I spent hours playing that game and got nowhere, can you please tell me what your strategy is, I would be glad to exchange it for my strategy on one of the 19 games I have the championship in.


ps you are so fucking badass, I never thought anyone was going to take that fucking title from blake

Well bey, I hope I have the title for more than a couple of days as I almost went blind getting it! :rubeyes:

Strategy - I am not afraid to discard tiles - even if I have a spot for them, better to get rid of it if it interferes with the line you are building.

I build a base line.. either horizonal or vertical from the start square - then start creating lines off my base line - skipping every second line... once you complete your first alternating lines, go back for the lines you skipped.

You have hold firm to the strategy, it is so easy to get wussy and place a tile instead of discarding it and not take the risk.

I've never been called a fucking badass before :chin: ..... thanks, I think :D

Yeah, I responded post-haste to the challenge ... I admit, I thought it would be cool to bring down the hammer instantly and then post. :D But I was undone, as can happen so easily! And anyway, as you know, playing this kind of Alchemy sure ain't "instant" ... :headache: I played all day yesterday, when I had so many more pressing things to do; I'll go do them today and give you some more time to enjoy your glory. ;)

Blake lol - I wanted to ask you about the timing.... are you playing that whole time?

I took 9800 seconds (2 hours 45 minutes) nonstop to get 103K but I noticed your 94K was 16000 seconds (almost 5 hours :eek: ) I hope you were not playing that whole time - if you were though, I have to admire you for rolling up the sleeves and digging in.

You were very very close at 94K - if you had completed that level the bonus would have taken you past my score.

I appreciate you giving me another day :medal: to enjoy top spot

Thankyew, thankyew--from one champion to another. :)

About the time thing--I played for a long time, but I don't think it was that long. I have long had my suspicions about the clock running at different speeds depending on people's individual computers; mine's especially slow, I'm still using a Pentium II machine.

You know, about the strategy thing--until you mentioned it, Legs, I didn't really concentrate on the lines. Now I do somewhat, since of course it's good for the scoring, but mainly I just try to cover the whole board leaving as many options open as I can.
