I agree with Pickle on the issue of "he who plays the most wins". Xuzz, I'm not sure where you came up with the idea that Mike has played the least of anybody. You can believe that if you want, but I don't buy it. Mike is the best because he has dedicated more of his life to BoD than anyone else. Well, there is the advantage of it being colder in Canada... (see the Cheater's Tip in my April 15, 2008 post: find.php?fp=cheater )
There is definitely a learning curve for each level and some players can climb the curve faster than others. I will argue that if someone has a record time with very few tries, it was luck. All of the top players will tell you that you must invest tries to learn the level well enough to compete for a medal. Plus, the more tries you have, the greater the chances are that you will put together a beautiful run that includes all of the tricks required for a fast time.

Since Pickle's "stratagie" has been working out so well, and since he has been more than open and honest with us about it, I have decided to develop a new strategy that I’m certain will put me back in the “driver’s seat” of the Pickle-mobile:
I plan to beat each and every level faster than him in reverse random alpha-numerical order, beginning with a level decided by casting lots. Within each level pack, I will beat 4 odd-numbered levels, followed by 3 even-numbered levels, and so on until all levels in the pack are faster. This odd-even combination only goes into effect if the level pack has an even number of levels. For level packs with an odd number of levels, I will adopt an even-odd strategy. If at any time I forget which level to play next, I will simply re-cast lots and start over.
I will only submit on Wednesday mornings at 10:43 am EST (daylight savings time), unless I beat a level on Wednesday after 10:43 am. In this case, I will submit on Friday afternoons at 3:41 pm, unless I can’t wait… in which case, I will submit as soon as I beat it.
CHEATER’S TIP: I have discovered that by lowering the room temperature in the room in which you’re playing to a crisp 59 degrees, the game actually appears to play in slow-motion. I feel like this is an amazing find for those of us ranked lower than first place. [Think about it… where is Mike from??? Up north in Canada!!! Where it is colder!!!] My wife is about to kill me, but it is really improving my gameplay. The only problem is that my fingers and nose seem to get a little chilly from time to time, but you know what they say, “No pain, No gain.”
I realize that by giving out my strategy and tips for free, it opens me up for other players to adopt my brilliant master plan and use it against me, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take.
