ResetEra bumping game

[OrdinaryUsername]

The rules of the game are simple: the time in minutes between the previous post in this topic and your post is your score.

We keep track of each person's total scores in a list. So please include your score every post.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am looking for a suitable website to keep track of all those scores per person so that we can follow them in real-time. (If you have an idea, please let me know!)

But for now, we'll do it this way:

Rankings:
1. Name | Total score | Score earned by current post
2. Name | Total score | Score earned by current post
3. Name | Total score | Score earned by current post
etc.

i don't get it

 

[NESpowerhouse]

So if I were the first poster, that would mean I would just wait until the day this website dies and I win right?

One minute has passed between the post above you and your post. This is then one point for you.

1. blamespace | 1 | +1

And a minute has passed between blame space and NESpowerhouse 's post, so NESpowerhouse gets a point too.

Spoiler: Total rankings

1. blame space | 1
1. NESpowerhouse | 1
1. AnOrdinaryUsername | 1

 

[blame space]

it seems like everyone just gets points as minutes pass

Now there are six minutes between your post (#5) and my post (#4), so that's 6 extra points for you. And there are four minutes between my post (#6) and your post (#5), so that's four points for me.

Spoiler: Total rankings

1. blame space | 7 | +6
2. AnOrdinaryUsername | 5 | +4
3. NESpowerhouse | 1

 

[PerfectFlaw]

I think blame space just won.

*puts thread on watch list to be ignored for a year*

 

[Kyuuji]

Kyuuji | 4 | +4

 

[Zombine]

What

 

[Ventilaator]

But if I post exactly after 60 seconds every single time, I would get 1 point every single time, while preventing anyone else from getting any points (Zero minutes will have passed between their post and mine)

And I just keep doing that until I am crowned the champion of this game.

Hoping for a balance patch.

1. blame space | 7
2. PerfectFlaw | 6 | +6 (= number of minutes between post #6 and post #7)
2. AnOrdinaryUsername | 6 | +1 (= number of minutes between post #11 and post #12)
3. Kyuuji | 4 | +4 (= number of minutes between post #8 and post #9)
4. Zombine | 1 | +1 (= number of minutes between post #9 and post #10)
4. NESpowerhouse | 1
4. Ventilaator | 1 | +1 (= number of minutes between post #10 and post #11)

For that reason, it would be a better idea not to allow double-posting.

 

[Zombine]

So essentially this is just a game of chicken??

 

[Ashlette]

So the whole point is to wait as long as possible to post without letting someone else "take" your points. Or am I wrong?

 

[LProtagonist]

if someone just posts less than a minute after the previous post no one gains any points
and then I guess blame space wins

 

[fanboi]

I am on a list now aint I?

 

[Username1198]

Can I spam post button for the win?

 

[Stranger Things]

Sign me up.

That's right.

That's also true.

What is the "game of chicken" if I may ask?

 

[Tochtli79]

I win
| 5 | + 5

 

[OrdinaryUsername]

To be clear: This forum game should be played as in this topic (forum no longer exists): URL

 

[blame space]

don't tell me how to play

 

[Deleted member 41178]

This seems like a very elaborate waste of time.

 

[blame space]

sounds like loser talk to me, roland.

That's it close the thread

 

[subpar spatula]

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

 

[Fliesen]

So, basically, this is like oddball in Halo?

Please don't add me to the scoreboard, thanks. Also, please don't waste your time on this. Do something worthwhile with your time, OP.

You all just lost the game.

 

[OrdinaryUsername]

So I did not explain this Thread Necromancy forum game properly. Moreover, I can't find any automated program or code that keeps track of the time between posts itself, and creates a ranking for players.


No, I am discontinuing this and withdrawing.

 

[LProtagonist]

you can't just stop what you've started

 

[blame space]

lmao i kicked ass at this game

 

[Shiz Padoo]

Please don't include me in the results. I just wanted to post this.

 

[OrdinaryUsername]

Click to shrink...

Do what you want. Program with code a ranking that automatically keeps track of the number of points per person for overview. You guys can continue it, but I'm not participating anymore.

This thread seems to have reached a conclusion, but for future reference, contentless bumping games isnt something we're particularly interested in hosting.
