Hi Connie,

Remember me:)...In a nutshell, here is a game comment TODAY between 'morrocastle' and 'nana_1930'.

MATCH INFORMATION
8/4/02 14:41:42
MATCH COMMENTS:
"uses franklin"

What gall!!!... Guess it seems nana_1930 has some crystal ball that enabled her/him to come to the conclusion that morrocastle is a cheat. Whether this player may have spent hours studying words or who knows how many years they may have spent playing this game. This 'nana' character' has determined them a cheat. What a turn-off!

I've simply lost interest here although I do miss our comradery. Several players I've noticed went to V1, maybe due to more players in the ladder. I've noted even MR_CASE there.

I still continue to check both forums, V1 is much more active and has always been. Rapier the "duck" seem to have some secret formula that V2 has an exorbitant amount of cheaters compared to V1. What an idiot!

For some reason, ladders seem to bring out the worst in people, beats me why! As for myself, I've joined 'net scrabble' sites. It's convenient for many reasons but foremost, there isn't the petty nonsense both ladders here get involved with. I seriously doubt I will ever return to ladder play.

: It's a sad state of affairs! We have lost so many players to other sites. Why?
: The ladder room is nearly always empty during the day. It's so hard to scare up a game.
: I've taken to playing in Basic, even though most of the players are very unskilled, just to get a game. Today, even Basic was empty. It's 1pm and not one game is being played anywhere on our zone.
: The message forum hasn't had a post since mid-July. No one reads. No one cares. Probably no one will see this post.
: I made a congratulatory post for Cyberwolf a month ago. Not one of you got on the bandwagon after he won the tourney in A.C.
: It seems that the only time there is any converstion is when a negative post is made. We don't even have that anymore, not that I'm looking for that kind of activity.

: I don't know about the rest of you, but I enjoy this site. (Besides which, it's the only one I can open. I'm useless on the computer.) Very soon there will be no point in keeping it alive. Then what will we do?

: SO THIS IS A PLEA FROM ONE SCRABBLE JUNKIE TO ALL CASE MEMBERS EVERYWHERE. PLEASE COME BACK!! Or at least air your reasons for leaving the fold.
