Yeah, I’m on the sidelines and I want to play…again. Paul, if you’re ever on, you want to play an informal non doper game? 😉 ---

Rock on! \*\* Yeah, **ren** my love…history has proven to me that had YOU been one of my matches, I would have been slinking off into the sunset LONG ago. ren and I played email Scrabble for several months, friends. He creamed me every time, except for once. But playing with him improved my game, I think. Thanks **ren!** ---

Paul, if you’re ever on, you want to play an informal non doper game? 😉 \*\* I haven’t played on-line yet, but I’ll try to set it up soon. Which is better, [games.com](http://games.com) or yahoo? I’ve got your IM info from before, so I’ll blow the dust off AIM (I use Yahoo IM as paul\_the\_younger) and see if you’re around when I get a chance to set it up. Paul ---

Sounds good. I usually do [games.com](http://games.com), never tried yahoo games. (I’m an old stick in the mud about change.) I’ll add you to my bl too. ---

I’m on IE 5, but I’d bet it’s a problem on their end. ---

Okay, **MikeG** and I are finally trying to set a time for our match. Has this thing died, or are we still having a tournament? Either way, Mikey, I still want to play. ---

Well I’ve not heard from ender or merc but I’m still keen. Even for casual games. Anyone interested drop me a line. If we don’t hear soon perhaps we could start up a league (where we all play each other once and we can do that at any time rather than wait on other results). ---

[Games.com](http://Games.com) has been down for ‘maintenance’ since last Thursday. What’s the problem? I am suffering scrabble withdrawal. Are there any other sites we can play scrab? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/scrabble-tournament/71386.md?page=4)
