Topic, Game "BLockoban"

  @MCL just because there's people who are worse does not excuse bad behaviour. I'm completely fine with critising wrong difficulty settings, but you can do that without insulting other members. If this was playful sarcasm then the fault is on my end for misjudging your comment.

But, physical age does not matter. I know people who are double my age who have less maturity and people younger than me who have more.
Nevertheless, it's up to you to take my advise or ignore it.
But don't ignore the fact that this "pubescent boy" has the power to control your ability to post, so it might be better not to test his authority.

With friendly regards, Gameinsky.

Unfortunately we don't really have an active blockoban player as admin here anymore as Oldmntnguy seems to be quite busy nowadays. I don't trust myself evaluating levels in a game where I can't even solve half of the officials and Elizea just blindly accepts all levels since he trusts people here to make decent enough levels for that. But it does mean that things will end up less organised than if Oldmntnguy were to do it.

  There will always be levels that are found to be more difficult then others for everyone! As with anything in life. Some people can do math, some read well, others can't play a piano, ski, swim...easy? hard? Setting a difficulty level is a judgement call. Mostly I based mine on what I felt was the average call. Experience makes that easier to do. All the experienced players have made suggestions as to difficulty. Sometimes correctly. And sometimes not agreed with. BUT their suggestions do keep it on a fairly level keel. I for one welcome the positive feedback which this game gives everyone a chance to give and get.

  MCL, Is trongly advise for you to tone down your hostility. Every single of your messages make me groan whenever I see them.

If you have something to say, even if it isn't positive to begin with, it's possible to do so while staying respectful to the person you're talking to.

  i quote OMG: 'a lot of changes based on one persons opinion' !!!

@OMR: if u r able 2 solve u let hard levels in easy pack if u r unable u wanna change them!
i say: u r unable and kind of hypocrite cheater!

@gameinsky: LOL, hostility! Don't confuse me with Mr WarMaker Trump and be sure: i would never take any advise of a pubescent boy!

  i think the four new level by suhangha are to hard for to be on the medium category.

edit: now that we have some scores i changed my mind. the category may be ok.

  Well I have too many responsibilities now:

1) taking care of my family
2) going to work twice a week, keeping our money up
3) eating and staying alive; enjoying other life

So, I'm not going to bother solving anymore levels until I get some hints from other people. I'll keep making new challenges too for you guys to play. It is too stressful and harder now to solve levels. That's why I made a pack with some of my unfinished levels.

So, that's all I have to say. I still enjoy this game a lot but my time has to be limited from here on out.

  at the moment i've got 1001 level left. 313 medium and 688 hard (2 officials). i hope to solve the most mediums within the next two month. between christmas and now i played (and solved) lot of camo's medium levels. they are all REALLY great. almost everyone had a different trick. the guy is a dragoon.

  Happy New Year

  I wish everyone a happy new year!

  I am not very adept at solving BLockoban levels, so I cannot help you in that regard. However, I do think that your many comments are a great effort to keep the site alive and to encourage more activity. Personally, I play a few new levels from time to time, evaluate some if needed and rarely comment. The website simply is not as popular and active as it once was and in all likelihood it will never be again.

But I recognize your attempts to counter this development and believe that you should not feel disheartened or the like. Keep playing and commenting and good luck with the remaining levels!

  Hello Blockoban community, I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and early happy new year 2018. I've been progressing well the past year. I've solved a total of 1500 levels in the past 9 months, I've just solved 7400. But I wanted to say a few things and tell the truth.

1) The reason I post a lot is to remind people of their scores and optimization and to rate and comment. I'm trying to encourage people to keep up the great work on creating levels. I've been trying to get better scores and to match the highscore in every lvl, so whenever I get a highscore I post to challenge the best players to beat me. I felt offended b/c greyanna PM'd me a month ago and said that I comment like a baby. I care about this site and community and I have a right to post whenever I want, now I feel hesitant to post anymore. If I didn't care about this site I wouldn't post at all.

2) I have been struggling on the last 1438 levels I have, a majority of them are Camo's, Toughman's, Murat's, Monty's, and Jos's levels. They are very hard with certain tricks that I have not yet achieved. I have 508 medium, 7 easy, and 923 hard levels left. I hestitate to ask for any hints too. But I need help. See I'm taking care of my family and responsibilities first and I think that's more important. I live with my mom, dad, grandma, and grandpa. We have health issues to where we are restricted to a few foods. We can only tolerate rice, potatoes, bananas, and chicken. This really sucks b/c I love pizza, candy, and junk food but I can't have it. But anyways what is the best way to solve hard levels? What is your secret murat, dcoco, and TM? You do have multiple browsers up and go a different way each browser? Or do you have to copy the level on a piece of paper and work it out. Should I try to create a similar version of the level I'm playing?

Anyways, let me know who reads this.
Chris

  I have 1389 lvls left.

  1111 levels still to solve.

  This seems like a lot of fun! Does anyone know how much the DLC is?

  You guys are creating some great levels. Keep up the good work. Congrats on the7200 chris. Also thank you for the favorable comments.

  @chris3000 man u gotta run: mutate 2 chris7000

@all designer fantastic new levels thanks 4 fun

  Thanks @Yggdrasill. Sorry for the long hiatus everyone, I was really busy for a long time between IRL stuff and a few tournaments for another game that I play competitively. I'll keep trying to make interesting levels for the great community :)

  Your levels are amazing Camodragoon, really bends my mind, very precise designs, thanks for the new submissions.

  Yggdrasill4 you are starting again to choose wrong categories!
Have a look to SimonM's comments! He explained exactly enough!

  I think the next couple months i'm just going to focus on improving my scores on all the levels I've completed. After all, I want to be the best player I can be, like TM, murat, PA, oldmtnguy, Jxyz, OMR, Mo, and several others. I know it will take time but I am going to do the best I can trying to get the lowest score. So any lvls I post on will indicate a great low score.

And why is Archery so hard for me to solve, I always seem to have 2 blocks remaining.

  At the bottom of the column to the right of the game. Just under "Best levels - you haven't scored on"

  How can i activate BLockoban as my favorite game? Thank you!

  @Yggdrasill4, Your levels are far from traditional designs, but that's a good thing! Bringing some fresh concepts into this game is a wonderful thing!

  Wow, I have 11 easy levels left. I'm really stumped on them. Here is the list of levels below.

3 White's Too Many
The Four Corners
Humbug
Roundabout
X 2 Plus
Heart of Gold
Big Drip 3
Aberrated Plant
Spectral Hall
Common Transit
Matching Phase

  Thanks SimonM!
I wanna say: that ALL level designer make a great job that this site presents such a lot of fun! Of course the pack designer too! Yggdrasill4's created levels are awesome nearly perfect!

  Ok, going to step in and remove the political comment that is completely unrelated to this discussion.

Move along.

  @magnacumlaud, what OMG is trying to say is that it creates new work, that could have been avoided if the category was right from the very start.

  @ OMG 'a lot of changes based on one persons opinion' you are definitely wrong! And you know this!, cause it's easy to review! Maybe, have a look to OMR's comments here and in easy pack after my first postings 2 months ago in a really early phase!

  Much thanks for all the support and the opportunity to be a trusted member, I can't believe how I continue to come back to this site after so many years, there are a few other sites that I visit as long as this one other than the obvious like google or youtube, so hope it stays active in the future. I'm going to keep the difficulty of the ones I already submitted the same as to not ruin any already set packs, and try and better evaluate the difficulty of any future submissions.

  I want to add this; if you are hesitating between 2 categories, choose the more difficult one.
@Yggdrasill4: to change categories without opening the level in editor, you can go to the more page (located in the blue rectangle above the comments of the level).
