d comes before e, +10 points.

Looks like the A team needs to call in reinforcements.

Which underscores the need for even more scoring bonuses...

455 S before T

I already have to count the posts on a page and check the name of the person before me. I really don't care to have to do any more research for this thread. Besides, I think it should go back and forth a few times before anyone wins. It isn't interesting if first score always wins.

Re: Team A vs Team B

455
because e is before j, but i believe the rules meant directly before as in i is before j. 455 would be 5 fore both me and jeff subtracting 5 each from eric.

can the rules get specified so that its only the letter DIRECTLY behind yours?

also, i was thinking that since team B is trying to go down, have team B get double if the letter goes say E[team a] posts, D[team b] posts, because the letter progression is downwards and the opposite for team A, they'd get double if the letter goes D[team b] posts E[team a] posts for upward progression. And What about when the same letter posts?

obviously it could get way difficult but random points rules would also be funny =)

How often will I see a name beginning with "V"?

The rule IS meant to be the letter directly before yours.

I don't know the letter BEFORE yours is pretty cut and dry i don't know how people are getting confused about their alphabets. I know that when i say the alphabet J never comes right after E.

Please read the rules and understand them before posting, if you have questions pm Chief Pride first!!!

Re: Team A vs Team B

Top post! Go B!

Since I can't post anew.....

Note the reference to "*THE* letter that comes before yours", meaning only one letter, meaning the most relevant one out of all that came before it, inferring the one that comes directly before yours.

I think the rule is clear if people take the time to read and comprehend.

Re: Team A vs Team B

425

The real confusion is the fact that for me, L is before M. But A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J, and K are all before M too. So, as the rule is written, if the person before me has a name starting with any of these, I should use 10 points. I know this isn't how it is intended. That is why we request the rules be modified to say the letter that comes 'directly' before. This would limit me to just people starting with L.

Please change the way the rule is written, or change the rule intention. I honestly don't care which, just one or the other but not both. Thanks.

Re: Team A vs Team B

Either way, 415.

or, CDXV.

And the rule says "the letter that comes before," not a letter that comes before

Re: Team A vs Team B

Molten, I clarified the rules a bit... Sorry about that.

Re: Team A vs Team B

Question, every 16th post is more accurate because the amount of posts shown per page is determined by user settings...so is it just posts that are multiples of 16? because I display 100 posts per page, so I have no way to tell.

Re: Team A vs Team B

FOUR SEVENTY!!!1!! WOOO!!

Re: Team A vs Team B

Ummm... James, what's that about reading the rules before hand? I don't see anything about getting 105 points out of the blue, and you didn't give a correction...

Most people (I think) view at 15 posts per page. So posts 16, 31, 46, ... are the tops of the page. So a post that divides evenly by 15 with a remainder of 1 is a "top of the page" post.

Taking the "on error, goto" part of the rules as follows:

Quote:

If anyone makes a mistake, go back to the post previous to the mistake,...

we go to rsisk's post, and team A sets the score to 370.

Re: Team A vs Team B

365

Yeah I was wondering where 105 came from. Is Team A resorting to underhanded dealings in an effort to win? :p

Re: Team A vs Team B

355. we're getting closer B!

Just a thought, what if the person before you has the letter before you and your at the top of the page? 100 points anyone?

370, and that's already taken care of by the rules--the double can't be combined with the 50 points.

Speaking of the rules, they're on the first page for those that haven't read them yet.
