The Nineteenth Byte

Biomedical engineering. I might not attend GA Tech, however, because an in-state school has offered a pretty much full-ride, and I like not being in debt.

debt = slavery
knowledge = freedom

Sounds good.

TheBestOne

Did you guys change the strategy?

PhiNotPi

It appears that going from mixed 3s & 4s to all 4s is a matter of luck.

DigitalTrauma

don't vote for something that just dropped unless no other choice?

TheBestOne

It looks like we're doing Qua -> As -> Us -> Que

PhiNotPi

We pretty much have to keep cycling until we get a lucky break.

Wow. Anime is doing quite good.

Rainbolt

Are they? Are they doing good?

DigitalTrauma

the endgame is quite tedious

PhiNotPi

Quality seems to drop like a rock sometimes.

We might be able to graduate in 30 more days at this rate.

Rainbolt

"Progress towards winning the internet" should say "Progress towards winning the Internet".

An internet. The Internet.

Calvin's Hobbies

I wish the overall winner actually got to graduate. We seem so close.

10 Questions a day seems unrealistic for a challenge site that demands such quality.

Calvin's Hobbies

Right. Out site format is very different than others

BrainSteel

What do we get at graduation?

Rainbolt

A new theme. Different reputation requirements. That's about it.

PhiNotPi

Increase rep requirements and new cover art.

Rainbolt

Yea that too.

throws a shuriken at PhiNotPi

BrainSteel

9:49 PM

And removal of the word "Beta," eh?

PhiNotPi

Yeah.

I don't really want increased rep requirements.

BrainSteel

Me either...

My rep is low enough as it is :(

PhiNotPi

New cover art, I could like. Maybe. I hope they don't overdo the "golf" theme.

BrainSteel

That has potential to be obnoxious.

Geobits

This game would've been so much more fun if the initial reaction was "PPCG is attacking our egg. Rally the troops!" instead of "PPCG is a bunch of nasty cheaters".

I agree.

Raiding can be a valid game mechanic.

BrainSteel

Wait, what happened?

Runer112

holy crap guys this is amazing

PhiNotPi

:)

Runer112

this might be a record

we must've discovered some awesome trick

it looks like we tricked it into never decreasing questions or users lol

PhiNotPi

It's called "sacrificing our userbase."

Runer112

9:55 PM

I mean, we've just been alternating answer and downvote

Calvin's Hobbies

@Runer112 Careful or we'll be accused of cheating again...

Runer112

and it's been working beautifully

BrainSteel

And yet, our users are always happy.

Runer112

I'd hardly call this cheating

this is just theoptimal strategy

d'oh, questions fell

Doorknob

@BrainSteel If only real moderation worked that way.

Calvin's Hobbies

9:56 PM

I know. I wouldn't call raiding cheating either :P

Runer112

get your screencappers ready

BrainSteel

Hahaha, PPCG users seem pretty happy most the time, too!

Rainbolt

I love how sometimes one user will immediately pick the wrong thing... two second pause... then BOOM we all realize at the same time what the right thing was

Calvin's Hobbies

Someone at SE had to consider that raiding was a possibility. If they didn't want it to be possible they would have made it impossible.

Runer112

who's taking a screenshot of the win day

Rainbolt

9:58 PM

I will

Someone else should too

TheBestOne

I think we might have a raider.

Rainbolt

We just did a 14 unanymous vote
