Hmm, gsf is penalized because Patrice deletes an entry. Is there an adjustment for that?

that's a chink in the referee's armor
it polls the forum at regular intervals
if an entry is made *and* it is deleted while it is the last post *and* both happened between polls then
the referee does not know about it
I had the bad luck of seeing what the referee didn't

not sure what we can do about that
however, if it becomes a consistent strategy to gain advantage I'm sure there's something we can do

it seems more complex

Patrice has the last entry so it has been accounted by the referee

I can't see any reason why he would have cancelled that entry!!!

Anyway, the referee knows it

thanks champagne
it should have occurred to me that I was looking at the referee's results before making an entry
the referee should be able to detect this by retaining the previous interpretation of the last forum page
and comparing it with the current polled image

just to add fun in the game and to show he is consistent, the referee cancelled that entry and now your 4.0 1.2 1.2 is number 81.

In this instance, the referee could have detected the deletion and penalized Patrice instead of gsf. Because of interval polling, however, this "chink" in the referee's armor would still exist.

Hmm, in these days of exaggerated political correctness, the slang term "chink" might no longer be appropriate.

::: comment :::
I apologize for the deletion of my post.
I though there was an error in the format of my post, and try to delete it immediately but gremlin was too fast and was able to extract the puzzle and rating...

It seems that gremlin took it at first, but now mine is no more in the list. And GSF one is in the list of results !

Ronk : it's not a gaming strategy !!!
We should look if there is a mean to forbid editing or deletion of post in that specific thread !

So lets continue the game
As a "penalization" I will wait the next GSF post

Best regards

exactly

gsf, how did the deletion go unnoticed ??
