THE LIST - A Winner is You?

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Also, I'd like to know how an extra 15 minutes was added onto my time...

I believe it was because once you submitted the final image of your screen the timer stopped (and to think I had to rush after finishing and almost just kept it and then would've submitted it when I came back ._.)

[xtopherusD]

I have a feeling that the puzzle timer was slightly slower than real time...

No, he counted the time between your start and end in the google doc.

[xtopherusD]

I know, but it seemed to add much more time than I would expect simply from that. Plus, I got an extra minute or so added, but Richard got 15... I severely doubt that RGHP didn't understand the submission system and took that long to upload an image.

[Cybele]

Nah. I only had about a minute added to my time, which seems about right.

[SoraAdvent]

*hugs xtoph*

Thanks.

I felt the same way: my actual puzzle score was 36:55, but somehow I got 46: something. Oh well: I did have problems with my Internet.

I did have some trouble getting the screencap to an uploadable state—I tried to put it an a Word document that already had text in it, and I couldn't save it, so I had to open a new document. I wouldn't have thought that that would be fifteen minutes' work, though.

I am going to rage if every challenge hereafter is 1/100 the difficulty. I am NOT good at jigsaw puzzles.

You couldn't just paste it in a decent graphics editor?

Also, not that it mattered, but the computer I was using at the time automatically gave the option to save the screenshot as a PNG, which was nice.

[RichardGHP]

I'm not really savvy with that kind of thing. Now it occurs to me that I could have done it in PowerPoint, where I save images all the time for Wheel of Fortune.

[diginova]

There's a small Windows utility called Snipping Tool that takes a screenshot of any part of your screen and automatically saves it, FYI.

[Axxle]

I just use Paint and the printscreen button...

[xofelf]

Yeah I do it the way diginova mentioned.

[Xalxe]

Oh, speaking of which: the next challenge will require minor image editing abilities. Paint will work fine.

[kdowns]

Explain to me how 12 minutes was added to my time please. Because quite frankly it's bullshit.

If you have any further questions, my inbox is open.

[animorpherv1]

HEY GUYS I CAN ANSWER AS KDOWNS NOW. SOUNDS GOOD.

[D3f3nd3r]

FYI to all: A helpful way to get images is to take them on an external device (for example a smartphone), email them to yourself, put them into imgur or a similar website, then give in the link. I do this because the Print Screen on my computer does not work.

[kdowns]

Xalxe, Message me on AIM when you get on please.

I generally do this unless I'm being timed. In which case I'll use Printscreen & Paint.

Announcement for players

: In the future, if you encounter issues with challenges such as the internet shitting out on you, things not loading properly or a 50-foot tall dinosaur attacking your house, please be sure to inform me prior to the results. This is generally good practice, but I thought I'd remind some of you.

*A shitload of whitespace*

What's wrong with spoiler= tags?

[animorpherv1]

DRAMATIC TENSION

[Axxle]

I kind of like the whitespace, it forces people to scroll through the results instead of just opening the last one to see who got eliminated.

These.

Xalxe - you may want to have kdowns change his "password" for the challenges, as you posted it publicly
