W0RD WARRI0R

[hivefleetcollossus]

Welcome to the first of many Word Warrior challenges.
This game can be played by 2-4 players, of which I am none.

Each letter has a predetermined point value to be added up in each answer, governing the overall points gained that turn.
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q .R S T U V W X .Y Z
1 .3 3 2 .1 4 2 .4 1 8 .5.1 .3 .1 .1 .3 10 1 .1 .1 .1 .4 .4 .8 4 10
I'll ration out seven tiles to each player (via PM) at the beginning, & replenish them as needed (via PM) throughout the match.
The first person to arrange their letters to spell an acceptable English word, & PM it to the judge (me) will receive a double word score for their initiative.

The players are then placed randomly around the game board.
I'll post it when we've started. No point now. Play continues clockwise.

Traditionally, blank tiles are of no point value what-so-ever.
However, my house rule is points are granted for whatever it is used as.
A blank tile represents the letter it is first played as for the remainder of the game.

A circle confers a point value multiplier to the letter residing in the same space as it.
Diamonds confer a point value multiplier to whole words. After all letters & bonuses (save BINGO) are added.
Single line, double line & triple line bonus markers confer a double, triple & even quadruple multiplier respectively.
Should a word land on multiple word score bonus spaces, only the largest one will be used. There will be no double dipping.
In the event a player manages to play all seven tiles (BINGO) in their possession, a fifty point reward is bestowed unto them. Shall we begin?

[Dangeresque]

W4A1H4E1Y4!

[Enigma]

Well I'm in then.

[Alta]

This looks fun, go on then...
Sign me up!

[Hyper Kinetic]

I'll try to be on as much as I can.
Count me in.

[Dangeresque]

The gang's all here. Well then, may the best person of questionable tangibility win!

Beep boop...

[Enigma]

So, this is gonna be like hyper-internet-awesome scrabble right? With guns, right? And Lasers right? I love laser-security-infiltration scrabble...

If everyone's here, I assume we'll start soon I guess. May the best man come in second place after me!

[hivefleetcollossus]

I've drawn your letters but before I PM them, I want to add a little more to my rules list.

If a player cannot make a word, or doesn't like their tiles, they may elect to exchange zero to all seven of them.
Doing so enables more options to open up, but don't get the wrong idea, the tile exchange is in place of your turn.

The games nears it's end when all the tiles have been drawn. Play continues until nobody can play a word anymore.
The tiles leftover in each players possession then count against their overall score by their (collective) place values I've assigned at the top of the page.

Words starting with capital letters, plurals, contractions, foreign, abbreviated, obsolete, poetic, slang, archaic & dialect words aren't allowed. Sound good?

**Also if you hate the letters you are getting you can request to switch the hand of fate, in which case, my GF will draw your tiles for the remainder of the game.

[hivefleetcollossus]

Alta was the first to provide a word. A 9 pointer, doubled is 18 points.

Good start! Now to seat the others.

*Rolls dice*

Here is the order I rolled.
After Alta: We have a Hyper Kinetic up next, followed by Enigma, then lastly but not leastly, Dangeresque.

[Enigma]

Oh man, this is like scrabble but online, red and awesome.

Nice word there by the way. I'm still gon' win though. Obviously. Now, is there going to be a score counter under the board?

[hivefleetcollossus]

Nah, I'll just add your scores next to your names in the first post, that way they are all in one place.
That's later though, so far I'll I have to remember is the number 18, for Alta.

@the Julio & Hellbreaker: We needn't wait until all the tiles are gone, just half of them.
So you don't have to wait a whole game, just a half of one. Then I'll start up the second one.

[Dangeresque]

Ah! I can't wait for my turn!

May I suggest putting the board in the first post, then updating it as it comes? Can't really go wrong and no image clutter!

[hivefleetcollossus]

For the sake of proceeding, I will add Hypers word for him.
I have a feeling he'll be on more once he sees we've started, at least I hope so.
Should we cycle around to him again & still hear nothing back- I'll start taking alternates from the round 2 group.
Ok, I've added his word, Thine. It's eight points, but he landed on two double letter scores, so he is awarded a total of ten.

[hivefleetcollossus]

Ok, Enigma's word is: Gay
Leaving the board saying "Uncage thine gay."
His entry ended on a triple letter score. A total of 15 points.

[Enigma]

Uncage Thine Hotter Gay? My my my, I love this game already .
