Regardless, we have only 83 people who have posted a comment per day average. I wouldn't say 12,000 people are "active". I don't know what the threshold is, whether it's 10 comments or 1 per day, or whatever... but it's not 12,000 people.
I've seen cats blow some gnarly boogers.... ever been sneeze on by a cat from above?
Señor Skunkeeten 2015-03-10T15:19:43-04:00
Think old wives tell tales of long lives they have lived. But they got to be so old that they sleep when they tell the tales. Atleast they got no tails..
@DDD: Because people don't carefully check the stuff we ask them to verify before approving for payroll, and so we need to spend the next 40minutes TRYING to figure out what the hell went wrong.

Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-03-10T16:11:51-04:00
@GM
I already told you, just send it all to my account. Problem solved.
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-03-10T16:15:26-04:00
Seems silly to post a comment about not posting a question, rather than just ask the question. :\
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-03-10T16:17:03-04:00
Anyway, seems he posed this question to the Updates thread:
“I admit that I'm confused. I could meet the requirements and I have done many game demo's. But how does it work that you will tally the "Likes" on March 24th, but want the games run in April? I can do some in Little Rock, Arkansas and in Memphis Tenn."
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-03-10T16:18:48-04:00
Whoever is ahead on March 24th wins the right to run the demo in April. Any additional game play surveys would be sent back after the demo takes place. Correct?
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-10T16:19:13-04:00
Correct, sir.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-10T16:19:52-04:00
The video is to "audition/apply" to have a playtest demo. Winners will be sent a kit, you have the party in april, and then respond with survey.

Making cookie cutters is killing me right now....
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-03-10T16:23:12-04:00
Making your own cookie cutters? Use my 3D printer for that usually.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-03-10T16:23:23-04:00
I'm wondering if I should apply. Probably not. I'm on a campus and could just put up signs and stuff and host an event in like every floor of every dorm and get thousands of players. Or I could sit here on my computer and think about doing it then get back to avoiding homework like a baus. Has anyone here applied?
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-10T16:24:14-04:00
Using strips of metal tin and some tools. crap...you just gave me another reason to buy a 3d printer... THINGS I NEED BUT CANNOT AFFORD.
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-03-10T16:24:58-04:00
I'd like to. I just don't know how much time I'll have. I also have plans both of those weekends, so I'd either need to change something or host it during the week.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-03-10T16:26:39-04:00
I don't have time either. It would be so worth it, but I couldn't do what I'd want to without tons of helpers which would be easy to get. Just not gonna happen.
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-03-10T16:28:10-04:00
If I ever got 10 hours, I'd love to program an electronic version and host a 10,000 player game. However I also don't like getting sued.
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-03-10T16:31:23-04:00

And... shouldn't the infrastructure for the tallying be already up and in place before the madness starts?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-03-10T16:32:33-04:00
Why don't they do that? Like how pretendyourexyzzy.xyz became online Cards Against Humanity. Not sure if they stole it or have permission, but plenty of people use it.

I think CAH has given specific creative commons license.
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-03-10T16:34:46-04:00
Yeah, on their website CAH has given CC permissions. You can remake free of charge but are not allowed to profit off of it or use their trademarked name. It was probably easier to do that than try and prove which near clones are infringing.
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-03-10T16:36:43-04:00
Granted, if the EK trio gave me permission, then I'd love to. Especially if I could use card artwork instead of just text. However I feel that if they wanted to go down that avenue they would pay a professional design firm to make a marketable game. (I and many others on here are professional coders and could probably do as good or even better job, but there's additional considerations using fans)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-03-10T16:42:24-04:00
Aaw, I missed creeper's 5000th comment! I'll have to go back through her profile and find it now.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-03-10T16:43:13-04:00
And the way some people stopped and I comment so much now, I may be on that list before another month!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-03-10T16:46:54-04:00
I think creeper's 5,000th is, though I may have miscounted by accident, Update 18 is here! HUZZAH!
That's a pretty good one for that. I'll have to think of something profound for my 1000th, and maybe thank the academy and everything.
US payroll is about the same amount of work as turning carbon into a diamond....using your bare hands. Until we get everything smoothed out(in 3-4months...I would be dreaming if I said sooner than that) I will probably be a little...short for lack of better words.

Now I should get to studying for a calc 2 test. Too bad the general isn't here. He could take it for me.
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-03-10T17:29:33-04:00
Calc 2 is easy. It doesn't start getting hard until Calc 4.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-03-10T17:29:56-04:00
Ooh, closing back in on # of comments against epicderpguy. He passed me last week when I stopped for a while, now I'm back to just 60 comments behind instead of 150. Soon...
And after the whale, Creeper! I will rule the comments section with an iron fist, which, for a mattress, is just as likely as a real one!!!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-03-10T17:30:52-04:00
Good afternoon All ...
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-03-10T17:31:22-04:00
I hated precalc, was ok with calc 1, and loved calc 2. My high school calc class actually kept up with the college so well I could've jumped straight to calc 3 if it were possible, but I wanted to review it all. I need up to calc 3, an automatic math minor, to get a chemistry degree.

High cane! didn't you say you got suspended again? Didn't take too long this time.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-03-10T17:35:50-04:00
I got a poorly worded email from KS saying they were investigating me for "harassment" -- I pointed them to the Lix Dice page for reference -- and then that was the last I heard. No email saying things were okay, or why I was under suspension ... I suspect a sock account of the Lix guy reported me ...
Juha-Pekka Ahonen 2015-03-10T17:36:40-04:00

I don't know, they're making 5% of $20 million from a mediocre watch by an existing company. Wouldn't say they're that stupid.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-03-10T17:39:28-04:00
Juha, pretty much just integrals. Everything about them. And on this test you have several chances to pass, but need a near-perfect score and it's mandatory to pass, I make small mistakes like not knowing a negative can come from nowhere when you take the integral of 7/z^2. Seven over z squared. No negative there.
Juha-Pekka Ahonen 2015-03-10T17:43:07-04:00
Oh thats easy is because with integrals division is thought as ^-1
Juha-Pekka Ahonen 2015-03-10T17:45:16-04:00
NOO, I wasn't done writing!
So as i was saying in this case it like 7^(-1)*z^2 and then integrate it...though my memory is shady on which one was integrationg and which one derivating...
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-03-10T17:47:44-04:00
Integrals is the important part. The rest is a bit derivative.

i want 1. ie to be #1. Need to train more minions to do das crap
Now I need 150 more comments to secure a top 20 place I think
Good luck with that one Skunkeeten!
Regardless, we have only 83 people who have posted a comment per day average. I wouldn't say 12,000 people are "active". I don't know what the threshold is, whether it's 10 comments or 1 per day, or whatever... but it's not 12,000 people.
We got a max of ten thousand comments out of the draw day really.
Montage!!!!
Dun dun dun dun. Montage! Man I'm bad at making montages. I should just stop
I'm at 22.98 comments per day. I need to work harder to get to one comment per hour.
So how long is it going to jake before cheetah butt makes me a email account
So how long is it going to jake before cheetah butt makes me a email account
Wow I'm a chat monster.
He'll get to it as soon as he can Derp. He has been busy the last day or two so it may take a moment.
Oh
Well I'm off to go see if I can watch a Disney movie on Netflix
I will ask him about it if I see him on Derp. You will get it, don't worry!
He's got life, you see. Heard of that old wives tale?
Ok talk to you later Derp!
What if cats could blow boogers?
Have.... life? What is this [life] you speak of Tsveta?
I've seen cats blow some gnarly boogers.... ever been sneeze on by a cat from above?
Think old wives tell tales of long lives they have lived. But they got to be so old that they sleep when they tell the tales. Atleast they got no tails..
A tiger sneeze should be formidable.
I have no idea Derp. It's a myth that nobody knows who started it.
Always thought Jesus was a cat. Coz he so wise and calm
If they had tails they would be prehensile and they would hold you with them so you listen to the dream.
Not a nice picture eh?
These are always my favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch…
roomba cats.. the wives got to tell tales
Roomba cats. Nerves of steel.
Okay. Who broke Kickstarter today?
Apple. They put up a KS to launch their stupid watch.
Finally able to eat. So delicious.
lucky. Didn't get lunch today. Bad day to bring in a jar of freshly baked cookies. I've had like 6. :(
....remember mapquest?
...And now to put it on hold for more BS that has been screwed with
Tchotchke- why is that a bad day?
Because I'm so fat. :'(
So.. I am back.. I see you all had some fun with statistics :-)
Wooohoo.. not a biggie, Dr. P.? I just received the mail you forwarded and it is kinda... epic.
It is GC! Feel free to join in! Or to tell us to take you off, that's up to you!
Well I was down playing it HERE obviously....
I always have fun with statistics.

Well, why aren't you?
Well I was going to ask a question but I can see that would be a mistake. 1,000-2,000 comments. Seriously?
