Game Celebrity Scrabble

Hello everyone, Today we got a new visitor at the hospital. MikeyJfox http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1601808 after I got over my initial excitement I thought to myself why not make this into a nerdy and needlessly complex game. So here goes nothing.

Celebrity Scrabble: To play all you need to do is spot a celebrity around Malton then assign a point value by using the letters of there name with the Scrabble point system

# 1 point: E, A, I, O, N, R, T, L, S, U
# 2 points: D, G
# 3 points: B, C, M, P
# 4 points: F, H, V, W, Y
# 5 points: K
# 8 points: J, X
# 10 points: Q, Z

The Rules:

1. You must post a link to the UD profile

2. To qualify as a celebrity the individual must have a wikipedia page (post a link to this as well just for fun)

3. Survivor celebrities count as Single word score

4. Zombie celebrities count as Double word score

5. If you revive the zombie celebrity (verify with Iwit) they count as Triple word score.

So as an example we'll use MikeyJFox. To receive points I would post,

A link to his profile http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1601808

His wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micheal_J._Fox

And a point total 35.

We won't count MikeyJFox as no one (including me) knew we would be playing but all other celebrities are fair game.

FUN DAY!

this i like! i like alot!

this is great

a question: do UD celebrities count? (like jorm or Ashate or Ron Burgandy?)

Yes. I think UD celebrities count. Maybe in place of the wikipedia link just a short bit about the characters history for us newer players. Fun Day!

Ok I guess I'll start

Do we need an iwitness of them with our characters? Or should we just know they exist?

Yeah I guess Iwit is best. This game is hard.

I think it'll be fun, though!
