Alchemy
« on: March 01, 2007, 07:15:04 PM »

At work when the internets are slow I like to play this game that Detta got me hooked on.  Well, I start at level 7 and today I haven't been able to get past level 7 and I've played about a dozen games.  I think it's becoming sentient and fucking with me.

OK I finally made it to level 8 today.  But usually I can make it to level 9 or 10 at least once a day.

I made it to level 11 twice and level 10 about a dozen or so times.  Really hard.

Do you have a system?

I divide the board into 6 sections and burn the boundry lines to seclude them.  Each section with a different color.  I try to burn lines when I can.

I tried 9 sections, it's really hard to do that.

I'm more intuitive and flexible.  I found that if I try to stick to patterns too much that the bastard randomizer won't give me that color anymore.  I try to go with the probabilities and try to leave at least a couple openings.

Nobody ever told you ten is the last level?

After that you leave the organization and reappear elsewhere with different affiliations.

I didn't get very far.  I only saw one new shape.  It was a semi-circle with an arrow.  Level 11 had a bunch of new stuff.  White!!  And lightning bolts!!

Feh, I've made it to level 11 about a half dozen times this past week with one being only one square away.  But 12 still eludes me.  Damn you Detta.
