It's been a long time since I've posted AR times here. I haven't had much time to sweep in the past few months. Yesterday was spent shaking off the rust, and today I got the 61. It was on a 133 and it could have easily been a 56 or so had I not had a triple LSS. Oh well, it still feels good to know that I can still perform.

@KAmil, sorry i didn't explicitly mention "avf" stands for "minesweeper Arbiter Video File", i sort of assumed you already knew it.
Btw, You've done quite a stunning progress lately , i am getting a bit worried you will eventually pass me soon .
Now that i remember avf videos can also be viewed on the clone if you select the correct "file type" at the "load video" dialog.
greetings!

arbiter is a clone by rilian (dmitriy sukhomlynov of ukraine)...very similar to the clone. (i'm sure he and rodrigo could argue about that!). it used to be hosted at rilian.net but the site is dead....i asked ril if i could host his download, but he said he's hoping to get the site back up. I have his 2nd last version....you'd probably want someone else to mail you the newer one.

Damien : Do we really need to see “Failed files: [None]” each time we upload a file? Couldn’t you let it be shown only if there are failed files? Each time it makes me think that something failed...

Anyway, I have a double syndrome coming on here...any bets on when I'm gonna get "well" again?

(Come to think of it, it's a triple syndrome since I've got 17 2s on beginner )

@Banzhaf: Just ask them to try finishing a game by guessing every time (use the no-numbers skin!) If they manage it it'd be a miracle!

About the famous cheaters page, don't you think that it would sort of make some people want to try and cheat just to get on the page? To me it's an interesting article, but then I play Minesweeper. Someone who doesn't play would find it ridiculous that we're actually spending time talking about that, and how hard we are looking to see whether we can find proof of cheating, etc. That might actually give motivation to cheat, to see whether they can get through this "screening". AND we're giving tips on what to avoid if we want to cheat!

I'm not saying I don't want this written...I would really like to read about all these "famous" cheaters! But different people might "use" the article differently...what do you all think?

(I like Joe Nuss' post that's quoted in the article; it applies a bit in this case as well...)

zhang, other people had complained about that, and it was eventually fixed in clone 2007. the thing is you still use .97 down there (you have strong reasons for that i have heard) unfortunately you don't benefit from the improvements of the last couple of years...

Btw the video is not a fake , it's simply not valid

Thanks Gergely/Detrusor/WP for your wiki suggestions....I want to open the wiki talk pages, but am afraid it will get spammed. I'll look to see if it's possible for people with profiles to use the same passwords (this is complicated). Thanks.

i have a question about what commands to do what for the auto-recording for clone. I recently got 56 on expert and closed w/o saving in triumph, fortunately it was autosaved somehow under unnamed.mvf in the directory file. I had set for the auto-recording conditions "experttime<60" but it was to my desktop and when i tried with "beginnertime<10" nothing ever saved. Basically i would like to know what command(s) i need to put for the auto-recording conditions. Thanks

@ Gergely: I think his claimed 55 expert confirms that he was a cheater. Unless he got two separate timer bugs, which is pretty unlikely. Did anyone ever get a screenshot of the 55? also, it may be possible for someone like Dion to get a 12 on it, but not from an original score of 28.

Great work with the site, Damien! That Joao story is interesting, though. I think the board can be finished in such a short time (I didn't count, but that seems to be less than 50 3bv). But I wouldn't call him a cheater because time bug could have happened to him . Telling it 6 years later is difficult if he had any intention to cheat...

for those interested about the video, i started a famous cheater page. so far i've only included James and Joao, but i'll add Jason and a few others this weekend.

52,44 on a 200 board, also with an RQP record of 13,48. This has been one hell of a week, I've broken my record in all three modes quite significantly and I don't think I'll be able to top this playing session for a long time.

I am way closer to sup-4 than I ever imagined possible.

Also, I want to clarify my expert active ranking score. I had submitted a time of 51.06 for the first active ranking period, but I guess it was too late and it was transferred to the second period. Since then, I have attained a score 51.19 on May 06, but I can't change it back. However, the video is in my profile at .info for verification.

Comments:  

Who is the first person who can tell me why this video is a fake...or is it? It was sent to me 8 Nov 2002 (when the world record was 42) and this person claimed a 38. (There is not a 'win box' because he said this was his second 38).

video: www.minesweeper.info/downloads/JamesShannon38(2)-081102.avi

you need this small file to watch:
www.minesweeper.info/downloads/TSCC.exe


I couldn't tell why it was fake, but I banned it anyways. I'm not good at programming, so I didn't see the mistake until last year, when I was watching it for fun.

What do you guys think!

i didn't want to answer previously as i thought it would have been better that he answered himself, but I wanted to make a little clarification after damien's comment. by what i know, He LEGALLY changed his name to Jake Warner (for personal/private reasons). Hence Levente Jakab doesn't refer to him anymore in the real life either... we prefer to call him Badgers btw...

@badgers: your post today is the first time i've seen interest in having your correct scores listed on this site. i haven't had any emails from you in the last year, and neither has the imc since they raised that stink about int. i can't find links to your vids in the guestbook, on your site, or on info....i'd be more than glad to get this fixed: it's been bothering me for some time and the 44 is arbitrary. I'll talk to you on irc tonight or tomorrow if this is ok.

@Tibor: As for planet minesweeper, when he got the 9 he was asked for additional proof (history files, videos on other clones) as it is a world record and there were some doubts about it. AFAIK he never supplied that additional proof.
As for this site's ranking I don't really understand the reasoning behind accepting the arbitrary score of 44 either...

Dion, if you beat my int time I'll be forced to beat your exp time

grats!

oh and Tam - record for int 3bv/s is over 9. Cowman got something like 1.41 on a 3bv=4. My record was 7.53 (1.9x on a 7) and I think Dion also had a sup7.5 but I can't remember.

hey, it seems everyone wants the best time. what about the number of minds? i've done 190 (a custom board of 24X30 the max size of the board) and currently stuck at 195 (same dimensions). I increase 5 minds every time I succeed to clear all minds.

anyone?

Oh yes, the reason about the early posing of the question is that the earlier one starts to organize it the better it can be (e.g. prizes ) And the deadline is one week after the upcoming Vienna minesweeper meeting - September 7, 2007.
So, where should the next MINESWEEPER WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP be??? We are looking for candidates

Ouch on those reults Ian, I participate in austrian math olympics and I can understand that that hurts pretty badly. I dont think I have any chances to go to the IMO though, at least not this year - I only just qualified for the first part of our national competition :-P
Then again, both of us still have two years left, right? Maybe we'll meet at the IMO 2009 - after acchieving sth this year without training at home at all, I decided to start training in earnest ;-)

At another note, yes, I AM officially temporarily retired.

I guess you know the feeling Ian :-P

Grats @ Joni and Tam!

Hehe, nice one joni!!

At the MO the UK scores were 25, 20, 17, 16, 15, 14, I got 14 (sob), and the bronze medal cutoff was 15 (sob sob). It was quite annoying since the questions' difficulty wasn't as spread out as it should have been, but oh well

Anyways, got Arbiter again 2 days ago (amazingly, the zip was still in my temp. internet files, depsite rilian.net having been down for months (or so it seems)).
2 days ago I got:
INT: 3x18, 1x20, 1x21, 1x22, 2x23, 2x24, 1x26
EXP: 1x58, 2x61, 1x62, 1x66, 1x72

Yesterday didn't play, today (thus far) I got:
INT: 1x17, 3x18, 5x19, 3x20, 1x21, 3x22, 2x23, 1x24

3 - 17 - 58 = 78 (not bad for 2 days playing )

57 -> 55

Comments:  

Yayyyyyy!!! Got a beautiful board, and after a sort of quiet careful game with a couple of strange unforced guesses my record is down again. Now it's a nicely round 55 on a 155
(5 is one of my favorite numbers btw ).

I got some inspiration yesterday after reading Gergelys report on Budapest, and started to write my own (trying to keep it on a less serious tone )... haven't gotten to the first day in there yet though, so i guess it might take a while . I promise to everybody that was in Budapest that you will receive an email about the photos soon. If you don't get it until tomorrow (because maybe i don't have your address) then please write me to the address attached

@Ian, you didn't say anything about the math olympiad how did it go down there in the balkans. You must have had lots of luck there since I saw you managed to beat us this time

I finally did it. I achieved the personal goal that I set for myself a long time ago, which was to attain a world record in the 3bv/s category for beginner. I know it's a weird goal to strive for, but it really has a lot of meaning to me, and when I saw the counter display the high number I didn't even know what to feel except awe. I'm not sure how high Damien's record was, but I remember it being below the 7.6 3bv/s range, and I think this could possibly be the new world record.

ABSOLUTELY NO MORE USE FOR BEGINNER. The stress is gone, let the serious sweeping begin!

First of all, grats @ Dion!
Great work on the minesweeper wiki article damien!!!
And nice work on the online minesweeper version sue!
If anybody is wondering why I'm not participating in the AR - I don't play MS a lot lately because of school, and I don't have anything really worthwhile at the moment - I'm not sure whether or not I got sub17 on int. For the time being, I'll stay in the background, and participate in the AR whenever I get sth really good - Otherwise I think its better if I don't visit the community sites too often - doing so makes me want to play.
I'm sorry to say it, but you can consider me temporarily retired - I will still sweep once in a while, but I won't have much time for long GB posts, and you will probably not hear a lot from me as long as I dont get a record.

If I don't congratulate someone on a record, dont take it personally - I may be too stressed to post more than the little I really want to say.
On this note:
Grats to everyone with a record in the near future!!!


Happy Sweeping everyone!
