Actually, my last puzzle here! As echoed by quality departed composers such as Serbanqq, we compete to appear on the scoreboard and it is way too much effort when non-contributing members can simply post a ridiculously low score and immediately knock it off forever.
Took me ages - but a lovely puzzle. And very sad to hear it may be your last. I don't quite understand your comment about the scores. At the moment I just enjoy completing the puzzles, and would love to create one day. I comment frequently, and pretty much always mark high (to recognise the skill and effort of the creators....)
So sad to lose your talent but completely understand your feelings about it. It seems to be quite common in life these days that a few thoughtless and selfish people can spoil things for others. Thank you so much for the enjoyment you have brought to us though and all good wishes. Lovely puzzle to end on :)
Only just done this one, took ages and loved it. Rated it top and then saw the comments, which disappointed. Have created some of my own and love creating and testing them (forever) until I get it right. Perhaps a dual rating could be put in easily and with minimal moderator effort - one for registered users and one for non.
Thank you Mystifier, the yet another masterpiece! Again, a great picture together with a challenging puzzle. Happy to see there are no spoilers in the comments here...
