Juha-Pekka Ahonen 2015-03-16T14:40:26-04:00
LZ, it's good you have a good position and still keep going on, I feel mixed feelings as I want to get someplay decks and organize the event, as on one hand they have said that they want international people (if you don't count all the canadian's who beat me) and I'm the top one at the moment for that, but then again my standing on numbers #14th is dangerously low as no one knows how many decks are they sharing, I'm on the moment trying to negociate a second location in Capital city to get more people like my video
Mike Kabala 2015-03-16T14:41:41-04:00
Yay, my script is now detecting multiple tweets for the same YouTube video and automatically blacklisting all but one! That's one less maintenance annoyance for me.
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-03-16T14:41:54-04:00
LZ, Edwin apllication issue resolved as of now, will be active in the next update.
Intracontinental* ... wait, both apply here which one do I mean...
Mike Kabala 2015-03-16T14:46:49-04:00
@LZ, his hashtag is actually #KittenConsul! instead of #KittenConsul and that might be why it isn't getting picked up. I have a special script to add these outliers. Give me a couple of minutes and he will be added. Thanks.
Within N. America... oh, wait that technically answers my question. Meaning intercontinental didn't apply in this case after all did it? Stupid english language and it's ridiculously similar sounding/meaning words.....
Mike Kabala 2015-03-16T14:51:54-04:00
OK, They've been added. ... Now there are FOUR entries from Vancouver, BC. Maybe we should host KittenCon there!
@LZ: Does that mean everything will come to pass at Trenzalore?
Mike Kabala 2015-03-16T15:43:32-04:00
I was busy changing the KittenConsul display script ... again.
Now it defaults to sort by location and you have to click the link to get sorted by Likes.
@Potatten, just trying to keep EK happy. It's easy enough to switch. If you prefer the other way, click on the link and then copy the URL that shows up. Subnitting that link will always show you the list the way you want it. I'm really jazzed that they like the formatting.

Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-16T16:05:47-04:00
Have you asked your friends and family, one by one, via facebook? Posted in local area forums that you plan on doing multiple kitten exploding parties?
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-16T16:09:47-04:00
You could make a reddit post for your local area as well. Saying that you plan on doing multiple test parties for those that might be interested. (Careful you say exactly what you mean and how much party is available, just don't get in over your head.) You could also talk to another gaming store unless you have gaming store loyalty to that one.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-03-16T16:32:10-04:00
I think I shall have a taco salad for dinner.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-03-16T16:42:02-04:00

Mike Kabala 2015-03-16T16:44:53-04:00
OK, I thought I should get around to reporting how many total, de-duped, non-blacklisted entries we've gotten so I added that o the script. It also tells you which records are displayed in paged mode.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-03-16T17:01:17-04:00
@Geist: Proper training also helps to move mountains.
@Derp: Yeah, there is little to live for, except the experience of living.
Epicderpguy 2015-03-16T17:32:53-04:00
@owen the only think to live for is the EK game but besides that not much else
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-03-16T17:35:42-04:00
Damn. The Storm Crow Tavern is just spamming the hell out of the #KittenConsul hashtag. I wonder if that helps them or pisses people off?
Epicderpguy 2015-03-16T17:37:41-04:00
It most likely does both
Mike Kabala 2015-03-16T17:40:06-04:00
@PoT, that's why I added automatic blacklisting to the script. It was just too much effort to keep up with multiple tweets for the same video. There's no rule against it, but I needed to eliminate the clutter.
Depending on how often they send out a tweet for it, or message or whatever, I personally think that spamming it constantly should count against them somehow.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-16T17:50:12-04:00
Oh no! I've fallen to 7th place!!
Mike Kabala 2015-03-16T18:01:07-04:00
@GM, I'm sure it does count against them. Remember, the EK team ultimately makes the final decision.
True, they do make the final decision....but aren't they also wanting us to help with making sure people are following the rules/regulations, and helping them get their videos to be able to be voted on/counting properly?
Mike Kabala 2015-03-16T18:26:00-04:00
good point, GM. also, all it takes is a request from the EK team and I can blacklist ANY entry. They also follow these comments.
@Derp: The evil good one. You know, the one that is so evil it's good for the universe? Destroy all, recreate in a peaceful state....takes a few million tries to get it right. Why do you think the Earth is so "old"? It actually gets recreated from the last point every Dec 31.
Epicderpguy 2015-03-16T18:40:10-04:00
Oh that explains a lot
Mike Kabala 2015-03-16T18:41:59-04:00
There's a video for a play test party in New York City, but they forgot to put @gameofkittens in their post. http://bit.ly/1MGr0dn
I'll wait a while and see if they correct their mistake before adding it manually.
I'm keeping an eye on the likes and watching for funny business too. I have a running daily total so that I can monitor it. That spam stuff is not very cool though I must admit. It's one thing to post in multiple places and use different media, but spamming the same media is just trying to Bogart the top of the list instead of letting new posts flow in. They should stop. We didn't tolerate spammed in here it shouldn't fly for this challenge.
Do post your tweet again though LE and makes sure that @gameofkittens is not the first word! This will make it more public. I had to go to your page to find your tweet. This will help you out.
@GC, glad I could help.
Edwin's video isn't appearing on the leader boards. He meets all the criteria. https://twitter.com/edwiersma/status/577178245126225920
Ok, done... please have a lokk at it: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23263053/EK/kittenconsul.html
@LZ... It is indeed. I do like the animated and drawing based vids myself, The one with the blue hotdog is amazing.
LZ, it's good you have a good position and still keep going on, I feel mixed feelings as I want to get someplay decks and organize the event, as on one hand they have said that they want international people (if you don't count all the canadian's who beat me) and I'm the top one at the moment for that, but then again my standing on numbers #14th is dangerously low as no one knows how many decks are they sharing, I'm on the moment trying to negociate a second location in Capital city to get more people like my video
Yay, my script is now detecting multiple tweets for the same YouTube video and automatically blacklisting all but one! That's one less maintenance annoyance for me.
LZ, Edwin apllication issue resolved as of now, will be active in the next update.
Canada isn't international, it's intercontinental (though tell that to the postal authorities and that pesky border control).
Intracontinental* ... wait, both apply here which one do I mean...
@LZ, his hashtag is actually #KittenConsul! instead of #KittenConsul and that might be why it isn't getting picked up. I have a special script to add these outliers. Give me a couple of minutes and he will be added. Thanks.
Like North and South America? :)
Indeed that is a good find and a great fix!
Thanks, GC and CB!
Within N. America... oh, wait that technically answers my question. Meaning intercontinental didn't apply in this case after all did it? Stupid english language and it's ridiculously similar sounding/meaning words.....
OK, They've been added. ... Now there are FOUR entries from Vancouver, BC. Maybe we should host KittenCon there!
It would clearly be the talk of the nerdy part of town there....
I hope the hourly update will have all problems resolved... and to think that I *could* be getting paid for this ;-)
You're the best unpaid admin ever.
And I really hope it will stay this way :-)
Nothing beats eating lunch at...1:15pm...okay, eating it at about noon would be better...but at least I'm eating, right? :(
Already 4 entries from Vancouver... this has to be the north american capital of card gaming...
They all hold spots in the top 13 too on the likes counter.
We certainly have a large number of very good videos though. I didn't think there would be this many heavy hitters!
Did the comments get busted again, or did Silence fall?
The question was asked and the silence fell
dun dun dun!
@LZ: Does that mean everything will come to pass at Trenzalore?
I was busy changing the KittenConsul display script ... again.
Now it defaults to sort by location and you have to click the link to get sorted by Likes.
So it would seem LZ, so it would seem.
That seems most legitimate a thing indeed CB!
@Potatten, just trying to keep EK happy. It's easy enough to switch. If you prefer the other way, click on the link and then copy the URL that shows up. Subnitting that link will always show you the list the way you want it. I'm really jazzed that they like the formatting.

I've been trying
So use to the Cheetah Butt!
Have you asked your friends and family, one by one, via facebook? Posted in local area forums that you plan on doing multiple kitten exploding parties?
I have done some of that
Asked your gaming shop to feature you prominently on their own FB page, advertising your event to those that might be interested in a game night?
She has done that
Did she? I didn't notice it when I last looked on their FB or on there events (I was trying to see where I could plug you earlier).
Actually, I think it was her personal fb
You could make a reddit post for your local area as well. Saying that you plan on doing multiple test parties for those that might be interested. (Careful you say exactly what you mean and how much party is available, just don't get in over your head.) You could also talk to another gaming store unless you have gaming store loyalty to that one.
Well that's an idea. You could ask her if she could list it as a small local event.
Remember, you can Like more than one video, so please like all of the KittenCorps submissions.
I have been CB!
@General Calculus, I like the way you formatted the location info on your HTML page. Looks great!
Nope, I'm looking into having obe or two in Kaysville, but those stores are being kind of wishy washy
OK, be back later guys!

Some cheesecake for dessert.
@Geist: Oreo cheesecake? Or coconut?
Neither. The Lemon Raspberry Cream Cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory is heaven on earth.
Dang. I made myself hungry. I might have to stop by and get this tonight.
Well well. We got quiet really quick. Where is everyone hiding at?
WGERE ARE YOU GUYS!
Buried under a mountain, the keeps growing, of payroll and payroll related issues.
Don't die on my now you have so little to live for
I'll say a few Hail Marys for the mountain that GM is under. They say faith can move a mountain.
