Scrabble-type games and slow players

[bigbadwulff]

I am getting so tired of people starting games and then making a move like every day or every other day. If you are gonna start a game..............PLAY!
I know some people are busy but it doesn't take that long to make a friggen move.
If I get a notification someone moved, I try my best to make a move within an hour or so anyway.
If you aren't going to play, don't start a game. If you know you won't be back to play, resign the game.
I have one game on Words with Bugs a person hasn't made a move in 4 days and the game didn't auto-resign them. Of course I know the game has serious bugs and they may not be able to play.
Using all three main games. Word Feud, Wordsmith, and Words With Bugs, uh Friends.
On another note I kinda like the Wordsmith "3 strikes and you pass" idea. Been caught on that one a few times. For those that may not know what that is, if you put down 3 words that aren't words on any given turn, your turn is automatically passed.

I agree with this! I usually play on a website with time limits and I play games where the entire game is 3 or 4 minutes. If you run out of time, you lose, so you hae to play fast. I love this.

That said, it gets on my nerves when people won't play on Words With Friends too. The problem is, like you said, I can't tell if they aren't playing or if it's Words With Friends messing up. Probably a little of both.

My name is "bluejewel" on Words With Friends. Send me a game request if you want to and if I don't play fast, you know it's a bug.

I have words with friends and I am getting 20+ FC's in a row. like how can you play if you can't even open the app? I've been emailing the developement/support team for a few days now and all they say is "we play our game as well so we are experiencing the same problems as you. they will be fixed as soon as we can get to them." best part is they are telling people to change their rating of the game to 5 stars cuz its been getting nothing but 1 stars for a while now. yesterday it FC-ed 20x+, then finally stopped to freeze updating. I FC-ed it, when opened i had 2 games missing. I texted friends and they said the game was still there for them and it was my turn to go. yep game is gone. So I think its more of the game but then again i just started a game with a friend 2 days ago and she has played 2x. no point in playing with people like that as you said.
