i just finished a 62 but i got a runtime error "55" and it doesn't seem to have saved the video. It did save the record in my history. There is an unnamed file with todays date in the installation folder that seems to be the video but i can't open it. I've encountered this problem before but never on a record. Any remarks/ suggestions? |

14.476 on a 32. Easiest board ever. 1-14-52 overall, 2-15-52 flagging, 1-14-56 NF. My NF scores are catching up to my F scores! This backs up my theory that girls do not hinder minesweeper - just like my 52 did back in March. They help by providing inspiration. Have been stuck on 15 since early last year. Now out of the blue this comes along! Yay!! |

Just a Q: Does the 3bv limiting built into the clone and arbiter cover the >1 3bv required for beg? And if so, why is this limit deactivated in cheat mode (Arbiter .46)? I reported my two 1 3bv cheat mode games a while back. It can't be the mines jumping out the way cause Arbiter searches after the first click. |

@gero: Clone 2006 & 2007 and Arbiter 45 & 46 both only produce games above 30 and 100 (int, exp). The only reason Clone 97 was allowed is so Chinese players can have their scores accepted while Rodrigo fixes a problem (Chinese clone games only work on Chinese Windows). I no longer feel Clone 96 should be allowed...if you can't run .NET, then you can run Arbiter. I think Oli Scheer is the last person using it, because he 'retired' 2 years ago. IMC is meeting every Sunday, so I'm sure we will talk about it again. |

Hm, I'm disappointed that nobody is interested in what I was writing some time ago. I can't imagine that everybody thinks it is correct that the accepted versions produce boards which aren't accepted. I don't want a new discussion about 3BV limits, I just want a version where really ALL records are accepted. But as long as such versions doesn't exist (or as long as accepted versions produce boards with 3bv<100 and <30), I think new records with these low 3bv must be accepted. Once again: I don't want a 3bv discussion, I just vote for an accepted version where all boards fulfil the regulations. |

Haha, I love the IMC Times and unincluded features. I can help answer a few questions you had... The Arbiter UPK bug is not in 0.42, so it was only confined to the 0.43 releases. As for when the versions were released, I checked my history found that 0.44 was available for download on Apr 28 2006, and the next day both 0.43 and 0.44 were available with the note "PS: there were reported some slowdowns on 0.44 replay engine, so i better reupload 0.43 version and release 0.45". By May 3rd only 0.43 was available, and on the 5th the message: "file temporarily unavailable. if you wnat to download arbiter 0.45 (latest debug version) please contact rilian (dmitriyis @@ [no\spam] gmail.com ). 0.45 public release coming in few days". I believe this message was there until 0.46 was released... 0.45 was never publicly available for download. So yeah, the board loading bug is pretty terrible. Up until 0.96 the Clone had a similar bug: it allowed you to save boards before the game began. After 0.70, mine positions were randomized after the first click, but that had a bug as well... |

Wow, great work on the article Joni!!! ![]() I never realized how close I was to be suspected of cheating. Now, to clarify why I had .43 streaks. Jonis remark about me being an absent-minded person is, of course, absolutely correct. However, the main reason I used arbiter .43 at times is that, in the course of my career, I used not one copy of arbiter running on one machine - as far as I can recall, there are four systems on which I did a lot of sweeping: My old laptop (now broken), my new laptop (currently in use), my mothers laptop, and the computers at my school. When I upgraded arbiter on one machine, I did not always upgrade it everywhere else. Particularily my mothers laptop, which I used to use a lot but do not now as I have my own machine - I never thought it would make sense to install a new version for the reason that I didnt expect to play many games there anyway. I did not hear about the UPK bug until very recently (I think the vienna tourny in fact), so I thought that the only difference would be a couple more options (and I don't care about much more than time/est time/3bv/3bvs, which rendered that irrelevant - should I have started to care about advanced stats, I would have been able to get .46 then). I knew about the clicking bug, but didn't take that too seriously then. So, in short, me using arbiter 0.43 was a result of my laziness and ignorance (and, as joni put it, distractedness/disorganized ![]() @Joni: I remember detrusor checking a vid of mine for the clicking bug before he put it on be - I'm not sure if that was before or after the IMCs decision not to accept games where the clicking bug was used. That was post number one, and has bedtime length. I'll probably post again, and longer, tomorrow - I just wanted to explain myself, as the story is extremely dubious, I was not aware of my case being that suspicious (though of course it makes absolute sense to me), and to give the answer regarding: [quote] I don't want to speculate on the reasons why Tommy has messed up the clones in this way, I think only he can answer that question. [/quote] I hope that this is a satisfying answer for everyone, and I am happy to answer questions should they arise and should I be able to. |

The members of the IMC kindly request Jake Warner a.k.a. Levente Jakab to back up his high score claim with more evidence. It is the community's interest to make the high score lists clean of suspicious scores so that the lists can be creditable and official. Therefore the "near-record" scores must be backed up with further evidence. Such is the case with Jake Warner's scores which were made on the Minesweeper Arbiter v0.43 which has a known bug. We'd like to receive videos from authorized versions until 17th October 2007 otherwise Jake's scores will be removed from the different lists. International Minesweeper Committee 11th October 2007. |

I really dont like the rule that 3BV<100 arent allowed, as long as versions are accepted for rankings, which produce such boards. When I'll get a new record on an accepted version then the score must be accepted. It's absolutly stupid to say, yes you play on an accepted version, but hey, you were unlucky and got your new highscore on the wrong board. ![]() This doesn't make sense! The same for Int. Why should I play an accepted version if still scores aren't accepted? That's really nonsense. ![]() |

@michael: the ranking on metanoodle is 552 people, the ranking at info is at 441, which is why your ranking may be different. The info ranking will completely replace the old one by Christmas as I finalise my new database. @oliver: ouch! Manuel also lost an est 36 last month. Expert games <100 3bv are not allowed for the ranking anyways. Can you send me your 1.93s video? Thanks. Glad you still play...I noticed it's been 3 years since your expert record! @bertie: on metanoodle the ranking was sorted by sum, expert, int, beg...if there is still a tie then the earliest set of scores won. (i noticed i messed up the programming...but there will be a new ranking for Christmas). On info (at the moment) people are ranked by integer sum and ties are broken by decimal sum....but this maybe will change! |

Damien, I have a question. If two players have the same sum, what is then the deciding factor? As I have it, it is the lower exp time that determines it. I think something might've gone awry, because in my immediate ranking area (sum 70) there seems to be no system. But hey, at least I'm still in the top 50. Do you guys know what I just realised is the most recognizable attribute of a minesweeper discussion? The unnaturally high number of 3-letter terms!!!! ![]() Anyway, bye. ( ![]() |

damien, i know you get lots of mail, maybe you missed mine on the Arbiter article on minesweeper.info... it's been a week or so... and about the rankings, i did get a 13 on the 8th of July, posted here but didn't email, the vid is in my folder. I don't plan improving anything for a long time (ever?) so it'd be nice to move a second up... ![]() To everybody: Keep the records coming ![]() |

I achieved two very good intermediate games yesterday, one of them being my third sup-5 3bv/s. One of them is a sub-20 record [linked], with a new high of 93 3bv board (at 4.93 3bv/s). The other video is a 22,30 on a 108 board @ 5.07 3bv/s, my second best speed. The video is in my profile. Grats on hitting that sub-42, Manu! ![]() |

![]() @fritz: Well done. I hope that I will some day get mine!! I'm still trying to get over the false alarm when I went from 2.7X to 2.03!! Why not 1!! When that box popped up my first thought was a 1, of course. ![]() @Daniel: The switch button thing is another interesting point. With the perfect player the loss of time in making the decision to use left, right or double click should be more than compensated for by the time gained in taking the fastest route, but none of us are perfect. The delay originates not from just having to click one button (implying that you put less stress on your brain to coordinate the clicks), but from not having to make uncomfortable higher order decisions. That is a simptome or our societal tendancy toward automated thinking and the like. But let's not get into that!!! BTW. What's a good 3bv/s score on int? I got a 3.55 yesterday, but I can swear that I've gotten sup4 before (Flagging of course ![]() |

for me another important point playing nf is that you dont have to switch the mouse buttons...i find it easier to have only one to press... i think the most important feature on arbiter is the one with starting a new game by double click...playing clone or winmine it annoys me to start the new game by f2. perhaps because i got to know that quite early and it's become a habit. now i just like arbiter more than clone whose outfits kind of strange...dont now;) |

i thought that was a bug! i was playing custom, and the last thing you want on 212 mines on 24x30 is to start a new game at the end! i recently converted to Minesweeper X....it is exactly like Winmine, cheatproof and no options at all! ![]() Btw...I bet most of you didn't know the Recorder saves all games won or lost, and you can export your stats into excel? |

3.09 --> 3.16 |
Comments: |
Yesterday I got a grand total of three sub60 games: 59x2 & 57x1. I get sub60 on a regular basis, but the sub50 just doesn't wanna budge. As far as I can tell my technique's biggest flaw is overclicking my left-mouse button. I'm trying to fix it, but it's hard. I finally got my first 3bv/s record on exp in like two years. (the 3.08 -> 3.09 doesn't really count ![]() @Daniel: You raise a serious question on style. I think the question of which is better, flagging or NF, has been settled for a long time now seeing that the world record on exp has been a flagging record for the last hundred years or so. And I myself think that rogen`s int time would've been better if he'd played proper flagging (no offence ![]() Flagging of course holds it's own dangers for instance overflagging. Which I hear you are quite fond of. To be quite honest with you, at the level you are right now timewise (playing for sub90), It is to be expected that you still overflag when flagging. Not that I'm saying anything about your play, because the proper use of flags comes with experience. So you style of flagging will most probably become one of less and less flag wastage as time passes. Anyway, keep at it. @the clone issue. I'm am now officially an Arbiter convert. Even though none of my time records are on it ![]() Ok, nuf from me. |

@daniel: Personally I think flagging is the faster style overall. But that's my oppinion and the truth for you might be very different. IMC stands for International Minesweeper Committee. It's main duty it to catch cheaters (at least that's what it was made for). More details about who is the IMC can be found on minesweeper.cc - this site is about to be built up during the current year and I hope, that everything will be ready for new year. At the moment it's mainly used for the active ranking. |
