rossian Mainstay Registered: Sat Jun 10 2006 Posts: 945 Loc: Merseyside UK	Congratulations to everyone who got a shiny new badge this time around. I played this time but am trying to convince myself not to play in the next GC as it's so time consuming. When it comes to the crunch, will I be able to resist? And if I do play, will I be able to stop being so competitive? Answers on a postcard, please.

MikeMaster99 Enthusiast Registered: Sun Oct 23 2011 Posts: 311 Loc: Melbourne VIC Australia	I view it like golf - the competition is with yourself and the course (question sets) rather than anyone else. I'm still in the 'addicted' phase!

dg_dave Star Poster Registered: Sun Oct 05 2003 Posts: 17754 Loc: Dallas, TX USA	I play about every other to every third GC, as there are times I feel I don't have the time to put that much effort into it. I will, however, play again, but it won't be GC17. _________________________ The way to get things done is NOT to mind who gets the credit for doing them. --Benjamin Jowett No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. --Eleanor Roosevelt The day we lose our will to fight is the day we lose our freedom.

Terry Head Honcho Registered: Wed Dec 31 1969 Posts: 16928 Loc: USA	I'm siding with a longer-than-usual break this time since I've got a pretty crazy schedule this month and like to be able to make sure everything launches smoothly -- Mar 26 perhaps.

Calpurnia09 Explorer Registered: Thu Jun 18 2009 Posts: 51 Loc: South Australia	Is this an appropriate place to ask why my profile shows that my highest level reached is Genius when I reached Immortal two or three GCs ago?

WesleyCrusher Administrator Registered: Thu Sep 04 2008 Posts: 2862 Loc: Germany	Why not - the answer is rather simple: The code that does this check is no longer working and the level hasn't been updated for several GCs. It's on the bugs list, but not at a really high priority. _________________________ FT Editor and Administrator Guardian of the Tower

Calpurnia09 Explorer Registered: Thu Jun 18 2009 Posts: 51 Loc: South Australia	Actually the reason I asked was that a couple of people suggested I go for Immortal, when they saw that I seemingly had only reached Genius. No matter, it's not a high priority.
