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!

Hallo? Was sehen meine vom griechischen Essen beschwerten Augen(lider)? Ein weiterer alter Ego mit gaaanz viel Tatendrang.

The puzzle is solved – weisser-rabe has successfully filled the final empty cell.
Great to have you on board for the NO-Hidoku debut!
As a thank-you, the generous remaining DUBby pot will be shared equally among all active players... 😎

Das ging ja schnell. Gut, dass ich heute Vormittag schon mitgemacht habe, sonst hätte ich es verpasst... 😀
I am you and you are me - we are one big family!
Ehrensache!
Ouch, I hate mentions! But if I have to: @event-horizon, @henryclive, @moecki, @peppermint24, @the-gorilla and also @soulfuldreamer and @ubongudofot and whoever else I've forgotten - you should breathe new life into the NO community and have to play... 😎

Though not completely. According to my handwritten notes, cell A3 is still unoccupied... 😉
Unfortunately, you are not allowed to fill in this cell, because according to the rules you have to wait for the next player. Well, maybe someone will read this hint... 🫣

I don't know why I feel so detached from Steem these days. Thanks to your creative efforts which reignite my interest and pull me back. Hidoku might be the warmup I need for my scanty activities.

I can certainly answer this question for myself. At the same time, I'm determined not to let all the losers and spoilsports take away what has somehow been a part of my life for a good seven years... 💪
That would be great!
Of course there will be a new edition of the game very soon. I don't know yet whether it will be often: I'm afraid that the game won't be an exciting team effort, but a labour of love if everyone does what Maan does and the suggestions are well prepared so that there can be NO slip-ups... 😉

Doch, ich denke, du hast das Spiel gecheckt. Du hast einfach nur die falschen Zahlen eingesetzt. 12, 13 und 14 sind woanders... 😇
Achso, die Zahlen liegen alle schon fest?
Dachte das Häuschen muss halt passend aufgefüllt werden, damit es am Ende aufgeht. Dann waren das vor mir quasi alles Glücksschüsse. :D
In der nächsten Runde nehme ich erst mal nur eine Zahl. :)

Sehr weise! Wobei diese Strategie für die vorliegende wirklich simple Einstiegsvariante nicht unbedingt nötig ist. Einige Zahlen ergeben sich von ganz alleine. Für die 12 lagen die Chancen bei 50/50...
