Congrats TH10! Also, please don't beat me in the challenge today (although I have a feeling you will).

Is that what happens when you click the DC away before finishing it?

I think I have done that once in my life.

Nah, there's a weird bug that happens when IE6 is involved, and possibly with multiple TC instances in different browsers that creates multiple challenge instances.

Luckily pretty soon I'll be back in the good ol' USA where we're not allowed to play poker, so hopefully I'll get in some debugging time.

Zac, what happens to timed ratings if a player stops playing part way through the last rack while they are ahead of other players' scores (e.g. when the final rack is all 1s). I assume they lose rating points or at least can't gain them?

I you quit before the end I think your score does not count and no change in rating will be applied.

It can be abused if you think that your DC rating >>> your integrity (I did it once when I misplaced a 2 by accident and went on monkey tilt).

Holy crap

TH10 just records a new advanced high score

http://www.triplechain.net/reconstruct?chain_id=988830

73.800

Rack 9 was ALMOST optimal. If the 1 would have been a 6 ==> 74.175

Let me guess: Zac, TH, Alex, krohn, Derwi, Popcorn, dogfloss? Sick, wish I'd logged on. Plus, lols at Derwi's sick ratings gain.

Playing timed makes me feel really good because I am less bad now than when I played most of my timed games so my score still goes up if I play against an amazing lineup.

I'm not sure what the fairest solution would be to ensure that people don't get penalised for the occasional buggy game but it isn't fair on the people who play to the end regardless of how badly they played or how unlucky they got.

Not going to name and shame as they are new players. If it carries on then I will.

A warning to anyone tempted to bail out on a frustrating challenge though: Now that die jumps and other game destroying bugs are rare I'm very likely to rerun the rankings at some point, counting recent incomplete games as zeros.

These bugs almost never happen nowadays, imo it would be good to do this rerun of the rankings, maybe starting from when you changed the layout? Or just starting from now?

I had a good challenge today. It could be a winner, but I think it will be a decent 2nd place. Lets see if I can get to TH10, who is running well. Paul has the doomswitch on the last weeks

Hammertime is securing 2nd place for the moment
