Anyone seen RevoMaster?

I've e-mailed Chris, I've PM'd him. I've asked for entry to a private group, and I've registered and open puzzle. I haven't heard from him or seen any website updates for a while.

I don't mean to be a bother, I love these mazes, just wondering about website updates.

I'd like to buy the Silver, but I can't find any place to buy it for under $170US(with shipping).

I'm kinda rambling, sorry about that. Anyone have any information?

I've been wondering the same thing. Have sent emails for opening the bronze (a week ago) and green (2 days ago) with no updates to opening order. (Site shows 3 spots pen for the bronze comp) Also still waiting for the reassembly instructions. I'm guessing he is busy with getting the silver out or maybe took a holiday. Respectfully waiting but not ordering silver till someone surfaces.

The Bronze US competition has to be closed by now. The bronze forum was a little quiet over the holidays but a couple of people, including me have finished it and the web site just needs to be updated.

Yeah, I had a sad moment after I opened my green and the website was updated a week later that filled the competition slots (I'm still not even in the "standby" list or opening list for that matter). It's kind of annoying to buy a puzzle with plenty of spots left, only to register the opening still with plenty of spots left and have all the spots fill up at once. It would be a little nicer to have the site update as the puzzles were opened.


Chris,
I know perl, PHP, etc. I could program you up a neat registration program in a few hours, it could update the website automatically. Maybe in exchange for a silver and gold puzzle?

Yeah I'm afraid that will happen to me too. When I started the bronze there were only three spots and I'm hoping I filled one of them, but I'll have to wait and see.

I was looking at the silver board and that's out of date too. There is a picture of an open silver on the forum and that was back in the beginning of December of last year. Oh well I wonder if I would have ordered/finished my bronze so quickly if I knew there wasn't a spot available.

I still believe that there will be slots opening up when people start to realilze that they can't make it to the "live event"

I second adamwest on his comment. For me, if I can go will be determined entirely by its date and whether it is in the middle of (a) my bar exam, (b) a conference, or (c) a hearing. *sigh* And odds are, it will probably be in the middle of at least one of those.

I'd like to agree with you all, but here's the problem. I have three places to buy the silver, thinkgeek ($140US), puzzlemaster.ca ($180US), and directly from chris ($170US). All those prices assume 2-5 days shipping. Thinkgeek won't have the silver in stock until 28 Feb. I don't really want to pay $30 more for the puzzle, but if I *know* there are still spots left I might consider it. I also don't know if the 2 day shipping from Chris is really two days. I'd really be steamed to find out that I paid an extra $30 only to wait 28 days like the website suggests.

Until the website gets updated, or I hear from Chris, I think I'm going to wait until 28 Feb to buy my silver. All of this is disappointing because I love these puzzles.
