Thanks to the people who voted for me for the IMC. I didn't make it this time around but thanks anyway. I appreciate the support! A few surprises for me when looking at the results but there were so many good candidates, so it was hard to tell how the results would turn out. Congrats to the people who got elected! I hope you'll do a good job for the Minesweeper community!

I met with Jake last April when I was on vacation in Florida. He was able to consistently play int at near 3 3BV/s and blasted a sub20 a few clicks from the end. And yes, he did click the sh*t out of my mouse. His exp record (as I recall) was 53 at the time. The level he played at was consistent with his 53 considering that the setup was so bad that the entire week I used it I found it extremely difficult to sub85 (my record was 64) on expert or even sub4 on beginner.

@Christoph: Just a correction... he has only played MS for me once, and he did indeed play far from his scores, but I was watching and he was more limited by my setup... he was playing faster than he was physically playing, if that makes sense. It was in another meeting where he played nono, and he matched his high score on that (this is after I improved my setup, and nono is not exactly mouse intensive).

@all: Happy new year, and to those who voted for me for the IMC, thank you.

@Betty: Already when Jake was in the mid50s I heard the first voices who suspected him to cheat. There was never a clear proof that he cheated but some suspicious moments and behavior. Never someone saw him score a good game live. When he met Daniel he played far away from his claimed scores and prefered doing some nonosweeper then. So there's also no proof he's not cheating. Then he started to play really close to the worldrecords in a pretty unbeliveable manner. There was a long discussion in the IMC whether or not he's cheating. When he then came up with the 9 we decided to ask him for additional proof. We're still waiting. So we decided to not update his scores untill someone trustable saw him play some really good games (or till he manages to convince us in a different way). Since his 9 he keeps on claiming sub13 on and on but seems to not take any videos.
I personally hope, that we can verify his scores as soon as possible. If he'd show up at the worldchampionships that would be a perfect opportunity.
I think about this issue over and over and considered traveling to the states to find a solution, but on the other there might others come up with suspicious scores and I can't visit them all (at least at the moment I can't).
btw, Betty, where are you from?

First of all, Happy New Year everyone!

About my minesweeper goals for 2007, I don't really have some...
Becoming French n°1 is a goal I have since I discovered some other people were playing minesweeper.
I'm 2s away from this goal, getting it would make me enter in the BE top ten, too.

Then I guess I have these 2 goals for 2007.

Happy sweeping all!

PS : I uploaded my history to the Clone ranking, then reset it. It's so fast to open now!!

I still have a couple of questions about the 9 second intermediate video.

1) Are they questioning all of his scores or just this video?
2) Are they saying it is board memorization or not real at all?

New Years Resolutions...

Last Year: (I was at 1-18-70)
-To stay ahead of Daniel Brim, Rilian, and Levente on bestever and AR (already 21-80 this period)
-sub60 on exp, sub90 NF
-sub15 on int
-4.5 3bvs beginner
-4 3bvs int
-3 3bvs exp

So I met all of my goals except for 4 3bvs int and keeping up with DB and Badgers...

This year:

Optimistic:
-Sub50 expert
-Sub13 intermediate
-3.5 3bvs expert
-4.5 3bvs intermediate
-6 3bvs beginner
-STOP PLAYING SO MUCH MINESWEEPER

Realistic:
-Sub55 expert
-Sub14 intermediate
-3.3 3bvs expert
-4.1 3bvs intermediate
-5.5 3bvs beginner

So yeah...

Blasted an est56 140/169 last night... several other disappointing blasts. Hopefully another sub60 will come soon.

Happy New Year to all!

Betty:
It has not neen accepted by the IMC and some sweepers believe that it is fake. I do not, but it wont be accepted until Jake proves that he can play at that level somehow.
@WP:
Yeah, I meant that. I like taking the risk more, 33/160 is a small enogh chance IMO
Then again, if you can remember the place and return there quickly when you're done with the rest, it's probably still relatively efficient in the long run.

(I have a few, uh, suggestions/remarks for the IMC, but I think I’ll leave that for later, let y’all have a bit of breathing space first )
That's the spirit, I agree

I wanted to wish everybody a Happy New Year and hope you're having some nice holidays.
I'm back home and enjoying my time here .
I saw there are a lot of records falling these days, Grats to everybody , sorry but I don't have time to install anything to watch the videos right now , but I'll get back to them eventually...

I did watch your video Kat, the one of the 81 game, just minutes before I left, and I think it was great, you would have deserved a 75-76 there at least, too bad the last squares were hidden in very tricky places... it was the best played sup-80 record I had ever seen

goals for 2007 are nothing new, I have had them for a long time actually.
=A sub-60 (57 would be awesome)
=a sup-3 3BV/s, I've had that within my reach an innumerable amount of times, never nailed it
=participate in the world championship
=a sup-4 3BV/s in the intermediate would be great, but I'm afraid that's out of my reach.

I saw somebody mentioning their retiring goals, mine would have been 2-15-55 , which is not achievable anymore since I overdid it in the intermediate and somehow got a 14

oh, and grats to the new IMC memebers (sorry for the inconsistensy of the post )

Gëzuar! [Cheers!]

Incredible game Dion!!!
Say you had been in shape when you got this board, what do you think you would have gotten?
I UPKed it without having seen it (courtesy of schu ) and blasted on the hidden mine in the bottom right corner. Way to finish in the only place that makes finishing the board possible I guess everyone would take their chances in the corner if they were just passing that area. (Would anyone here not?)

As for me, I had a couple of interesting sweeping days lately. I got into a style where I flagged and chorded much more, getting into the mid6es in terms of cls/s. (I dont intend to keep it up.) I blasted most games and got average results on the rest, but there were a couple of good estimates that I blasted, I got 36 est 44 on 112 and 2 very narrow NF sub60 misses, both of them very close to the end, and one of them on a forced guess. (My NF exp record is currently 63). I think that I will pull through the training program I had planned for december in january, I will decide on that tomorrow. Tomorrow will at any rate be the last day where I will get to sweep for long periods, as I will continue catching up on schoolwork after that.

Holy crap Dion, way to just shrug off a bloody world record! Very nice mouse path, I think that's another world record (well, at least it's better than olis 39, and that's the shortest I'd seen). I'll put this on youtube when I get a chance

Thanks for the congrats about IMC! I'll be arriving on the 9th of Jan.... but I won't ring once I'm there, it'll be early in the morning but yeah, I'll do that (later in the day), good to hear you'll be around!

Last time you got an expert record I got one about a week later, and I'm in good form! Hopefully I'll have a nice record before I get to Sydney...

Hi all,

thanks Joni and Rilian for nominating me (I didn´t have time to thank you earlier ). Thanks all 4 sweepers voting for me I really didn´t expect it.

I wanted to write down my ideas about what IMC should and shouldn´t do, but my poor english wouldn´t let me do it in short time and I really lacked time during the last month (I almost didn´t even play tournaments in my beloved nonosweeper ). Maybe I will have chance to reveal my opinions in Budapest where I hope to meet at least 4 IMC members .

Grats to all elected representatives and happy sweeping in the next year.

Congrats to all the incumbents, and a special congrats to DB and gergely, fellow newcomers! Hard luck Rodrigo and to all others that missed out as well.

Well, everyone, I hope I serve you all well. First thing for me is trying to further organise twingalaxies and guinness record submission, then revamping OBV, and whatever other IMC business there is.

I'm not sure I'm able to achieve any goal which is not completed at this moment, but I hope to do the following:
1. Be in top3 in Budapest 2007
2. Flagging goals: sum of 3BV/s >=15 (can be done), 10 and 42 (can't be done )
3. Non-flagging goals: definetely sub13!

@Damien: Yeah, I was COMPLETELY stunned as well last night when I posted that result in the IRC after glancing at my counters window. Don't worry, I plan to use the majority of the 2007 year to improve on my expert statistics in order to become a world-class player! My stats are really lopsided 3bv/s-wise, haha. But then again, so are my amount of games per level (20095 beg, 3099 int, 406 exp). Slightly over 3000 intermediate games before I got a sup5, sheesh...

@Ian: Thanks d00d, I will work on that sub-50!

In other news, I attained a 4th best intermediate time of 13,57 on a 31 board... I seem to always hit 13 on 31's.

TamMinhBui has finished 19 int games today: 19 flagging. Best were 13,57 sec on 31 3BV board and 5,17 3BV/s on 87 3BV board. Averages: Time=19,75 3BV/s=3,41 3BV=64.84

Way to go Tam!! Now go get sub-50

I have decided upon a new target for expert time:
55 - (0.75 * No. of months before December I get sub-55)

So that, if I do it in April for example, my target would be 49.

Hopefully I will not go and get a 55 now


Oh, also, grats DB as well. You can go get sub-50 as well

I was so close to getting a 51 on a 153 board today, but I hit the last square and realized I had to search for another square that I missed. Turned into a 57,55

@DB: Way to finally break some records!

Anyone in our community plays chess ? I found a nice site where you can play online unlimited number of chess games (up to 12 games at the same time without any payments and such), so if anyone interested, follow the link, register and click "join game" or "start game"

http://gameknot.com/?rfr=rilian

i am going to pawn ya

(i do not get anything if you follow my referer link, but it would be nice to know who i refered from community)

ps: i know another site for chess but they allow to play only 5 games without payment so i will not give their link, haha

cya!

I just downloaded Clone yesterday. I pretty much play only custom-density boards (mainly 24x30). I was wondering what I need to do to be able to submit scores to the Custom Lists. I don't want to finally get my 205 only for it to not count. Thanks!

54.056 on a 147! That's my second best time as well, only behind my 53 by 0.13 seconds or so. Yet again, I got 3 sub60s in a night, this time the aforementioned 54, a 55 on a really hard 119 (way to finish the 17 opening board), and a 59 on a 161.

@All: Have a happy holiday season. Happy sweeping, especially

Oh yeah, I would also like to secure a safe position in the top-20 by the end of next year. I am sooo close to being in the top 30, but I am only 1 or 2 ranks away.

@Kat: Aim for one-second, sub15, and sub60

Classic: 1 + 12 + 52 = 65
3bv/s: 7,34 + 4,65 + 3,30 = 15,29
RQP: 0,34 + 3,27 + 17,81 = 21,42

Those are my current stats after a year's session of sweeping. I pretty much smashed every single goal I set for this year, such as attaining a sup-6 3bv/s on beginner mode. I remember being so proud of entering bestever and thinking that my improvement was limited because I had no idea how to improve by just watching the videos of great players, but by playing often and learning from the best, I reduced my long time barrier of 1-15-75 to 1-12-52. Thomas is right about a year being a LONG time (so aim for higher goals, Ian!), and I already felt ambitious anyway. My goals for the 2007 year are:

-11 on Intermediate
-sup5 on Intermediate
-sub50 on expert (I would like at least five)
-3bv/s of at least 3.8 on expert (which would be a .5 improvement from my current record)
-100 more sub60s on expert

My ideal times before retiring are 1-10-45; I am still noticing improvement on intermediate, and I think it is entirely possible, although extremely difficult. That expert estimate is only a safe measure... I think I can perhaps do better, but we'll see ;-)

And since I am going to try to stay off of the computer for the next couple of days, I would like to wish eveyone a Merry Christmas (or whatever holiday you celebrate!) and a Happy New Year! Good luck in all your resolutions, minesweeper-related or not.

Ian, you can do more than that. You can get a low 50 at the very most and you should get a sup4 extremely quickly if you have 3,8 already.

More confidence :D Think about how long a year is :D

I have to concede that I never set long-term goals for myself, maybe because I was not as active this time last year.
I am not sure if I will set goals for 2007. But I guess that my dream scores would be somewhere around 1-12-44. The one being the least likely to come true :-D
Also, I would like to sub60 expNF, and I would like to get a sub50 in Budapest
But of course that's highly speculative
But I think I could pull it off, so far I usually played my best on tourneys (I got 5 sub20es in 40 minutes last tourney in vienna, one of them a 15, also, I got a pretty low score in the 50es, a 53 I think). If I get round to train for a fair amount of time I guess I should be able to do it!
And yes, I am back to regular sweeping again, the holidays have started, and I got around to get a lot of the schoolwork done already, I will have to work a lot in the holidays, but the worst is over.
I got back into the game extremely quickly, I got a 52 (second best time, I had a PHS (Post-Highscore Syndrome with a LOT of 53es)) and as I am writing this I got a 61 on 198 at 3,27 3bvs/s.
Merry christmas everyone!

Since I only got any sort of Recorder in September this year (3-24-68), all I know is that at the beginning of 06 my Exp record was 76

I'd quite like to get 55 or below in 2007, and sup-4 on Int (record 3.83 at time of writing). As for Int time, I guess 13 would be good. But perhaps not likely

Good luck to all, and merry christmas!

Still 53 / Still 3.18 3bv/s / Still 20.07 RQP

Comments:  

Had an excellent sweeping session tonight. Three sub60s even, and upped my max 3bv on a sub60 to 160. I also had 2 RQP 20s in a row, bringing that total to 4. I also had some rather painful blasts, the two paramount ones being Est 51 128/133 and a LC 58 on a 192 (3.34 3bv/s, 17.5ish RQP). The LC was on a misclick, too, so it's even more painful.

As far as resolutions go... this time last year I was 2-20-80... and my resolutions were to make BE, sub70, and sub18 on int. I got all of them in rather short order.
This year, my resolution list is rather short. My goal for 2007 is to sub50. Here's hoping it can happen.

Since the New Year is coming, I guess it's time for the "What are your goals in 2007"-post.

My goals for 2006 were: Top 100 on BE, sub 60, sup 3 and 4. Got it all except the sup 4

2007: Sub 50, sup 4 on int, sup 6 on beg get a permanent top 50 ranking on BE, and do well at the WC

@elmar: the WRanking shows your 12.59 now....I don't know why it didn't get selected when the list was made....but it will work next time.

@zhang: your 49 is in the rankings. i haven't updated the video page for two months (Thomas, Jonathan, Ace, and you). i want to make a completely new page, but if i don't have time i will add you to the current one. you can still upload videos to www.metanoodle.com/minesweeper/upload
