 am

2nd row gray!
8:05 am
hokie carla

3rd row didn't go as well...moving on!
8:06 am
hokie carla

ooh, finished the 7s!
8:06 am
MollyL

Interesting that Dr. God thought of putting a limit on trial and error entries. When you think about it, randomly typing combinations over and over again is not really "finding" words.
8:07 am
hokie carla

yeah, everyone at the time really had a problem with people doing that, that if they didn't actually know the word they were cheating
8:07 am
hokie carla

phantom sneak
8:08 am
BzznBea

Was it the K or the A causing trouble in the third row, Carla?
8:08 am
MollyL

Technically, any word you don't find on your own is "cheating". The whole point of the game, as described, is "find as many words as YOU can..."
8:08 am
hokie carla

yep
8:10 am
hokie carla

it was about a year in before someone said "this isn't a competition" and chastised someone else for not being kumbayah enough
8:11 am
72 Temple Owl

there was a list before lickety. a player from canada, brandy jack, created it
8:11 am
Uniquity

I feel very much that anyone should play the game with whatever restrictions or assistance they desire. I;m a fan of assistance for myself, though I set some rules sometimes. I have finished very few grids without some sort of help.
8:12 am
hokie carla

yeah, someone before brandyjack wrote a script that gave the words and they posted it in the chat and people reposted throughout the day. then that player kinda disappeared and brandyjack started doing it.
8:13 am
BzznBea

I think there are very few people playing that can finish the grid without help sometime or another.
8:14 am
hokie carla

I agree, play however you want, I'm just reporting on how the game started out.
8:14 am
hokie carla

the origin story :D
8:14 am
Uniquity

I don't remember the pre brandy jack stuff, I was around regularly from 2006-2010 but not much in the last decade.
8:15 am
Uniquity

This used to be 'chat room' of choice. Many fond memories. Sometimes chatting for hours and entering no words.I used to love cluing and getting really clever clues.
8:15 am
hokie carla

yeah, I quit for quite a few years, uniquity ,and just came back a year or two ago.
8:15 am
Uniquity

Sorry, MY chat room of choice, ha. My typing errors remain. Maybe worse after so long using my cell phone.
8:19 am

I had to have a bit of help from Lickety to complete this one today.
8:22 am

Sorry “is”

Babblet is a word that is kind of weird, but common in Babble. ie: Etna, nene, etc.
9:08 am

So they are real words
9:08 am

Yes, Fr/cat.

Molly, to answer your earlier question...not exactly. chat started early Oct. '03. it wasn't as" happening" early on as it is now. some days were just a couple of comments. most days it all fit on one screen. when it started getting busier, I did a lot of scrolling/skimming to see if Dr. God said anything because I was trying to find when he added the stats.and I only got through to end of Aug. '05.
9:33 am

wow, I still couldn't see that se6 but just typed it anyway

Lots of legitimate words are not included in the Enable Word List. Their criteria for inclusion makes no sense whatsoever.

10:27 am
moolingwa

As far as I know, the criteria for inclusion is that it appears in one of the six us collegiate dictionaries...though they may extend beyond that. So it would come down to what does the dictionary publisher use as criteria, and it probably varies a little between each one.
10:33 am
MollyL

The problem is that the Enable List has not been updated in 20 years.
10:58 am

11:02 am

Why have I read that Enable has not been updated since 2000?
11:03 am
hurshy

ooh i got another of those, just one of those now
11:03 am
hurshy

well you may have read it, but, not everything one reads is true, the writer you read may have been mistaken
11:04 am
hurshy

i have no information on the status of Enable, myself, that came from anywhere other than the babble chog
11:04 am
MollyL

"The initial version of ENABLE was released in the fall of 1997, and was updated with a "millennium edition" in April 2000."
11:04 am
hurshy

but does that necessarily mean it has NOT been updated again?
11:05 am
hurshy

or is this one of those things where 2000 doesn't feel like 20 years ago to moo? (same here)
11:05 am
moolingwa

Yeah, I was told that it had been updated since then, but looks like you're right Molly

I only have 55 left, all the number tiles have at leats 2 (except for the 8 which has one) (so does that mean NBS or NBT, I can never get them straight)? But I don't have a single A from the middle of the last column. Help!
12:18 pm
dan2bit

nbt is "no blank tiles" - if you have at least one word from every tile under "Tile Stats" (except for 0/0 tiles)
nbs is "no blank stats" - if you have at least one word from every number under "Word Stats" (except for 0/0 numbers)
12:18 pm

OK, No one answered me so I took desperate measures. I looked in Morewords for the 1st 3. Hanging my head in shame.
12:19 pm

Thanks Dan. Don't know why I keep getting it mixed up but your explanation finally clears it up. The confusion came because they are both "Stats". Technically we should say NBT and NBW.
