SDMB Username Scrabble Game

[Kwyjibo]

(For Simpsons fans, my reasoning for doing this should be simple. :) )
The game is simple.

Take your user name and calculate the point value using the Scrabble rules.

You can get the point values here. (http://www.ahs.uwaterloo.ca/~museum/vexhibit/Whitehill/scrabble/standard.html)

Now this is straight point value and does not include Double or Tripple Word Score.
(Maybe that will be the next game: "Highest Score Possible")

For those of you that have "Spaces", "Underscores", or symbols, they equal "0". (Sorry)
"Funky" characters like Ç,ü,é, etc are worth their Alpha equivalent.

(What does the winner get? A few free beers at the next Dopefest I attend. :D )

And so it goes.

-----
Kwyjibo = 26 points.

[Anubis]

Wow! A whole eight points!! I'm the winner!!! Not you! ME!!!!!!!!!!

[Hamlet]

I just knew I shoulda picked Xavier Quetzaquatol for my screenname.

upperdeckfan = 26 pts

Looks like we're going into extra innings here

[Violet]

I don't like this game. Waaaaaaaaahh! :(

Over & out.

[chique]

20.

I hate Scrabble.

[dobbinaire]

Eh, a mere 15 pts.

And ladyfoxfyre takes the lead!

[ShibbOleth]

ShibbOleth = 20 points.

:: sigh ::

Qadgop the Mercotan is going to kick my butt.



it's okay if foxy kicks my butt

[katiekilldare]

katiekilldare - 22 points.


Not even in the running.

[Reeder]

Wow..6 letters 7 points.

[racinchikki]

26 points

[Persephone]

All those letters in my name, and what am I worth? 17 lousy points. Pah. Stupid game.

[Mnementh]

Fifteen. Bastards.

[Nen]

Oooo! A whopping 3!

I think I'll come in last.

Yeah, but that's just because you'd like it.

[Astroboy14]

Astroboy=13

Stupid game! I don't need you! I don't need ANYONE! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

[GingerOfTheNorth]

Twenny-sebm.

[ladybug]

ladybug=14 points

Not even close to winning.

Yes, a last place tie :) Lel=3 points.

[InternetLegend]

A lousy 16 points. But I'm pretty sure I'm on a triple word score.

Honest.

If we play Monopoly, can I be the banker?

[TheFifthYear]

TheFifthYear--26 points. Not bad.

[PlanMan]

eleven

pah

HA!! Coup Fourre' Now I am unSTOPable - take that, you silly letter game!

[CrankyAsAnOldMan]

28, but then my long name gives me an unfair advantage.

My real name has a K and a Z in it, so I could give Qadcop a run for his money if I'd only stuck with that.

[Kayeby]

18 if I counted correctly.

[Arden Ranger]

Bah. 13.

At least it's my lucky number

[Mauvaise]

I'll just sit over there with lovely Arden in the #13 corner.

:P

[Smashed Ice Cream]

27, owing to the number of cheap letters in my username...

My real name (with two "z's", a "k" and ridiculously long)came to 53 ~ no double word score or anything!!!

whooooohoooooooooo

[DarkWriter]

DarkWriter = 18 points.

Where can I play Scrabble online? I love that game, but I have nobody to play with.

Sheri

[Kat]

Hooray for K! 7 points. Am I the first three-letter poster with more than 3 points?

Well looks like you're both in for an ungold medal.

6 letters, 6 points. I've got an unbronze. One more person under 6 and I can revel in my mediocrity.

I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

No, seriously. Because you've replied to several of my threads/posts recently, I will risk life and limb and my own precious place on an ultra-secret server to see if I can add you. I will beg the Scrabble God who set it up.

E-mail me. Then eat this message and deny you ever read it.

Yahoo! Games has Literati, which is a shameless rip-off of Scrabble to dodge trademark problems. It's virtually identical.

We're a clique. ;)

[rowrrbazzle]

36.

Since this tends to favor people with longer names, we should also look at the average number of points per character. That gives me 3.27.

Qadgop would get 37 total and 2.176 average.

ladyfoxfyre - 2.818 average.
Kwyjibo - 3.714 average

[Charisima]

Oooh! 16... I used to think I was above average....

[AwSnappity]

29...and I came so close to beating ladyfoxfyre. Damn Ys

2.07 points per character...still not a contender. <sigh>

Good point, but those with longer names could still use letters with lower scores.

[hardygrrl]

A lousy seventeen

[Nefarious Chipmunk]

Friggin' 19. I think that g should be worth more. I mean really! Unfair...okay..okay, maybe I am just a sore loser, wanna make sometin' out of it !? ;)

[Rasputin]

A lousy 10 points, or 1.25 points per character.

I've always played at games.com (http://play.games.com/playgames/ScrabbleGateway.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=2581&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2549&bmUID=1004765857631). It's the only place I know that actually looks like it has the Scrabble license, thus you are playing actual "Scrabble" and not some kind of rip-off.

[woodstockbirdybird]

Another 36 here. At least, I think it was 36. I've had a few to drink.

[MagicalSilverKey]

29 points

[vivalostwages]

23 points.

Bah Humbug!

[HubZilla]

22, for a 3.14 average.

Thank goodness I'm a Godzilla (http://members.fortunecity.com/hubzilla/Title.htm) fan!

[Zyada]

18 points or 3.6 average

Damn, I didn't even make it on the averaging.

rjk made 14 points with a 3 character name! His average is 4.67 - beat that!

Sheri

As already mentioned, Games.com has scrabble. I often have trouble getting the game to load there. I prefer to play at Playsite (http://www.playsite.com).

If you try it out, look for sandpipersue. I'm there pretty often. I LOVE scrabble! Which makes me wonder how I picked a username only worth a measly 14 points..... :)

[Janet O]

Lucky 13!

[Kwyjibo]

I calculated woodstockbirdybird and came up with 37.

So there is a new leader!

[mobo85]

If you just count "mobo," 8 points.

If you spell out the number with "mobo eighty five," 31 points.

[HerMajestyLorna]

30 ponts...not too bad, eh?

Good point.
Rule amendment: For numbers, spell them out and count them.

So Astroboy14 is now worth 24 points and Mobo, you can have the 31 points you oh so deserve. :)

[ladyfoxfyre]

Dammit. Beaten by a bird. I was in the lead there for a little while, and I felt important.
:::sniff:::

[zoogirl]

zoogirl checks in with a reasonably respectable seventeen. Love that "z"!!

[galen ubal]

Score of twelve (matches my emotional age, at least), with an average of 1.33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333 33333333333333333333

[Wicked Blue]

I'm only worth 17. Not too bad, I guess.

[Gartog]

A measly nine :(

I think I will change my user name to zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Mona Lott]

10. At last. I'm a 10!

[The Man Who]

F-blank-blank-K, 9 points.

-Myron

[Patty O'Furniture]

12 points. With the Y on a triple letter score & the N on a triple word score, that brings me up to 60 points. And since I've managed to use up all seven tiles (t-t-r-a-y-a-n) and form my name between Arden Ranger's A and Hamlet's T, that gives me another 50 points.

Put me down for 110 :D

What- whataya mean it's not in the dictionary?

[LindyHopper]

A semi-respectable 22, but only 2 points per letter. Those Y's and H's are pretty good...
