I did not notice that the post of mike was a comment, but this put me in trouble.

My submission has been accepted, what should not have been in a fair game. (I even got a rarity premium)

One could voluntarily do that at the end of a game to create a break.

Glenn, what is your opinion

sorry, I misread that penalty, this refers to the last post

Glen, look at my submission just following the last post of mike.

It should have been a consecutive entry

Hi champagne,

your last puzzle post (ED=5.0/4.2/2.6) is dated 9:53
and the previous one (ED=5.4/4.0/4.0) is dated 9:47
6 mn between the 2 => premature-entry -50

Gremlin keep your "premature entry" in the list... I don't know if you have some points for that or just a -50...
the rule says :
"assign -50 for each invalid submission" and
"assign means the submission only gets the assigned points (and does not participate in any other bonus scoring or labeling)"
but the fact that gremlin keeps the entry should be better explained in the game rules !

Normally I must be able to play without any penalty for "consecutive posts" because you have played even if there is a penalty.
let us try...

it' ok for the last penalty.
As the puzzle is accounted, you can play, although you kept your "last entry" bonus.

Nevertheless, I made before a consecutive entry not seen by the referee

So far, nothing came in the high ratings.
I doubt I have a bug in the process, so it is probably a question of strategy in the seeds selection

You are right :

champagne : it is probably a question of strategy in the seeds selection

As many of us use the same strategy "explore vicinity of a puzzle - the seed - by {-N+N}, the main diffences is in the choice of seeds and choice of N.

I have 7 parameters for the seed choice algorithm that I adjust depending on results and game evolution... It gives good results !

But you can be lucky or not... for example, I think I got the 10.1 by pure chance !

Regards
Patrice
