eclipsegirl: as I am one of the 90, I will have access to these new possible points........but you won't.......and that is why I thought it was not fair.........I agree with your point re: the downloads as I wouldn't download anything if it wasn't point worthy.........as for my addiction........ALL I WANT IS POINTS.......plus this is my 1534th consecutive day........I missed 1 day while on a trip due to the hotel's computer crashing, otherwise I would have 1797 (what addiction!??) |

I understand your thought process. It is a valid point. Congrats on being one of the first 90 to gain access to those 41 puzzles. I will have to wait. I would love more people to join I do tell my family and friends about this site. This year, when I renewed I gained the access to two books that I am slowly working my way through. (I have 5 left in 102 Large Extra) It took me a while to realize how much further I can get using the books / downloads. I was grateful for the reward after renewing for a second year. I will be grateful for a different reward next year. I think its is OK to reward longevity / persistence / determination/ obsessions Now If Patrick can manage to make the two books that are no longer available somehow available, or that one - off Patrick made for the school in Malaysia..... |

I should add some kind of "half life" calculation to the points... I did not ask for that. I am scared I would be a target of much resentment Aren't the 7 and 30 day rankings basically just that - rankings with a fairly rapid decay rate? I suppose if you want to really get people obsessed over never missing a day you could add 6 and 12 month rankings. I take a break every once in a while knowing that I can more or less catch up, and even inch higher on the 7-day ranking with the additional extra puzzles available. But with more rankings between 30 days and all-time it would be harder to step away. |

It's tricky. The modular arithmetic and the user community are a big draw for me. But the points are definitely a large part of what makes this site so 'sticky'. For better or worse they are part of the calcudoku culture. |

Now, I am much worse. |
