Planetace Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Wait a new round, I went back a few pages and... You guys missed me saying 6(-). So you subtract NEGATIVE 94 POINTS and start all over again... However I'm making an exception and allowing you to continue and forget that ordeal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Galacticvoyager, Any and all reverts must be posted before the ±100 post, except if it's in the same minute, which you can tell from mousing over the timestamp. Also, all reverts should be accompanied by a quote of the post you're referring to. It makes it easier for us GMs to sort through all the pages in a round.

Dman979 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Hi All, The positives won the last round. I want to remind players to remember the rules, posted below for convenience. Quote 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.) 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 remains 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. * 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. 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 allow override over winning posts too). 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. Post that are edited before the next post will be nulled. Post 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).
