How to Beat NBrid in a Literati Environment

This is what happens when there is nothing else to update. So instead of an insightful rant on how Nintendo is Doomed, we are subjected to this list of the Top 15 (give or take 1 or 2) ways to beat NBrid at Literati.

In reverse order (so 17 is actually the #1 reason and 3 is actually the 15th reason and 9 is actually the 9th reason): 

1. Use one of the many Scrabble cheats available for download.
2. Use a word longer than 4 letters.
3. Distract them by saying, "GameCube Sucks!" Watch as their attention turns from Literati to proving you 'wrong'.
4. Use a word like "butt" or "titmouse". They'll forget about winning, and instead focus on trying to find more "4th grade" humor in their letters.
5. Promise them that if you win, you'll post in their forum. Afterwards, head over to Bacons and laugh at how badly you kicked their ass.
6. Spell "kwyjibo". When it's rejected, swear it's a "fat, dumb, balding, North American ape with no chin." As they laugh at your most excellent Simpsons ref, spell 'joky' (adj. amusing) as a triple word score.
7. Play the PS2 or Xbox version. (They only have the offline GC version.)
8. Point out that nothing is on [Adult Swim] besides some lame anime. Watch as they all quickly forfeit.
9. Play Advanced Pedantic Literati at Yahoo! Games.
10. Use a word without a vowel and watch as their heads' explode.
11. Make sure klamkilla is playing. How good can he be at Literati if he can't spell his own name right?
12. Tell them the key to your Literati skill is smoking crack on a daily basis.
13. Gently put them in their place by reminding them where they come from. They were once a Dreamcast 'clan', they were almost sued, John Tork still hangs out on their boards, ect.
14. Join a game with them on Yahoo, but don't hit start even when you claim you have. Keep this charade up and even put the blame on one of them. When you tire of this (or 15 minutes has passed without them catching on), finally hit start and play. During the game act like a complete ass, and boot/resign them whenever possible. Eventually they will give up and quit all at once. Leaving you the winner!
15. Tell them that if they let you win, you'll play PSO on GC with them.
16. Summon the God of Fends to smite their asses.
17. Show up.

(For those of you who have no friggin' clue as to what just happened, Literati is a Scrabble rip-off you can play at Yahoo Games, for free! Well, it does cost you your dignity, but NBrid lost that years ago. Thanks again Conn for NbKilla2k!)
