Announcing the results of the first Evilest Of Them All contest (which I ran)! With great appreciation for our 10 prize-pool donors and to our 7 judges on the panel, it's my pleasure to present, out of several dozen submissions, that these are the Evilest Evil NG games we could find! Drumroll... 🥇 First Place (265k MC, 850 Aqua): To Eff[HPS] , via 3bv (aka Oskain), for https://minesweeper.online/new-game?g=830620516 (sequence beginning 5:47) 🥈 Second Place (159k MC, 510 Aqua): To Zhu4ara , for https://minesweeper.online/new-game?g=2336374386 (sequence beginning 3:45) 🥉 Third Place (106k MC, 340 Aqua): To YTF, in a photo-finish by 1 point across all 7 judges ahead of 4th, for https://minesweeper.online/new-game?g=5085529333 (sequence beginning 2:45) 🎀 Honorable Mentions: - Aniridia, for https://minesweeper.online/new-game?g=5088951675 (at 2:30) - Cedur, for https://minesweeper.online/new-game?g=5167780943 (at 3:20) - Bushtimy, for https://minesweeper.online/new-game?g=4903538795 (at 3:45) Anyone interested can DM me to get the full list of submissions, and/or judging grades and prize pool info sheet, if curious. I'm sure this and other games we'll find will provide plenty of fuel for debate, and/or confusion at the crazy positions the game threw at them. Thanks to all who participated, and maybe we'll do this again sometime! ----- I'm something of a high-diff specialist. I feel comfortable even in high densities up to 25%. Custom boards, Random or High-Diff Arenas, Expert stuff, etc are my bread-and-butter. Playing a lot of Evil NG trained me to spot what you need to spot in those situations. But I'm not fast, and I'll never be all that fast. -- Check out my Guide -- Finally published my Advanced Techniques with Practice Puzzles guide! It teaches all the stuff (solving patterns, guessing strategies) that you need when playing mastery or high difficulty. And it then gives you scenarios to practice on. It's long, but you can just read the parts you need one at a time. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D0P7nlRoCC5c1Cv6U75Ykyc-hxW7Ti9H-3vG_pgnI_g/edit?usp=sharing -- Event Shop value spreadsheet -- Not sure what to spend those event points on?
