**CCCC** here is similar to that in the Sphinx Lair: A user posts a cryptic clue. The one who solves it make up the next. A chain is thus formed. However, due to the small population in this room, a SPOIL ANSWER option is added. When half or more of the players in the game agree on spoiling, the OP will spoil the answer. The first one to request a spoil will get to make the next clue.
**Joining the game:** When a new user answers a clue, they will automatically become part of the list
**Players in the game: (in alphabetical order)** @Dmihawk @jafe @MrPie @OmegaKrypton @PiIsNot3
I really need to get back into the puzzle-making groove... :( the problem I have is that I psyche myself up too much and focus on trying to create spectacular puzzles
does anyone else have that problem, or is it just me?
Basically what's documented here:
What formula should be used to determine "hot" questions?
We have a few tweaks:
Successive questions from the same site are penalized by increasing amounts. So, the first question from SO in the list gets multiplied by 1.0, the second by 0.98, the third ...
@Dmihawk Yeah, I think so too, probably cause PSE's a lot smaller than many of the more popular sites, and there's a core set of users that are active on a daily basis, so there's a greater sense of community
@PiIsNot3 I think that's such a wonderful thing :) in stark contrast to some of the more toxic online communities that have evolved (I'm looking at you, YouTube comments)
@Dmihawk Heh, I've been online enough to know when to proceed to the nearest exit :) Although I'm not sure you can really call YouTube comments a "community"? More like a jumbled mess of unintelligible words and people desperately trying to be funny
@OmegaKrypton that's good to hear! all good on this end, not much really happens in this part of the world so "business as usual" is almost always the order of the day
I recently learned that my US geography is quite terrible. We had a new guy join our company a few weeks ago and he's from Georgia. It took me by considerable surprise that Georgia neighbours Florida! If you'd have asked me, I'd have put it waaaaaay more mid-west
OK well I've gotta go now, ping me if any of you want a hint to the CCCC or can solve it (preferably the latter), and hope you all have a good day/night/I don't know the standard greeting abbreviation
