problematic this. the titbox wordlist is very big but on the gamesnet it seems pretty restrictive.

Doesn't have to be a problem. We could have a couple of tables for different format's.

Joined the 9 club today TINCTURES

Very nice - equals MELANOIDS for obscurity.

All I can say on this subject is that of the 90s group Europe. Hope this game will be 'The FINAL Coundown'.

Try these for obsure:

BACONER
LANDSIDE
STERCULIA

Did you play them, Step7?

I know the first two from Scrabble, but the last one is rather impressive.

I guess we should be noting pub name and speed of find (for ranking purposes) for these.

PS - Imagine a town so awful that it has not only been seemingly forsaken by God but also by every pub chain in the land, even Yates. That town is Gillingham.

I took a picture of the hi-score table with my mobile.

Damn, it looks like CD has gone on Issue 51, taking a hi-score board full (bar one entry) of me with it before I got to grab a photo of some new 8s & 9s. Hopefully my "backup" itbox hasn't been updraded yet, I've still got a few on there.

Any ideas why this has gone? Is it purely down to people not playing it? I was taking 2-6 quid out of one of two boxes in seperate pubs on alternating lunch times - implying it was getting reasonable action on those two at least.

Maybe it's because I'd found a game that I was a quarter decent at and could fund my lunch time drinking with?

They replaced you with Great Escape.

word games don't last on Itbox> Boggle, Word Wall, Brainteaser, Buzzle (OK, not Buzzle) all gone before their time

Bring back Sum Up. Just fix the prize structure a bit.

Games get taken off menus for loads of reasons, common ones being:
Not being played enough
Being won on too much
Crashing too much
Content provider wanting more money
Person who designs new menu not checking properly

Don't suppose you'd happen to know which of those applied in this case would you?

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

couldn't say for certain but I know it was only attracting about a third of the amount of plays as Cluedo so that probably had something to do with it
