Any plans to continue sending CLz via the mailing list?
None except XKE, Vesuvius and Zipper have been sent since the end of 2016. To a person that is inactive on our forum it would almost look like the community support for the game ended at that moment.

To a person that is inactive on our forum it would almost look like the community support for the game ended at that moment. I ceased sending out Battlez because there were not enough Gruntzerz interested in playing them ... against the computer, anyway. My request for Gruntzerz who were interested in Battlez to request for me to add them to a Battlez address book group resulted in far too few people to set up such a list. Almost all of those on the Gruntz Fanz who took the time to comment requested that I not send them any Battlesz.
With this year's success rate for on-line multi-player Battlez play, perhaps more than 4 people will request such a grouping.
So I suppose the next step is to send an email to all of the current Gruntz Fanz requesting a reply if they want to be included in a Battlez distribution group.

I'm not talking about Battlez here. As I mentioned, nothing except XKE, Vesuvius and Zipper has been sent to anyone for 2 years, and that is as much as 32 Questz (11 if you don't count Wedrikul's mini level series).

It seems my email filter difficulties worked both ways! I did attempt to distribute Wedrikul's CLz and others, and never received "unable to deliver" messages, so assumed that all went well. So I need to investigate which of those 11 + Wedrikul's need to be distributed.

I just remembered the real reason for the failure to distribute Custom Level Questz: in mid to late September, 2017 my computer died. Took it to the local tech shop and had it resurrected ... without any of my personal files. In November, 2017 it died again ... no resurrection possible. Obtained a new computer (the one I am now using) and spent several days reacquiring software (and licenses) for what was lost with the old computer. Several replacements were missed; for example, I have none of Wedrikul's CLz on my hard drive ... yet. I will download them from the Forum's web host, where I presume they exist, since Tomalla's web crawler did not find any broken links to them as part of the GLEM project. Somehow, I would think that at least one of them would have been mentioned as an example (of small maps, if for no other reason). Next step for me after posting this, is to check for the presence of CLz (both Questz and Battlez) not on my current hard drive.

Wedrikul's CLz recovered and sent to the Gruntz Fanz. Two "failure to deliver", so 2 fewer entries in the address book. I forgot to mention that a visit to this Forum is desired, but perhaps just the email with all of the attachments will accomplish a bit of that.

I only received 20 files while Wedrikul released 21 levels. I think Thunderstorm is the missing one.

I only received 20 files while Wedrikul released 21 levels. I think Thunderstorm is the missing one. I realized that when I reviewed his index listing. More difficult is to find the other 11 you mentioned. My hard drive "Date Modified" is no help, since most files are dated when I purchased this computer and a few days afterward. So I will have to go through the web site and refer back to my hard drive to see if I am missing a CL. But my wife has a doctor's appointment, and I can do nothing until we return home ... just checking email and posts will carry me until time to leave.

Everything in the 2017 Index and 2018 Index except XKE, Vesuvius, Zipper (I have emails with them) and 20 of Wedrikul's maps that were sent yesterday. That is 12 Questz.

I have recovered all of the WWDs lost when my previous computer died, so am capable of including attachments in emails once again. I am back to Forum maintenance and have printed out both lists, will check off the ones already sent and the Battlez (which I will not send to everyone) and send out the rest after my dinnertime. Going over the lists, we are in agreement about how many Questz still need to be distributed.
P.S. 'flu' (influenza) shots may aid in preventing that disease, but humanity still hasn't found the cure for "the common cold" ... which I have had for six days (so far). Treat a cold with chicken soup, plenty of rest, etc. and you will be rid of it in 2 weeks; do nothing, and it will hang around for 14 days.

The third "failure to deliver" email came back this evening. Yourin could not be reached. So after updating the Gruntz Fanz list by deleting another entry, I will send out the last 12 CLz.
Edit: at around 7:35PM Pacific Daylight Savings Time, I sent out the last 12 CLz.

I already received a reply from Gaby saying "Thank You" ... so at least one Gruntzer is still active and interested in the game, even with the severe slowdown in submissions (new CL designs).
Perhaps others may drop in for clues in how to solve these new (delayed, but new) puzzlez. We can only hope.

That is really nice WalkingBear is still hanging with us. Too bad she's not active on the forum itself.
