with many puzzles having an ER over 9.

This is an entry barrier nearly impossible to overcome.

and now (2d3h), 75 puzzles -18 trumped = 57 ratings

i don't have to post any 9.x to get a positive score

my 6 posted puzzles are all x/1.2/1.2
therefore likely to be trumped
2 of them have already been trumped

perhaps for the present game we can modify the timeout
so the game can end only after all my puzzles have been trumped ?

Hi pat,

I am learning a lot from your comments and reactions of others players.

I did not notice before that a trumped puzzle is counted for 0.

I am more and more convinced that newcomers will be there just for fun.

May be we could fight together in the near future to catch the worst positive score

whereas my comment
does show a puzzle with the triple ratings,
it could confuse someone --
perhaps this deserves a penalty

the referee is pedantic and also prone to introducing errors when that part of the code is touched
the referee does look the other way for junk in [ quote ] ... [ /quote ]
but comments should really be prefaced by ::: comment :::
I've been duped into doing the same many times

I accept my penalty with good grace. There is a rule about comments that I did not follow.
