5 said players enter online chat at specified time. None of them have conflicts during this period, resulting in an uninterrupted game. It can be done with AIM. 1 chat room window has all 5 in it to discuss, and Einstein speaks individually with each of the 4. Einstein announces point values, and a webcam of the scrabble board is also available for players to view in making their decision. A webcam isn't even necessary - perhaps a file of any sort where Einstein can draw letters and the lovely players can see a board shot.
So it goes til somebody wins.

A simpler alternative:
Yahoo! Literati
During the summer of 2003, we had a group of 6 or 7 FIRSTers who played Literati a couple times a week. It was a good time for all. Plus, it's easier than using a webcam and AIM. If anybody wants to start something up with this, I'm game.
