"I have a FULL SCREEN for the first time ever. :)"

8:15:44pm madam_xelda says, "OK Let me go over this weeks games real quick"
8:15:57pm madam_xelda says, "Some choices have to be made up front and I need Jim here for that."
8:16:05pm jim says, "ok"
8:16:08pm max says, "red"
8:16:14pm madam_xelda says, "For the chat game tonight EQ will fill in for you if that is OK. He has not seen the game"
8:16:31pm jim says, "By the way, I am Kinko's and I have a FULL SCREEN for the first time ever. :)"
8:16:41pm madam_xelda says, "Woot :) nice isn't it?"

8:16:50pm mark says, "hello full screen jim"
8:17:00pm madam_xelda says, "OK on to the games"
8:17:04pm alec says, "this is my first episode on my brand new computer"
8:17:10pm madam_xelda says, "This weeks intermediate game will be our equivalent of the popular board game Scrabble, we have named it Mabble."
8:17:26pm madam_xelda says, "The game plays exactly like the board game except in the message board. First I will ask you each to whisper a number to me between 1 and 100. The person closest to my number will go first in selecting their tiles and in the game."
8:17:33pm max says, "mabble hehe"
8:17:39pm madam_xelda says, "Everyone whisper their number to me now please."
8:17:49pm alec (private msg: madam_xelda) "22""
8:18:00pm jim says, "MX. for some reason, I cannot whisper."
8:18:01pm max (private msg: madam_xelda) "44""
8:18:04pm mark (private msg: madam_xelda) "29""
8:18:17pm madam_xelda says, "Just say your Jim"
8:18:26pm jim says, "49"
8:18:41pm madam_xelda says, "My number was 58 Jim will go first"
8:18:51pm alec says, "BOOOOOOOO"
8:18:51pm jim says, "yee haw"
8:18:59pm mark says, "BOOOOO"
8:19:00pm max says, "hope you pick a q"
8:19:04pm madam_xelda says, "We have taken the standard set of 100 scrabble tiles and randomly numbered the backs from 1 to 100 and posted these in the staff section for safe keeping. You will select your tiles by number, and we will post, in a Mabble thread in your journals, what they are. The way we type them will give you the letter and the point value for it, for example: J(10) or A(1) . Then you will play your tiles on the scrabble board just like in the game. The complete rules for the game (virtually the same as Scrabble) are posted to the puzzle thread."
8:19:28pm madam_xelda says, "Turns will go alphabetically starting with the person who drew the first letters. When you post your word to the message board, I will pick it up and add it to the board and give post your point count. When you post your word you also need to post the numbers of the tiles you want to pick up (you pick up one tile for each one you use). I will then post those tiles to your journal and you are ready to make your next word. There is a list of the remaining tiles in the game thread."
8:19:30pm jim says, "Thanks Max, I hope you pick a hyphen. : )"
8:19:35pm max says, "ouch"
8:19:48pm max says, "that was pretty good J"
8:19:53pm madam_xelda says, "The game will be scored by the total number of points earned by the player with the most points. You will earn a penny a point up to $5.00."
8:20:00pm mark says, "you deserved that one lol"
8:20:03pm madam_xelda says, "Delaying the game by failing to post your answer within 8 hours of the previous answer will add 10 seconds to your quiz time. Any questions?"
8:20:14pm jim says, "Nope."
8:20:22pm madam_xelda says, "Jim you were closest to my number, please give me 7 numbers between 1 and 100. These will be the 7 tiles you start with."
8:20:31pm jim says, "Right now?"
8:20:35pm max says, "no questions from me, I'm keeping my mouth shut from now on"
8:20:45pm madam_xelda says, "Yes"
8:20:54pm madam_xelda says, "This is the part I needed you here for :)"
8:21:18pm jim says, "7, 15, 34, 50, 54, 93, 94"
8:21:26pm max says, "no I wanted 93"
8:21:37pm max says, "oops, I am keeping my mouth shut, disregard that"
8:21:48pm madam_xelda says, "OK Mark you are next, do not pick any number that Jim has picked"

8:26:59pm mark says, "(one for Madam)"
8:27:02pm alec says, "how many points would that be"
8:27:12pm madam_xelda says, "and if you have a Y to play it on you could have poopy for a fairly decent score :)"
8:27:12pm max (private msg: mark) "I liked the pavlov thing. I saw the resemblance in the programming too, guess that is why I thought it was interesting...""
8:27:28pm madam_xelda says, "p's are 3 and o's are 1 I think."

8:28:18pm mark says, "that's triple poop"
8:28:29pm madam_xelda says, "hahahaha"
8:28:42pm max (private msg: mark) "I liked my statistics class but it was a senior level course and we did a lot of calculus in it. I suppose we are diametrically opposed in that respect.""
8:29:08pm max says, "could I add 'head' to 'poopy' for big points?"
8:29:22pm madam_xelda says, "hahahaha yes you could Max"
8:29:26pm mark (private msg: max) "you've got that right ... I like the abnormal stuff and the psych of learning classes better""
8:29:40pm madam_xelda says, "So did you guys think when you started that you would be in the final four?"
8:29:45pm mark says, "NO!!!"
8:29:49pm alec says, "NO"
