Bah! Today at the Scrabble Club Meeting, we played our first game of Scrabble. About halfway through the game, I laid down 2 horrific tiles -'s' and 'a', one point each only- to form the word 'sat', 'so' and 'wan'. 'S' was also on a triple letter square.
I was really happy to get rid of the letters in such a good way -across three words- when my opponents gave the word 'wan' weird looks. I smirked, and told them to challenge it. And good lord, Siew Lei actually did. Because there was no dictionary present, she asked a few Scrabble elites playing a few tables over.
She came back with a smug grin, and confirmed that there was no such word! What??? That beautiful, beautiful word....T_T ...doesn't exist?
Yeah, right. Screw the pros. I fully intend to take the Oxford dictionary and shove into Poo Lay's face tomorrow. Grrr. That cost me my turn, not to mention about 25 points. I am very dissatisfied now. =(
In other matters, theother two girls playing against me were first-timers. And may I mention that they were uber-slow. For one hour we played, and we only managed 5 turns per person.
5 turns x 4 people divided by 60 minutes...that's THREE freaking minutes per turn! And that excluded Siew Lei and I, who took a maximum of 1 minute per turn.
So,
2 people x 5 turns x 1 minute = 10 minutes
60 minutes -10 minutes = 50 minutes
50 minutes divided by 2 people = 25 minutes
25 minutes divided by 5 turns = FIVE MINUTES PER TURN!!!!
How slow can you get???!!!
I was really trying not to let my impatience show, but I ended up tapping my fingers on the table really loudly, while fidgeting in my chair.
GAH!
I still feel irritated. But nevermind. Newbies I can forgive...the next this happens, I swear I'm going to scream my head off.
No, really.
