GL Collaborative Meta-Puzzle II

[Suspence]

Thanks for checking in...

Jack_Ian, I've sent you an email about getting a larger version of the image for your puzzle. Hopefully, you can provide without too much hassle.

Gomez, we've received your puzzle and began working on it. It's been good fun so far.

LK, looking forward to seeing your work.

I really like how this whole thing is shaping up.

Any progress updates from LordKinbote, jbvntx, or gpagano?

We've been slowed down a little the by GLPics issue, and we've been pretty stagnant on the puzzles that are still being solved.

We'll all be busy with Top GLer soon, too.

Sorry sorry sorry. Still working. The puzzle is coming together, it's just image-heavy, and I am finding the time to work at it between when my daughter isn't wailing. I swear, 85% of parenting in these first few months is replacing a pacifier that has fallen out of the mouth.

[LordKinbote]

...still working on it. Sigh.

[Suspence]

No worries, LK. Given that I haven't heard back from jbv or gpagano, I don't think we'll be finishing this off in the very near future.

I think I'm just looking for a new puzzle to come in so we can finally make progress in test-solving. We're rather stuck on the 3 we have yet to solve.

If any of the remaining two words are short, I wouldn't mind making a puzzle. (but it would probably be too easy)

And I am going to take a look and see if I come up with artistic ideas for the completed puzzles. It would be nice to have pictures with puzzles again.

[Suspence]

I won't comment on the word lengths here, but I'll send you a PM, MattV.

I could see artwork going well with a few of the puzzles...Gomez's puzzle immediately comes to me as one that would be cool.

We've solved Elethiomel's second puzzle. We're now in the feedback/editing phase on that puzzle.

Only stuck on two puzzles now

Yep, one more down, as Gomez's puzzle crumbles under Thok's mighty intellect.

I heard from jbvntx, who got a bit snowed under with other stuff. His puzzle is only about halfway complete. I had asked MattV to take a look at jbv's assigned solution to see if anything came to him, but I haven't heard back yet. I told jbv that he should continue to work on it, but I'd let him know if MattV comes back with anything definite.

I made a pretty simplistic puzzle as a fill-in for gpagano's word, just in case. I'm hoping we don't have to use it. We'll see...

I do not want to start Top GL'er while you guys are still working on this.

I know LK and jbv are both signed up for Top GL'er as well as a bunch of people that submitted puzzles. Once you guys are truly finished, we shall begin. I know Monk has been busy working on a few other things as well.

and obviously, for those that did not know about the puzzling competition Top GL'er, please go here

Just curious, how long do you expect Top GLer to take?

[Suspence]

Just heard from gpagano, who is still working on a puzzle as well.

We are currently test solving my fill-in puzzle for his solution, but I'm happy to repurpose mine if gpagano is able to complete his.

I'm really sorry that this process has held up top GLer. MNO, if you want to proceed with Top GLer, please do. We can put our work on hiatus for the time being, or work on it in the free moments during Top GLer, if there are any.

no, trust me, I want it to make sure that everyone has a fair shot at both. Mine can certainly wait.The contest will have ramifications not too dis-similar to the CMP II

Yeah, you said that last time. And the time before. I think it ended up taking about 8 months each time....

Thanks for letting me know...I'll hope that jbv has pressed on with his puzzle. (PM sent to jbvntx)

What have we got left on this?
_________________

[Suspence]

Too much, unfortunately.

What we have left:
1) Complete the edits on Elethiomel's #2 puzzle
2) Complete the edits on Thok's puzzle
3) Complete the edits on Gomez's puzzle
4) Solve and then edit novice's puzzle
5) Solve and then edit Lord Kinbote's puzzle
6) I haven't heard from gpagano recently and I have no puzzle from him. I wrote a replacement which still needs to solved and edited.
7) I haven't heard from jbvntx recently. My PM is still unread. We'll need a puzzle for that word written, solved, and edited.

MNO, I really don't want to delay Top GLer on you any longer. We can come back to this as needed, because at this rate there is still weeks of work remaining.

[novice]

I'm going to forget how to solve my puzzle myself, soon.

[MNOWAX]

Yeah I'm going to start it now, the only one left that is in the process of writing is jbv.

i'm going to make the annoucement to start Aug 20th.
