Topic, Game "BLockoban"

  It can happen that some levels need tiny touchups or fixes. Oftentimes it is not worth asking the levelcreator to do it, but doing it 21 times is quite a lot. And having them all be updated twice is very suspicious indeed.

Honestly I am just incredibly disappointed above all. This is not behaviour that an admin should exhibit, I'll see what I can do.

  I looked at the logs on the last levels created by Suhangha and Suhangha-2. I found 21 levels that Chris updated twice and still has a score, not only 3. Indeed, there could be more.

Block Travel 8.8 (BLockoban)
Block Travel 8.M (BLockoban)
Block Travel 8.9 (BLockoban)
Block Travel 9.6 (BLockoban)
Block Travel 9.7 (BLockoban)
108 Dozenal Hexign (BLockoban)
107 Royal Sinkhole (BLockoban)
Block Travel 8.7 (BLockoban)
Block Travel 9.5 (BLockoban)
Block Travel 8.2 (BLockoban)
123 Swamp (BLockoban)
Four Spot (BLockoban)
Three Red (BLockoban)
Get into it (BLockoban)
118 Surfing BL (BLockoban)
116 Arcade BL (BLockoban)
115 Royal BL (BLockoban)
114 Technology BL (BLockoban)
113 Golden BL (BLockoban)
112 Icefield BL (BLockoban)
110 Compass BL (BLockoban)

On level 112 Icefield BL (BLockoban), he has scored 12, I’m pretty sure that score is impossible.
Level Block Travel 9.6 (BLockoban) is probably not possible. In addition, this is a variant of a much easier level ElecTricky GreenLife (BLockoban) that Chris is unable to solve (see his comment on the level).

Can we still trust an admin who is not able to keep his promises and respect the rules, considering that this is at least the fourth time?
What do you think of that?

  I'll be honest, I've not really been keeping a close eye on this game's message board so I have not noticed the influx of activity. Well, not that things have become much more active but I digress.


I haven't really have had the time yet to read through all the messages, because I was only made aware of this shortly before I had to go to bed. But don't worry, I will read through the rest of these and see what I can do afterwards. Still haven't had the time to read through all of these because I had to get ready for work.

I have to say it's a bit nice but peculiar that so many people are still finding this website after all this time, perhaps someone started advertising it somewhere?

Quoting murat0 from Game "BLockoban"

That is very sad to hear, but I'm glad things got better.
Where do you live? It's not often we have someone on BL get hit by a typhoon.

  Well I think nelson, you, Puzzlefan, and GIS/Elizea need to keep an eye on him. He seems to do it on the medium/hard levels that he can't complete/solve.

  chris-self's promise is violated
Additional opportunities are rare

  Suhangha is right, I checked the logs too and he did cheat on three, BT 8.8, BT 8.9, nd BT 9.6

BT stands for Block Travel. Chris I thought you said you weren't gonna do this anymore, you're just asking for trouble. Do you want your administrator duties to be revoked? Maybe GIS should PM you another warning message.

  YES!!! You are right suhangha he is lying again and again!

He has to be STOPPED IMMEDIATELY AND has to be BANNED From Admin Rights!

But the MOST WORST he has done: Chris THE S ABUSED oldmtnguy!

All was written by oldmtnguy72 as alleged former friend of OMG are lies and forgeries!!!

OMG did not die in 2021 and not from cancer! (I know cause i had pen friendship with OMG since 2013.)

Now really GOOD NEWS:

there is a perfect member who is honest + competent + wise + the BEST:

++++++ Interested to do the Admin-Job!

Let's IMMEDIATELY Install as OUR REAL new Admin: NELSON (nelson90).

--------------

All the accounts: john96, PuzzleFan, murat0 are Chris! This dumb thought we wouldn't recognize the cheating logs with all this news creating levels boring, stupid, unchallenging like the bum himself! All their levels, level titles, choosen category, level comments and even main board comments are totally Chris-style! He came up with this idiotical idea after I warned him 1,5 month ago: "STOP IMMEDIATELY with touching any old accepted level!" Then he had cheated on ca. 40 levels not 15-20 as he said.
1 month ago he promised third time not to edit anymore old levels but he is doing it all the time again and again!

  update logs found around 8.m

You broke your promise not to cheat

  I miss coolguy's levels, I sent him sometime ago


he has no answer anymore, screwed up
he's still in jellify

  Hello! I am one of oldmtnguy's longtime friends. I want to explain why ooldmtnguy has been inactive for almost 5 years. He built a brand new house in 2018, we hired several construction workers to help him, it was finished in 2019, then he came down with cancer in late 2020, he passed away in 2021. You can ask lmr too when she comes back, she was longtime friends with oldmtnguy and knew his wife too.

I hope everyone and their families had a safe, enjoyable, and blessed thanksgiving 2022. I chose this username to represent his age, he would have turned 73 next year, I will be making levels which follows oldmtnguy's designing skills, he told me I could continue designing levels from his work b/c he said he was real sick. This is sad b/c we lost a very legendary admin and member. RIP oldmtnguy

Thank you all for whoever reads this.
My name is Ben. I am 54 but I had to use oldmtnguy's age to remember him in my user profile.

  Hey I marked several of suhangha's levels to be edited since no one has scored on them for a week or more. I can't comment on them b/c the database won't let me, I'll PM him and see if he can edit them and to post a score so they will be proven possible for you all to solve and enjoy. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Chris

  Hey, nelson, Simon, CG and patio, I re-accepted some of suhangha's levels, no-one has scored on them yet. Can you guys try to solve them so I can re-accept them, they've been pink for 2-3 weeks now. I'm really shocked that many people don't use Pale moon, I've been using it 2 years.

  You’re right, Chris, a reminder is always helpful.
Here you will find the installation instructions for Pale Moon and Flash Player:
Adobe Flash forum

  Who knows, maybe some old BB pros and amateurs will come here again once they find the work-around for flash. Pale Moon is the latest best site to download anywhere on the globe. Maybe you should post the link again nelson so everyone that re-visits can know how to download it on their computer/PC.

  Hello Murat, welcome back! I am very happy that you have returned to our small community, we missed you and your hard/insane levels :) I hope everything is going well for you now.

About your previous account, have you tried to click on "I forgot my password"? As with other sites, there should be an option to unlock your account.

  Thank you for the kind words and greetings! No one else noticed my return? And what happened to TM, oldmanrob, and PA. They vanished years ago, I guess TM got slammed with work,family and heavy responsibilties.

  Hey, welcome back, we were all worried about you, glad you came through, that's an amazing blessing! It has been rough due to the pandemic, next March will be three years since it originally started.

  Greetings Blockoban community! It is I murat once again returning. I had to get an interpreter to help me understand English so it takes me a long time to write messages like this and construct them. I have been inactive for 4 years because my house got damaged by a huge typhoon so we have been living in a shelter with no internet access, however a blessing came to me and my wife/children, a couple months ago, our aunts/uncles gave us 50,000 pounds to help us buy a new home, and a computer/supplies, etc. We finally finished moving everything from the destroyed house to our new one, so I am back home.

And for people wondering back then why I titled my levels M.Y. on my previous account back then was because I ran out of level names, so I used my Initials and the number of levels I had beside it. But now thanks to the help of my long-time interpreter I have learned/studied more advanced words and their terminology so I have found more titles! I have misplaced my password to my other account so I will have to use this one for now, but I am glad to be back. I am using Pale moon, just found about it thanks to nelson's post. I had to search extensively for it last night!

  reset scores please 105 to 118 you illegally scored

  Great job john on the award, you should feel good about yourself, wish me luck guys, I'm gonna start working on my 2nd level this week.

  this pack in 140 levels so far as yet
CLASS PACK (BLockoban)
more levels should comes although not sure end stage number

  Yes, I solved 500 levels and achieved the award, now my next goals are the Archery award and the 5000-mile one. That will take time but I can do it! I have to think positive and envision it.

  If john96 as well as PuzzleFan have email, let me know

  Well let's all just forget about it and get back to puzzle solving and designing all the levels we can. The point of the game is to also have fun and not worry about solving every single level.

  Well I made a new recent pack for you all to play, I can't comment on it as the database won't allow me to. I'm halfway finished with it but I wanted you to take a sneak peek and try it, see where you stand in ranking. I have been flustered and stuck/clueless for many years on these, I'm tired of seeing them in my unplayed tab.

Well any help/tips, hints, anything would help, if you have any extensive info, PM me or e-mail me. Do not show me videos on how to solve it completely because that would spoil the fun of the level and be boring for me,so just give me hints on how to get started/constructing the blocks, etc.

I will never abandon BL and I will stay as admin for as long as I'm able too, I'm pulling my weight and making creations a lot so I need help from you all. It's a teamwork effort, we have to keep BL alive!

  yes replace 1block is better

  I talked to Chris about this, he told me he changed levels back to how they originally were (because he had edited them in the past to make them easier for him). In a way it's him trying to make things right again. It's quite a messy way of doing it and he should have made his intentions clear, but what is done is done.
I feel like this entire ordeal has been a mess, but I also think that with an active playerbase of like 8 people it's not really worth getting worked up about this.

Besides, when Chris was appointed admin for Blockoban, nobody else wanted to or had the amount of playing experience that Chris had. As coolguy has said, this fact hasn't changed that much.

  Would have been better just to change one yellow to red so there aren't any dummies...

  Ok, I fixed "Mini Fire Ball" by adding two red blocks and I tested it, it's possible so try it now.

  I mean honestly - I don't know if there would be anyone able/willing to administrate as when Chris was added 3 years ago he was the best choice, and unfortunately - if anything has changed - fewer players play this now and so there are fewer choices.

I am not an authority in this game - and I think you should speak to GIS or Elizea about it. My opinion would be to promote somebody else who I trusted as a balance, but as far as I am aware, the site admins want to limit the people who can alter levels as much as possible - even stopping people being trusted to limit it as much as possible (to prevent this type of thing I'd guess).

I am unsure whether you can be trusted again - it's not easy considering this is the third time. I would possibly be willing to trust you again but so long as you were sincere and never edited another old level again - though I'm conflicted as again this isn't the first or even second time.

But again, this is something you will have to speak to GIS or Elizea about this.
