Won't it be fun to start with simple new puzzles again? And then, when you're struggling with More Dilemmas ( ) you can choose whether you want to continue struggling with Dutch Dilemmas or with More Dilemmas...
BTW If one is really stuck on a puzzle, one can always ask for a hint, either on the forum, or by pm-ing someone. _________________ Sinterklaascontest live! |

Oh yes it will be good to have more variety to go along with PT1 and PT2, and C&A and .....

Out of interest, are we anticipating a deluge of puzzlers bringing the site to a standstill again?
If so I'll be nice and wait for a while before starting... |

Let's hope not
We didn't post trailers on Dutch forums this time, to avoid the site going down again, but if it is crowded... it's a good idea to wait a while _________________ All that matters doesn't mean a thing,

It would be much appreciated if you could do what you can to keep the site alive! I don't think holding off for a short amount of time will disadvantage anyone. The problem arises when everyone is trying to access the contest page at the same time.
We're on a shared host, and it doesn't just slow our site down, it slows down the other sites on the host too. Which is why our hosts took the site offline the last time around. I don't really want that to happen again. They might not be so forgiving this time...
So, I have a couple of suggestions.
1. If you're not bothered about waiting, don't try accessing the site at exactly 9pm. Wait 15 minutes, or 30, or even an hour. It'll make it easier for everyone!
2. If you work in a team and have a private forum (or IM system), you could nominate one member to access the site, and for the first hour or so post the puzzles on your forum (or IM system). That would certainly cut down the number of people trying to use the site all at once. Your team members can catch up later when things smooth out.
Fingers crossed that everything *does* go smoothly. _________________ Puzzletome - Confusion now hath made his masterpiece! |
