Comments: | As far as our representatives of the real world are concerned, I personally think playing minesweeper is a better hobby than sucking dick. Apparently they disagree, so they can suck my dick too. |

Comments: | About the mouse pad color: Mine is primarily blue, with some black, and some white writing on it. However, it is the same mousepad that I had been using for 10 months without any of these kinds of problems. Also, with optical mice, they are supposed to be able to work on any color and texture of surface, except for glass. Lance |

Comments: | That Crazy Minesweeper is tough... played it for about 3 hours straight just now, and finished only one intermediate game - 64. Best beginner was 10. I think it was Damien who first posted the URL for the Crazy game, with a message like "for once a Minesweeper clone that is any good." I disagree with that - Promines is great, and I love hex - best score on Expert hex in Promines was 75, in "Hexmines" it was 86. |

Comments: | Daniela, you make me laugh. You have to realise that the brain has troughs and peaks in activity so even if u played minesweeper 23 hours a day, for a whole month, there is still little chance of you improving your scores significantly. Haven't you realised it takes months to GRADUALLY improve, not all in one step - this is not possible. I think the phrase that pays here is brain assimilation time - you have to let yourself improve, not MAKE yourself improve, if you know what I mean. |

Comments: | Maybe if anonymous, jessica, and her friend are so concerned about people wasting their time, they should keep that to themselves. It serves no purpose, because what two "visitors" who are unfamiliar with the lives that any of us lead say about our playing time and habits will have NO effect on any of us actually playing the game. It just makes anonymous et al. have their little ego boost by telling people what they should do with their own free time. These people have no idea what any of us actually do. I, for example, am an assistant manager at an auditorium, a college student with double majors, and have a productive and extensive social life. There isn't a weekend that goes by that I'm not out doing something, whether it's going to Hawkeye Football games, frisbee, going to clubs, or whatever. I play minesweeper during the week primarily, once I am finished with homework and when there is no one else around to converse with. I assume many others have very similar stories as well, so here's a raspberry for the rain on our parade :-p Lance |

Comments: | Damien, I have experienced the same thing with my Logitech Optical Wheelmouse! Sometimes the "spasm", as I've come to call it, will only last a half second or so, but every now and then the damn thing lasts up to 5 whole seconds. VERY frustrating. It has ruined some very good games for me. I have only noticed this while playing minesweeper, although I think it may have occurred once while my roommate was using the computer. I attributed it to the fact that it's the same mouse I was using when my old computer was struck by lightning over the summer, so I just assumed that it was damaged in some minor way, and I was considering getting a new mouse, perhaps a cordless optical Logitech mouse, but now I'm not so sure, since it sounds like it's not just my mouse! I love the weight, feel, and spring tension of the mouse, but it isn't a very accurate mouse anymore... often jumps small but significant distances, especially when I play minesweeper. I tried downloading updated drivers for this mouse, with no effect. If anyone knows of a fix, patch or recall, please let me know! Lance |

Comments: | Of course everything Dan said is true, but I just want to say this, mr. Anonymous: when there is sun, I'll be in it, but here in Holland you can't expect sun on October. I don't know where you live... You shouldn't say things about people you don't know anything about. You don't know half about the (useful) things we do, about how much we mean for the society. We are just some different guys and girls who have the same hobby. You should get a hobby as well, instead of posting this kind of messages (as Dan said, there's no use in that). It only says that you are bored. |

Comments: | Haven't checked here for over a week I think... the messages recently seem to be drifting in all directions, what with the poems and all. Lasse, 2500 sub-60's is over 20 times my number of sub-60's. Once again your playing speed has left us all in the dust. I played for about 30min last night, the most I've played in well over a month. I lost on a 54 with 2 squares to go (not a 50-50), so I still have some speed in me, and who knows? I have a week's break from school next week, so maybe I'll get to play some more. |

I consider myself a fairly good sweeper but since I first tried this I have never successfully cleared all 200. I've been down to the final mine twice. Try it...it's very tough. |

Comments: | Things are getting a little better for me on intermediate. I have been playing this almost exclusively for the last couple weeks, basically because I really don't have time to play the whole expert game at a good sitting, so intermediate has been my treadmill, keeping me from getting rusty. Today I got my 3rd sub-20, another 19, so sometime soon I hope to break my record of 18. I have come across - and bungled - a couple of really good looking boards lately. I guess if anyone wants to take a look at those, they can email me and ask. Happy sweeping! Lance |

Comments: | Hey everybody. Someone mentioned this recently, so I thought I'd tell you a bit more: there is a new minesweeper version that (finally) doesn't suck...called Crazy Minesweeper. The author, Sergey Goncharov sent me a copy last week. The thing is, it's a lot harder, because although the rules are the same, there are 3 types of mines worth 1 to 3 "standard" mines so the number 4 can mean two mediums or a small and large mine...it doesn't sound solveable at first, but it is and it is a helluvalot of fun. One place to get it is http://www.freedownload-games.com/Puzzle/Review_00390_index.html . Check it out. Btw, I'm trying to find time this week to update the lists with pics this time. If you don't believe I honestly am busy, this'll prove it: I've managed only 3 hours of minesweeper in the last month. Ouch... anyways, I'll get it done. |

Comments: | I did a triple quadruple side spin on the skateboard while going down the hill at immense speed. It was cool. After I fell upside down and twisted my spine I was not happy at all. The pain was a new experience. It came in waves of great magnitude. I wriggled and writhed on the ground. Blood pulsated out of my body with each heartbeat. Suddenly there was lots of laughing people gathered around pointing their fingers at me. I tried to get up but my legs wouldn't let me. I dearly wanted to pound them with my fists. I tried to remember their faces and plotted my revenge while twitching on the ground. |

Comments: | 1)Good job Wen 2)Im not planning on waiting for the dreamboard Owen- I really dont want to get it again 3)Owen again, I play expert for maybe a half hour before switching to int. I missed another close call at a score around 60 yesterday. I will be playing expert more though. How else am I going to catch your 63? 4)Daniela, go the links section and you'll find some links about a 8 or 9-year-old kid who has a score in the 80's I think. I sub-100'd when I was 15 and I think Wen did it at 14. |

Comments: | Nice to hear from you Ben, even if it's just to tease me... ;) Just know that I've already had my 5th sub-20 with a 19 a few weeks ago. So the 13 you're talking about will my 6th ! :) More seriously, who could tell me how to use "the league". I' ve tried to, but it's written "Necessery since*6". No idea of what it is, any idea ? Thanks. |

Comments: | Matt it is only a matter of time before you get the dreamboard again but i wouldn't bother waiting for it. Instead why don't you try beat your expert score? how many minutes would you play per day Matt? Daniela You are just stirring trouble again calling the anonymous surfer a coward. I disagree with calling the AS that. |

Comments: | I'm pissed because I just fucked up a probable 62 second game. It was on a guess (in which the odds were approximately 67/33 and I opted for the more probably location, which was incorrect), so I don't feel too stupid Hopefully another such opportunity will come along soon. |

Comments: | Thanks Matt :) And unlucky about your lost game! I've so far only got the dreamboard once and that was enough for me.. Maybe I was lucky i didn't realise it was the dreamboard but I'd say iI would have done better if I had realised it.... Hopefully i will break the minuter barrier in the next month or so I knock off about 2 seconds a month off my records |

And indeed, everyone agrees with AS about not believing Daniela, but she is taken too seriously and I can't see why you should say things like that to her. Well done Owen :-) And Matt, I guess I understand what you're saying and I can imagine that. Anyhow, I would like to have the dreamboard once ;-) |

Comments: | Well done Owen; I missed an expert board with four more squares left to clear all right next to each other in a row, but I died on a 3-1 pattern near a wall (I hate those more than anything I can think of at the moment). The clock was at 59... And on my dreamboard miss, I recognized that it was the dreamboard immediately and that threw me off very badly. I doubt I would have finished faster than a 12 . I know, I know...12 is a very fast time, but beacuse it would have been my 3rd finish on the dreamboard, I really would not have considered it legitimate. Do you guys agree with me? I kind of dont want to get that board again, because it wil seriously take away something from that score, you know? |

Comments: | Hi All. recently i haven't had the oppertuntiy to play as much after i was in good form. Last night i was at my friends debs. It was great fun but now i'm wrecked. After a long time, a guestbook may run out of new ideas and things to discuss. Now we end up talking about anonymous surfers for ages!! It seems silly to me. I agree with those who say that the A.S has right to remain anonymous. that's why there is an anonymous function...... To start accusing people would be bad.. i'm not going to bother trying to figure out who did it as it's unneccasery and a waste of time. Good luck everyone. Unlucky Matt! I wouldn't mind retiring if i get 62 or so. But if i do get that i'm sure i would want to get below 60. My will to improve never weakens ;) Owen |

Comments: | OK, I understand you feel this way and I understand someone has the right to stay anonymous. But still, if someone says something like "Daniela is full of shit" without using his own name, for me that person is a coward. But: no angry feelings against anyone furthermore, and I'm also willing to stop the discussion. PS: Lance (I believe you said it) it's absolutely true it was a bad thing to figure out who it was. Sorry for that, but I was just interested in what Ed said. And I wasn't accusing Joe in my last message, to make that clear. |

You could, of course, not post? Or alternatively, become a 'bad guy'? :-p Doesn't taking on anonyminity to be unpopular not kinda stink of wearing a mask to rob a bank? Paul - just commenting, not accusing. P.S. I'm not any of the anonymous surfers, incase anyone wondered. |

Comments: | I think anonymous surfer has a right to remain so, and it's too bad that someone had to fish him out, if that is really what has happened. I personally felt comfortable enough to say what I wanted to say, but if s/he didn't feel that way, and wanted to avoid personal ridicule or scorn, then being anonymous was the best way to go. I'm sure that I would post anonymously on this board sometime if I felt the need to say something that might not be "popular" to other readers, but I can tell you now that I would consciously change my writing technique to avoid this little scenario. AS: don't worry about it, you have a right to your opinions, whether you're anonymous or not. Everyone else: this persons point wasn't that s/he could say whatever s/he wanted by being anonymous, it was the actual message that they considered important. And obviously many of us agreed with that message. LANCE |

Comments: | Gosh, I just had a look at the old guestbook pages. I was actually the 6th person to write in this book, hehe. That was in May 2000. At that time, my records were 66,20,1. That means, in the past 1 1/2 year, I've made a drastic improvement on ONE second. Yippee! In comparison, Matt's records at that time were 141,28,1. And look at his records now. Sigh..... Anonymous surfer, looks like your not using your real name to avoid argument isn't really working, is it? |

Comments: | Anonymous Surfer, you say you don't want to have argument or stir trouble. In my opinion, you shouldn't post at all if you want to avoid arguments. If we follow Ed's post, it's Joe Nuss. But I thought he already made clear he didn't believed Daniela. |
