High time to start my blog. Perhaps I'm supposed tell something about myself. Don't know. Should I?
Played pretty much this weekend for the first time since ages.
Didn't write down what I did yesterday. I tried to clean up the favorites list. Looking at the newbies list, layouts jump into it after I think: "Nice one". After playing a layout I use to look at stats for the rank/time and if others in the best list and this player have made other layouts.
Since I play mostly in Speed mode and use shuffle, I did that if nothing is mentioned.
This is what I played today:
- Baby Floppy Heart by Angelwings13in 6 attempts, 5.36.3 without shuffle.
- Bright by poloapo in 1 attempt, 3.41.5 Daily Double.
- Ed's Experiment #94 by BakerMom in 2 attempts in Speed, 4.28.4.
- Boxed in #7 by Angelwings13in 2 attempts, 5.01.6 .
- Wavy Wall #3 by Angelwings13 in 1 attempt in, 3.31.6 .
- KJ-10 by Katleen Ann, 1 attempt, 0.44.4 in concentration without shuffle.
- KJ-11 by Katleen Ann, 2 attempts 3.41.5 .
- Myrna's Tower #28 by Myrna San, 1 attempt, 4.07.02 .
- Uzigzag by LisaNewby, 1 attempt in Concentration,2.28.0 with Daily Double.
- The girls by toid, 2 attempts, 3.58.7.
- Squash-It by Rammie, 1 attempt, 2.51.2 without shuffle.
- Square 2 Square by Honnon1 in 1 attempt, 2.12.5 without shuffle.
- Sfasdf by chocobomacca in 1 attempt, 1.01.7 without shuffle.
- Delight 145 by Gbaiko in 1 attempt, 6.58.4 without shuffle.
- Crossed Tower 8 by Gbaiko in 46 attempts. 5.53.3 .
That's 39 attempts yesterday. I was about sending this one to the moderator. But the layout can't help it, me being too dumb to solve it. In that case I would not be able to try again. I dropped it from favorites instead. But I found that other one in the newbies list today and decided to give it another try. That's to say 7 other tries. This one messed up several Daily Doubles. That's only a notification to leave game for avoiding Player Errors.
- Rosiers14 by titidu57 in 1 attempt, 1.19.1concentration without shuffle.
- Alternater 62 by Jooles, 1 attempt, 1.53 without shuffle
- Alternater 61 by Jooles, 6 attempts, 4.22.2 without shuffle. Would have been faster with shuffle, but then it is not PPS anymore.
- Typo Error by angelwings13 in 2 attempts 1.06.4 in concentration without shuffle.

Lol. I'm always buys. If not, I'm making plans for projects that will keep me busy. Making plans keeps me busy all the time even during doing things, I planned before. I need more lifetime.
Today I was so dumb to play further after Daily Double, got that silly Player Error, which expect object. What? Bugs? Incoming missiles? Nothing happens. (CTRL-ALT-DEL). So I didn't got the points.
I lost that nice green V's at the played layouts as well. But the best time is saved. Weirdo. I play them again another time perhaps (for better times, I hope).
I played:
#&^@!!!!!!! by Starspeed, 8 attempts in speed, with Shuffle and a Daily Double.
Can't Be Hard 182 by * Da Love Rat * in 1 attempt without shuffle in Speed Mode
Can't Be Hard 180 by * Da Love Rat * in 4 attempts without Shuffle in Speed Mode.
12th floor by Teanne Kim in Concentration mode in 1 attempt with Shuffle.
Ice Cream Cone and Chrysanthenum... by Myrna San, both in Concentration Mode. (Can't recall shuffle or not.)
Ice Cream Cone gave the Daily Double. I love layouts like Chrysanthenum and played that right after. The layout I wanted to play after caused the error. But if I load it now, it doesn't, so it is not due to the layout.
I got so mad about loosing the points, I played loads of Myrna San's series Quickie in Concentration Mode right into Lightning Goat.

Good for you, not having lost the points. I can be a RLP in a fortnight, if I want to.
This morning I played of course the hardest layout. I wonder why it is hard.
- Alexis53 by alexis972, 2 attempts with shuffle.
- A Present by JanisClaire01, 4 attempts without shuffle.
- a titi by odeska 57, 2 attempts without shuffle in Concentration Mode.
- ancient times by Faithr, 1 attempt without shuffle.
- Basket for gathering by Debbie S., 2x in Concentration without Shuffle.
- Block squares by jules1, 2x in Concentration Mode (Forgot to write down, whether shuffled, I suppose so.)
- Bugzzz by Dingo, 2x in Speed without shuffle.
- CAT DOG by jacob, 5x in Speed without shuffle.
- CHEF by Nancy Gib, 1x in concentration without shuffle.
Wow, I found a CHEF for the restaurant.
- cucu by IPO, 1x in concentration with Daily Double, I'm ranking up so fast.
- chess tower 3 by C:\Witch in Speed took me 3 times.
- das geile spiel by Kleiner3ngel in concentration in 1 attempt.
- double the trouble by Fathr in 9 attempts speed.
I had more Daily Doubles today than mentioned. Gerrit warned me to go out of the game every time, lol. He doesn't like fire headed mood. As you can see, I'm at the "D" of the favourites list now. Better not check the newbies for a while.

Went to the shopping centre today. Have to renew my ID card next week. It expires in August. It takes a week to get a new one. I need to have a photo for that. So this is the most recent me:  Hair blown by the wind of course. It has a will of its own. I gave up on that years ago. |

It is exactly one year ago I purchased Mahjong Towers Eternity at Big Fish Games this evening. I was seeking for another mahjong game, since Gerrit got a little bored with Mahjong Quest, he played countless times. Didn't take me an hour, wanting to have this one. Quarter of it was sufficient. I didn't play Mahjong much myself before. I preferred: logic/puzzle, tetris like, pinball and breakout games. Even in my wildest dreams I couldn't imagine, getting this much addicted myself to MTE at that time. No need for me to seek for this kind of games anymore after. Only purchased Mahjong Adventures and Mah-Jomino at the weekends the server was down. Gerrit still plays them as well as MJ Quest. With Mah-Jomino, Gerrit can't finish the last 4 puzzles. He says, he just can't get through an in-between puzzle in the end. It has only two options. He gets stuck at both. Has any of you a good idea to help him out? |

I agree Gerda, that MTE is the most addicting game there is. Don't know what I'm going to do when I go on vacation, lol...
I still play mahjong quest, I like that game alot. I never heard of mah-jomino.

Finally I succeeded convincing the hubby to put in another sound card. First he came up with one called Sweex. No sound at all. Magic box didn't even notice having it in. Hubby had to go back to the shop. I always had it Creative SoundBlaster since good old DOS. Good thing not forgetting reminding him to that. So he came back with one that worked.
Now music is shut off, while playing MTE. Not so nice, blaming game if it is caused by hardware. Though I do not understand why music is added to games. It is so boring having to listen the same tune over and over again. I prefer my own choice of music.
I have two little speakers in front instead of the big ones connected through amplifier in the back of me.
My desk is trembling, playing RLW. Lol. He also put a sub woofer under the desk.

Hi Gerda. I know what you mean about the same old music playing in the background. I turn on the Music Match Jukebox program I have and I let it play the songs I have downloaded/installed into the library for it. I can pick them as I want them or just load all kinds of them and shuffle them so a wide variaty will play for me. Have a good one. Rich

With game off line I reveal you a little secret why I love to create layouts so much. It is so nice to see the background picture shining through the tiles. Like this fractal one of Acme. Even if game never went on line again, I would continue creating them. Just for the fun of it.  |
