The Total Guess Competition - Rules, Leaderboard & Commentary

[Aexodus]

Oh, when was the last update? I thought anything after the comp started in february 19 was fair game.

[Flinn]

Whenever you see me posting here about awarding new medals, so last one was on the March the 9th

[Aexodus]

Sorry, I don't understand. Why does being before the update make a win ineligible if it was posted since the competition began.

[Akar]

I think he's saying that those posts have in fact already been tabulated and the ones that have not been will be done next time Chesser updates the leaderboard.

this, thanks for explaining myboy

@ Aexodus, have you checked post #2 here, with the leaderboard inside?

[Aexodus]

I did check the leaderboard, but I checked Azorica by accident... everything seems to be alright

[Flinn]

You know you can't get away like that right? Our time is precious!

I'll get a glass of red wine, thanks

It;s time for Chesser to catch CoronaQuarentine time and update this baby.

He will for sure, whenever he can. Or maybe not, after all he's a volunteer, like any other Staffer, and pushing on him does not look like the smartest thing to do, no?

[General Brewster]

Chess and I have been friends for years. I doubt he even remotely considers this to be serious.

On second thought, remove me from the board and take the medal as well.

That's a bit of an overreaction, innit? You should flex that medal with pride

This is the same kind of nonsense that happened in my hotseat too .

I've always thought of you guys more as slaves than as volunteers

The more you should distinguish between his friendship with you and his Staff role... and there are other people as well working on this, who similarly deserve respect.

If you are serious about this, please send me a PM and I'll proceed.

[Akar]

If he is serious about it I will take his medal.

[General Brewster]

So you're telling me I can't make a joke to a friend but Akar can?

Edit: Forget about it. It's not worth it.

I won't forget about it, because I'm fond of you

I'm gonna send you a PM

[paleologos]

Who's making jokes without me?
You people are despicable...

[paleologos]

I would like to report a problem, well it is a problem for me.
There are certain members who play the games partially, not fully.
The rules of the games is that if the quiz that you post is answered then you give one point to the victor or you ask someone else to cover for you in that.
If you have answered correctly it is required to post the next quiz.
An implicit rule is that if you cannot post a quiz immediately then you should ask for some patience from the other players or suggest that someone else takes your turn.
A second implicit rule related to the one above is that a player should not consistently ask others to take his turn.
In any case I recommend that those who would give up their turn should not have their victory counted in their total tally.
Also people who refuse to play by these rules should be disallowed to post in the games' threads.

Any thoughts on this?

[King Athelstan]

I agree with the point that you don't get a point if you don't post the next question

[paleologos]

That is certainly necessary but ultimately not sufficient to solve the problem of half-hearted participation.
