Yeah, I'd LOVE to see Clammy and JDog come back. I didn't realise JDog's game was the same one lol.

You'll get an MMC under your belt someday Flob, you just hve to "want" it enough!

Naaah - my designing days were long long ago... there is such a wide variety of good designs out there now I'd just be re-inventing the wheel.

Meister!  Time for you to get off the sidelines and break your MMC cherry!  C'mon man!!!

No can do just yet, Flobby, I'm having "fun" screaming and shouting at how cruel Geo Wars 2 is. I swear, I come so close to all my scores in every single mode, it's not funny anymore. I KNOW I could break the Top 10 in nearly every single one, it's just not happening. Maybe the Geo Wars Gods are punishing me for my blatant disregard of their previous outing?

I'm gonna get back into another game I used to be fond of next week, that should be interesting!

Good Lord!! There's a lot of activity going on in here!

Congrats Flobber, bout damn time you do another MMC. With one MMC you're only 25b points away from your old score...that's crazy. You're right, SFMMCs have come along way since Jdog's 18 billion. So I'm hoping you don't give up and keep on pushing. At this rate, you should be able to reach your trillion point goal by the time your 60!

EVOL, good luck with the 1.4 trillion design. If you manage to pull it off, I think you will be the only person to have ever done it. I never did it myself because I designed it around the time I started to lose interest in Hexic again (it's like a cycle, I'll get back into it here soon). Mike's right though, the design could potentialy fail because of the odd shaped pearl cluster, but I have tested that cluster before and I can say that it will eventually work. So keep trying!

Jdog, glad to see you're still creepin' along with your game. It's only taken you 2 years to get your current score. So about one more year and you'll hit a trillion I'm interested in seeing if you (or for that matter, anyone) can pump out some new designs. The ones we've developed are getting kinda old, don't you think? So, if I give it a good shot, I'd like to see some more activity in the MMC designs thread. There's got to be something else to be found!

As far as my Hexic score goes...well it doesn't go at all. I had about a 120b game going, but me and my buddy were, uh... lets just say "feelin' good" and he deleted it as a watched him in complete laughter. Sure it was hilarious then, but now I'm just pissed I have to start the crap over again. I will soon though, all this activity is exciting me. I still have a goal of 5,555,555,555,555. That's what I've set my game up for everytime I've started over lately. I don't know how long it would take me to reach it, but it would definetely be awesome.

In the mean time, here's a 2.2 quadrillion design I stumbled up on my bookmarks if anyone's interested Just kidding people!

I LOVE the 2.2 quadrillion!! That's the next one I'm gonna try! Bomb defense may be a little tricky and there may be one or two spots that have a small chance to fail, but over all it looks pretty reliable!!

I've failed to build the right half of the 1.4 the only time I tried building it. Between the sheer size of the design and having 4 black pearls taking up spots, the bomb defense is a bear! I'll keep at it though!

I have some MMC ideas. I think the ones that are "proven," are pretty much all discovered. The ones I have are less reliable, but if they worked, the reward would be huge! The problem I have, is that I dont know how to post the board builder with a design on it.

If someone could help me out with that, I would be more than happy to share some of my ideas!

Best of luck on the 5,555,555,555,555! I know how bad it sucks to have to start all over!

Yeah, there's a glitch with the board builder. If the character string has undefined in it then it will mess up. If you want to share your designs then you need to use this link to start building instead of the main site adress. Once you've got it ready, hit COPY URL in the top left. This will copy the address of you design to your clipboard. Now you can paste the link wherever you want and it will link to your design. Hope that helps, I'd love to see some of your designs. Make sure you post them in the MMC Ideas thread so we can keep track of everything.

I'd like to see some new designs as well.

I've been playing alot of timed games recently, and finally made a 56 billion MMC in it but then forgot I was playing against the clock and lost after rebuilding. Got me to 6th place on the boards though.

I came up with a nice 75 recently but it was a bad url so I couldn't get back to it. I love designing and hope to pull some stuff out of the bag in the near future. i'm working on an even easier 75 Billion, which is prooving really hard to design, but I know its in there!

Also, what is the record for the biggest no bomb mmc? As i'd like to get an 18 Bill no bomber in my scrapbook!

Dog out...

Oh, good to have you back epe and beer!

Jdog, I was actually able to salvage that 75 you made. It came to my email inbox before you edited the post and then I fixed the URL. Here it is. Unfortunately, the single piece column is going to mess up quite a lot. That can be seen in a design I did a while back. God I wish that single piece would have worked, because then I'd be doing this bad boy all day long.

As far as biggest NBMMC, I have no clue. I tried once to make an 18m one, and failed miserably. The start clusters didn't work like I had hoped. I don't think that SFNBMMCs are possible. (LOL @ that acronym)

JDog: it's one of those!

epezent: NICE target score, I certainly hope you can achieve it!

EVOL: Keep on plugging away at it, hope to see you at the top of the leaderboards soon.

Beer Knuckles: Congrats on the new rank!

I remember that "bad boy" design! I think I designed it??? Oh and another reason my design wouldn't work, 35x4...lol.

Shame the No-bomb designs didn't work with Stars, Atleast I can do a few experiments :D

Oh epe, does anyone else know that the staple 75 Billion design is a reversed version of one of my much earlier "easier...lol" 36 Bill MMCs? I remember we were laughing about that for a while...

Meister, good luck with BBR!

I think that is your design, because I remember it from the MMC Ideas thread. All I did here though is reverse the right side of your newest 75. And yeah, I forgot about the 36/75 switcheroo. That's why in the guide I say "look at designs from all angles for new ideas." Actually, if you just shift the 75 either way, you'll end up with your 36 as well.

lol yeah. Good times!

So when are you starting your game epe?

Who knows when I'll start a new game. I've been a video game dry spell lately; I really haven't played at all for the past 4-5 months. I'm just now getting back into them with summer here. And now that I've seen the Microsoft E3 Conference and seeing all these new games (Crackdown 2, Splinter Cell, L4D2, Halo:ODST, Halo:Reach, Alan Wake, MGS:R, FORZA 3!) I hope I have a little time in the future to play Hexic!

Here's a nice 56 Billion MMC .Pretty sure it would work.

It is a nice design but i think you will get a 35x4 in the 5th column. that was the same issue with the 112 attempt (looking back the 35x4 was in the middle not the right but I think it will still cause a 35x4 in your design) . But if some how it does work then you might want to do it like this for another 9-10 billion. (or maybe like this making the 5th column only 3 high and still being 55ish)

Wrong thread nubs! And both of those are too much work for me, so you fail.

My Hexic HD Videos

Yeah  I know wrong thread but i would of felt dumb replying to a post in a different thread. They are actually very easy to do with plenty of space but not sure if they will work. I was going through some of my offline accounts and saw that i had jammy's 734b all setup and ready to trigger i just forgot about it so i guess i will record that real quick and post it.

Damn Jammy 734b design only gave me around 2 billion. Update on game progress: Almost half way to my target score of one trillion with 420 billion in time mode.

Reading Hexathon gave me a nice walk down memory lane... 
It was great fun with all the competitions :)

Anyone remember Tour de Arcade? :)
Thank you all for great memories and a lot of fun when participating!

Update:  Pulled off the 75 again tonight - first time using epezent's triggering technique - you get a standing ovation for that move epezent!!!  And the design of the 75 is excellent as well - relatively challenging bomb defense (I've had to dismantle the MMC both times now to ensure full bomb defense a couple of times due to no more multipliers on the board - but so far it's worked out for me..

Anyway - 2 MMC's down - current score @ 150 Billion (if I get to where I'm gonna lose the game I will shut off the 360 to preserve my "Matrix" score) - but yeah, as of now I have passed my high.  And what, it only took me 2-3 weeks?  Told you this was gonna take a long time!

Good job Flobber! I do like your Matrix score! It's a shame that you can't hold on to a higher score, but who knows, maybe you can get to 10,101,010,101,010 for first on the boards AND to preserve your awesome looking score!

Like I said in my other thread, I dropped Epezent's 64b, but I couldn't keep my bomb defense up to start working on my second MMC. So that did beat my previous high score, and for the time being, put me at 34th on the leaderboard! Exciting stuff!

Good Job Flobber and Evol. Not trying to one up you guys but I just pulled off the 74b again today in time mode, bring my score to 733 billion and one multi away from another 74b. Just wish me luck in that I do not *** up rebuilding my grid at 807 billion, even if that does happen at least I closed the gap between asetta and everyone else.

Congrats on the new high Evol! And holy c r a p PrisonMike, that is incredible!  Continued good luck with your game.

Thanks everyone, and good job PxM!

I gave timed another try a while back and THAT is a B****! Good luck!

Nice job guys! Seems as though everyone's making some progress. Flobber, I'm glad you like that trigger technique so much. Truth is, I've never really even use it that much myself. The idea just popped in my head one day and I figured I'd make a video to show it.

880 Billion and counting in time mode, and also did this for fun.
