The Ãœber Meta Forum Challenge

[Red Iron Crown]

If SQUAD or Cap't Skunky were to enter they would beat us all handily. Check out their rep scores.

[horndgmium]

Wow, those would be some crazy high scores for sure.

I just looked at sal's page and he would break 10,000 points on replies and posts per day alone!

Also guys, a couple of award names were changed too. I updated the leaderboard but if I forgot anyone let me know.

Thanks haha!

I'm partway through my robotics degree, so I'm working at GE Aviation for the summer. We make parts for the Turbojet

[horndgmium]

Hey that's an especially good gig for still being in school. That sounds pretty cool!

[Cmdr. Arn1e]

Wondering when a mod will walk in and steal the show, and possibly move the thread too! Definitely more of a forum game than a challenge IMO... this last page is just 2 people chatting lol

I'll finally join in though...

+20 have an account (well, let me see...)

+20 take part (heh, guess only the once counts!)

+25 have an Image/Avatar (losing points because I don't like .GIFS as avatars... oh well!)

+50 for having a friend... (yay! lol)

+291 post count

2.91 posts per day * 100 = 291 again (lol!)

+20 for 2 Threads started with at least 2 replies

5*48=240 for Rep

202 for visitors to my page

= 1159 total

Awards:

Think I missed out on Greenhorne, started in .22

Just Getting Started - 777 on Steam, but have had a fair amount of KSP offline, which it doesn't count...

So, not too bad for someone who's only been playing for 6 months or so, and found the forum a *bit* later...

Edited June 22, 2014 by Cmdr. Arn1e

[horndgmium]

Haha yeah, I'm expecting both of those things to happen as well. Sal_vager was one of the people in mind when I was throwing this together, so... we shall see!

But, added!

Also, I finally got around to adding an award for starting playing between .18 and .23, so many people probably just got that...

+20 for each thread you start that gets at least two replies

I dunno, probably 20 is a conservative guess (ZS and its subsidiaries counts for at least 10)

20x20 = 400 plus 6062 = 6462

By my count, you have 80.

Amusing. Let's see...

+20 points for having an account

+10 points for taking part in this challenge

+25 points for having an image for your account

+400 points for 2 full years of being a member

No official friends registered, not that that means much.

No blog entries; I tend to stick to posts.

+1438 point for forum posts

+148 for 1.48 posts per day

I don't really post articles...

Trying to figure out how many threads I've posted that have gotten replies is a fool's errand, if only for the accidental forum purge of April 2012. My guess would be that 50 would be a reasonable ballpark estimate, so +1000

+1430 points for reputation accumulated

+(2112 * 0.5) points for each visit to my page = 1056

Should be 200 - as you have highlighted yourself, the points are only for full year you have been a member, I don't think anyone else has calculated the part year as you seem to have done!

to clear that up, it's the 200 for the full year plus the 55 from the previous categories. not 255 points plus 55.
