Skirts, thanks. I didn’t play a ton but know I lost at least one winnable, prob more. Someone mentioned before on here that they play whilst watching tv. I can’t play at all well unless I’m totally focused. Idk how folks multitask with FC. It’s almost as challenging to avoid distractions as it is to play. In fact, I’ve made that a separate game- trying to con animals into rest while I feed my FC addiction, lol. (Srsly, what’s the deal with animals and computers? I have 2 who, instant I pull out tablet, start begging for attention. I put it away, they want to be left alone.)
smelly, you’re joking abt animal thing right? Deals aren’t decided by humans, right?
I’d never guess these have so many UW’s. Not that 27 isn’t impressive record, I just wouldn’t have known that’s a high for these had you not mentioned, but guess I’ve not played em a lot. That’s cool Hops on 26 then! Congrats Hop! And also xyz for player of week!
Do ppl have any tricks (real or imaginary) that supposedly help avoid unwinnables? Like I usually like playing fast. Was the fact the cat slowed me down possibly helpful w/ deals? Or that just superstition?
Ps-thnx for link cellmate
That 27 is the daily record. dade36 had a "streak" of 28, and Bible had one of 27 separately from that daily record. And yes............people have "tricks". Look into SirPape's "methodology".
And it is a well-known "fact" 🙄 that the dealer very often will punish you for taking a break when you're on a good run.
"That’s cool Hops on 26 then! Congrats Hop!"
Thanks. I took my chances for one game. After winning it, I didn't want to play (or didn't feel like playing) another game.
Yea, that seems stressy, Hop. Good for you giving it a go under pressure. I need to pay attention to streak records more, prob been missing lots of cool stuff y’all do.
TN, yeah I’ve shared in that superstition or fact or whatever. But then, like I said, I did manage to pause a few times on the 15 when cat nearly broke stuff. And was idle other times trying to get her settled. Still still had winnables after in both cases, so maybe it’s not so easily predictable and we may just be reading into it. I also thought playing fast helps w that, now I’m not so sure. But I’ll look at sir pape’s stuff in a bit to see the word on it.
Oh cool, I just looked at my scores and I didn’t lose a winnable after all. Just assumed it was because I got distracted and lost so was annoyed. Usually on ssc stuff I lose a ton of winnables tho so that’s not the norm for me. And TN is right that all mine were climate 5 or 6. Most had decent win percentages too, only a handful were more rarely won. I do have an easier time with zeroes and most wides tho, idk why.
I’m playing today’s but I rlly don’t like lots of cells and a narrow board. My mind just can’t picture moves the same. Trying to improve w them tho so need to practice, and these don’t seem as bad as some other narrows I guess.
I like to try to see how many time wasting activities I can do simultaneously 😁
Favorite is tv in the pool 😁
The (main) story of SirPape:

There's more scattered around, but that's where "it" all started.
Non-tournament players would not have noticed that SirPape is proving to be pretty handy at them, finishing high up and even winning some of the tougher ones lately.
