2/21/13 The bear has roared! :) New puzzle available! **word list now visible

[Coysquibbly]

Is the bear in a position to tell us how many words there are :crying:

 

[kronewi]

Yep. It is working now. Got it submitted!

 

[sparhawk]

I guess im the only one havin trouble with this one. Got 16 and have gone through the list six times now and cant find any more acronyms. And im usually good at these.Another tough one Curtis.

 

[MesquiteMan]

The word list is now visible! Sorry, but you will no longer receive the 2 points but you can still get a point for completing it before I create a new puzzle!

 

[philb]

Now the list is there, i shouldn't of given up for the 2 points! Was only missing one!!

 

[THarvey]

I just looked at the puzzle. The version I received had eight different places where "MM" not counting the "YMMV" only one was the correct location.

Hey "Bear"!!!! Can we get a bonus point for solving it today?:smile-big: ...Since you changed the completion code...:biggrin:

 

[Smitty37]

If I had know I was only missing one word I'd have stayed up last night and finished it.....Oh well, I'm giving my points to alphageek anyway:biggrin::biggrin:

Well I am open to better offers .....

 

[longbeard]

Well, i get 1 point, work has it blocked and by the time i got off work last night, i got to work on it for 1 1/2 hours, figured i could get up and finish it before Curtis put the words up......WRONG!
Thanks Curtis for your time and effort so we can pull our hair out (what little bit we have left ) and scratch our eyes til they are raw, cuss, keep us from making our greatest creation in the shops and being famous for it. But we still love ya like a brother ( bear ) poke, poke, poke, where's the next puzzle! :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

 

[Smitty37]

Yea, I was up at 6 am Eastern Time and it was already gone --- that rascal must have got up in the middle of the night out there to change it:biggrin:

 

[tim self]

I wonder if we might get a point for not cheating? I can't believe the ONE word I was missing. I looked for it at least half a dozen times.

 

[longbeard]

2 words as one???

 

[Smitty37]

I wonder if we might get a point for not cheating? I can't believe the ONE word I was missing. I looked for it at least half a dozen times.

On the 1st version of the puzzle I worked, I didn't find 1 word that counted but I did find 8 different words that didn't count and some of them I found several times.

You havn't been paying attention. Curtis has been posting almost all of these around 2am. So no surprise that he hit the deadline to release the words! :biggrin::biggrin:

Thats so he can actually TELL which of us finished it in the first 24 hours you nut! He's already given us the bonus point! :biggrin:

Oh but i have been paying attention, but Curtis is on time, hoping he would get side tracted for a bit. :biggrin:

 

[Pete275]

Sad thing is I was one word from being finished with this one without the clues and had to shut the computer down. Could not get back to it until today. One point or two this was still a good puzzle.

YMMV was the only one I didn't have the first day but I didn't know how many more words there were so I went to bed. I'd have found it. CA, CB, BB and AS were the ones I kept finding over and over again.

 

[Smitty37]

Hey I won a week ago over in the Trivia contest and didn't realize it until today...so I have been going along merrily submitting the answer everyday even though I have not been elgible since the 15th. In my own defense though that was not a good week for me lots of personal issues.

 

[SteveJ]

Sorry about the tough week, but perhaps in retrospect you were given a bright spot!

 

[Mack C.]

Hi; This is the 2nd time I've seen a comment such as this one. I think you are misunderstanding the rule which says you can only submit one answer.

If that's the case I understand the rule to mean, you can only submit one answer for that day's trivia.

Or am I making an incorrect assumption?

It also says you can only win once and should stay out of the Trivia Contest after you've won.

Thanks for that, Smitty! I never did read the rules, but that one seems to be a stoopid one to me! It's new this year, because I won twice last year or the year before.

So the bash means nothing to me now, having won this year already.

Well I think the coordinator must have forgot too else he'd have reminded me that I shouldn't have been entering.

Do ya think......

I really don't know what to do. I won on the 15th (I think it was), but I already had one of the prize I was awarded, so I turned it back in for someone else. I don't know if I'm eligible now for the Daily Trivia or not.

I thought the idea of the Bash was to include as many forumites as possible, not to exclude someone because they were a winner. It was only the luck of the draw that made them or me a winner, nothing else really!

Mods, Bash organizers, whoever -- My post here is not meant to be a rant, just an opinion. I learned a lot from the Daily Trivia. Now I don't have a horse in the race!

They are probably not going to see your opinion on the second page of a thread about a specific puzzle in the puzzle contest.

 

[SteveJ]

Really, the mods don't read every post every day? What has our world come to? Do those people have jobs in this economy?

 

[The Penguin]

obviously MesquiteMan doesn't...he sits around all day long dreaming up puzzles to torture us with.

:biggrin:

At least one Mod read it. :biggrin:

 

[MesquiteMan]

Yes, but the mods have nothing to do with the bash. I am involved but alphageek, for example is not at all. And I have so much going on that this point will certainly not get to the trivia contest chair or to the activities manager where it needs to go.

Feel free to step up and run a contest the way you would like it ran.

Thanks for that bash, Landon! I would have thought you would be above that, but I guess I'm wrong again!

I thought I might be able to express an opinion without having it thrown back in my face! It appears I'm wrong on that front as well!

Not a "bash" my friend only an opinion. I got involved to help take things in a new direction that felt was a positive. Some agreed and some did not, but as far as complaing about the rules, I had only to talk to the guy in the mirror.
