Chronic Logic

Here are the results of a poll that ended last week
(from my site, http://www.bridgebuilder-game.com" target="_blank">http://www.bridgebuilder-game.com ):

Allow posting of scores/designs for an ongoing Pontifex contest?

Yes  35.1%
What`s Pontifex?  16.3%
Yes, in a separate forum  13.5%
No  13.5%
Don`t care  12.4%
Contest?  9.2%

Number of votes: 251  

The numbers speak for themselves...  Almost half of the voters want it to be allowed, at least in a separate forum. CL, are you reading this? http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

BTW, the new poll is 'What structures do you end up building? (In both BB and Pfx!)', go vote now!

Yeah, that site is WEIRD...
BUT it seems to be owned by CL too... http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
Hmmm... is that guy Alex Austin? :biggrin:

I think one-way bridges don't ruin the game. They only add more variety. Maybe they shouldn't be included in the standard level sets, but as an option - why not? Some people like doing unrealistic fun stuff - like building towers instead of bridges. It's the complete freedom to build whatever you like that makes Pontifex even more unique as a game.

I don't really like those levels myself, but having to solve them just once in your life doesn't hurt much, does it?

I suggest you learn what a forum member profile is. Hint: look for this word in the forum menu.

They better really be at it today http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> ... Hope the results page/Hall of Fame blows us all away with its completeness..

You know what I'm suspecting? It takes all weekend to analyze the submitted bridges because the CL guys have probably taken a day off this Sunday! Remember last week? Now this is rudeness! I hope they stop doing such things in the future, after all, we paid for the game (*cough*)...

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH *jumps out of the window*

(Oops, ground floor, ####) *whines*

The only reason not to submit your bridge on the last day is that you would lose a tie. A tie is pretty improbable. So...
Has anyone already built something he's proud of?

I guess it should be allowed by then... But some have expressed the wish not to see any scores until the winner is announced...

Calis, I like your alternate contest concept and I really hope to see BOTH kinds of contests take place here in the future.
taffer, very good point! Though I do think they mean as cheap as possible, it could be CL didn't state that on purpose... How about commenting on this, CL??

Congrats to Calis! His design both impresses and surprises me (I'd never have thought of that!)
Guess I'll have to live forever now... Wait! What restrictions? Noooooooo....

P.S. I felt that the Contest Bridge thread was getting too long... Let's start a post-contest thread...

Calis is still a Newbie http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
The main members page and the CL main page are outdated... Guess that means there's a huge contest stats page coming at us http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

A clear case of missing moderators...

No. All new bridges will have the colors you save as default, however.

SPOILER: That's not the train...
