NO Introduction & Hidoku (beta)

in NO Community17 days ago (edited)

Oh my goodness, yet another alternate ego! But... why???
Well, it's really as simple as it sounds: I (the original) fell out of love with my blog (the original one). Games, games, games – and my little sheep and lambs (plus all those clever posts I wrote back in the days) just got completely lost in the shuffle.
But I do love playing games – so what to do? Aha!

No worries, I won’t be annoying or bothering anyone for now except the NO community. I’ll also spare you (and myself) a formal introduction – surely, there can’t be any doubt as to who I am. A fake? Well, perhaps Chriddi can confirm that I am Chriddi? And maybe my original self might even vote for this post, just so DUBby has something to hand out?

Here’s what I’m planning:

  • NO-Wördel (a matter of honour!)
  • NO-Quördel (of course!)
  • NO-Hidoku (on trial...)
  • and everything else that makes NO fun!

Right, enough waffling – let’s get this first game started!
And since this community could do with a bit of a reboot, I’d like to summon the players @p… oh wait, newcomer status (mentions won’t go through…)!
@chriddi, over to you!
Ahem… let the games begin!


Hidoku (beta)

Hidoku Rules


Fill in the empty cells to form a chain of consecutive numbers from 1 to the total number of cells.
Each number in the chain must touch the next one horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

NO-Hidoku Rules

Of course, this is a team game – we’re playing together!

  • Post your guesses in the comments using the format D2=2 (for example).
  • Every correct number earns you DUBby rewards!
  • You can suggest up to three numbers in one comment. But beware: if even one is incorrect, you get NO DUBby rewards at all! Better safe than sorry – maybe just stick to one or two numbers?
  • You may suggest numbers again when:
    • the referee (me or I or myself) has confirmed or rejected your guesses, and
    • another player has made a guess after you.
  • We play until each cell is filled correctly.

  • Pro tip: Print out the Hidoku grid and write in the correct numbers by hand – there won’t be any digital photo service!

Right then — let’s get going!

Have Fun!

Hallo? Was sehen meine vom griechischen Essen beschwerten Augen(lider)? Ein weiterer alter Ego mit gaaanz viel Tatendrang.

Herzlichen Willkommen 😎

Und ich darf mich gleich als erster um das Spielfeld kümmern. Ich hoffe, ich habe alles richtig verstanden...

E1 = 3,
E3 = 7,
E4 = 8.

The puzzle is solved – weisser-rabe has successfully filled the final empty cell.

Great to have you on board for the NO-Hidoku debut!
As a thank-you, the generous remaining DUBby pot will be shared equally among all active players... 😎

Das ging ja schnell. Gut, dass ich heute Vormittag schon mitgemacht habe, sonst hätte ich es verpasst... 😀

Ja, ja, war halt die Beta-Version. Viel zu einfach. Und unbedacht, dass so ganz plietsche Leute (die eben nicht mit Hidoku-Lösern arbeiten, sondern ehrgeizig echtes Brain-Gym betreiben) sogleich das ganze Rätsel lösen und ihre (natürlich korrekten, denn das Rätsel ging ja auf dem Papier auf...) Vorschläge nur noch abtippen. Naja. Ich arbeite dran. Ehrlich gesagt ist die Neuauflage schon fast fertig, aber dann kam mir eine Zeugenaussage dazwischen... 😇
Der Schafmarkt in Lensahn zudem. Schade, der fiel ziemlich ins Wasser. Als ich spät (da ich einfach gehofft hatte, dass es endlich mal aufhört zu gießen) ankam, packten die meisten bereits frustriert und durchnässt ein. Kaum Besucher, ein süßer Streichelzoo mit gut zehn Rassen ohne Streichler. Mäx hat sich in eine Skudde verliebt (die der Besitzer aber nicht gegen Manni tauschen wollte) und ich konnte derweil einen sehr wichtigen Kontakt knüpfen. Die Vorsitzende des Schafzüchterverbands findet meine Lämmer wunderschön und will sie auch ohne Herdbucheintrag ans Schwarze Brett pinnen... 😁

I hate this kind of advertising – normally, there’s NO tolerance for that sort of thing, but we’re still in beta mode... 😎

Well, perhaps Chriddi can confirm that I am Chriddi?

I am you and you are me - we are one big family!

And maybe my original self might even vote for this post, just so DUBby has something to hand out?

Ehrensache!

@chriddi, over to you!

Ouch, I hate mentions! But if I have to: @event-horizon, @henryclive, @moecki, @peppermint24, @the-gorilla and also @soulfuldreamer and @ubongudofot and whoever else I've forgotten - you should breathe new life into the NO community and have to play... 😎

Hallo?!?! Ich habe das geschrieben! Ich habe dich erschaffen. Ich bin du und du bist ich, ergo weiß ich, was du tust! Außerdem kannst du ruhig deutsch mit mir reden. Ja, du hast recht: für dermaßen anmaßende Dekadenz gibt es hier NO Toleranz. Mute!

I will complete the puzzle

Though not completely. According to my handwritten notes, cell A3 is still unoccupied... 😉
Unfortunately, you are not allowed to fill in this cell, because according to the rules you have to wait for the next player. Well, maybe someone will read this hint... 🫣

Oops I thought it was already guessed. 🤦‍♀️

I don't know why I feel so detached from Steem these days. Thanks to your creative efforts which reignite my interest and pull me back. Hidoku might be the warmup I need for my scanty activities.

I don't know why I feel so detached from Steem these days.

I can certainly answer this question for myself. At the same time, I'm determined not to let all the losers and spoilsports take away what has somehow been a part of my life for a good seven years... 💪

Hidoku might be the warmup I need for my scanty activities.

That would be great!
Of course there will be a new edition of the game very soon. I don't know yet whether it will be often: I'm afraid that the game won't be an exciting team effort, but a labour of love if everyone does what Maan does and the suggestions are well prepared so that there can be NO slip-ups... 😉

Dann habe ich das Spiel nicht gecheckt. :D

Doch, ich denke, du hast das Spiel gecheckt. Du hast einfach nur die falschen Zahlen eingesetzt. 12, 13 und 14 sind woanders... 😇

Achso, die Zahlen liegen alle schon fest?
Dachte das Häuschen muss halt passend aufgefüllt werden, damit es am Ende aufgeht. Dann waren das vor mir quasi alles Glücksschüsse. :D

In der nächsten Runde nehme ich erst mal nur eine Zahl. :)

In der nächsten Runde nehme ich erst mal nur eine Zahl.

Sehr weise! Wobei diese Strategie für die vorliegende wirklich simple Einstiegsvariante nicht unbedingt nötig ist. Einige Zahlen ergeben sich von ganz alleine. Für die 12 lagen die Chancen bei 50/50...
