Hello players, we are very excited to announce that this morning The New York Times published an article on Mozak. If you were ever curious about the purpose of Mozak or the history of how it came about, be sure to give it a read.

You can read it here.

Hi tracers! As you may have noticed, there are more challenges availible than usual today.

The new challenges are created in anticipation of increased number of users in the next two weeks. We will later adjust the number of challenges in accordance with the preferences of the community.

As usual, if you have feedback or suggestions, please check in with us over the forums, Facebook, and/or Twitter.

Have fun!

Hey folks, we’re going to be deploying a few small changes to Mozak at around noon PDT tomorrow, April 22nd. Expect around 15 minutes of downtime at most, possibly less.

Thanks for your understanding, and have a great weekend!

Hi tracers! Today’s news is a little bittersweet - I am leaving the Center for Game Science to embark upon a new opportunity. Fortunately, we have a strong developer core here, and they have promised to take care of things in the interim as they search for your next great Community Manager. Please continue to use the forums to file your bug issues and fantastic suggestions - they already have quite the list thanks to all of you, but as you know, the work never really stops.

Keep an eye on UW Hires in the near future to find out when the position will be made available. If all goes as planned it probably won’t be up for long. It will be based on campus, here in Seattle.

Thank you so much for letting me be your Community Manager through this essential early beta period. I look forward to hearing exciting news about Mozak and the discoveries you will all make together. Also, you may see me around here contributing to a neuron or two in my spare time and making a chase on those leaderboards - it turns out I?ve also learned a thing or two about neuron reconstruction with everyone else.

In the meantime, farewell, and thank you!
