What the hell is going on with Lexulous?

There’s a notice that changes are being made, but if so, then why not just shut down for a few hours? Right now I’ve got a game with B’Elana in which she has a different looking board than I do.  And in other games I’m not getting the right amount added to my score – a 20 point word gave me 10 points and I only got 25 for a 35 point word.  Plus there is one game in which I have 8 tiles. WTF?

May I suggest to my Lexulous pals that we wait until all of these changes have been made and then start new games? Boy, I hope they have this fixed by the weekend, since I won’t be going to Málaga…

hanging out

hanging-out

Well, it’s a beautiful morning here … watched the sun come up about an hour ago, all apricot coloured on the horizon. Nog’s gone to the cafeteria to have brekky and then he’ll head home to shower, snibble the boys and probably make a few sandwiches for today. Although my op is scheduled for 3 o’clock it could really happen anytime after 11, so Nog wants to get back here by then.

The Team should be here soon for a quick visit (mostly to reassure me – they know how nervous I get). Then I’ll shower while my bedsheets are changed and after that just hang out, waiting for THEM to come and get me.

Hope I’ll be back soon. Or even just back (eep!) …

You’re probably getting a bit tired of sending best wishes, etc, so random chat would be just fine.
What are you guys up to today? 🙂

no more scrabulous?

Facebook asked to pull Scrabulous

Facebook has been asked to remove the Scrabulous game from its website by the makers of Scrabble.
The Facebook add-on has proved hugely popular on the social network site and regularly racks up more than 500,000 daily users.
Lawyers for toy makers Hasbro and Mattel say Scrabulous infringes their copyright on the board-based word game.

This seems rather poopy of Hasbro and Mattel. I’d bet that out of those half a million daily users on Facebook, most of them already have the board game, or have since bought one as a result of Scrabulous.

I sure hope this won’t affect email Scrabulous! 😕
