sooooooo. you're saying it's me then.damn. i was hoping it was the game.
i just spent 5 hours with the bookworm. can you say addictive? and i must tell you my dear bear i am most impressed with you. that score in just 40 minutes!!!!!!! all i can say is WOW! i remain your humble servant.
p.s. i hope we've all figured out by now that my only problem with the arcade is addiction.
::modestly bows::
there's a trick about bookworm, too... once you learn how to quickly make those bonus words, you can get there very quickly (with some luck)

anyway. two serious questions now that i've quoted milton.
1. why won't mahjong (regular version) let me progress past level one now that i've kicked it's skanky ass {
2. you know how everywhere else on the site you get a little pop-up window when you have a new pm? why not in the arcade?
say thankya.
is the arcade glitches thread over in odd's lane obsolete?

p.s. i think #2 is the more important question personally.
#1 is just a kind of bitch and moan question if you get my meaning.
ETA: don't hesitate to respond to this with a "we see you, we hear you, we're busy as hell and we'll get to you when we get to you" message.
I took the liberty of stealing it and merging it with this. It seems to be more of a technical help thread and I really don't see a need for two of the same type threads in different forums.Originally Posted by turtlesong

Question One is unsolvable. It has been discussed since we came into existence.
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)

bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe the answer for question two is that if you're playing a game like Tetris in the arcade and you get a pop up PM notification, it will screw up your game because that window will pop to the front.

And it may just be the person who's score your trying to beat sending you PMs to thwart you beating them.
Ooh, hadn't thought of that. That is evil.

oh, and i just knew it was a conspiracy.

ah. so it's a timeless problem with no real solution except perhaps a shift in time/space reality
that makes total sense. although i don't play tetris, a lot of those games are timed with no pause button. you're brilliant.
you know, you would be the one who thought of this.And it may just be the person who's score your trying to beat sending you PMs to thwart you beating them.i like that about you!

Begin by looking for words that begin with vowels. There have to be a few of them in every phrase and vowels can give you some early hints.
· Be careful you don't make a tough word even tougher. If you need a "Z" don't make "tip" from "zip." You don't know if other letters that work with "Z" will pop up.
· Use all the tries to get the phrase bonus. You get extra points for having tries leftover but no where near the 10,000 point bonus for filling in the phrase. But don't forget, you have to complete the phrase, one way or the other, to keep the game going.
· Keep an eye on the list of used letters in the upper left-hand corner. Don't use a first letter twice, unless it's a really big word.
· The list of used letters can also help you with what words are not in the phrase. If you tried "D" and there's still a "_ig" in the phrase, it's not "dig."
· Use the "free" and "double" letters, but never use the "free" letter as a first letter. It's free so you should get two letters for one guess. Use the "double" or "triple" letters when you've got a pretty good score to begin with or when you're running out of guesses and you need to fill the meter.
And remember the Wheel of Fortune rule: R, S, T, L, N, and E are the most common letters in the English alphabet. Try to get words starting with those letters early on - it will usually solve a lot of the phrase for you.

okay, i've been doing all of this but NEVER and i mean NEVER has it given me a 10,000 point bonus for anything. not even solving the damn puzzle. so wtf?

yeah - i try to do the vowels and these. plus m seems to pop up a lot.
thanks for the help guys. at this point i just want to beat my own score. i couldn't care less about anyone else's score. ::frustrated::
i just got a score on snake, and it put it down as razz2008. i thought i should mention this for nayone who has had a name change.
Anyone have problems with the tournaments? I've been unable to move on to the second round of my mahjongg tournament, even though all first round matches are done.
ooops. it put odetta in the wrong bracket. for some reason she ended up on your side of the tournament so no one on your side can advance any farther. i wonder if the ptb can fix that or if the tournament will have to start all over with the same group of people?
(no seriously, is there a way to fix this?)
Buddy, you think you look strong? You’re wearing a cape.
I've scored pretty high with Flip Words, BUT NEVER NEVER have I received 10,000 points for getting the phrase correct! you play this dam game enough and you start to remember the phrases! :-)

I'll look into it you guys, I might be able to move folks around on the back end.
(no seriously, is there a way to fix this?)
Looks like the only thing I can do is replace a player, it doesn't allow you to move them around once the thing has started.
I would think the only way to solve it is to start over.
I am doing my best in the arcade, I haven't found any problems there tho'.
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
god knows i'm in there enough and other than it seeming to go back to old names (if you've had a name change) and the mahjong game apparently attempting to become sentient, it seems fine to me. poor razzle dazzle, his highscore will forever more be razz2008 or whatever his old membername was.
