Too bad I don't get a bonus for posting after rsisk anymore.

Did I miss something? I see some Team B-ers adding instead of subtracting.

685 s-t

Lee Reid 3136 05-08-2010 13:38

Re: Team A vs Team B
 
yeah, you did miss something. As a matter of fact you should be on the A-team now.

After Taylor post it should have been 700

so it is now:

750 with the top post (I think)

someone correct me if I'm wrong anywhere

This isn't seeming any more balanced than the old teams... but I'm not going to complain because I'm on the team closer to winning this time. :p

No, it isn't. You'd think that both methods would be somewhat random, perhaps using the second letter of your user name even more so, but for some reason it's terribly lopsided.

I wonder why that is?

Lee Reid 3136 07-08-2010 16:22

Re: Team A vs Team B
 
785

I would say that it's because it's more likely that people have vowels as the second letter of their user name and all of the vowels (except for sometimes y) are on Team A.

That's probably not the only reason but probably contributory.

Chief Pride 08-08-2010 12:35

P.S. In my thread display options, I've set "Thread Display Mode" to "Linear, newest first" and "Posts Per Page" to 100. Is there an easy way to know from the post number if a post is the "top" of a page?

Formula for TOP - When (Post #) % 16 = Zero then you are at bottom of page

RoboDesigners 18-08-2010 22:07

Re: Team A vs Team B
 
Hold on...

Following the formula I was given:
Quote:

When (Post #) % 16 = Zero then you are at bottom of page
So, from what I've worked:
Code:

3856 (Chief Pride's post number) % 16 = 0
Which would mean Chief Pride's post is at the bottom of the page.

Therefore, we are now at 890.

However, I've been known to be wrong before...

P.S. The time limit for posting is exactly 9hrs apart

smurfgirl 18-08-2010 23:15

Re: Team A vs Team B
 
845... I think? I'm confused about the logic in the previous post- maybe we're at 895 now instead.

delsaner 19-08-2010 00:18

Re: Team A vs Team B
 
850

I see Chief Pride as the first poster of the page, so I believe he got the first post. In my opinion, its now 850.

Re: Team A vs Team B

Before the rule change to using the second letter of the username, the score was like a million to one for team B. Since the rule change, I believe this is the first win and it goes to team A.

DonRotolo 24-08-2010 21:29

Re: Team A vs Team B

The score is on the first page of the post, but I think A won once before, prior to the change. Now it's 2. I'm definitely going to quit once it gets to 10-all.....:p
