//My opinion: as the link below shows, the (Clone) click counter isn't accurate, so it should not be used to disqualify games//

what can i say - that is the CLONE lag! what can you say a program which gives different results on the equal inputs?? the speed is calculated incorrectly, the time is calculated as well incorrectly too, and, as i wrote in past about that: try to make a 30x30 custom board on clone and put there some mines (for example 10). then, do a leftclick and you will see how is your 0 SECONDS game (as a 1 3BVS game) is estimated! my 2,6ghz/512ram computer gives up to 0.17 seconds... is not it enough for a program which is used to "rank" sweepers? of course, you may tell that this lagging is little and you may ignore it... but it is just a habit to use a "Clone". there is another - precise emulator, which uses bios references to estimate time and truncated mathematical formulas to estimate speed. it's name is Arbiter

After 59x3 I finally managed to break my expert record again. It's been three and a half months since I broke 60 so it feels great to get a new record. After the last click I hesitated for a second because my computer stopped to think for a sec or so... I figured it was just saving my vid as so many times before but then suddenly the record sign popped up. I couldn't believe it! 56.17 on a 131 3bv board. I guess the UPK practice earlier today has helped me somehow!...? Needless to say this was NF!

I now have a total of 70 so I just need to beat one of my records once more to get my total below 70!

@Steavn: game times are not too dependent of the fast clicking (involving the lag of the efficiency). when it is easy to detect this cheating comparing down-up timestamps, this time restriction is senseless.

Ive got simple idea about fast left clicking like in Elmar vids. As it is impossible to forbid ppl to do at leaste hardware fast left clicking I think we should restrickt maximum lc/s on 6 for exp, 7 for int and 8 for beg. What do you think about this?!

After 10 days of elections we have a tie. Several candicates have the same number of votes, but the number of free chairs in IMC is not enough.

IMC requests votes of the sweepers who didn't vote yet.

Thank you for understanding of delay.

@Arjarde: What do you think about coordinating your board of the week with the AR? So a board of the period instead week

I guess my scores for the AR will be worse these days. I've to change my computer and my mouse.

Greetings. I am new here, just looking at some of your amazing best times. I am relatively new at minesweeper, and my high scores are falling some. I am practicing every day, although it is only once in awhile that I actually clear expert. Is that normal? Anyways, I also like to play high density boards (I cleared 25 mines on a beginner XP board). Anyways, I guess I'll go back into the shadows for now.

My two records were both done during this AR period, so I'm finally going to join it... with a 102, or maybe better ...

I'll upload the vid soon...

International Minesweeper Committee

Comments:
From the point of view of last events concerned with Elmar's method of playing minesweeper community showed itself as an organization which is unable to make decisions what is considered as a cheat and what is legal. Existing methods of decision making (guestbook, yahoo group polls) are not enough effective. The suggestion is to create elective International Minesweeper Committee. This committee will make decisions in situations when public discussion is useless and inefficient, sometimes to prevent claims of unrealistic results.

IMC will be composed of seven players with sufficient experience. Elections will be annual, all sweepers of community can vote. Any of elected IMC members can refuse his membership at any time, community will choose another player to replace him. Discussions within IMC are nonpublic, but all decisions will be published.

Please vote by sending e-mail to i.m.c@hotmail.com, you can choose up to seven players from bestever. All information about your e-mail/vote is confidental. The results this elections are hidden until the end of elections, they will be published on September,15.

@Dimitry: Detrusor decided to call the NF 3bv/s master 'non flagging king' and I think he decided to do so because he really admired the fast NF'ers. In order to get a 47 you certainly do have to be fast but luck is certainly involved a lot as well and I'm sure several of the best sweepers could go that low with the right board. However, I'm not sure that several of the best sweepers could get 3.39 3bv/s on expert or 4.20 3bv/s on int. It's just my personal opinion, of course, but I've always cared more about 3bv/s than about time - at least ever since 3bv was introduced to the Minesweeper Community!

@Arjádre: the clone uses the exact time for 3bv/s calculation but not for clicks/s calculations - only with two digits... Something like that. I had it happen as well on the 3.99 I got on a 16 3bv board with 16 clicks NF!

@Jan: I think 3.72 3bv/s NF is pretty d*mn nice! Great job. I got 3.74 twice and didn't think I could go much higher until I suddenly got 3.93x2 --> 3.97 --> 4.20! Just keep going and you'll get 'lucky' too and your speed will probably keep improving as well. But please, don't take that crown away from me too soon, okay?

hello Marko! i remember you as a man who helped me A LOT with a nice arbiter features ideas

i do not know how many int records were done and are on the bestever - with a lw 3bv boards - but there are some, like Rodrigo's 15 sec / 26 bv etc. Better to ask Detrusor about the amounts ^. As well, after the "lowest 3bv allowed" debates ended, the 2-26-95 (as i remember) limits were set for arbiter and i guess for clone too. You are lucky!

Congratulations you and all the record breakers of the last times!

After a really (really really) long break from minesweeper I got a 15.37 using arbiter 0.42... with a 3bv of 26. Will this one be ok or should I open the window so I don't cut myself when I jump out?

@all: on the clone, I got a 3 3bv board and lost it , but decided to replay it. My best replay (UPK!) was 1,48 seconds, with 3 clicks NF. At the end of that game, the 3bv/s read, correctly, about 6,25, but the clicks per second read something like 6,76 (I'm not sure, exactly, but I am sure that the values were different.) Can I have an explanation

Also- I am now accepting submissions posted on the UPK part (French) of Detrusor's forum Remember- the deadline is Saturday at 20:00 GMT/4:00PM EDT.

I decided to play a little beginner and after about one minute and two finished games I got 3.99 NF on a 16 3bv board (16 clicks). This means that my 3bv/s total has now passed 12.50 (12.52) and as far as I know I'm the first player to do that NF. Needless to say I did NOT use the Elmar "cheat"!

@Detrusor: I uploaded my history file and it seems that the statistics are updated immediately but the rankings are not. Why is this and when will they be updated? I hope to see that crown next to my name soon. It's always been my goal to become non-flagging KING!

Regarding UPK: don't forget to send in scores- deadline Saturday at 20:00 GMT/ 4:00 PM EDT- submit them through my e-mail (below), or in this guestbook, my guestbook, or in Dmitriy's forum... Don't hesitate to post your progression, and as you progress- it will be interesting to see your times... NF Scores will be ranked in the main ranking and in a separate ranking.

On another note, I'm curious as to how many and what language(s) members of the community speak. I speak English and am in my 5th year of Spanish (Espanol).

@Gergely: 1. Thanks. 2. Sorry for "silent ignore" of your Article. As Christoph mentioned, it took a bit thinking to reply, and there were some other events happened as well as IMC Secretary WAS SILENT (till 15 september? when the poll would be closed?). Sorry, i will remind here your post, Gergely. I think it will help. ok

This IMC idea is not a bad one. BUT first, imho, the community has to think about the concrete allocated rights going to this supreme board. Because, if you just vote for people and they get elected, then they make decisions which some parties do not accept, now that creates much greater mess than this whole Elmar-story recently. So, as I think noone protested against this Commitee of ours, the biggest step is made, but here comes the annoying part: defining the authorities of the supreme board; making the final version public (or creating a poll to choose from different versions) and THEN electing the members.
So, here's my kind of paragraphs (not full version, just what comes to my mind right now):
1. The Commitee should decide the questionable record breakers' cases. (using programmers' /experts' / opinions)
2. The Commitee should represent the minesweeper community just like a sport federation's board represents the sport itself, e.g. giving their names to events, sites, even products.
3. The Commitee should create polls in larger cases (clone results' acceptance, annual re-election etc.) the results of which would be mandatory to the Community.
X. I know, these sound quite serious, but I think most of us want to take the game to a higher level. So, if such a Commitee is to be made, it has to have rights and prestige. Maybe we should even registrate it in some country. So, look for your lawyer buddies and ask them about it!

Here are some "new" ideas for IMC:

* It shlould exist.

* As soon as the IMC would be formatted, the "rights" poll/discussion should start for a limited time interval. IMHO, there constantly should be setted the overcome barrier for the every single "right", because this will help to stop discussions in the case of "if you just vote for people and they get elected, then they make decisions which some parties do not accept, now that creates much greater mess than this whole Elmar-story recently."

* As for "defining the authorities of the supreme board; making the final version public (or creating a poll to choose from different versions) and THEN electing the members." - if anybody have a poll ideas, the full polls engine of minesweeper-community.com site would be given for his/her management (i mean, admin rights to create/edit/change). this is much easier, than managing the yahoo polls, because voters even do not need to have the spammy yahoo account.
so, please, suggest which authorities in your opinion should IMC staff have. the proper thread opened. (link below)

* hehe, i liked the "giving their names to ... products" idea! let's produce the "I am the fastest sweeper!" T-shirts . generally, the name to the invention gives tha inventor, but, i think, there would not problems at all with this question.

* to be continued..

@Gergely: Yes, I missed reactions as well. Your post was a bit difficult to answer, because the idea is clearly a good one but it takes a bit of thinking to produce a sensefull reaction. On the one hand it's clear that the IMC will have to draw a line what is cheating and what is not. But what will it has to do beside that? Representing the community? Organizing meetings? Tell Microsoft that the original MineSweeper produces so many bugs?
I think you discribed it perfectly with compareing MineSweeper with sports. We have rankings, we have tournaments, we have cheaters and we're practicing and compeeting. It is a sport - and an interesting one.
I'd like so hear a reaction form the IMC secretary (and I'd like if he gave himself a name).
@Elmar: Gerne doch. Was ich noch vergessen hatte zu sagen: Ich glaube, Du solltest die Abtastfrequenz Deiner Maus erhöhen.

I'm a bit sad, because my post about my suggestions on the IMC-topic has vanished quietly. I thought that was something thought-provoking, instead the only reaction was that minesweeper is not a sport. Well, yes, it's only cybersport
Anyway, I liked the new site, Dmitriy

@ Arjàdre : About the UPK contest - can we solve the board with the flagging style? I ask that because lower you tell us that we MAY NOT flag. And I'm a f***in' flagger!
So is it forbidden to flag or not?

On June 18th, my scores were 95-27-2, and my goal was 85-22-1 by July 12... It seems I predicted my progresion with good accuracy with regard to the times, but not the dates Maybe I'll get a 1 eventually...
