Quoting Sole Soul,

I'm beginning to think future rounds may need as a rule the restriction you placed on yourself, SSAF.  However, this would tend to 1) make the games much longer and 2) necessitate having shorter games rather than longer games.

But for the record in the new one (which probably deserves its own thread at this point?), the OP should reflect that (particularly if we keep the system as is) all posts must be accompanied by a declaration of up or down, so we can figure out where the hell we're at at any given point in time.

I still need to go back and find Loup's post where he started that and give him karma for it.

I agree at least that the next round needs to be in a new thread. There's been a lot of people coming in and still thinking that it's 0-100-200, simply because they didn't read all 95 pages.

Also, I think locked teams are a pretty good idea, so we don't have people jumping ship at random points.

I think that instead of just saying no double posts, also say that there must be at least 3 or so posts between each reply. The thread moves along pretty quickly, which should mean you don't have to wait too long. Plus, you can't have one person dominating and slamming the count up or down. (FinisKalan, I'm looking at you! )

I'd still like to keep the numbers climbing, if just so see how far we'd go. and how insane we are. But a cut-off should be instated that would reset the count. Say, for example, once 0-2000-4000 is reached, it resets back to 0-100-200. It doesn't have to be the same number, but you get my drift.)

I'm also considering doing team rounds, where before each game starts, two variable numbered teams are formed, and then locked in to compete. No outside members can help them, only team against team. Maybe something like that could be saved for a competition or something...

So, any other ideas? Feel free to input, I'm all ears [e digicons](\(\[/e]

Oh, and a note to all you slow browser people, I've been using the Sins forums, and as far as I can tell, they work great.

I don't.

I want to have the freedom to jump ship, even if I never do.

SSAF, I wasn't referring to your no double posts rule.  We already had that one.  I was speaking of your restriction that you placed on yourself such that you wouldn't post more than once per page.

Which means games would take longer, and lesser numbers would lead to faster games (which would tend to but not quite cancel each other out).

One person can't bump it up alone (no double posts), but I get what you are saying.

the double posts were probabally an accident by finis(during 80's) where we were trying to anticipate the other persons numbers, or at least i was.

one post per page would be a horrible rule, we would have to stick to very low numbers and this game would die out VERY fast.

the freedom to jump ships, ive done it and like it... expecially when it throws a wrench into a teams system \

off topic

we need an evil snicker/laugh icon...

I hadn't thought about it, but I guess we don't have enough people for that kind of a rule.  Oh well.

I always waited until I saw another post after mine. I had one double post that was edited out. It happened because the forum didn't show my first post right away.

Sorry, i should have been clearer. I meant to try and reduce runs, for instance Finis posts then calania then finis then calania, etc. etc.

I wasn't trying to blame anyone for double posting, no one has, so I'm sorry for any mistakes.

I understand what you're trying to say about jumping teams, but as far as I've noticed, not too many do switch, at least the ones that post more than 10 or so times. Everyone seems to just stay on the same team they started with for each round, and not really change. The rule of declaring your team would only be a formality, I guess.

Keep the input coming, so we can hammer out ways to make this game even funner.

You know, that could work.

Give everyone the chance to randomly post for the other side, maybe two or three times. I think that would be a good compromise.

One of these days, I'm going to switch teams.

Regardless whether or not there's a rule about it.

No offense.

You've already been through three rounds without switching mid round.

Yeah, just to clarify, this rule would only prevent switchage in round, but not between rounds.

So now I go to statisticalize, a horrifically dauntig task. I'll have the scores up soon.

Awards!

 

Lightning Round: Cypher, FinisKalan, and Sole Soul. Holy fuck guys. Up and down and up and down and up and down and up and down.......

Astounding Valiance: FinisKalan. Alone you held on whilst your enemy tore the ground from beneath your feet for a long while, with only the rare and confusing assistance of Varsi1 to help.

Came...From...Behind!: UP Team, from a knockdown to almost the start, all the way to victory.

Last Gasp: DOWN Team, with an astounding smashdown of UP Team.

Single handed Kick-Butt: (Thanks to Calania for the inadvertent name) Finis! Finis completely owned this game. Kinda like last game. And the game before that. I’m starting to think he doesn’t actually exist. Maybe he’s an AI existing in the Stardock forums. That would explain a lot.

Crazed Poster: Calania! You went from hardly any posts to 363 for the win!

Tag Teamers: Cypher and Sole Soul. Un-friggin stoppable, at least for a little while.

 

MVPs

#1 MVP for all teams: FinisKalan (No shit! )

UP Team:

MVP #1 FinisKalan
MVP #2 Calania

DOWN Team:

MVP #1 Sole Soul
MVP #2 Cypher

----------------------------------

And as promised, there will be karma.

 

Reply to post #2078, I love you all too.

Yeah, yeah Sole Soul, laugh it up on post #1635…laugh it up.

And thanks, Finis, for handling that whole mix-up waaaaay back there in the 800s.

 

         Their eyes move perfectly in synch.....look away.....LOOK AWAY!!!!

As I said, Finis actually isn't a person. He's an Ai in the forums. EEEVIL.

Only because the forums went boom.

...wait, did I say that out loud?

SSAF, are you sure you want larger numbers?  You do realize everyone's expecting you to do the stats for the next game, too, right?
