I think that was a dispute, so the last valid's actually 2+

3+

Yes. You put it at the same time, which is a dispute. Because of the dispute rules, the second number is the last valid

Where does it say that? I'm looking at the rules.

hang on; Trying to quote it but it won't let me use the hidden contents for some reason

1. You must add or subtract 1 (+1 or -1) for each post.

 

2. You cannot perform any operation** again until another person has successfully* perform an operation to change the current number. (Technically you can just get 2 people on the same team spam posts real fast without breaking this rule. But that is exploiting the rule and being cheap. I will record your win snidely, and that pair will get a medal of dishonour.) 

*successful here means it has to be "correct" (see below) which means if someone made a mistake right after you, you can point it out, but you cannot perform an operation.

** You can make multiple posts in a row, so long as only one of them is an actual operation.

3. You can switch sides between positive and negative at any time you want, simply adding/subtracting in your next post if you are negative/positive. However, you cannot retroactively change your previous posts to reflect your allegiance changes, and they remain valid.

 

4. You can express the addition or subtraction process in anyway you like. You can express the current number however you like. Be it in words, numbers, mathematical expressions, a story, whatever*. However, your expression in your post, must clearly, correctly, and explicitly state the operation you have done (adding or subtracting) and the current number.

+ "Clearly" here means it must be clear to any reader, without context, to understand reasonably what operation you are doing to the number and what the current number is. If a message can be interpreted in multiple ways and is not clarified by the poster, it is nulled to avoid confusion. There must only be one interpretation possible.

+ "Correctly" here means your expression must truthfully represent the operation you did to the number and what the current number is. You cannot misinform other people of the current number and the operation you did to the number.

Note: Typos or mistakes are okay, but make sure that what you actually meant to say is clear. You can do this through editing or any other method, so long as the next person knows what you mean.

* Please avoid the following according to the forum game guideline:

 

• Binary, leet speak, encrypted messages, or games where you speak in other languages.

 

5. In cases where a message cannot be reasonably interpreted any other way from the context and information available, it cannot be considered to have multiple interpretations. The game will continue assuming the available obvious interpretation of the post despite what the original poster meant it to be.

Special case: If a user clearly and explicitly express intention to null their own post (before another user make a post), that post is nulled, as per obvious interpretation.

 

6. In the case of the current number being incorrect due to intentional or unintentional misinformation/misinterpretation, a player must notify others of the error, and will have to find the last correct number and quote that post (for easier accuracy checking) and the game continues as normal from the last correct number. The responsibility of finding errors falls on to players. If no one report the error following the procedure above, before the number reach 100 or -100, the win will still be awarded, the positive team if 100, negative team if -100 (unless declared invalid by a GM). Common sense apply here though. If someone intentionally jack up a ton of numbers at once and reach a winning number in just a few posts, that is way too obvious and won't count as a win. This rules apply for more subtle errors.

* Please follow to the reverting procedure below to ensure your revert is valid:

  Reveal hidden contents

1. Quote the last correct post and the one before it.
2. Quote the offending post(s) (not too many  )
3. Quote the post after the offending post
4. State which post is the last valid post, the action done on it, and the player who made it.
5. State why the offending post is in violation of the rules.
6. If you did not make the last valid post, feel free make the next valid post. If you made the last valid post, wait for the next person to post a number.

7. In the case of two or more posts from two or more different people being posted at the same time(give or take a minute) trying to subtract/add to the same number simultaneously , the post that appears last on the thread counts toward the change in the current number (this does not allow override over winning posts). This is to avoid needless confusion and people can simply read the last post to continue the game. You also cannot spam posts in an attempt to override another person's change during the 1 minute window, only your earliest post will count in that situation. So don't spam.

Special clause for rule 7: Rule 7 cannot be invoked if in doing so it violates rule 2. So one person cannot override another person's post if they are holding the currently contested number.

8. Posts that are edited before the next post will be nulled if the edit is for anything other than mistake correction. Posts that are edited after the next post will be made non-revertable (not valid, simply that it can't be used as revert point or as a cause for revert, the last valid post will be the one before it).  This is no longer applicable. Instead, a post edited after the next post(s) will be nulled, along with any newer posts. At this point, it is best to clarify what number we were at before the confusion.

9. The winning person is whoever says 100 or -100. The winning team is whichever team corresponds to the sign of the number.

10. If the nobody wins for a thousand posts, the team closer to winning and the person that makes the last post for that team get a round win, and we start over.

Note: If we decide to continue, it extends to 1111 posts. If still nobody wins, then it is stalemate.

11. If we stay between 1 and -1 for 10 or more posts, it is counted as a win for the zero team.

12. Please do not argue. The old thread was closed due to arguments.

If you have questions regarding the rules, you can PM a GM for more information. The current GM is me.

Rule 7. The forums is being a jerk so I can't change, but yeah, it's there
