It is a bit sad. She was lonely and ill for a long time so I guess in the long run it was for the best. But still.

and you too, lypsyl... I was thinking about asking Jon if he could make a word unscrambler with just subeta words/items. Think we would get in trouble for that?

I wondered if that was possible. It would be great if he could. :) I don't see why you would get in trouble. We have anagram solvers on the internet just not ones with just subeta words/phrases.

I would think it would be possible. It is just a matter of putting the right words in the "dictionary" it is associated with. idk that staff would appreciate it though. Maybe we could just get him to make it for US. :D

Well it wouldn't help with the challenge, there's just no time. As for rule breaking, I think its definitely on the edge. Where exactly does one draw the line between cheating and a help site? I think if you ask 4 people 2 will say its okay and 2 will say its cheating. Maybe file a ticket asking if using anagram unscrambling program is considered cheating?

In a way I feel like they would say no. But then again, they can't stop people from using Sudoku solvers. But I feel like it would be different if it were one on our site just for subeta terms. But man, those minions are killers!

Yep, the single word ones are the worst. Several times I've run searches on Sbl by restricting to minion, using the rarest letter in the word, then basically looked page by page trying to track it down. LOL, if I'm in a rush, I'll just hit solve with nothing in there, after all its not worth a lot of points and there's no achievement for getting them right! I won't bother with the challenge either if there's a single word one that isn't fairly obvious.

I have been trying to find them, the single word ones. But man, even with the first letter being capitalized again it is really difficult. Some of them, not menions, with 5 or 6 words can be really easy. BUt a couple times I have been so focused on spelling everything correctly without typos that I ended up missing one of the words in it. Last night it was "emo" :/

LOL. Yesterday I got carried away with b...a 5 or 6 word clue, easily solved, one of the words was ribbon, which I spelled ribbob..hit the send button and I could SEE the error, screamed "NO!!!" Lots of points just tossed away because I wasn't paying attention. Wasn't even the time limited challenge, no reason to hurry.

Well that was weird, I got an item scramble that unscambled to "earth brilliant crystal" which didn't exist in subetalodge. Thinking we missed something in the database, I searched for it in Subeta Search and didn't find it. I figured I was misspelling something, but couldn't figure out what - looking up each individual word didn't produce anything either. So I hit submit and to my huge surprise I got it correct....but there was nothing under "Correct Answer:", just a big blank space.

On another note, I've managed to hit the bottom of the high score table. With some good luck and nice long words, I hope to hit the top 10 in another week or two :).

So weird that it shows up in account search but not shop search or subeta search.

Ahhhh its an R300! When I search sbl for item scramble I limit my searches to R1-199, so I don't have to wade through CWs. Hmmmm, may have to rethink that, at least when/if I encounter more non-existent items

Oh, yeah. That makes sense. I wish there were a way we could have search terms that exclude certain things, like R200.

I've wanted an exclusion search for eons! Search all shops but the plushie parlour....for example, when looking for those few plushies that don't stock in the regular shop.

back when Grace actually worked on SBL I asked her about it and she said it couldn't be done. Of course, she also said other stuff could not be done that Jon has since done for us. IDK

I remember those, they were all put in the database at the same time way back when we were suppose to use "trees" for our pets. Once I asked about those and they're not being released, they would make pets too powerful. Still in the database tho.

The scramble list I would bet would be against the rules.
