This. Are competitions *still* going to be one duty report scoring? Despite the fact that it's been demonstrated that the current system sucks, for all sorts of reasons? Or are they finally going to be fixed?

Duration will be obviously differ between the puzzles but will also differ between competitions. One month you may get a 15 minute Distilling competition whilst the next it may be 30. I don't anticipate many, if any at all, hours long competitions (with the exception of any possible multi-puzzle competitions) so you should plan to be online when the competition starts.
Don't read too much into it, I was just being topical :) As long as I'm posting the competitions familiars will only be awarded to first place. I'm sure that will go for future OMs as well.
That's not a question!
Yep!
You'll have to wait until June to see the next schedule. As these competitions will be ongoing we will get to all the puzzles in the near future.
Ah, good catch! Yeah, the developers are aware of the issue and are looking into it. I'll check in early next week to see if a fix will be ready for before the competition. If not, the competition will go ahead at the same date and time but with a replacement puzzle.
You're quite welcome! I'm hopefully going to make a habit of it :) -Pro |

Sage: The competition 'Familiar Distilling' has ended. Tiner won the 1st category in Distilling! Firsel won the 2nd category in Distilling! Pandaeater won the 3rd category in Distilling! Vnork won the 4th category in Distilling! I'd like to point out that the winner is a first time familiar winner. So we can drop all those comments about the "same old" people winning everything. Congrats Tiner :) Edit: Congrats to Stevensam too! Seriously mate, I don't begrudge multiple winners at all (or I'd have to begrudge myself). I just especially wanted to point out that a really terrific puzzler won her first today on Sage. ---------------------------------------- Montage of Sage
