N -12 -- Here's my proposition (between the horizontal lines, not counting them): ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Third Great Number War I. Important Notice As per instructions from the moderators: there is to be no role play elements to the battle. Simple exclamations that we are getting ahead or falling behind, or saying you need help are fine, but no suggestion that you are part of an army or fantasy faction in some epic confrontation. It is more or less attempting to reach a goal line and passing to another with the same goal, or getting intercepted by someone going the other way. II. Rules A. Definitions Current Number (CN): the number around which the game revolves. At the beginning of each round, it is set to 0. Round (or Battle): between two resets of the CN. Ninja'd: if, while you are typing your post, someone else posts a move, which makes yours invalid, you have been ninja'd. Most of the time, you won't see it until you refresh the page. This then causes you to have to edit your post to correct for the new number. It is then not unheard of for someone to post before you have had a chance to edit your post, and so a cascade effect happens. To make clear your original intent in the hopes of lessening this, see under "Posts". B. Goal The goal is for the CN to reach ±75. Everytime this happens, the current round ends, a new one is started, and the CN is reset to 0 in the next post. If the CN is 75, it is a Positive victory. If it is -75, it is a Negative victory. C. Posts Every valid post must contain at least a number, the CN (when you made the post, and prefaced by a letter, see below). Additionally, for your post to be valid: You must wait at least five minutes between two of your posts. This is to minimise spam and ninja posting. (Note that it is not five minutes between any two posts, but only between your own posts.) Any other player must have posted a valid post between your last post and your new post. In other words, you can't make two posts in a row. The CN in your post must be the one of the previous post, plus or minus 1 (one). No floating-point or decimal (etc.) shenanigans, please. "One" is neither 0.5 nor 32. Your number must have a preface letter before it, which is one of the following. By doing this, a player can see what you intended to put, and post knowing what it would be if you had not been ninja'd. P if you are trying to get the CN to +75 (Positive) N if you are trying to get the CN to -75 (Negative) Z if your goal is to get the CN to zero (Neutralist) C if you are chaotic and just post as you feel, but your post's CN must only be 1 different from the last post's. The addition or the subtraction of the number 1. (Chaotic) III. Tally of Victories Positive: 7 Negative: 7 IV. History of the Third Great Number War Thanks to @Nazalassa, who went through every post in this thread, and wrote down their CN, we have this graph, which shows the evolution of the CN across this thread. The horizontal scale is the CN, and the vertical scale is the post number (since the beginning of the thread). ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ To avoid residual background color, I recommand that you quote me, and copy the part of the quote that my proposition is to the OP. Else, there's going to be a gray background behind the text, which will probably look ugly for people using the new [dark] themes. Also note that it is normal that the spoiler has extra space at the bottom... Please don't remove it. I also demand approval from @ColdJ, who made the previous rules, before the OP is changed. I did some slight reorganization, rephrased a few things, and added a definition section, as well as a bit of info.

Yes.

@ColdJ is alt working now?

First: on Linux, for some obscure reason, the "alt" key is right-shift. Second: you can actually change that, go in settings.cfg and find this: MODIFIER_KEY { primary = RightShift secondary = None group = 0 modeMask = -1 modeMaskSec = -1 } Change it to: MODIFIER_KEY { primary = LeftAlt secondary = None group = 0 modeMask = -1 modeMaskSec = -1 } And done! If there are other instances of RightShift you can change them to LeftAlt as well. If you want both alt keys to do it, change secondary = None to secondary = RightAlt Hope it helps :)

Geonovast became afraid. He expected the safety inspector to appear before dark, as the team thought that massive boosters might counter the lack of struts on Kerbin. The mission would gradually devolve into reaction wheels, something literally revolutionary to Kerbalkind. How extraordinary that is, considering the effort required to make big ol' pitch forks and feather dusters with large torches, and wiggly tentacles playing the piano for fun. Exactly one week later, the inspector woke to find a great disturbance in the force - a PowerPoint presentation. The horror of it overcame him with great quantum superlinearecitation. A Massive vortex opened to reveal a terrifying cake-producing monster. The inspector immediately panicked and reached for his pogo-stick, deftly bouncing off the bed that he was floating on down the Nile and into the grasp of Curveball-Anders who spontaneously barfed. Rutabaga, meanwhile, emerged in the river of dreams. Snark saw Kerbiloid and thought, is that Adsii? What strange and bizarre manifestations appear when Aerodynamic Kerbal suffers from a ColdJ virus. Deddly, Vanamonde and TakeTwo ninja'd the cake as Admiral-Fluffy forlornly tried to soak a stolen dry bagel in lox. The cake-producing monster began slithering towards the first person to run a bakery in the best area of Dakota. Competition wasn't anything the monster felt like wasting time on. However, the mountain of cake was devoured by the kraken, leaving a steaming pile of useless debris. Boris (the monster) started a clearance war while Adsii cleaned his plate with an explosion of flavour that could've potentially rivaled the famed Tibetan chocolate croissant. Meanwhile 18watt, Nazalassa and Starhawk were hatching a plan to take over Minmus with an icecream van. Scoops of Minmuscream were flung in every possible direction, while Vanamonde insisted on waffle-cone diplomacy complete with toppings and spoons. The outcome of the event was uncertain; the icecream was completely consumed by Gargamel and the cones became crushed from lack of enthusiasm by the moderators. The inspector later wrote a scathing report; despite having no memory of previous events, it was imaginative and entertaining in its depiction of strange hallucinations and bizarre potatoes. He was deliberately throwing doubt across the entire Kerbol system as to what had happened, so more inspectors arrived to grab a bunch of managers to remove the sting of the report. However, before they were ready for publishing, the Kraken released a piece of artwork based on macaroni cheese to surpass the wiggly tentacles playing the piano for fun. This caused a hyperbolic frenzy in publishing the report, resulting in an outrage against its writers, who then asked, "Where are the snacks?" Boris suddenly saw an opportunity to sell copious amounts of Snacks. Hot cupcakes sold like hotcakes and cold cake sold like cold cream cups (which are good for puffy eyes). But something unexpected did occur: the inspector shared his lunch and threw a party for everyone, although Geonovast excluded Gargamel. Curveball-Anders took everyone to the local ice cream-pizza-pinball-chicken-applesauce-candy-methalox-whole_pineapple-drywall parlour and asked for some funds from the waiter, who choked on the pinball release-lever, tilting the machine over. "Funds!" he exclaimed flabbergastedly," you want my FUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "HOW DARE YOU EVEN SUGGEST SUCH A THING!" "WHY I OUGHTA..." the waiter fumed indignantly as he gasped for air, collapsing while clutching his ukulele. "Oh crud," he wheezed into a squeezebox, which inflated to the size of a prize-winning pumpkin. "A prize", said Starhawk, "is worth funds." Tiredly, the waiter raised a kickstarter campaign to capture the wiggly tentacles playing the piano for fun, and a plan was beginning to form in his mind. He imagined a B.O.B (Battle of the Bands) in which Jeb, for marketing purposes, screamed an Electric-Guitar intro of "Let's go Crazy". The monster, however, preferred jazz piano, and tried to eat them, but a rogue hard disk formatted the simulated soft-serve ice-cream, instantly replacing people with other ice-cream-flavoured people, that tasted like Minmus. "Yuck" said the Imposter, "this paragraph is getting way too long (paraphrased into a paradox, maybe we should go back in time), why not stop it right now?" However, by traveling back before it starts back then, Nazalassa made a discovery about the wiggly tentacles that play the piano, that shocked the entire Kerbal audience, sentence building

We blocked the school this morning

N -1 I'll think about it, minimal text changes but more "prettiness" (??)

In the OP, probably -- like this: "New game rules" here - "If you want to see the evolution of the CN in this thread, here it is: <spoiler>" possibly a tally of victories, if present (or if you want to add it) (Also maybe make the rules a bit more, say... pretty.)

@hello!

3908 Hello AtomicTech

And for the last post of the page, the complete history of the 3rd Number War: Hope you like it. It's currently 106.5 KiB on my hard disk :). @AtomicTech it would be nice if it were in the OP (maybe just copy-paste the spoiler, I have a trick so that it will auto-update until we reach post 20,000, on page 801, so we should be safe until then :) )

I guess @Jacob Kerman is more likely

New Game Rules. These are new game rules. As it is impossible to edit the original post it is asked that any time a core player sees a new player that they link them to this or the copy of this that is to be placed at the beginning of a new battle, that will have an updated tally of victories. As per instructions from the moderators. There is to be no role play elements to the battle. Simple exclamations that we are getting ahead or falling behind, or saying you need help are fine, but no suggestion that you are part of an army or fantasy faction in some epic confrontation. It is more or less attempting to reach a goal line and passing to another with the same goal or getting intercepted by someone going the other way. There is a term used in the forums called "Being Ninja'd". Basically if while you are typing your post someone else posts a move and you don't see it till you have refreshed your page. This then causes you to have to edit your post to correct for the new number. It is then not unheard of for someone to post before you have had a chance to edit your post and so a cascade effect happens. To make clear your original intent in the hopes of lessening this, There is a new rule for posting as follows. When posting please preface your number by one of 4 letters. P if you are trying to get the score to +75 N if you are trying to get the score to -75 Z if your goal is to get the score to zero C if you are chaotic and just post as you feel, but your number must only be 1 different from the last post put. The addition of the number 1 or the subtraction of the number 1. By doing this a player can see what you intended to put and post knowing what it would be if you had not been ninja'd. There is a 5 minute rule for individual number posts done by you, this is to minimise spam and ninja posting. To post a new number post, there are 4 rules that must be followed for it to be considered valid. To make a valid number post, 1: Your previous post must say it was made 5 minutes or greater before your current. 2: Any other player must have posted a number post between your last post and your new post. 3: Your post must be only 1 number different from the last post. Clarification: The number must be the whole number known as 1, spelt One. Either the addition of 1 or the subtraction of 1. 4: Your number must have a preface letter. All new games must start with a "0" . If you posted the winning post, be it +75 or -75 , then it is asked that you copy this post into a new post and update the tally so that this is at the beginning of a new game. Tally of Victories. Positive wins: 7 Negative wins: 7 Now, let's get back to 0.
