Scrabble awesomeness

...or maybe more like scrabble nerdishness

Anyway, some econ phd students have created rules for scrabble with competitive bidding for tiles, instead of just drawing them randomly. So basically, if the J comes up for auction, and you know someone is gonna turn around and play "jo" for a triple word score and fuck you over, you can try to outbid them. Check out the rules at the link.

It sounds fun (at least to me...) and I figure we have enough scrabble nerds in the suite to maybe give it a try.

Not enough minerals

Well looks like Starcraft 2 is delayed. Can't say I didn't see it coming. Also there is apparently no longer a LAN option so we might need legit copies.
