    Is anyone else as hopelessly addicted to this game as I am?

    Seriously, I play it so much that when I'm trying to sleep, my mind starts thinking about cards and where they'd go and all kinds of junk. Today is a milestone day though, here's my statistics...

    Wins: 2000 :eek:
    Losses: 602

    Win Percentage: 77 %

    Streaks:

    Wins: 30 wins
    Losses: 7

    Currently on a 9 game streak. (By the way, I got my computer last June, so these are basically 1 year stats)

    So come on, I can't be the only one who plays this game! Somebody else show me their statistics.

    that's somewhere in the neighborhood of 7500 more posts solely containing "lolol I agree" I could have I guess. Hooray for downtime.

    I used to be addicted but not anymore. It was weird -- when my wife and I collaborated, we'd always win. But, playing by ourselves, half the time we'd lose patience and do something stupid.

    My wife and I used to play the same game in a race to the finish... I'm better at crossword puzzles!

    I used to be addicted, and then I got XP with spider solitaire, and I forgot all about freecell.

    I have a 25% win rate on the most difficult level of spider.

    This game is without a doubt the most insidious addiction since crack. My win rate on the hardest level is like 9% (although its around 75% on the medium level). If you ever wanted to get an otherwise perfect co-worker fired, just introduce him to this game and his productivity will plummet.

    i played freecell constantly for days on end until I even realized that there was a stat tracker.


    I would give up or start over alot of games and I was at something around 33%. my friend and I made it a goal to be a .500 team, so for about four months we worked on our game. we had to get at least a thousand wins to catch up with our losses, but we finally did it.


    our current numbers:
    Wins: 1600
    Losses: 1502

    Win Percentage: 52 %

    Streaks:

    Wins: 24
    Losses: 49 :eek:

    if you start a game over and win it, it does not count as a win.


    so if you get frustrated, move on to a new game because solving one that you already lost does nothing for your numbers




    now what are your fastest minesweeper times?

    mine are 8 seconds on beginner,
    46 seconds on intermediate,
    and 125 seconds on expert

    Well.. call me a cheater, but if you press alt-ctrl-del and stop the program then it won't record a loss! :D

    Just to show off to my mom, my dad won like 250 games with 0 losses.... her mouth dropped.

    win: 2006
    loss: 740
    percentage: 73%

    win streak: 47
    loss streak: 6


    Is this bad? I mean I just play it and listen to music. I do it to relax if that's what u wanna call it.

    So I was bored tonight, being the loser I am, I decided to play FreeCell to pass the time...

    It was just win after win after win...

    I played FreeCell the way it was meant to be played, as if I were endowed with the godly powers that were the very essence of FreeCell itself. Everytime I thought I was finished, I came back and won ever so slightly...

    Tonight I was the most powerful FreeCell being on the planet as I went on the longest streak I had ever gone on...

    But alas, fatigue got to me, and eventually I made stupid errors which caused my amazing win streak to end at 64, which I got all in one sitting...

    Ho hum. You know, there were probably more productive things I could've been doing rather than play FreeCell for three hours straight....:cool:
