Alegria suggested this site in Random Links thread and it's fun.

I'm a very fast typer and realized other then the 'today's top 20' list it's hopeless to make the lists though... lol but they have a section for 'groups'

so I made a TVCH group - for us - we can certainly make our OWN list eh? :)

http://typera.net/group.html

that's the link to our group - name TVCH - keyword TVCH

After you type that in both of the blanks - then click the "set group' button.

Then go here

http://typera.net/

and where it says "start game" - type in your tvch name and select english sentence 2 minutes.

:)

It's fun - :)

Maybe you have to get there from the front page?


http://typera.net/

then hit the 'set your groups' option

5th option down on the 'bullets' list at the top see ?

Keeps telling me there is not a group by that name?? Hmmm I tried :)

hmm maybe it's tvch (no caps) for the keyword? :)

it's TVCH (caps for the group) maybe I didn't use caps for the keyword (sorry!)

Oh! You made it.. was it tvch instead of TVCH as the keyword?

Vixeninvegas

Monday, November 04, 2002 - 03:57 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Oh Duh! I have to have CAPS on LOL :P I tried like 3 times but only got worse then the first :P

That was fun - ty for sharing :)

Vix - ya it's tough at first lol... First 5 or so games I did not do well - but um the game has some strange capitlization deals LOL.

But your on OUR list - 2nd spot hehe... helps that there are only two of us on it so far <grin> But from what I can tell you'll get that # replaced when you beat it - ie you'll only be on the list once with your top score, so the idea is to beat YOUR top score.. which I love.

so was it 'tvch' as the keyword? or TVCH? I'm no longer sure LOL! I thought I had caps on when I did it so the keyword would be TVCH but ?

By the way to check our stats -

click on the "high scores' 'are here' just under "Start game' on the main page..

and then if your signed on as a TVCH group member it should show that as an option just to the left of "custom groups"

At least it does on my screen.

click on the name "tvclubhouse.com' members and you'll see our stats.

I see you made it Bob - hehe won't be to hard for you to beat your current record.. of 2 cpm a minute <giggle> :)

Hey, I got the 3rd fastest time for TVCH.

I did have some trouble with the second word, but I nailed the first one!

FYI if someone wants to play and be anon or not be on our list that's cool too - but hey it's fun to try to beat your OWN score you know. That's why I wanted to start our group cause I couldn't even SEE my own scores on the main lists those typers must all be court stenographers!!! LOL. I made the 'top 20 list' for TODAY - but even THAT won't show up cause the list only shows the top 20!! (I made the list at 33...lol)

So this way your stats will show up - on our list - and only those interested in our list and who know our keyword will see your stats (if your worried about not beating Bob's 2 cpm..lol)

Bob... lol :) 2 cpm - the first word musta been "IT" ?

Now have some coffee and I bet you can beat that 2 cpm :)

I now have cramps in my arms from typing. This thing is so addictive. My score keeps getting worse instead of better. Must be because I'm tired and need to rest. LOLOLOL Certainly NOT because I can't type.

Oh no! I've embarrassed myself!

Monday, November 04, 2002 - 04:41 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
yup know whatcha mean Granny lol... thats why I wanted our own list this is fun and I could never see how I was doing on THEIR list. This one holds 20 people.. if we need to we can make it 50 - we will see.

Rig! No trust me if you all saw my first few scores.... :) I've played this like 30 times now! or 40 lol. It takes getting the hang of the way it's done to start breaking your record. Especially the weird ways they use capitals... I get so many errors from ASSUMING....lol.

Whit, are the words easier than the sentences? Sometimes the sentences don't make sense. Just wondering........need something to make mine score better. LOL

Rig

I'll bet some of our BB LFP's could get really high scores.

Grannyg

Monday, November 04, 2002 - 04:47 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Rig, I was a LFP. It's easier to me to type from someone talking than to type those sentences that are so random. Maybe I'm just out of practice. Bring back BB!!!

Whit4you

Monday, November 04, 2002 - 04:47 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Well you can play either Granny... I don't like the words myself... I know the words don't make sense and um sometimes you end up making errors because you assume something that's not there (or at least I do lol) try both and see which you prefer - the thing I like about this list is your trying to beat your OWN previous score... and ya maybe edging up on the person 1 above you would be fun too... that we will have to see lol. You know like those two that are both at 327......>:)

I'm glad I made this list because um the main list is crazy... I mean personally I don't see how it's possible to type 800 cpm lol... I'll be happy to break my current record.... and then that one....

Whit4you

Monday, November 04, 2002 - 04:51 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Rig, ya I was a LFP'er too... hehe that's what made me think this list would be fun... but seriously don't worry about being 'faster' than someone else here it's about seeing if you can beat your current score and trust me you will lol. I do think for me I'll have fun trying to 'beat' the person above me... and keep that pesky person below me below me hehe... I'm watching you! :)

Really though if you first few scores are low don't be discouraged it takes a bit to figure out just how strange these sentences really are LOL.

Like an example "Now is the time for all good men to...."

So I'll just keep typing "aid of their country..." then have to backspace cause um that's NOT WHAT THE SENTENCES said. LOL

That's interesting, Grannyg. At work, I type from handwritten forms, etc. and the emphasis is on just reading it! LOL
