Topic, Game "BLockoban"

  Congrats OMR!!! Unfortunately, I don't think I can make it. :)

  Excellent! I'll be there right after I've been to the pub for some billiards. Is it the white house on the right after the big tree?

  Last night I beat my 2000th level. There will be a litte party tonight; please come over to my place if you like. There is plenty of beer in the ice-box and some fruit juices for the kids.

  lmr, the thing is, I could beat the levels, probably, but it would take me a lot of moves for me to solve. I don't think I'm nearly as good as any of the long-time players/addicts, I'm the worst at optomizing (but I'll probably try it), the only area that I might be competent in is level-making. I try to get the highscores on small levels with simple tricks, but as yoou say, I will need to play more levels, at least before I can begin to optomize.

EDIT: lmr, on that comment I meant not that I wouldn't bother with the level, I meant I'm to stupid to solve it. :)
P.S. OMG, I need to listen to that proverb more. :) Trying to stop comment-posts, I forget this isn't JG2 commenting ( much more "random" :) ).

  Camo- There are several parts to this game, one is to just enjoy playing it. Two; is to have your score beat and try to match someone else's optimization. In my opinion nothing of this game is about self-gratification. Try playing levels and achieving the scores set by the masters, instead of thinking you know it all, and that you are better then the rest. (You commented on a new level recently with words to the effect , It looks like it is good, but I don't think I'll bother playing it.
Get over yourself and join the real world.
PS.You have created some decent levels.

  E-just occasionally. Your english is very good.
CD-As to the problem,I could not get the game to play at all. After debugging, it worked again. My computer is quite old and sometimes glitches starting or restarting a level, at which time I hit the refresh button and can carry on my merry way.
Camo, you are incorrect, E's commas are correctly placed. The 2nd sentence is ordered correctly just missing some punctuation.
You spelled apostrophe wrong.

  lol Yes Elizea. :)

For example, JPs=no opastrophe
Commas placed wrong in first sentence.
2nd sentnce last part ordered wrong.
Wow you are really bad at english ! Tsk,tsk. XD (Just joking, those mistakes don't matter :) )

  i'll try my best to solve all officials

P.S.- i think 249 is enough

  I guess JPs idea was that those who have been longer on the site, completed more levels and created them etc, would know better what is a good level etc.

I don't think average ratings for everyone would be really good, even tho I agree that someone who only plays JG2 shouldn't really have bigger RP while rating BB levels than for example you guys.

Edit: for anyone who is native english speaker, do my posts have syntax and/or grammar mistakes? D:

  @IMR, what was your computer problem? I know you had one, just didn't know exactly what (ex.site won't load). I'm having some probs too, games won't load, usually I click around, then if I can't select anything, it shows loading symbol, and usually brings up game, it's just really wierd. :( Blockoban loads the most out of the games. @OMR, never gave that much thought, but now that you speak of it, i think I agree. No fair if everyone else but the person with highest power likes it, but then the highest powered person doesn't causing, it to drop really far. The ratings should probly be averaged.

  An other thing I dislike about voting is the rating power. What happens to the old "one (wo)man one vote"?

  Hey CD, no proof required. I have accepted everyone else at face value. It is just that this is the first time that I have logged into a game. I encountered a problem last month, so now I don't want to trust anything.
For what it is worth from me, Welcome.
Piece of advice, don't go overboard, limit your comments, optimize each level and learn from the masters.

  Hey thanks CD. We need to all get our minds back on what were here for in the first place, to play games and to escape the drama of real life.
I do try to be available as often as possible. And I hope that I've been successful at that. However even I need my beauty sleep. lol

  @CD, don't worry, I feel like that more often than you. xP

  Mature enough to recognize. Congratulations.

  OMG is busy but he will evaluate some more levels soon.

  Who are you to criticize the work of OMG? A boy who appeared yesterday? This is a community of respect. Please limit to productive comments and not offensive.

  OMR, Hehe, lliked the PS.

  Chris, just keep trying, even it looks like you're doing wrong.
I think I have completed 20 officials in a week.
I now have 8 officials left.

  Because i want to be as good as pauloalex. I am impatient sometimes.

  Why do you have to complete all officials? =]

  I'm getting a little upset. I still have 38 officials left. It's been that way for 2 weeks at least. I know you guys are tired of my complaining but i need some help. Sorry to be harsh but i've got too many things going on with my family.

  How I vote: 5/5 is a classic, 4/5 is a very good level and 3/5 is a good level. I never vote 2/5 and 1/5 because I believe those bad levels never get accepted.
Just my opinion.

  I would like to discuss the votes. IMO too many people give the 5/5 to too many levels. 5/5 should be given only to "perfect" levels. I.e. original (new) idea, neat design, challenging, fun to solve, chance of improvement. This arn't of course costants. The personal taste plays a big role and the category and the age of the creator should be considered. Anyway 4/5 is a very good vote and even 3/5 (this is vor CD) isn't a bad vote. From my side 5/5 is reserved for master-pieces.
PS. My appologize for syntax, orthography and grammar.

  Here is my 2 cents worth, A lot of mountain from a molehill. As long as the game is not compromised. Someone is trying to pull something. Many of CD's comments ,though good, have syntax errors. They are not the same kind of errors as PA makes translating from Portuguese. Eliminating certain immigrants. I do not believe cd is a young person from the states, as in his profile.
Anyway, I think everyone should move on and enjoy.
Perhaps, I should make a lvl called "Grain of Salt"

  Thanks Magic.

EDIT:Congrats Money666 for Archery Master!!

  Congrats CamoDragon on becoming a Trusted Member!

  I'm not being harsh guys, but i would like to do the rest of the officials.

  (NOT ENOUGH LETTERS)
All this controversy is quite detrimental to the health of the game :).
@Chris1, I read them, just didn't have anything to say back.
Would have posted this sooner, but can't double-post.

EDIT:@TM, ok, most of that was my view, part of it was @ OMG, in his section it was a bit more directed than the others. (no offense meant or taken, OMG)

  CD. It has long passed u and quite frankly I don't hold anything against you. I said and will repeat, on a personal LVL it is quite an achievement and congrats. The criticism here is on the decision itself. U are the reason and not the cause of this debate. We are, however, criticizing the cause so please don't get offended and don't try to justify the decision. I can really bring several arguments as to why El decided that but NONE would be convincing.

@Chris: It is quite harsh to say we ignore ur comments. I personally (and if I may add OMG) have written many msgs to you, ur achievements, ur prospects, etc.

I believe the whole thing has gotten out of control and all I can do is give it a rest and try not to get involved so much. I am really happy with the few friends I have here and don't want to spoil it to you guys.
