WOW! Last AR period when I was ranked as #3 I thought for sure I would never be ranked higher than that and if Elmar had submitted times I would have only been #4... Well, this period I'm ranked as NUMBER TWO!!! And this time it's not because someone forgot to submit their times - at least as far as I can tell there is no one anywhere near me with a time penalty. I'll never be #1 as long as Dion plays so this is the best I can be. VERY nice feeling! I already have 13-54 for next period... Gotta improve on that 54 though!

The sad thing is, I just played that game for fun on a friends winmine. I was so mad that I didn't have a video. But I did grab a screen shot (not like that really proves anything...)

Thanks. Yours was better than mine, by far. Although it's interesting that we got sub-100 within 2 days of each other with very similar circumstances and then get sub-90 on the same day. Do you have the video for yours? I'm still annoyed at myself for my efficiancy on that board (33%... ouch), but a record is a record)

@Dmitriy:

I'm only 10 seconds behind you now.

James C. I think we agree. I don't think it should be accepted.

100% sure it's a bug. I don't know what causes it but just 20 minutes ago I started the clone and the mode was set for UPK from the beginning with 86 mines.

Comments:  

I guess that depends on how likely you think it is that someone can "accidentally" forget that their clone is set up on cheat mode, and then "swear" that they didn't know. I am not saying that this is what you did, because I actually do believe your story, and that you are capable of such a score. (I busted a 61 myself on a 50/50) But you do see my point, I think. It's one word against another. I have no recollection of playing the exact board that I got my 13 on, but it's just my word against anyone else's. I don't see anyone backing me on that one. So look for the little cheat word next to your mouse next time, eh?

Comments:  

Everybody calm down, especially Ralph, Chill and Arjadre. Well... I think if Dion had gotten this table he would have beat his 39. Ahh... This is really embarrasing I've looked at the video some more and turns out that it was a board with less than 99 mines... 86 to be precise (Arjadre, one of your boards?), so I wasn't going that fast. I did some research and one of my friends who also sweeps has played UPK on my computer since I told him not to play classic. However that was several weeks ago so why it was suddenly in UPK-mode again I cannot explain. But it also happened yesterday and I know for sure that I didn't change level or mode. So I'm pretty certain that it's a bug. Beware sweepers! Terrible thing to lose a record just because of some stupid bug.

Another thing is... Thanx for trusting me, but should we really accept a record this way?

Well... I put aside a large amount of time today to sweep. First thing I got a 200 board and did it fairly well. Overall, not a great time day or 3bv/s day, but a good quantity day. I did get another 94.

Either way, I'm submitting the same times as last period for AR (24-93), because that's what I had before... I'll get an improvement next period!

@Chill: i just occasionaly read your message "And try to remember not to close the Clone while it's minimized, cause that's what causes the problem." .. dunno for winXP exactly, but the minimized process in windows along with disabled visibility gets the lowest coords which it can get (for a variable that stores the value) and i guess Clone just saves them and all. As for Arbiter, all is stable (as usually). to be clear: it checks the coords and if the main window or it's part is out of the screen, then it just sets the nearest coords for the screen and saves them.

@All record breakers: ... I think this is the most records in one day I've seen...
@Christoph: WOW
@Rasmus: congrats! That has happened to me, so there's a real possibility that there's a bug... it usually happens after I go into cheat mode to replay a low-3BV board and come out of it, so that's an alternative theory... I have no problem with the record being accepted, either, not that my opinion matters...The community operated on the honor system for so long, it'll be a shame if your record isn't accepted... anyway, congrats on breaking the technical minute barrier!

This is one for the books

Come home with my new pad, play a little expert. In no time at all a very sweet 121 board pops up. I play it with good speed and within 30 seconds or so I can see that if I just complete it, I'll have a new record. Sure enough... Did it in 60 seconds and I'm like "YAHOO"! Funniest thing tho' the record window didn't pop up, and I go to check my record and it's still on 67 seconds. I look the video through keeping an eye on the counter and everything seems normal. At this point I'm pretty sure I have a new record and it's just a bug in the program. Until I look at the counters window and realize the game was set for UPK mode!

)#¤#()/#¤/#(¤/"#=!"!!!!

I NEVER play UPK and have absolutely no clue to what could have happened.

Nice game Rodrigo, really too bad you had to look for the last square so long. I thought I was about to catch up with you, but like Chill you leave me in the dirt

Haven't played a lot these last few fays cos my mousepad is so worn down that it's started cracking. That makes Minesweeper somewhat a bumpy adventure. No fun at all. But today I'm getting my new super mousepad. From the same company that makes steelpad, only this one is in plastic. +(!) it's size XL! I actually have trouble keeping my mouse on the pad since my mouse speed is so slow, but that problem should be fixed now. Gimme a couple of days, see if I should recommend it to you...

@ Daniel Brim. I think for the clone, you just need to open your minesweeperclone.inf file and if the variables Main X and Main Y show something like -16384, change them to 200 for both or so (that's what i did with my 1024x768 resolution). And try to remember not to close the Clone while it's minimized, cause that's what causes the problem. As for the Arbiter, I haven't got a clue Good luck with that.

I still can't understand what happened! I've just watched Christoph's video, and decided to play a little. Then I wasn't playing that fast, and I also wasn't playing NF, but a nice board appeared and I don't know why I felt so much comfortable playing it NF. Ended up getting a 62 after searching the last mine for many seconds, so, could have been a sub-60. So nice!!!! Video is linked below.

Finally!
After two years of frustration in which I could not even tie my my 61 but only played tons of 62s. I finally did it. My hand felt suddenly so good. And then the 60 box popped up. In the next two minutes I played a 64 and a second 60. And again two minutes later I finished a 74 with 16 secs of searching the last square. From then on I played as focused as never befor and got a 57 right away. But than all from nothing IT happend. The session didn't even last for half an hour when my look at my the screen full of doubt and unbelive, but the timer said IT: 51 and I have the vid. I played on for half an hour and got 59, 62, 62, 55, 59, 60 and 55. Then I just couldn't go on. At the moment the IMC has a look at the vid and when I'll go to the cluster this evening I can link it here.

@Robert&Gustaf: game on.

I just thought I'd post here for the first time.

Now: People that post on Detrusors forum might know me as the guy who does strange probabilistic calculations, and I intend to shed some light on this 3bv problem by working out the probabilities of 3bvs (as well as the average).

Will post with that soon!

Also, I consider it a moot point, because we should be working to make things like the average 25, active ranking and tounaments more important, which would mean the possibility of getting a super-low 3bv will not impact very much. Best ever will always be interesting, but, speaking for myself, I have 1 64, 1 70, then a bunch of the rest of the scores from 71 up, so that 64 is hardly indicative of my skill (and it was about 121 3bv, which is just about the lowest I've seen), so I think best-ever lists shouldn't be taken as the main ranking.

I hope I wasn't too incoherant....

hello everybody!

today I upgraded my site to the newer version. Now it works better. I also got some themes which would be installed on days.

I also uploaded Arbiter 0.43 demo which seems to be 0.429 version. the list of already implemented features is quite large to post it here, shortly there are a load of new game-style related features, new programmable counters window (you may create indicators formulas by yourself), new mouse path drawing tool, 3bv/s pop-up window and ability to load local records from history file, enhanced irc scripts, new menu design.. lol, and much more. Main adding pending features are programmable chart tool for statistics, forced and wasted guesses logging, blasted games information logging, local profiles support, enhanced automatical saving options and more.. the list of all new features is on the site. the "0.43 demo" version is fully compatible with previous and next versions

Good news everybody If I continue in my current pace, cutting 1/100 of a second off my exp time every 28 days, it will only take me some 220 years to beat Dion's time. Isn't it wonderful? Better quit smoking if I wanna live that long

Lance I think that point with limits is to eliminate luck to GET some board, not to finish it. Getting 1 3bv is luck, getting 25 on int is not luck, but finishing off course is.

@Johannes:

I can finish about 2 games an hour now... still low than my 1 board a week rate I had 2 months ago

@All: I would appreciate it if you could help me with my clone issues. Thanks.

Hi everyone.. i used to play a ton of minesweeper and have recently been readdicted. In the latest stint of playing i have been able to improve my intermediate and beginner score but am having some real difficulty with expert. I always seem to be able to get through 1/2 or 2/3 of the board with a sub 100 estimate and then die. I was wondering what the typical completion rate for expert boards is. i feel i am busting too many boards... thanks.

When I got home, the clone wasn't working. Only the clicks window was opening. I restarted and even reinstalled but nothing worked. I also tried the arbiter, but that wasn't working either. I'm playing clone 0.96 now... but I would like 0.97 back. Any ideas?

c'mon guys. we've had this 3bv limits discussion before. I may not be active in this community any more, but it's ridiculus to watch the same topic be brought up over and over again, it's just like politics. Introduce a topic, it gets shot down, and you reintroduce it 6 months later as new and improved. Well, it's still not better. this community has been playing minesweeper for 10-15 years, and between everyone here, MILLIONS of boards have been played, and not one has been been the dreaded board - the one that can be finished in 7 seconds (or 30 seconds for expert) on the first try. There is no need for 3bv limits.

If you want to fool yourself into thinking you have prevented disaster, make the limits equal to the lowest observed scores from the original Minesweeper game, which were beg: 1 3bv; int: 24 3bv; and exp: 86 3bv. Once you do that, count how many times in a 1-year period anyone finishes a game with a 3bv even 10% higher than that (except 1 3bv on beginner), and see of those (if there are any), how many are records.

Keep the game fun, and happy sweeping!

Lance

i spent the last few weeks (without internet) trying microsoft access, and am now converting all lists into a proper database. you may have noticed that there are many duplicates and incorrect personal information...that should all change when finished. at the moment i have no way to track each person and their scores, now all records are related. it may not sound very exciting, but this will enable me to automatically generate lists and rankings: no one will be missed now, from error on my part.
(i know, i know....detrusor is way ahead of me!)
so...i would appreciate if everyone sent updated scores, including the clone, at their leisure so the mistakes disappear. thanks!
i still have a way to go...i've only convereted 410 of an estimated 2700 individuals! (i have to match scores from the lists to a single person...my old lists are too confused to do so with a program.. )

I just checked and out of 5824 games on int I haven't finished 1 sub 30 yet. I do recall a 27 once but blew up right away. Of 1531 games on exp I've only finished 11 sub 130's, lowest was a 119.

Perhaps it's just me. I know I have a very high avg 3BV, just check the clone rankings. If I'm lucky I get 2 or 3 sub 40 boards on int per day, and rarely finish any. Only 45 out of 5824

So from my point of view the limits are just fine since they probably won't affect my game.

Finished an int in 20 last night. Seems I'm getting better

And I'm also looking at my best AR score ever with my 18 and a very decent exp time (you'll know on friday ).

See Rasmus, two weeks ago I was still at 67 on expert so you where **** close then. Too bad for you that it changed . Still haven't been able to post my 62 on the bestever, so you will only find me there with my scores of 67-17-1. It seems that I've tried to register on planet minesweeper before, but something went wrong so now I can't log-in. Since my computer refuses to send mails to Detrusor, I can't send in my record nor complain about it I'll find a way somehow, I really want to go up that ranking now. Anyways good luck Rasmus! Any competition is welcome

You finished 4?! And you think you should remove them?! Thats insane. I doubt someone finished 4 1 3bv beg boards which are, er... a little bit easier to finish probably

30 is not too high. imo, if i finished 4 sub30 board since February, so, i do not need to care much for them. And, i have added option to "allow generation of any-3bv board" but i think these replays would be saved like custom games

@Dion:"With all these recent discussions about 3BV limits, I'm slighty conflicted about the int limit"

Slightly?! With limit on 30 you are removing at least 1 board per day and thats not limiting but killing of randomness.

Simply, 20 is too low, 30 is too high.

@Frank Shaw: congratulations! you're very lucky... I've been playing beginnerxp for a year (almost exactly) now, and it wasn't until tonight that I got a 1!
@Daniel: I'm sorry about your syndrome... since syndromes are usually followed by a huge jump (i.e. my 25x9==>22), at least you have that to look forward to

just got an 83,86 on a 137 board... for an AR total so far of 83+22=105... so how am I playing? It's nearly impossible to get rid of winmine; it's part of the windows preload... I was also able to recover Sorin's counter (I'm so bad!)... I could probably recover all of the clones, etc, too, but I'm not THAT disobedient/rebellious/whatever...

@Chill: Thanks! It was pretty amazing getting a 51 all of a sudden. I didn't really expect that, although I knew I was good enough to beat my 54. 66 -> 62 is very nice. Congrats! Next step might be to get a sub-60! Good luck with that!

@Detrusor: Congrats to you as well. Very nice 3bv for a 12! Good thing it wasn't 13.00... I know how bad that would feel because I did that on a 41 3bv board quite some time ago!

Oh, today is my birthday... at least sort of... I'm now 24½ years old!
