I don't know exactly how things work, but I guess this is a Congress-case. The score the AR shows depends on their decision, I would say. Congrats anyway (although personally I'm in favour of not accepting scores reached like this). |

Damien, you have a lot more sub50s than I do(13). I'm very surprised you haven't had a 46 or lower. I thought you would break my best several months ago(46x2, 44x1). Also, I'd love to just get a 13 on int. Even Steffen is now consistently whooping my ass on int. Roelof, I've also heard a good number of Iraqi exiles support a war to oust Saddam. Of course, there could be just as many who are anti-war but they just don't show them on tv. However, from the reports I've seen, I think Baghdad residents could be fairly hostile to American invaders. I know Iraqis have to appear anti-American on camera or they get their throats cut, but they appear pretty sincere to me. The Kurds in the north and Shiites in the south should be more receptive to US troops. |

In Holland, we had a massive peace-demonstration in Amsterdam, while ca. 200 Iraqi's protested in The Hague. Their slogan: "Saddam is worse than war"... We should take that opinion very seriously. One of the Iraqi's said the following about the people protesting in Amsterdam: "They don't really care about the Iraqi people. They just hate America and take every opportunity they get to show that. If the USA does not attack Iraq and we are still victims of Saddam's policy, these people will just go to their work as if nothing happened and they will not think about us anymore." |

this has been my best sweeping week since september...4 14's and 2 47's on saturday (among others) and today: 48 on a 157 board, and my first 12 on a 40 board, 3 2's, and my highest 3bv/s ratio: 20s on a 96 board for 4.8 click/s. 35 sub-50's now... btw matt...i've actually only had about 5 days i'd say i seriously swept this year so far...i always finish one expert game to see if it's worth playing, and i've just come out of a two month slump. |

A link to show the ignorance of many of the protestors... I think if you hit the streets to protest against a war you better have some arguments to back up your stance. A good percentage of these folks are just out there to socialize... and hating the U.S. sure is in style these days! Wait a couple seconds and the streamed video will load. http://www.brain-terminal.com/articles/video/peace-protest.html |

Havent been here for a while. IŽll probably wont have internet for the next 3 months. That hurts. But may be IŽll write tomorrow because i know that after 3 hours of (more) playing iŽll will have the Dreamboard once more. I have already tied the WR for this year with an 11 (DB-so nothing special), but also have 2*13, 3*14 some 15s,16s,17s in the last 2 days... and yesterday i got 15*18s on just one day. I play a lot these days. Happy sweeping! @Neil M :I think it was level 28 or so but i dont know in how far we can compare our scores due to your NES/my Gameboy. ![]() |

It sounds like everyone here is clever enough to understand that things are not that simple, and that we can't say "America=good and Irak=evil". Bush should play minesweeper... Like Dan, my opinion evolves day after day. But the more I can get the informations, the more I hate the way Bush considers his role towards the rest of the world. |

, to be quite honest both sides are fucking stupid, what it comes down to is that saddam should be killed or kicked out, but bush is retard who reads speeches writen for him, and who should of gotten this over with along time ago, and anyone who tries to defend the iraqi government is a retard, cuz the country forces everyone to vote(for guess who) and no one has free speech and are killed if they try to protest, and all saddam does is spread propaganda, but sadly the main reasons for the attacks rely on getting iraq to produce oil more effeciently, but at the same time, bush is trying to pass a dividends tax cut, to "help the ecomony " but the tax is helping out the rich who pay 70%of the taxes and once war starts- taxes are going to be raised again, and its gonna hurt the economy and the poorer americans, because the rich save their money the poor dont, and of coure bush isnt even suppose to be our president, cuz only in america can a guy get more votes in the presidenial race and not become president(gore). so what we have right now is an incompetent government trying to do the right thing and the greedy thing at the same time, neway im not for war but im for getting saddam out even if it means war, neway back to the real point!!, i got 76 twice in the last day, once second of my record, im gonna crash through 70 soon, and i mean soon!! |

Well said Dan. I suppose that our views are more similar than I would have first imagined. I am also weary of any binary associations like "Bush/Saddam = Evil", or statements like "The USA: Killing chindren for oil since 1991". I think that these types of statements accomplish nothing. Although, to be honest, I don't know what types of statements accomplish things either. ![]() |

James, good point. You are right that Cananda is pretty much invisible as far as the talking heads on tv are concerned. However, I don't necessarily get the impression a lot of people lump the US and Cananda together. Anonymous Surfer, anti-war sentiment is just fine with me. Every day my feelings about the war change. I just despise wacko leftists that make up a large portion of the protest crowds. My opinions are influenced by intelligent liberals, conservatives, and centrists that have solid, coherent arguments. Walking around with a sign that says "No Blood For Oil" or "Bush = Hilter" merely demonstrates stupidity. Pro-war protests make me uncomfortable. Even if a war is just and necessary, protesting "for" a war doesn't feel right to me. |

Dan, could you e-mail that to me too. Something really bothers me about the recent political quesion regarding how everyone says how Europeans are becoming more and more anti-American. What about us Canadians? It seems that everyone just asumes we are going along with the Americans because we share a border. On Wednesday my University held an anti-war rally with 5000 people at it, and there are only 30000 people on campus and it was -34 degrees; 2 of my 5 profs this year are American expatiots; we have television programs devoted to making fun of Americans; our gevernment does not support Bush while other European countries do (UK, Spain, Italy). All I am trying to say is that anti-American sentiment is just as stong here in Canada as it is in Europe. Happy birthday Damien. ![]() Sorry about the ranting. I think that the cold here is making me crazy. It hasn't been above -33 for 6 days now and I don't think that its going to let up. ![]() |

I listened to the speech. Quite impressive. The most thorough analysis of the situation I've heard so far. I'm not quite sure it's entirely fair and correct. I'm gonna have to think about that some more. Every thing he said made sense, but I still had this nagging feeling that he was missing something, or leaving some things unsaid. Maybe that's because of what he talks about: the way the Bush administration has treated the rest of the world for the past years and how that has influenced the way many people in Europe view America and Americans. I don't know... It is, however, by far the most balanced argument I've heard so far, from America or Europe. Thanks for pointing it out to us. |

On the subject of politics: I watched a fabulous speech yesterday on C-Span(US tv channel) about the muslim world and the US and world policy toward the muslim world. The speech deals with history and has quite a bit about the current situation with Iraq. It should be required listening for everyone on this planet. The speech is by a well-known, very smart New York Times columnist Tom Friedman. On this subject Mr. Friedman is about as even handed as one can get. There is no right-wing or left-wing bullshit involved. I strongly urge anyone with an interest in this subject to listen to the speech and Q&A. On the web page where the links are located, don't bother with the video feeds. Just listen to the audio only links for the speech itself and the Q&A. All together there is about 70 minutes of audio. You will need the Real Audio player. http://www.sais-jhu.edu/mediastream/TomFriedman03.htm If any of you listen to the speech and Q&A, I'd like to know what you think. |

Finally after a very very long drought, I topped one of my times. I was sweeping on intermediate for like an hour, then out of nowhere I got a 17. A few minutes later I got the 15. It feels so good to top a personal high again after so long. The minesweeper Gods are smiling on us all!! Keep sweeping!! |

there was a report of that 87 board, although i'd like the person who encountered it (bad memory) to bring it up again because i once had a board that the counter claimed was 103, but that was because i screenshot the game with the timer still going, and it turned out to be 167 when i reshot the game after finishing it. lowest i've knowingly met is a 123 that i lost. (yesterday on int i finished a 98 int board in 23, as well as a 77 in 18 for 4.3 click/s). |

SimCity because you have the riskier option of huge, fast, and rich, or the more secure one of smaller, slower and poorer |

hey all...this is off the minesweeper topic but i was feeling philosophical tonight. i would like to share my newfound "wisdom" ![]() 10 reasons life is not a video game: there is no pause button in life. if your back itches you have to keep playing and suffer. there is no finish line, goal, flagpole or set timer marking the end of life; it ends whenever it ends and you have to keep playing until then, even when the game becomes boring and even when you start to lose. you only get one life; there are no enchanted mushrooms to bring you back if you fall into a pit. life does not pit you against an unintelligent AI or a few other people. there are six billion other players trying to beat you. you can't kill everyone who gets in your way in life There is no reset button in life, nor are you able to save your progress and pick up where you leave off if something goes wrong if you are hurt in life, it takes more than a mutton chop or a loaf of bread to heal you...and your "life meter" consists of much more than your physical health. your character in life can not operate continually without rest and not feel fatigue. you don't win by amassing so much wealth or killing so many people/aliens or by rescuing so many maidens...in fact, there is no "victory" in life. you simply go for the highest score possible; what is worth points is up to you to decide. if life IS a video game, you are not the one holding the controller; God is. If life IS a video game, it is: Diablo, because you start out weak and powerless but through your actions you build up your character's strengths. Tetris, because there is no "victory" but your level of success depends on how you deal with what factors outside of your control deal you, and ultimately, no matter what, you "die" NFL Blitz, because some people love it and can't get enough of it and others hate it and can't wait to be done with it. SimCity, because you have the option |

Ignatius ... re. Beginner scores ... I've been Sweeping for 10 years & 'til just 4 weeks ago I couldn't crack 4 'cos I didn't think it could be done & gave up trying at that level. Then I discovered this web site & read that a number of people had scored 1 ... I too found it hard to believe but I felt Sweeping folk must be honest folk so I started trying again. I scored 3 on 5th Feb & 2 on 24th Feb ... 1 here I come ![]() |

Woo hoo, just got a 20, had no idea I was even doing well and the name box popped up. Ignatius I have never gotten a 1, but gotten 2 a lot of times. It's a lot of luck, my first 2 came on a board that required only 2 clicks. The first clicked revealed all but 11 squares, and it took me about a second to left click the 1 that wasn't a mine and that was it. |

Naomi: send your scores to thefinerminer@hotmail.com and you will be listed in 2007. Haha, just kidding Damien, I know you're busy ![]() Nice to see a female sweeper. By the way: I don't play anymore. I don't think I will have a comeback and I'm not sure for how long I will be able to go on with my work for the Active Ranking. People who are interested in taking over in the future: please e-mail me already. I will contact you when I have to quit. Thanks. Did anyone speak to Dan the last few days? The AR still isn't updated and he didn't contact me to say he didn't receive the list. ![]() |

Matthew, if you go to the Minesweeper-addicts Yahoo group you'll find at least two handy progams in the 'Files' section, the Minesweeper Count Recorder (count_rec) and Minesweeper Reader. The Count Recorder counts clicks, 3BV etc. while you play and the Minesweeper Reader can tell you the 3BV of a board if you have a screenshot of it. |

Matthew, the 3BV of the board is 142 which makes it not the worst board (low 3BV, but 5 1-square-openings). Further analysis had to be done by flaggers. For a non-flagger like me, it's an average board, I think. |

I just beat my expert record! I was wondering if some of the more experienced players could look at the screen shot and tell me if the board is easy and I got lucky or if its not an easy board and I can improve. Perhaps you can rank it on a scale of Lass 50s, Lasse 40s, or Lasse 30s. I really like this site. ![]() |

On second thought, I rather like that stat because no mater what it will continually get lower (as one's age constantly rises and one's scores are static). Oh, and Brian, I already have a 'mate'. Her name is Kendra and I love her very much. Sorry if I mislead you in any way ![]() |
