Is there any plan on adding Advanced timed mode? Would that be difficult to add? Could be interesting to try. For it to be fair, there would have to be some kind of set amount of ability points to spend for everyone.

I've considered it, but with the timed player pool so small we can't really afford to split it. Actually it might be ok because the pool is so small that anyone who wants to play will just join whatever has > 0 players in it.

In any case, definitely something that's on the list to add, but not any time soon.

Is it weird that, because I wouldn't have closed the gap on Gaby or Dynasty, I don't actually care about not winning yesterday's DC?

The game kindly revealed to me today why an fps move I made in the DC was terrible.

It wasn't actually THAT bad of a game, 20k+ was possible with TMI. http://triplechain.net/puzzles/545

I'm on the site now and can't see the dice after I put them on the board.

I just played this 19,613 game completely blind. I think I was fine until rack 9 when I forgot where I placed my 2s.

oh wow that actually sounds like fun, blind TC

Place the dice and when placed they are reflected as X and you have to remember the board

+1. I can't see any boards at all. Although this could actually be a fun mode in its own right. Probably gonna have to play the DC like this.

Hmm, that does sound like the sort of bug I should fix.

What browser (and version) do you guys have? I can't reproduce that bug on chrome, firefox, or IE

IE8. It was on a uni computer so I don't know much more than that.

Managed to play fine on my laptop with Firefox.

My guess is the bug has to do with some other software than browser, but that is just a guess, don't really know much about this kind of thing.

It happens, just be a bit more careful in the future, placing dice that matter first is usually a good idea, although what do I know, since I've made the same mistake. At least you've solved the puzzle, I still haven't figured out how to solve the similar one I created earlier.

Yep. For example in Round 6 you should have to think for at least a bit about where the 4 and 6 go. The other three dice are obvious so they should go first. When I place Round 9, before I place the last die I always look at the grey dice to see if I've missed anything and if any of those can be turned colourful.

can we stop this talk. I just did something mindbendingly idiotic that probably cost me a win today, and i'm holding you all responsible.

Ah ok, I guess I can't just tell you to upgrade your browser then.

I figured out how to downgrade to IE 8 on Windows 7 and managed to reproduce the bug. It's now fixed, so no more playing blind.

I think everything should be back to normal except the awards not being centered. Let me know if you guys notice anything else.

donk, welcome to the club that threw away a DC win in rack 9. I did it too once and it is fairly frustrating

In your case it is gentlemanlike, because you allowed treep to win. In my case Dynasty took the win

Thanks! I think the only other bug is that the bottom of the screen is cut off when looking at old games (so I can't make Puzzles).

Have you created any puzzles this week? If so, that explains it.

I decided to limit the number of puzzles people can create to 2 per week (used to be 5 for high level folks).

Seems like the number of unsolved puzzles is growing too quickly, with only Anton in danger of running out.
