Post by Marc Meakin »

Good luck Thomas Carey at the Scrabble World Championship in Ghana.
Representing Germany I'm sure he will do well.
Highest rated German participant for sure

Don't know what he's doing there. No parkrun in Ghana as far as I can see.

What happened in round 3 with loads of players playing whatever the scrabble equivalent is of prune?

I think the tech is struggling to keep up - scores way behind, so presumably it'll catch up!

Editx2: Maus is 4-3 up at the end of day 1, which is an awesome start! (He was ranked 119/128 to any finish higher than that is good!) They're running late due to a Ghanaian king showing up for the opening so will play an extra game tomorrow.

This will be the only Saturday I miss this year barring any colossal fuckups. Still on course for 55

That's pretty cool. Gwan Tom! Do it for the C4C and, uh, Germany.

Yeah - really annoyed I lost my last four including the worst endgame mistake I've ever made, so should have been a lot higher. But we take it

Yeah I saved all my game logs and stuff. There's one that people were badgering me too put on snippetz where I got two 9s in a row. I'll get around to it soon
