Maybe we should like, hold conversations or something here so it's not mostly just useless spam.

Erm..

So how's life?

...

well i still barely survive with bread . so that okay i think?

spread the bread

yah

good morning

evening, is the scoring automated?
it is, i see

I think it is

'morning.

evenin'

Almost noon here

Uhh, listen to any good songs lately?

some

just keep posting, it will update eventually... I hope

let's hope

Not like this.

did they update yet?

Doesn't look like it.

hmmm

Uh-oh

oh no

Yay it updated

nice

yay

dang

oh

uh oh, i hope my points won't get halved, i deleted a post because it looked like this lol:

_removed_

what the fuck

I will have to enact a 350 character rule. If your post is more than 350 characters you will get penalized

Go for it even though they will post 349.

349 is not even edgy. Making quote towers to circumvent the point of making it 350 characters max is edgy.

Lets stop encouraging spam okay.

john seriously.

I'll assume 1 hour is unrealistic unless you are Achromalia

I’m usually happy to post if I check here and see it’s 15+

I need to keep myself on the scoreboard.

also come on flan

That won't happen because I'll beat you instead!

I love pie

Ice cream is better...

Or maybe make an ice cream pie?

30 minutes is good for me

28 min is` fine

i`wanna get an even number

good evening. i'm bored.

about 19 minutes. fair enough. slow and steady.

20 mins. seems risky.

yeah

this shits intense.

👌👌

lol

damn, we can't even consistently hit 20 minutes anymore.

Nope!

Though I have to ask, @abraker, why not just make the score function be

score = seconds/60

, because it's pretty close to that anyway. Why add the logarithms?

okay i am done make three digit even is hard

Posting mechanics. Sure you can wait a long while to post, but posting at a more regular interval would give you more points. There should be an optimal number of posts for a time interval vs waiting as long to make a single post, however I never bothered to calculate it. On the other hand, if you want to go for the highest single score then that's fine too.

I'm just about done for today.

Now for a more accurate answer:

First it has to be an exponential. You earn more points the longer you wait. There is a difference between posting 10 times 30 minutes after each person and posting after 300 minutes. As much cumulative time has ed between your post and the previous, but the latter will give you more points. Now why all the fancy logs and such? I don't what the function solves to, but I did find that the equivalent of 1 day is equal to exactly 2000 points. I think there is one more anchor points, but not sure.

This is the unsimplified formula I used to solve for the function I desired:

n = log(2000.0/60.0)/log(24)
b = 60.0/pow(60.0, n)

score = b * pow(seconds_ed/60.0, n)

You can see the 2000 in there. 60 for seconds -> minute conversion, and 24 for hours in a day. Don't more than that at the current moment.

Hi

ayy

kinda feel good today manage to unlock the 4th character( aside from minor heart attack from some of her pattern from not dieing ).

yay

hmm what did Izect do?

teh voodoo

@abraker

I get the appeal of an exponential function. However, it doesn't start making a difference until like 1 hour or so. Between 0 ≤ seconds ≤ 3600, the equation is basically linear. But I guess you couldn't have predicted it anyway. So it doesn't really matter.

'morning.

You know, this thread is kinda like last post that lasts 24 hours wins except in reverse and with a scoring system.

bot choked again so gg

i blame archomalia

science: takes a gazillion dollars to do rigorous testing to suggest the possibility that a theoretical model might be correct.

engineering: Literal alchemy. You do cool shit and hope it doesn't blow up, but also wonder ages trying to figure out why something doesn't work.

Yeah but still.

I shouldn't really be saying anything tho because it's not like my things ever work.

I wonder why it breaks though

expect the next update to be in around 6 hours
