NO Introduction & Hidoku (beta)

Oh my goodness, yet another alternate ego! But... why???
Well, it's really as simple as it sounds: I (the original) fell out of love with my blog (the original one). Games, games, games – and my little sheep and lambs (plus all those clever posts I wrote back in the days) just got completely lost in the shuffle.
But I do love playing games – so what to do? Aha!

No worries, I won’t be annoying or bothering anyone for now except the NO community. I’ll also spare you (and myself) a formal introduction – surely, there can’t be any doubt as to who I am. A fake? Well, perhaps Chriddi can confirm that I am Chriddi? ^{And maybe my original self might even vote for this post, just so DUBby has something to hand out?}

Here’s what I’m planning:

• NO-Wördel (a matter of honour!)
• NO-Quördel (of course!)
• NO-Hidoku (on trial...)
• and everything else that makes NO fun!

Right, enough waffling – let’s get this first game started!
And since this community could do with a bit of a reboot, I’d like to summon the players @p… oh wait, newcomer status (mentions won’t go through…)!
@chriddi, over to you!
Ahem… let the games begin!

Hidoku (beta)

Hidoku Rules

Fill in the empty cells to form a chain of consecutive numbers from 1 to the total number of cells.
Each number in the chain must touch the next one horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

NO-Hidoku Rules

Of course, this is a team game – we’re playing together!

• Post your guesses in the comments using the format D2=2 (for example).
• Every correct number earns you DUBby rewards!
• You can suggest up to three numbers in one comment. But beware: if even one is incorrect, you get NO DUBby rewards at all! Better safe than sorry – maybe just stick to one or two numbers?
• You may suggest numbers again when:
  • the referee (me or I or myself) has confirmed or rejected your guesses, and
  • another player has made a guess after you.
• We play until each cell is filled correctly.
  
  
• Pro tip: Print out the Hidoku grid and write in the correct numbers by hand – there won’t be any digital photo service!

Right then — let’s get going!

Have Fun!
