could someone tell me why for the past few days my daily babble comes on screen with 2 tiles missing/blanl. refreshing does not seem to bring them back, thanks H

2:16 am

ursh

hmmm and if you close altogether and go back in ?

2:18 am

helenary

yes I tried that.. but every day for past 4 days..i work from lickety list..also have rebooted computer...

2:20 am

ursh

odd - i checked the grid on lickety and all tiles are there

2:22 am

helenary

i'll log out and try again if not I am bushed.

2:31 am

rbud

older computer? I had to get a new video card for one I had - it worked better for a while, before it blew up completely, haha.

2:36 am

helenary

no a new computer

2:39 am

rbud

oh, I see. Maybe it's just not quite right yet. I don't know much about them, really. Mine used to do that to me, seemed like maybe when the rest of the people living here were hogging internet. Not enough to go around? I always wondered.

2:40 am

rbud

I mean, I just got more lag and slow'poor loading when more people were on.

5:46 am

7:52 am

Scrabbler

Aha, I shall type lw4 without looking at the grid.

7:53 am

HarryHood

7:53 am

Scrabbler

Great timing, HH.

10:08 am

MLFAN17

10:08 am

MLFAN17

10:08 am

MLFAN17

10:08 am

10:09 am

hurshy

10:09 am

MLFAN17

pen and i have one word from corner a we havent found yet

10:09 am

penquis

four left from the left column A....

10:09 am

MLFAN17

and i have 8 to find from first column a

10:11 am

hurshy

there are at least 3 ao words

10:12 am

MLFAN17

and i think the are from first column most but one that pen and i know of comes from corner a

10:12 am

penquis

ty, hursh....

10:12 am

hurshy

so you're saying that someone else told you that there is an ao word that comes from the corner, did i understand that correctly?

10:13 am

penquis

my one AO word comes from the left side A....

10:14 am

hurshy

all three that i have come from the left

10:14 am

MLFAN17

i just found ao6 from the first column

10:14 am

hurshy

one is a greek case in linguistics so that's a little hard

10:14 am

hurshy

i just get it because i took some greek in college

10:14 am

MLFAN17

pen one ao word from last column a that i know of

10:14 am

penquis

i found two more AO words from the left A...

10:15 am

hurshy

so how do you know that MLF?

10:16 am

hurshy

ok you can add a "person who" ending to the singing voice from the corner A in order to create an al7

10:16 am

MLFAN17

its the only one pen and i have found from the last column so far the other one is from the opposite

10:16 am

penquis

ah, yes...ty, hursh...

10:17 am

hurshy

that is just incorrect, they all come from the left.

10:17 am

MLFAN17

AH ty hurshy corner a done!

10:17 am

penquis

my other AO word, MLF, was from the left side A when we were talking about AO words....

10:17 am

rururocks

<--- finished the r's.. smug look

10:17 am

MLFAN17

congrats ruru

10:18 am

hurshy

i'm having severe trouble with C

10:18 am

MLFAN17

i still only have 2 c words

10:19 am

hurshy

ok not that severe, but still...

10:19 am

MollyL

That would make C's constipated for Hurshy

10:19 am

hurshy

and confounding

10:19 am

MLFAN17

i have a 4 and a 6

10:19 am

hurshy

and a conundrum

10:20 am

MLFAN17

found two more

10:20 am

MLFAN17

6 so far

10:21 am

penquis

i have 14 but didn't get anywhere after the last one i found....

10:21 am

origami

Good morning

10:21 am

MollyL

It must be an off day for Ru. He said nothing about this..."it's always weird to come in on people who are almost done when you've just started"

10:21 am

MLFAN17

good morning origami

10:22 am

penquis

10:23 am

origami

good luck with that, ru

10:23 am

hurshy

to set a good example for your dog?

10:24 am

origami

His dog is better behaved than he is, hursh :D

10:24 am

rururocks

a lot cuter too

10:24 am

hurshy

well that goes without saying. it's hard to be cute without FUR

10:24 am

rururocks

tired

10:25 am

rururocks

oops.. so sorry

10:25 am

origami

Yeah, me too :D

10:25 am

hurshy

why did i think criolet was a word? something is that rhymes with violet

10:25 am

penquis

10:26 am

hurshy

10:26 am

hurshy

10:28 am

10:28 am

hurshy

10:29 am

penquis

10:29 am

penquis

10:29 am

hurshy

ttfn pen

10:29 am

origami

bye, pen

10:30 am

MLFAN17

this site is giving me probs

10:32 am

rururocks

is your new furniture arriving today ori? :D

10:32 am

hurshy

new furniture? how exciting

10:34 am

origami

My new dog gnawed on the wood backing of my upholstered club chair. No new furniture until he has been whipped into shape :D

10:34 am

hurshy

ohhh silly doggo

10:36 am

origami

Evil hell-hound more like :D

10:36 am

hurshy

ugh i just hate 19/23 but i can't find one more C word

10:38 am

hokie carla

I only have 12/23

10:39 am

hokie carla

haven't finished my first pass though

10:39 am

rururocks

you've heard of the hound of the baskervilles, this is the hound of the basketcases :D

10:39 am

hurshy

oh and cerise is another phantom

10:39 am

hokie carla

but I did move on from C

10:41 am

origami

An apt description, ru

10:41 am

rururocks

his saving grace is that he's cute as hell

10:41 am

hokie carla

I think that saves a lot of dogs and kids

10:43 am

origami

He is and he's very sweet.

10:45 am

hurshy

and now we come to the "why does that re- count but not this re-?" portion of the day

10:46 am

hurshy

which is particularly maddening when you just need one more R

10:47 am

hurshy

hey, truncheon is almost there again today, that was almost there in another recent grid too

10:51 am

MollyL

And this is something you remember because...

10:52 am

hurshy

because it's an interesting word

10:52 am

hokie carla

yeah, redeal is absolutely a thing

10:53 am

hurshy

and reworn

10:53 am

hokie carla

yes

10:53 am

hurshy

i mean the fashion police are horrified when a celebrity wears the same clothing twice

10:53 am

hurshy

which is really bad

10:55 am

hurshy

i see the lw words are rearing their ugly heads again

10:55 am

MollyL

And we must always comment on them when they are here. Some things are so predictable in this place.
: D

10:56 am

hurshy

yes, we must, for the sake of people who might not notice them and will be glad that we have smoothed their path

10:56 am

hokie carla

harry said earlier you've been playing the game too long when you automatically see angolan money

10:58 am

hokie carla

should we now complain about the acronym in the grid when others aren't accepted?

10:58 am

MollyL

Oh lets

10:58 am

Kaplan the Magne

awer

10:58 am

Kaplan the Magne

;awd

10:59 am

hokie carla

kaplan, I try awer literally every day it seems

10:59 am

MollyL

You just wish you were one
: P

10:59 am

72 Temple Owl

lol tu7/32

10:59 am

hokie carla

I'm sure I awe all kinds of people here

11:00 am

hokie carla

can you elaborate, TO? I don't have one yet

11:00 am

hurshy

i have a tu7/32 but it is not lol worthy, does that mean i'm missing another?

11:01 am

MollyL

Oh you just might be

11:04 am

MollyL

I'm not really sure what is funny about either one though

11:04 am

hokie carla

I can't find either one. is that funny?

11:04 am

hurshy

well mine's just castle towers

11:04 am

MollyL

Well that will give you one Carla

11:05 am

72 Temple Owl

it is funny that i typed it as a joke and it worked. enable.

11:05 am

hokie carla

I thought that was just a phantom. just another time I should type stuff in.

11:05 am

72 Temple Owl

i know. i do that all the time, not as if we're penalized for wrong guesses

11:06 am

MollyL

I was wondering why Diarrhea was funny

11:06 am

hurshy

thank heaven for that

11:06 am

hokie carla

yeah, not like in the old days of babble 1.0

11:06 am

72 Temple Owl

back to work

11:06 am

hokie carla

/trying to think of t word for diarrhea

11:06 am

hurshy

diarrhea is the other tu7?

11:06 am

MollyL

It would be a much more competitive game if you were penalized for wrong guesses

11:07 am

hurshy

it would be a much more STRESSFUL game too

11:07 am

72 Temple Owl

sometimes i play that way, how long i can go without a wrong guess

11:07 am

MollyL

No, you would just play differently

11:08 am

hokie carla

true

11:08 am

72 Temple Owl

yes, if you lost points for wrong guesses it would certainly change things.

11:09 am

MollyL

The race to finish first at the flip would certainly change

11:10 am

ItalianGreyhound

If you use the list for every word, you could probably be perfect

11:11 am

hokie carla

you would definitely go to the list much sooner

11:11 am

hurshy

the list isn't ready at the flip tho

11:11 am

hokie carla

not long after though

11:12 am

ItalianGreyhound

ive never seen the flip - what time ?

11:12 am

BzznBea

Let's see if this got any easier while I was away?

11:12 am

hokie carla

babble 1.0 - no list and penalties for entering wrong words - if you go read the early chats, you can see how hard that was

11:12 am

hurshy

Midnight Central time in the US

11:12 am

ItalianGreyhound

Oh, I see the time over the grid - so in 12 hours

11:13 am

hokie carla

flip is 1am for me, so it's rough

11:13 am

ItalianGreyhound

thx, Hursh

11:13 am

72 Temple Owl

imagine when clue requests were few and far between, usually the last hour or so

11:14 am

hokie carla

yep, the game is wayyyy different now

11:14 am

hurshy

much like wheel of fortune

11:14 am

72 Temple Owl

and there were some clever cluers, witty

11:14 am

BzznBea

I would like to go back to the day clue requests were fewer.

11:14 am

72 Temple Owl

lol carla

11:14 am

hurshy

i remember when they had that big rotating platform from which players would choose prizes with the money they had won

11:14 am

origami

There was a time when you were penalized for entering wrong words?

11:15 am

hokie carla

yeah, when the game first started

11:15 am

72 Temple Owl

lol i can just imagine someone dropping in and reading that. heads would explode

11:16 am

MollyL

I agree with Bea. Chat is like an all day cluefest these days.

11:16 am

72 Temple Owl

if they thought that was babble

11:16 am

hokie carla

yeah, the early players considered a lot of commonplace things today cheating

11:17 am

origami

I find it annoying when someone comes on and asks for multiple clues for multiple words and complains when they don't understand the clue given.

11:17 am

MollyL

What? Like or + re4...giving 4 letters of a 6 letter word. Not cheating, but really awful cluing

11:18 am

hurshy

yeah if someone doesn't understand my clue i'm like, sorry to hear that. not going to feel obligated to keep coming up with more clues if i don't want to.

11:18 am

MollyL

I find that annoying too Origami. I refer to it as clue begging. The complaining that they don't understand is just rude.

11:19 am

mael

I don't mind giving clues, but I try to make them non-obvious.

11:19 am

BzznBea

<-----Thus my new icon...

11:19 am

origami

Funny, Bea :D

11:19 am

mael

clever clues are one of my favorite parts of babble

11:20 am

MollyL

And then there are those who feel obligated to clue blurt (so you know they are a smarty pants and already found the word)

11:20 am

mael

but I tend to go as far as I can without a list or even reading the chat, so it doesn't bother me

I've heard you refer to them, Molly, as "clue blurters," which sounds like a medical disorder. "Oh, no!! It's a terrible case of clueblurters." :D

11:21 am

MollyL

It is, it's similar to Tourette's
: D

11:21 am

mael

oh man, I totally brag about finding long words if they jump out at me right away. But that's because it doesn't happen often. :) but then I don't clue it, just say I found the 11, yay or whatever

11:22 am

BzznBea

Unfortunately, those who are the most offensive will not understand we are talking about them.

11:23 am

MollyL

People used to call you out if you gave anything less than a clever clue. I remember Jillibus nailing me once. Good for her, I learned from it.

11:23 am

hurshy

but, there is always a lot of grace-extending necessary in any community, because people will always have differences that bother each other

11:24 am

MollyL

And don't get me started on the chair letter, cross letter, roundy letter clues.

11:24 am

hurshy

well yeah those are most annoying

11:25 am

BzznBea

snake letter

11:25 am

MollyL

Double hump letter

11:27 am

MollyL

There is a difference between extending grace and enabling. There is a lot of enabling that goes on here.

11:28 am

dizgrannie

but what about when I clue lw 4 and 5 just for fun?

11:29 am

hurshy

personally i think it makes sense to MENTION the oddball ones in chat because there will always be newbies who would never think of that

11:32 am

MollyL

It is a matter of perception I guess. What if there are new people who are trying to do what the game says and "find the most words that YOU can find"?

11:33 am

dizgrannie

I'd say 'turn off the chat'

11:34 am

MollyL

Origami, clueblurters is a lot like the golbloots from I Love Lucy

11:35 am

rururocks

i love doing clever clues

11:35 am

MollyL

A lot of people do play with the chat turned off these days.

11:35 am

rururocks

what's amazing is most of the time people get them

11:35 am

dizgrannie

In saying that, I enjoy being at the flip when peeps say is 8 and I frantically try to find it...LOL

11:35 am

Shirlockc

i do love how there are sympatico brains here

11:36 am

MollyL

If I was a person who asked for clues, I would rather get a clever clue than one that basically spells out the word

11:36 am

hurshy

yeah, most of us prefer clever clues

11:37 am

MollyL

Frantic is a good word to describe the flip

11:37 am

rururocks

like ask me for a clue for the pe6/24

11:37 am

origami

Oh, I remember that, Molly :D

11:37 am

MollyL

Ru, what is a clue for pe6/24

11:37 am

rururocks

a person who molests bike parts pe 6

11:38 am

origami

I enjoy that also diz. But, random cluing in the chat annoys me.

11:39 am

hurshy

lol thanks ru

11:39 am

rururocks

see what i mean ? :D

11:39 am

BzznBea

I always wondered what that word meant. =)

11:39 am

Shirlockc

i think i'm spelling that pe6 word wrong

11:39 am

I hardly have anything this year. I broke my arm just when I should have been planting, so didn't get much in.

It was a community garden on city property. We have tried to talk them into other properties around the city, but they want to sell to property management comps.

How is your arm doing?

Pretty much healed. Still need to baby it a little. It's been almost 4 months now.

3:42 pm

BzznBea

Good.

3:45 pm
