I'm sure I've read someone (possibly Schu) mention on this site the possibility of getting minesweeper records into the Guiness Book of Records. Well, they're launching a "gamer's edition" this year. They're holding a worldwide Guitar hero challenge and accepting entries for other stuff. I'm not sure if minesweeper qualifies as a game (I think it should) but there's a contact page if someone wants to make an inquiry. I would do it myself, but it probably sounds better coming from an IMC member, or at least one of the big guns. The downside is, it sounds like the feat has to be achieved in front of an adjudicator. I doubt they will accept mvf files. Maybe we could organise a short notice tournament; if we can get three or four players from the top 20 it might be worth it. Website linked. Thoughts? |

The second 2008 IMC meeting did just past. -We agreed on a penalty point system for missed meetings (to ensure better attendance to the meetings - which actually worked fine already before the system started at all; we were almost complete today) -Beside that we discussed topics which recently arised on the GB and some other details. This resulted mainly in some technical tasks for some of us to solve in the next weeks. |

I think a 'zh' in Chinese is pronounced a bit like a J in English, but with pursed lips. If that makes any difference. ![]() Bertie - to be quite honest, I'm not sure if the powerball works or not. I've used it everyday for a month now, and it did seem to be working at one point, but now my arm pain is as bad as ever. But maybe it would be worse if I hadn't used the powerball. It's difficult to say. I'll keep you updated on how I feel about it. They cost about £15 from play.com with free delivery, so it's not a massive expense if it doesn't work (and it's a fun little gadget anyway), although I'm not sure if play.com send to where you are, or how the price converts. Also, I've just ordered the "puk" wrist rest that I mentioned on here a while ago, so in a few days I should be able to give some feedback on that. |

@Zhang: the limit was about 250KB, since that was more or less the size of the avi files encoded with Camtasia. Now I raised the limit to a bit over 1MB as you requested, though I don't really know how much space Damien actually has... oh well we can always delete some of Fritz' games in the worst case ![]() ![]() |

About the championship: I saw it first on Facebook, and initially I thought that it was just an extra activity for the sweepers who are on Facebook. I think that if it were to be official, Facebook wouldn't be a very good place. (people would need to sign up to participate) And it's true that it resembles the AR...especially since points can be easily implemented in the AR. The AR that Detrusor put on his site already had a points system (the person in last place has one point, the second-last has two, etc.) So we'd need something that's more different from the AR. As for how to make it different...I'm still thinking :P |

my 11th 12s Int was my biggest stupid mistake ever - If I clicked in the middle in the last move, it would be 11,8. But of course I clicked on the left, on the right and finally in the middle |

@KAmil: I don't know whether you ever had a look at the Budapest results, but I had two sets of identical int times. ![]() @Tourney: I like the MSlive idea best. You just need to find the optimal way of grouping the players which balances their skill while making the times as convenient as possible. I really think that MSlive gets too little attention. @Gergely: Happy b-day! Hope you have many more. ![]() |

@ Damien: after reading your last post I once again wanted to say that I don't believe in 3bv as a measure of difficulty. My understanding is that low 3bv boards have much longer perimeters of the openings, which causes your IOE drop even if you are able to keep clicks/sec at your normal level. |

about the tournament issue: I think the AR is a kind of bi-weekly tournament. I don't know much about programming but the format can be changed, I think and hope ![]() So, maybe that should be used as fundamentals. What do you think? |

@ tournaments: every kind of tournaments, on minesweeperlive or not, will have timezones problems. I just suggest that minesweeperlive will be most fair because of the same boards. And 2nd most important thing: tournaments should be only for int or only for exp. Some players r good only on int, some only on exp. That's stupid if we connect int with exp ![]() @Damien: I have 13NF on 32 and 13NF on 51. Your 32 3bv board could be just hard, that's y u got 15s ![]() |

I think 90 minutes might be a little small. Why not just have the whole day? That way time zones don't really matter. Whenever your clock hits midnight you can start playing. If people get to decide when during the day they'll play their 90 mins, then we won't be playing at the same time anyway. Also, Heath Ledger is dead. Now I'll have a look for the Facebook group. |

@Gergő: 1 in 90 minutes ain't so bad...it took me 23 days (~12h play) to finish 1 board a little while ago (after i spend weeks playing only int). Now i also solve only about 1 per 90 minutes. |

yep Elmar, you beat me to that, there has been one tourney on mslive already, http://minesweeperlive.com/tourney1groups.php As you can see there were 4 groups, 3 with five players 1 with six. Quite unexpectedly the group with 6 players was a success ![]() ![]() Meeting in the IRC channel before the matchups also helped. That is to show that if there is at least one per group who tries to take some organizing responsibilities it WILL work, since everybody is in there because they want to play. The russians have also had several minelive tournaments. And there was some talk to the admin if he could develop a feature to have the possibility to be connected as spectators to matches. If i remember right he said he didn't have time to do it before the final fase of that tourney, but he would have worked on it for the coming tourney... unfortunately there hasn't been any yet.. and i don't know if he's got the time to dedicate to that now. Anyways, the guy is really helpful that said, playing minelive is a really different way to play minesweeper from different points of view. ![]() |

@elmar: i've already seen that but i also read in the forum at mslive that the planned 2nd tournament starts very slowly. but what speaks against 2 tournaments? there are very few opportunities for active sweepers to compete so if the mslive tournament will start i'll take part in too. |

i created a "minesweeper world cup"-group on facebook. if you want your ideas for the world cup come true just join the group and tell them on the discussion board. i think it should be possible to start the first tournament on the first weekend of february (just to give a deadline to the discussion and to assure that the tournament topic won't get lost in space). http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=9760545676 |

@kamil: but on minesweeper live you can't see which times other sweepers achieve (e.g. i won't be able to see in which time you finish boards when you sweep against gergö) and there's also the problem with the timezones. i also think that the different board difficulties in normal minesweeper won't make it too unfair. (only my personal opinion and not to be considered in the discussion: for me the boards lost on guessings are a big part of what makrs me so addicted to minesweeper) @gergö: i think the length and other settings of tournaments can be discussed later but there should be more than one mode. 5int+5exp in 90mins is hard but it is possible. but the exact settings for a tournament of course still need to be discussed. |

We can also play like in Chess tournaments: every player plays against 7 players 1vs1 (on minesweeperlive). In every round, every player plays against another player with the same number of points. Minesweeperlive would be more fair than normal tournaments because of the same board without guessings ![]() |

@jon s: you described pretty good what i am thinking about @gergő: just an example of how it might work out: there is a tournament on day x (5int+5exp in 90mins) the day before x you post in which time you'll play the session you'll submit. after the day x you submit your scores the only specified things are the day of the tournament, the required number of games and how long the session will be. you can decide yourself at which daytime and on which clone you want to sweep. @all who want to participate: i suppose a group on facebook is the easiest way to get this tournament started. if you think there is an easier way just tell it. otherwise i'm going to create the group in a few hours. i'll post later about this. |

@Gergo:"One of my friends told me, that Stunts (an ancient car-game) has meetings, when "addicts" meet each other in a weekend, just to get closer to each other, to make friends. Does it exist in Minesweeper, too? If not, we can organise such meetings. What is your opinion? Or am I too naive?" If more ppl dont get motivated for this there are very slight chances for it :) |

Grats Tam and Kamil. @Gergő: I used to play Stunts. I also saw something on the internet about tournaments, but never really got into touch with those guys. I've made a lot of tracks if you or anyone else is interested. Lately I haven't played it much because of errr... Minesweeper ![]() @fritz: I might be interested in competing in a bi-weekly tournament. I can't say for sure before I know more details about how you're going to arrange it. Are you thinking that all participants should do the following: 1. Notify someone of when they're going to play 2. Play on the clone/arbiter or whatever other software that gets accepted (in the time interval that they specified) 3. In some straightforward manner document the results and submit them If it can be arranged like that, I think I'll participate. I might not play every period unless I get hooked ![]() |

@aris: what do you think i've been doing the last 30 mins? ![]() ![]() but i still see a little problem there: it seems very hard to sweep against somone in a different timezone. in a bi-weekly tournament it would be therefore kinda unfair if e.g. a person from europe would sweep against someone from asia. it could easily happen that for some people it's too late and for some too early to sweep as good as possible. you also can't see which scores others got when they played against each other |
