@Historian, that's fine, but I got to move these Color TV's!

I hope your printer's already started printing decks, because otherwise you're gonna be late. I mean, 142,000 x 2 is a lot of decks, and that's just the $35 pledges.
.
Lessee, 284,000 decks, 40 hour work week, 17 weeks (March to June), they're gonna have to churn out 7 decks a minute.
.
I'll look around, see if I've got a whip I can lend you.

Yeah, a little hard to assign qualitative measurements to the comment feed. It's quite subjective. If F did the data work on it, the F ratio would probably be pretty different.

@General C, well dang... I think this should be done by group consensus. What are we calling 'spam'? Are villainy updates spam? What about pron updates?
There should be NO doubt the streaking thing was spam....

@Silver Nijatten has definitely claimed the title of "Night Spammer."
Simply being obnoxious sometimes also doesn't count as spam. Was [I'mevilI'evilI'mevilI'evilI'mevilI'evilI'mevilI'evilI'mevilI'evilI'mevilI'evilI'mevilI'evil] spam or was that just a story or character background he wanted us to read?
Mike Kabala 2015-02-12T13:58:15-05:00
The reason streaking went away is because we ignored it to the point that it wasn't fun any more.
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-02-12T13:58:24-05:00
Well, it should be a given that most posts of his that actually contained the word "spam" were probably spam. Also, "cham" and "speese," I believe?
Spam is mystery meat, clearly we're all wrong.... dun dun dun....
Zack "KitKat" Rice 2015-02-12T14:02:25-05:00
Oh I never checked up on my question to see if it got answered...
Does anyone know what happens when you defuse a kitten? does it get discarded? or just go to the bottom of the deck?

Well in the end that will occur, but it's the same regardless of forum or place. A discussion being moot does not in and of itself make it irrelevant or without reason or cause.
@KitKat: I think the decks limit the number of player so that won't happen. Which is the reason you need another deck to add more people/

Zack "KitKat" Rice 2015-02-12T14:06:23-05:00
@MikeKabala, that would make sense then. I was just cornfused because if they were all defused there wouldnt be much of a reason to use any cards after that until you run out, so everyone would just be discarding cards out of their hands until the kittens came back in play.
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-12T14:06:33-05:00
WHEW okay, all caught up, took like half an hour but I'm all caught up lol
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-02-12T14:06:41-05:00
@catness - It's suppose to be inclusive fun community interaction. Shunning to the extent we're doing now is maybe acceptable. (maybe not) Even with something particularly obnoxious, the more you try to shut it down, the more powerful they become. And since we cannot actually kick someone off the comment feed we're stuck with each other. That's why we should all play nice. :)
Zack "KitKat" Rice 2015-02-12T14:07:03-05:00
@Potatten, like having a certain number of defuse cards?
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-12T14:07:19-05:00
DDD, I'm mostly joking about the shunning. Though, I did put Sliver in timeout yesterday.
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-02-12T14:07:21-05:00
Anyway, looks like everyone moved on from that, I will too :)
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-12T14:07:54-05:00
DDD, you can't actually kick people out of the comments thread, but you could excommunicate people from the corps. Remove their names and stuff from the site. I just can't imagine when that kind of response would be necessary.
@Potatten and @ KitKat: You could always modify the deck by removing/adding if you find the balance doesn't work for you...once the decks are in your hands, you can play them with the set rules, adjust them, or just stare at the pretty cards without playing. All your choice.
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-02-12T14:09:55-05:00
@catness - that was actually my real point, in that by excommunicating someone from the corps, you're just taking away a thing that would make them want to interact pleasantly. If they've already gone overboard enough to warrant that, I don't see how it achieves the desired effect.
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-12T14:10:01-05:00
Potatten and KitKat, this is why I don't design games. These things seem so obvious once you say them.
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-12T14:10:03-05:00
Also I'm fairly sure Prof F is in transit to Amsterdam right now which explains his absence, as someone who JUST got back from that trip 2 weeks ago it's a crazy long plane ride lol

The old versions of the defuse cards from various pictures said to place the Kitty back anywhere in the deck (unsure if that means you could place it as the top card).
Regardless, fairly certain that there's two outcomes. If you explode, the card goes with you. If you don't explode it gets put back. That also explains the player count. 3 kitty cards means a 4 player game.

Blondie, tyranny of the rocketing comment stream.
I think were working on defining to what degree F actually spams....
Don't quote me on that though...
If we make a rule about spam, it only serves to encourage spamming.
BTW, where is Pr.F?
Simply being obnoxious sometimes also doesn't count as spam. Was [I'mevilI'evilI'mevilI'evilI'mevilI'evilI'mevilI'evilI'mevilI'evilI'mevilI'evilI'mevilI'evil] spam or was that just a story or character background he wanted us to read?

@CB: I don't think we're making a rule, we're just saying what we think is spam. F is a good kid, and he generally means well. So no one REALLY cares.
Or pretty much 99% of the one or two word posts should be considered spam.
Cham and Speese are for the most part spam.
On a side not, the roast beef I got, is a beautiful medium rare...with a nice spicy BBQ sauce.
spam is what you find when you look on the back of maps, or when you look at wads upside down.
What would be the consequence of confirmed spamming events?
Do we get to excommunicate someone?
Yeah...all in all it's more of a curiosity. "Rules" would be pointless anyway, insofar as we have no actual way to reinforce them.
Or shun people?!
@Potatten, That's cool, but everyone wil wind up making his/her own opinion about what is and isn't spam, so the entire discussion is moot.
Spam is mystery meat, clearly we're all wrong.... dun dun dun....

Pr.F used "Speese" 21 times. It was used 5 times by Idle/wild, 2 times by DaWolf and once by LZ
@Potatten: And it is really good when sliced, pan fried, and served with bacon...everything is better with bacon...and butter.
Well in the end that will occur, but it's the same regardless of forum or place. A discussion being moot does not in and of itself make it irrelevant or without reason or cause.
KitKat, I think it gets discarded.
Mmmm..... butter fried bacon.....
@KitKat: My un-educated guess would be discarded.
Catness, then what happens if all the Kittens get defused and there is none left to explode?
When it is used WITH idle/wild it is character transaction, and therefore NOT spam.
KitKat, oooohhhh, that's a good point! I would guess whoever did the defusing would win.
@KitKat, I think you reshuffle the discard pile if you run out of cards, so the exploding kittens would be put back in play.
Who does the top 20 posts?
I am due an award and I want to go to lunch. I don't want to miss it.

@KitKat: Yes, I think they kitten cards will outnumber the defusers enough that it won't matter. If not there's always a reshuffle.
