That's incredible Valerie. I don't like it one bit.
#4: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jun 25, 2020
It's a fun name to learn and try to say. (I don't the the nurses are generally too impressed, though)

How do you all feel about opening up the webpbn homepage and seeing a list of puzzles from the same maker? Is it "oh no, Brian is at it again!" or "yah, a whole bunch of new puzzles to solve!"

It does tend to push a lot of other puzzles off the recently published list. They also tend the dominate the active discussion list.

The reason I ask is that I could always publish them more slowly. Even if I do make 10 puzzles over the course of an evening, I could publish one a day for ten days.

Let me know what you think.

I enjoy a spate of fresh puzzles, especially from a known entity. :)
#10: Steve (stevieb) on Jun 26, 2020
Brian I love your puzzles so I don't mind how you publish them :)
#11: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Jun 26, 2020
Kristen, at over 1500 puzzles, I am definitely a known entity. Thanks Steve. I'm not fishing for a compliment, just wondering if you would prefer them spaced out.
#12: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jun 27, 2020
I mean, as opposed to 10 new puzzles by KoolDood1000, or what-have-you.

If you have a series like this I personally prefer to see them in sequence.

If they're random puzzles with no common thread, it doesn't matter to me either way. Publish as you wish at your convenience. Just don't forget to publish them!
#14: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Jun 27, 2020
Andrew. Funny you should mention it. I have 25 unpublished puzzles still hanging out in my list for various reasons. Mostly because of solvability issues.

I just tallied them while determining the difference between my number of actual puzzles published, 1700, and the number given in the user list, 1513. My guess is that the restored puzzles are somehow being missed in that list.

Kristen, is KoolDood1000 your alias? Coolman...KoolDood? Hmmm.
#15: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jun 29, 2020
Nah, I just didn't want to use the name of an actual person who's posted half a dozen questionable puzzles, all at once.
#16: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Jun 30, 2020
Re #14: Hm. If restored puzzles aren't being counted in people's puzzle statistics, I wonder if I should fix it.

Re #8: Brian, I enjoy solving your puzzles, so, as a puzzle solver, seeing a spate of puzzles from you makes me happy.
#17: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jun 30, 2020
Valerie, I checked to see if mine weren't counted and they also aren't. I'm not terribly fussed about it if it requires too much work.
#18: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Jul 1, 2020
I'm with Joe. It is no big deal what the count says. If it is a pain to fix, don't bother. Valerie, I'm sure you have way more important stuff to occupy your time.

Though on the other hand, it should be easier than most of the other things on my To Do list. :)
