Hi. I've come up with nice event with great prizes in the end. As you can see from the title, this event will involve jigidi puzzles (24 in total, to be exact). It will be in form of Advent calendar where you will need to solve each day's jigidi in order to get some points. More points -> Better stuff at the end.
To be more fair to people who aren't always online, each weekday puzzle will be running for 3 days and weekend puzzles will be available from friday to monday.

Jigidies will be posted at 8pm gmt+2 each day from 1st December to 24th December.

Help on how to and correct point table has been posted in website's help category
Some points have been calculated, you can see them in your profile.

Points will be awarded/taken away for:

  • Solving each jigidi (+20p)
  • Solving each jigidi on exact date (+10p)
  • Solving jigidi faster than given base time (+1p/sec)
  • Solving jigidi slower than given base time (-1p/15 sec)
  • Missing jigidi (-35p and -1p/15 sec of base time)
  • Lying in result submission form (-250p)
  • Submitting ineligible screenshot (-100p)

Extra points:

  • Registering before 1st December 8pm gmt+2 (+15p)
  • Solving this past jigidi (+25p)
  • Submitting legit bug report (+15p)
  • Submitting legit translations for site in another language (+1p/translation)
  • Missing jigidi / submission because of my fault (+10p)

Eligibility:

  • To be eligible for prizes in the end, you must have positive point value
  • Each day's fastest solvers will be eligible for a game of their choice. Voting will be added mid-December.
  • Top 24 users with most points will be eligible for a game of their choice. Voting will be added closer to event end.
  • Top 100 users will eligible for bundle train after event.
  • All users with positive point value will be eligible for other giveaways over the course of event.

I've made a website for this event. For now you can only sign in through Steam aka register there. Everything else will be available in next few days, with first jigidi coming tomorrow.

https://advent.source.lv

Now you can see your submissions in profile page. Next stop -> point calculation

If you have any questions, ask below in this thread. DO NOT ADD ME to discuss this event, write everything you want in here. If you already are in my friend's list on Steam, you can write me if you don't want to post here.

For blacklisted people:
If you join and get to Top 24 fastest solvers or Top 24 in most points, I'll remove you from my blacklist if you are not in my DO NOT REMOVE list (10 - 15 users in there)

P.S.
Please Bump This Up

Solving past puzzle now won't get you any points! To get points, you needed to solve it when it was active!

Not sure how this works. Solved today's puzzle, got 10pts (I think from solving it), but what about extra 15pts? I solved B-Day puzzle when it came out even managed to make it in top 10 for some time. You can find my post in comments. Also, registered yesterday, well maybe it was already past 00:00. Not bitching about not getting pts. just wandering how the system works.

P.S. if needed, I could help with Lithuanian translation.

10p are for pre registration, solving points will be calculated when submission form will be added. extra points will be awarded later in december when there will be more users registered here from that puzzle

For the registration bonus I thought I got in just in time but I guess I had the time messed up in my head and thouhgt that plus two was actually just at 8pm gmt plus two hours (so like 10pm gmt) instead of being 8pm at different time zone thats ahead two hours. Oofta! I demand one world clock! Night and day become irrelevant!

Too late, so I will pass since it's after +10p Dec 1st time. Looks like fun though.

The 10 points from that only mean 10 seconds extra solve time, it's not gamebreaking. :)

Yeah true. It still is 10p less though, and will take some time to get good times, I suppose.

Wow, that base time seems steep (got 9:49 my 3rd try)! I'll probably run into the negatives but hopefully there's some fun ones.

What's the base time for the first jigsaw? I just completed it but I'm way slower than those top 10 times.

7 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

it should say that base time is 450 seconds which is 7 minutes and 30 seconds, which was apparently way too high, given that i solved it in almost 11 minutes :D

Thanks, just noticed that!
Solved it in just over 10 minutes. Just re-did it though to get 7:26, just ok! ;-)

same rules for everyone, -100p for screenshot without username. if there will be second screenshot with same time and no username, you'll risk a ban from event

If I'm on the leaderboard does that screenshot count? It shows username, puzzle and "your time" down below.

Edit: this screenshot.

Also, can we submit better times until the deadline, or submit only once?

leaderboards can change and more stuff for me to do, i have enough to do with redoing website buildup, still have ton of stuff to implement - tops, correct forms, help, giveaways, actual point calculations etc.

if jigidi lets you, you can do as much as you like. i'm sure most people does that

Yeah we can re-run the puzzle, I'm just wondering if the first screenshot for any puzzle is the one you take, or if we can submit better times later (within the deadline).

i can't check on which run you took a screenshot, don't care. you just can submit only one on my site and that's the one i will look at

Whats the puzzle #2 time to beat again? I thought it said something like 350 seconds? Sounds...too low after finishing it though...?

6 minutes.

I'm having a hard time with it too, yesterday's was more forgiving~

Comment has been collapsed.

i'm basing base time kinda around mine. yesterday i finished in like 11 minutes, made base time to 7, which was way too high. today i finished it in roughly 7, so i made base 6 minutes. i'm a pretty slow solver myself, didn't think about the part of me solving this too fast

I see myself as an average solver, and I do this one in 11 minutes. I dunno where you get the idea that you are slow...

Comment has been collapsed.

based on other jigidies in past, i've tried those daily ones, i think aurorable posts them, and i'm slow. there's solvers with 4 - 5 minutes where i finish in above half an hour

That doesnt make you slow, it makes them freaks of nature :P
Just because a speedrunner finishes Mario in 4 minutes and 8 seconds and I finish Mario in 5 days doesn't mean I'm slow :P

I don't get how you could have finished it in 7, if you did the previous in 11 O.o

I'm a relatively fast solver, (well not the best but much more than average at least usually, and I did this in 8 minutes). Seems way too unforgiving. The 2nd puzzle that is... 5-6 minutes is an absolute joke imo. Only the very best can do this.

Anyway regardless of that, I think it's too much of a hussle to have to upload screenshot for every single day... :/ If there was an easier way ok, but this seems too much trouble for me to do for a whole month... :(

i don't see an easier way. jigidi leaderboard is only few people, i don't see any more lists of solvers there. if you think of one, please let me know

Yeah, I just hit 11 minutes...it seems this event is only for speedfreaks with better gear than a 20$ mouse :P
I might call it quits before it drives me mad. This puzzle is bigger than day 1, but gets a tighter limit...

i didn't think about being fast as i'm usually slow. will implement voting for base times and images in future, will be better :) still have a lot to do about making website fully operational though for now
