>Has anyone out there ever won a Plot game and if so how did you do it? I've never won it and from the statistics at <http://www.goodsol.com/stats/games/the_plot.html>, not too many people ever have. It's one of the hardest games to win in Pretty Good Solitaire. It's a nasty game. | |||||

I had never played it before (perhaps one time by random selection), but yesterday evening (after reading the question) I tried and played until 11 pm. Tom, you should change the description in the help menu: "Skill/Luck balanced" is not sooo right, "Mostly luck" would be better.... | |||||

I won it once but after getting a new computer and reinstalling PGS my statistics disappeared. Is there anyway we can save our statistics? I wa so proud of my win and now I can't brag anymore :-) Also, agree about the luck/skill balance. I would say it's 99% luck because of the way the cards are dealt out...like Triangle and some other games. | |||||

One of the things I find myself wanting (and was disappointed that I couldn't find here) was a list of game numbers that are considered winnable. Tom, any way that this information could be extracted automatically when a player downloads his/her statistics to the web? Could the winning game numbers could be extracted and listed somewhere? Just curious. I'm well over 100 games of The Plot, and I'm at the point where I'd like to have a number that I can play and know that it's winnable. Thanks! | |||||

>Tom, any way that this information could be extracted automatically when a player downloads his/her statistics to the web? It would be very difficult, because there would just be a huge amount of data for all the games and it would make the statistics submissions huge. It would be rather impractical to include game numbers in the statistics submissions. The best thing is for someone who has managed to win a game of the The Plot to post a winning game number. On the subject of The Plot, I've just created a new game for the upcoming new version of Pretty Good Solitaire that is like The Plot but easier to win. It's still very hard to win, but at least it gives you a fighting chance sometimes. | |||||

> Tom, any way that this information could be extracted automatically when a player downloads his/her statistics to the web? Well, I'm not Tom, but I can see another difficulty here. I think it was mentioned earlier in this forum that a number of uploaded statistics may have been manipulated before uploading. I know how to do it ever since I had to consolidate data from my old PC and the new one, although I don't do it... (Don't worry, Tom, I won't tell anyone how to do it because it is cheating!) So even if Tom could somehow extract those game numbers we might find games listed as winnable which are not. | |||||

Hi Francis if you are still stuck on The Plot game 1115340800 i have played again and written the moves down so i can send them to anyone who emails me to pondpaul@hotmail.com couple of things to help you you need to get the suit of diamonds done quickly so keep spaces for the diamonds and there is a very troublesome Qs in the top left pile so a space must be filled with the Jack of spades to help you later on when the foundations are available bye Paul | |||||

| paul forsdick (Pondpaul) Advanced Solitaire Player Username: Pondpaul Post Number: 73 Registered: 10-2003 |
hI AGAIN i think it will only work if the is only one card left of the value ie if you have a 9 space empty and have a nine to put into it there must be no other nines that is not on the foundations even if they are hidden also I found that as soon as you get rid of all the cards of a value except one you can put this on its number even if you have some deals still do I must admit it took a lot of goes to get this right and you have probably realised it is difficult to get the Black foundations down very far unless you are careful it was a wonderful feeling when it comes out though hope this makes sense Paul | |||||

Hi! Another winnable game is 2066017024; I have played The Plot 847 times, and won only once! I am trying to get to a 1% win status, but it is very hard :D The other winnables mentioned here might help. I am certainly going to try them out! It is a fun & challenging, but very addictive (!), game. In the latest release of PGS, there is an easier version, called the Family Plot. I am proud to say my win/lose rate there is 50 %.

Richard: I can't get your Plot #501240097 to open. I save it to PGS but it doesn't show up in "open game", in PGS with the Plot open. I can't figure out how to get it into my browser, which is Thunderbird either, as one writer advised. Audrey | |||||
| Richard Mechen (Richardscotland) Master Solitaire Player Username: Richardscotland Post Number: 299 Registered: 9-2006 |
Hi Audrey, This method is SO EASY you could get a lobotomy and still manage it. Left click on the the Plot game three messages above this. Then you will get it to open in a new window. In the address bar for that new window you will see ../18/The_Plot_ 501240097-2471.txt Highlight all of this and click on "copy". STAY ONLINE. Now go back into PGS and open up The Plot. In top left of its screen click where it says "game". In the drop down menu that appears you click on "open game". Your cursor will be flashing in the empty box where it says "file name". Right click in this box and paste the file name into it. Click on "open". If you can't crack this we're gonna have to take you to the vet. It's way past midnight here, so I'm off to bed now to say some prayers for you. With any luck they will have been answered by morning. Was it you who put the Aud in Audrey? Richard. | |||||

Surprised you asked the question "what is an Aud?". Think phonetically. I don't think this will be bridge too far either, but on your keyboard there is a big six sided key.

Hi Frances, I had not yet tried 13 Packs (there are soo many games to choose from :D); it is really hard, I can see that after 10 tries. I think it is mostly luck. I don't know if I will ever get to 2000 tries, like you did. Do you have the number of the game that you won? Maybe not the place to ask here, but as a newly registered player: how do you become a Master, Intermediate and such Solitaire Player? Is it by posting quest results on the web? I have been playing PGS for quite a while now. I did have an older version, one with 300something games.

Hi Maria, We already have an online club and a section where you can ask for assistance in winning particular games. You can even start you own one if you want. You click where it says "Topics" and then where it says "start new thread". I think it would be extremely difficult to improve on this particularly as it's completely free! Re your hot weather, I agree with you. There's a lot to be said for cooler climates. You just wear some more clothes. If it's too hot there's a limit to how much it's possible to take off. We get quite a lot of rain here and I don't mind it in the least. Where in the States are you? Richard. | |||||

Hi Richard--I didn't about the "online club"--I will have to check it out. I live in Arizona--the desert Southwest--it's a blast furnace from April (sometimes late March) until November. And I am with you--you can always get warm but there are limits to what you can do to keep cool---I want to go back to my home base---- | |||||

Hi Maria, THIS is our "online club". It's for members only, and we're all online. If you can't get help here re PGS then I don't know where you'd get better advice. ARIZONA! Now we are talking HOT! That would definately kill me. On the occasions it gets into the high seventies here, I feel very uncomfortable, but conversely when the temperature is down in single figures I'm perfectly at home. Sometimes it falls way below zero but it's not difficult to cope with that either. Sorry, I wouldn't trade with you. Richard, the cool dude. | |||||

Hi Maria, You presence here proves your membership to out "club", but until you learn how to download and open games that others have uploaded you're missing out on a lot. You should ambush some neighbourhood kids and beat them up unless they show you how. Seriously. They're far more genned up than us old wrinklies. You'd love Scotland.It's normally cool and wet, so that everything is lush green. Few places on the planet can have more fresh water than us. There are rivers and lochs (lakes)in abundance. You should quit Arizona and find a more pleasant climate. It's never too late. Richard. | |||||

Hi Richard--thank you for the kind words--at this point, any place anywhere would be more welcome than here--and I know I would love Scotland--that sort of climate appeals to me--of course, I also love snow--I think it's in my genes--my father was born not far from where the Olympics were played last year--in Piemonte, Italy--he used to tell me about snow from October to May--now that I would love!!! Right now, though the East Coast of the USA would be fine for me--it's where I was born and raised--- As to uploading the games to see the winners, I really do like the challenge of the "impossible" games--I like to know if they are indeed "winnable", though. And I tend to leave the neighborhood small fry alone--LOL! Have a good day-- | |||||
| Richard Mechen (Richardscotland) Master Solitaire Player Username: Richardscotland Post Number: 322 Registered: 9-2006 |
Hi Maria, Thanks for the info. Not too sure about the snow though. My partner Liz and I went on a short holiday very recently and passed both of our ski centres en route home. Just a dusting of snow on the very highest peaks. Two days later they were advertising dozens of runs complete. We have too many very steep and narrow roads in many parts of Scotland that become impassable when there is snow. Many of our favourite routes are only a foot or so wider than the car, with passing places every so often. If we could prohibit snow from falling on roads, then I'd appreciate it much more. Re impossible games, I can prove that all but six of them ARE possible, but sometimes it takes thousands of attempts to find a winner for very difficult games like Diavalo. You always get the nagging feeling that many of the numbers that you failed to solve, may actually have been winnable and that perhaps you've thrown in the towel too readily. But that's PGS, and I love it, and I'd be totally lost without it. If it ever stops being FUN then I'll move on. Richard. | |||||
| Ken Blackwell (Blackie9) Master Solitaire Player Username: Blackie9 Post Number: 161 Registered: 8-2003 |

Hi Sir Ken, Nice to know you're still visiting the forum. Perhaps Diavalo wasn't the best example but it was the first one the popped into my mind. If you want a laugh, check out the leader of the online stats for Robert. I've all but given up on British Canister too. It's a farce. Plus I've given myself a holiday from Forwards and Backwards. Thought 30,000 attempts was sufficient punishment. Richard. | |||||

You're gonna have to water down your hooch. Didn't you notice that there are hearts being accepted onto the foundations long before the initial spades are completed? It is also possible to get it to accept a 9D or a 9C with the spades incomplete. It hasn't been a great deal of help as 61 is the best I've done ..... yet! It tends to get a bit confusing and I can't concentrate on getting all my components in place to get much further. Incicentally the glitch seems to depend on you working on the undo button. It won't put an extra nine on if you're going forwards. Why should my 1000th post be anything out of the ordinary? Are you anticipating a mention? | |||||

Hi Mike, If your initial foundation pile is 10C for example, you may have 10H in your deal too. You cannot play a 9H onto the 10H, or even play it onto a JH. Everything else just follows normal rules, with single cards only being moved between piles. Cards from the Reserve can only be played to the foundations. Hope you're back to normal soon. Keep taking the talbest. | |||||

Hi Guys, I can't recall what scores I got with 1991694079 Ken. Nothing of any note anyway. I did shift one of the twos but I believe that the ace for the other one is buried in the reserve. As the UK is having the worst summer imaginable, with endless rain and widespread flooding, my target areas have been restricted. Several places in Perthshire, the Kingdom of Fife, and East Lothian are pencilled in, but we'll be trying to dodge the rain, so it's subject to change. Summer has failed to show up this year. It probably about 10 or 12 degrees outside today. We're going to CraigMILLAR come hell or high water. Got to be some mileage for irritation there, or perhaps not; it's supposed to be quite nice!

Try 513520353. It is glitchable, but may even be winnable without cheating. | |||||

You're right, Ken, that was an easy one. Any others? | |||||

To K2, Did you try Ken's other one just above? 652159040. I had a great time messing with it, and even managed a super-gliche. I backpeddled until most of the first suit went back into the stock and then got TWO additional base cards onto the foundations. It's cheating, I know, but I'm just doing it for a laugh, and I've stopped posing my scores anyway. | |||||

247262385 looks winnable guys, but I've just run through it once. | |||||

Richard, it certainly looked promising, but the K of Diamonds is on top of the 5 of Diamonds in the reserve, and since diamonds is the suit you need to complete before even being be able to access the reserve, it ain't happening. On an unrelated note, it's been a couple of weeks, Richard, aren't you and Liz due for a holiday? | |||||

Sorry re that game number. I'll keep looking. Yes it's been simply AGES since we were on holiday. Ta for the reminder. Liz has more booked for late November.Mother is still in the hospital though. They're not going to discharge her until they've put some handrails and other nonsense up in her house. Said this would be asap but could be 2-3 weeks yet. Wouldn't care if any of their lame ideas would have prevented her accident in the first place. Beaurocratic nonsense. I fell out with them yesterday, and I'm loaded for bear today too. | |||||

314831745 and 59178117 appear to have potential in The Plot. Haven't got much time to spend on them to find out for sure. Good luck. | |||||

Richard, you need to vet your #'s a little better. The first # it took some manuevering to realize that the 7 of diamonds was buried in the reserve irretrievable, but the second #, if you had gone the deal even once, you would have realized that the highest score attainable is a whopping 2! | |||||

Sorry Ken, I must have given you the wrong number because I certainly had reasonable scores with both the numbers I meant to post. I've cleared my stats so I've no way of checking. |
