Wordfeud League of Honour

All said and done though, one player using a word finder app does not have necessarily have an advantage against another with a more extensive vocabulary and who is a better strategist. The cheat app may pick the proximate word with the most points, but will not tell you that you are leaving a double-triple open, what better to save for the next play, what the odds are of drawing that letter you are hoping for, etc. Add in the vagaries of the tile draw, since no cheat app (or great player) can do much with IIIOOOU on an opening play, and I don´t see how a player like you mentioned could avoid being relegated sometimes.

I play players in some other friendly games who I trounce regularly, and we have agreed they could use an app to even the field and help enhance their word knowledge, and I still beat them 9 out of 10 times. The 10th game might be a reverse blowout because I got a horrible draw the whole game, or vice versa.

Yes of course it´s not fair and the affects vary on different levels of players, and they should be banned when found, but I just chalk it up as similar to the horrible tile draw, happenstance.

For some reason contraband101 started addressing me as “sabor” “What’s up sabor”, which at first I thought was some catchphrase of his, or he was giving me a nickname, or maybe it was some insider Wf thing I didn’t know about yet, and I thought it was cool. I thought it was maybe more like an affectation of sabe or saber, acknowledging my superior intellect !;^), as opposed to like flavor in Spanish, since he had no idea of my taste;-P.

But then he made more references: “Sabor, did u read the international post?”, and I hadn’t looked at the site for a few days, so I logged in and saw the congrats I had been hoping to get. It took a lot of concentration, like I said before I had come in second a few times, due to lousy draws (doesn´t matter how many words you know when you draw something like IIIUUOL!), or I saved letters and then forgot to play the word, etc.

So I said “U mean the congrats? Thx I hadn’t looked, figured I would see something after the tourney”, and he said “No, not the congrats. u know who u r as I do sabor. As well the international judge knows who u r. u r not slick. ive & others have known from the beginning.”

So I explained who I was, and said an apology was in order, no harm no foul since he really thought he had sleuthed the mystery, but no response. Someone(?) even complained to the ref, who wrote me asking if I had multiple UNs, and I replied as above. But I am adding this here to dispel any "others" idea that I might be this sabor character.
