Henry, hope U wouldn't object if i forward your compliment to The Mojave Phone Booth thread! Your words will inspire those who have fallen exhausted trying, as well as lift the spirits further for those who met with success.
How I Got Thru To Mojave Phone Booth... dragooned The Kid into helping me press Redial as we listened to Heavy Metal Music & talked about it. Not Cheating - Teamwork & Fun!
"Tooling An Edge" er, i mean "Dynamic Rules" of games have always been my favorite.
Like Scrabble's no fun unless it's "law of the jungle" -counting any word, any language, any dictionary, pro lingo, medicals, slang & even *^%#$ words, etc. are OK Til Arguable (as in Browbeating), dontchathink? Spelling it out while keeping it to Websters Collegiate drains away the verve!
And "The Grub Game" is better than Jungle Scrabble! The plots and bragging and intrigues around it enhance it's fascination. Plotting it, getting it, hyping it, placing it in the Trophy Case, talking about it afterward, kicking back with a drink & a cigarette after it's over....Aaaaaaah. Auto-erotism, as U put it succinctly, yes.
Were you the Originator, who else was in on it? If or if not you're tired of telling the story, will make it my bizniss 2 read back on the Trophy Case Thread beginnings to learn more. So then i can ask some intelligent questions!
"The Grub Game" might possibly be the Greatest internet game ever invented In Our Time, i'd vote for it!
As for the grub cons cheats & tricks... in the words of W.C. Fields.... "i'd rather be in Philadelphia if you can't cheat an honest (wo)man". Those no-stakes Grubs are a great warm-up for The Stock Market, The Greatest Game Of All!!!
Your smiles & tips "From The Head Judge" at my abuses hyping kudos for measly grubs is special, Henry, Thanks.
Joana
