To everyone here enjoying puzzles at calcudoku.org:
So I haven't really done much puzzling lately. After I stopped doing all the puzzles everyday it got much better for time. But even having to get on for 4x4, 5x5, 6x6 or timed puzzles wasn't really fun anymore for me. It somehow felt like another obligation... like I must do timed puzzles because I'm decently good at it and must get my name in the ranks. But really, I stopped caring. Things just aren't so fun when they feel obligatory. Anyway, I find there's a lot of other things I should do that I've been putting off. And I guess I switched to a different hobby. Calcudoku was fun while it lasted. It was also fun getting to know some of you.
starling, sheldolina: Keep breaking records on the timed puzzles. Glad to see the sub-4 barrier on 4x4 has been broken. Think you'll ever get sub-3???
picklepep, clm, rickt: I considered you my closest competition on the all-time rankings and 7-day rankings. It was fun to race up the list with you guys and compete from week to week.
mparisi: You have really got stamina, doing this for years. Hats off to you. I think once I got to where I am on the rankings, I realized it would take years of constant puzzling to ever beat you. Before I got here, it was fun to play because I could move up on the rankings I guess, but now I just wouldn't move forward by much anymore so it feels rather stagnant.
beaker: I really enjoyed our conversations about calcudoku, people, life, and everything. I enjoyed getting to know you. I wish you and your family the best... especially your daughter... and soon the new little one! Perhaps I'll check back sometime so I can congratulate you on your new grandpa status...
Patrick: Thanks very much for this great site. Keep up the great work you've done here. Sorry to have to leave. I don't really see myself coming back... but who knows. It's nothing you did or didn't do. I really think the site is awesome. Remember not to be too much of a pushover.
If you ever do bring 4x4x4 puzzles on the site or some such stuff, send me an email or something because I'd like to try them.
Bye everyone! I'll miss you guys!
