idle: After at least 3 entries have been made (the deal counts as entry 1) and 22 hours with no submissions (5 days if < 4 players) the referee posts a message that the game has gone idle and will close in 2 hours if there are no further submissions. If there is a submission within 2 hours the game goes back to the open state.

g.r.emlin's frozen? Buried in a snow-drift? Here's an X-sudoku to while away the time. I found it very hard to produce one for this pattern:

lost ip connectivity + reboot => extra time

very interesting deal
high pearls sandwiched between a bunch of */1.2/1.2's

very interesting deal
high pearls sandwiched between a bunch of */1.2/1.2's

and on top of it 10.x/1.2/1.2

seems to stay alone in the field.

Not easy to detect and no true clue using my solver
