Happy New Year!

Unlike last year, I don’t have any puzzle planned. I’m constructing an LMI test for April or May, and considering that I just finished my first semester of university a week or so ago, I’ve been taking the holiday for my usual computer stuff: programming, browsing the net, playing some games…

So what have I done in 2013?

Puzzle 70: Greater Than Fillomino

Puzzle 70: Mii~ >w<
Greater Than Fillomino
(Here for plain version)

So, as a “natural” follow-up of my current interest on roleplaying, this is obligatory. All givens form either the emoticon ^^ or <3. I wanted to include =3 (equals sign and 3, effectively two horizontally adjacent 3’s) but if I can use only two emoticons why not. I didn’t want to figure out what happens with only one emoticon though, this by itself is already difficult to construct…

Hard, yeah. Because a few parts are hard. But if I’d use the average, this would be somewhere around medium, because the easy parts are easy. And the puzzle breaks down nicely into parts. *insert obligatory reference to vore*

So! This puzzle is a gift for an RP friend that is curious about puzzles. He solved Puzzle 1, a puzzle I believe to be “final test to see whether you advance from beginner to intermediate Fillomino solver”. Even though he clocked 2 hours, this is a fabulous achievement for someone with no prior experience of logic puzzles. And so I felt really guilty when testsolving the puzzle; I found the puzzle to have the mentioned hard steps. There are even parts where my best method is still trial and error to some extent (read: “what-if”s), but hey. Who cares about time. Let’s see whether the aforementioned RP friend can solve this :3

And finally, yeah. Mii~ >w<

Roleplay

I have more this week (last Wednesday until now) than I ever have before last Wednesday, counting in any sensible measure (I use time spent for doing RP even though it’s a bit ambiguous).

Turns out that…

– Yes, I’m definitely a furry. :3

– I have a major interest in soft transformations: transformations to softness. So far I’ve found plush and fluff. :3 I wouldn’t say that this “major interest” is a “fetish” because it has sexual connotation (interests so much to cause sexual arousal), but I just really like it. Is there a word for that?

– I start writing the following emoticons much more often! (Space-separated) :3 x3 xD ^_^ ^w^ >_< >w< ~
(Ok that last one wasn’t an emoticon~)

– I (or at least Sky; pretend that Sky is writing this post) don’t mind sacrificing myself for happiness of friends…

Sky to a RP friend: You know, you’re too cute to be a disease x3 I think I don’t mind being infected […] if that means being like you, even if it costs my mind then.

…err, yeah.

– 80% of my roleplay moments are spent among three people in private chats to each. Among these, 30% is for a person that I only started roleplaying with since 2 days ago. x3

– I’m mostly passive, and can be extremely so. You know if you’re going to be attacked by a large snake? Sky stands still, just waiting for whatever that will happen. x3

– I enjoy listening to short stories being narrated “live”. This includes listening to a backstory of a complicated character (or probably complicated backstory to a character), and also watching a story being performed live (that snake one above is one of these).

– I’m not good at writing blog posts like this. :/
