XWord Muggles Forum

Just a friendly reminder from your moderators: explicit discussion of the puzzle solution, the meta mechanism, or even non-meta-related grid entries should not be posted publicly until after the contest deadline. If you have a question about any aspect of the puzzle, please PM someone who has already solved. Thanks!

On shore. It’s been a while.

Quick swim to shore after a late start. I think Isaac is going to be lonely this week.

NOTE ON REPORTING POSTS:

When reporting posts for inappropriate content, please use each posts' reporting feature at top/right rather than PMing a moderator or two. It's the ! icon.

Doing so alerts all moderators so that the issue can be handled soonest.

Doing so also makes it much easier for moderators to correct the issue, since the report brings the tools needed to the correct posts immediately to hand.

PMs regarding multiple posts may seem efficient, logically, but post numbers reported in PMs may be different for moderators, due to pending deletions & edits of posts on the same thread. Even when correctly numbered, it becomes a hunting game for a moderator to find each post.

On a positive note, muggles are fantastic at policing themselves! The number of issues moderators have to correct are few for the traffic this site generates. Of those issues that do need correction, a large majority are borderline.

On shore.

On shore. Maybe the quickest one ever for me, after a few hang ups in the grid.

On shore - nice and quick!

On shore for the first time in weeks.

I think it's time for me to dry off, and dry out.

Onshore. Spent so much time with Isaac, we’re missing him.

On shore. Isaac will be getting a well-deserved slow weekend, whereas today I'll be heading to San Diego's The Whiskey House, which has a Guinness-certified collection of over 4000 whiskeys available for tasting.

Ashore. Only chased 2 rabbits then caught the bear. like 5 minutes. now how to fill the rest of the weekend

Yes, I solved for the first time on a Friday and now unsure what to do with all of this extra time. LOL

Ashore. Been awhile. Still on my solo solving trek. Hope all is well Muggles!

Good Saturday morning muggles

Among the throngs on our crowded shore is our newest muggle KayKay - welcome and great to have more muggles.

Although it happens infrequently, occasionally we have postings which push the envelope of what is acceptable. For all of us, any posting which gives away a path to the meta or even the answer to a clue should be avoided. We have moderators who do a great job on this but if you see a posting that you think crosses the line click the "!" button above the post. That alerts the moderator and gives them the tools they have to address the issue. Most often with this group it is a grey area or just a mistake that is easily addressed or rectified.

So far we have 222 muggles on the shore and an empty bar on the ship. If you missed it, the record number of muggles on the shore is 290 from July 1, 2022. If I missed you in the crowd, send me a PM and I will correct it.

Our list of those on the shore are:

Me too!
I am ashore with a record speed for me!!

Ashore! Now back to the MGWCC...

Safely ashore this week!

Safely ashore in shortest time ever.

Well that was fun! On grandbaby duty so a Topo Chico with lime it is.

Back from a long break. And, not our fastest solve ever, but we are on shore.
