IMESA decision #8

We endorse https://minesweeper.online/ as an alternative Minesweeper implementation, and a gold standard for non-competitive/recreational Minesweeper. It was and is integral in shaping the community as it exists today, being largely responsible for ushering in a new golden age of Minesweeper and bringing an entirely new generation of players to the game, while also significantly expanding its scope and casual replayability. It should be considered for any casual events that emphasize the player experience over competitiveness, due to its familiarity to the vast majority of the community. We consider its rankings an alternative suitable benchmark to assess player skill/dedication for the purposes of qualifying players for events/travel refunds/etc.
