- After a long hiatus, Undercover Mack is back in the Mondaily online blitz Scrabble tournament! This time, it's an identity swap with Mack's friend and expert player Kevin Burbridge. Will Kevin's account bring Mack good luck? Will people suspect something is up? There's only one way to find out!
Your ability to see words that aren't in the dictionary like MYTHBUST or whatever is genuinely superhuman, shows that your genius goes way further than just memorizing the full dictionary (which is already obviously nuts). so crazy
Haha thanks! Interestingly MYTHBUSTER* isn't even good, I just checked
I did have my suspicions after I saw undercover Kevin going 2-3! Kevin has won the Mondaily before, so it would have been fun if he had done well too, but alas, it was not to be.
Another note is that people seem to be catching on to the Mondaily crashing now, and some of them are taking issue with it. To that, I say: keep the content rolling!
Glad this series is back 😌
Playing HAIRY and leaving WIG, irony at its finest
Hahaha didn't even notice, that's hilarious
Lol I had a feeling something was up when I won my first Mondaily game against "you." Alas, I guess I can't brag to my local Scrabble club about beating the reigning SPC champion 😂
I'll be back so keep trying!
If this comment gets 40 likes I will not ban Mack from my tournaments for spoofing accounts :)
You should ban Mack regardless. He is too good
Or maybe start every game with a ten-point deficit

@@bruceyuchuanyu There's an easy handicap, just make him play left handed.
He has played blindfolded before, so perhaps he could attempt this with a tourney.
I`ve missed this series!
I'm not sure if you've gotten this request before but I'd love to see you play the BURRITO Scrabble variant against Josh Sokol or another top player. I think it would make a banger video.
I'd love to, I haven't found anyone willing to play yet though (a lot of people think it's too stupid, which I disagree with). I'll keep trying!
3:53 another “shitty” draw
You said it was a bad ham sandwich! That explains the 229 point game -_____-
That AQUAE turn in game 4 was so confusing. I was wondering why you didn't play the vulgar Q word in the same spot that reaches the double, only to find out that's not a word. I'm guessing it was one of the words that was removed since I can't really imagine it was never good.
I was shouting at mack to play it too! But no, it’s not valid 😢
I can't even figure out what word you're referring to, haha, so it must've never been valid!
@@mackmellerI’m guessing QUEEF which is not valid lol
@@thomascorey7284 This was it. If it was never valid I'm truly surprised since some far more offensive words were in the dictionary.
Will you be having a stern conversation with Kevin about the impact he has had on your all-important Woogles blitz Elo rating following this video?
Of course
You should just call yourself Mackle and play in a tourney haha
is RETWEETING valid? couldve worked at around 8 mins EDIT: i watched the whole video and realized it came up afterwards LOL
Since you mentioned the importance of spread, I wonder whether you would intentionally play a risky, open board with triple-triple openings against a weaker opponent. To try to get more spread.
I've seen a few occasions where you give a bit too much credit to an unknown opponent, such as assuming they might play an obscure bingo. No offense to them (they're probably still better than me), but your opponent in Game 4 was clearly not an expert since they used mostly common words and missed some spots.
That's not a bad idea at all, though unknown opponents can be very unpredictable in my experience -- I've seen them start off by tanking then all of the sudden they play 2 high-scoring bingos in a row
13:14 You could just play IDIOT there and hope to get a double-triple V hooking VIDIOT, no? Don't know if that's worth it, but something to consider, surely?
Interesting idea! Definitely worth considering, but I don't think it's quite worth it since she plays through the I in IDIOT fairly often, and then I've given up 16 points and I'm still stuck dealing with this V that's a real nuisance
I don't like the idea of playing rated games under an account that is not yours. Kramnik did something similar on chess sites and got banned for it.
Hikaru plays on new accounts all the time. And wasn't there a famous incident where Magnus played on his friend's account and destroyed ppl.
Turns out: people don't care if you're popular.
@@richardmatthias6098 New accounts are not the same as pretending to be another account, especially in rated games. As a person who did significant work on ratings systems, I don't like the idea of people doing things that degrade their accuracy, making displayed ratings less accurate and meaningful.
Do you even win anything for winning one of these?
Josh has promised that if he ever becomes a millionaire, we can remind him that we won a Monday and he'll reward us accordingly.
@@JDHinten how do we make sure Josh becomes a millionaire??
@@asdfasdf4924 Bingo with MILLION
I'm still waiting for my "3x Mondaily champion" trophy to put on my mantle next to my SPC champion trophy. What's up with that Josh?
@@mackmeller my favorite response was the one about Josh giving out money when he becomes a millionaire. I want to see this happen
