game 0047 has resumed in the Interactive Games / Patterns Game thread
the referee is running on a plan B machine
I believe the proper game state(s) have been restored

previous game results are being posted on the Interactive Games / Patterns Game Results thread
let's try to keep that thread clean -- post commentary and bugs reports on the Patterns Game thread

thanks to the moderators for setting up the new topic

Then someone needs to play in order to check this.

Thanks, gsf, for your sterling efforts.

when a separate section was proposed,
i saw no reason for it

now i do see a reason --
this separate section has no Moderator
i.e. only an Admin can intervene

very odd to see the new Topic
http://forum.enjoysudoku.com/viewtopic.php?t=6290
starting off in the middle of a game---

Just an oversight IMO.

it's an interesting comparison between games 45 and 46,
as the patterns are similar

game 45 reached higher ratings

10.0
10.1
10.4

but game 46 got

5.8
5.9
6.0

it was a perfect storm
a hard crash leaving the referee machine dead beyond salvage at almost the
same time as the new forum topic was set up
it was easier (for me) to do the setup once on the new machine and forum topic

There seems to be something with the Patterns Game Results thread which is very strange.
The scores for Game 0012 are hugely down on what they used to be, because of so many puzzles being posted within a few minutes of each other, which, in the Patterns Game Results thread, are listed as "premature-entry", but in the original game, are not.

This is just an observation.

there may be anomalies in the earlier games
especially before the ER/EP/ED ratings

You might want a moderator in case g.r.emlin eventually does a HAL 9000 on you.
