Challenge 3 Discussion Thread

[Peter Whitman]

we could post really high numbers that are multiples of three

and we could assign people to give fake ones if we think they're going to the offensive to snipe us.

numbers dont matter

if we trick them into quoting a multiple of 4 or something it matters

how so? I thought the numbers were just placeholders?

[Klaus Daimler]

idk how that was butchered so bad.

but yeah.

[Max Fischer]

So we have:

Buckley
Klaus
Me
Peter
Max?

competing

right?

Yep, I'm here. I think with my lag I should post numbers. Are we going with the high ones, and how will we coordinate fakes?

[Peter Whitman]

Points will be earned or lost as follows:
+1 point for landing the first blow ("Here's your belt"). The first post containing a number on page 10 will earn the poster's tribe 1 point.
+3 points for being the first to quote onto the same thread page for each live round post that is a multiple of three.
-3 points for any post that quotes onto the same thread page for each live round post that is not a multiple of three.

[Buckley]

we could quote 4 and page 10 and still get points. the post numbers matter for the +3 and -3

This was clarified by the mods to be incorrect; what matters is the numbers that are posted and whether they are multiples of 3. Your post number in the thread doesn't matter

[Margot Tenenbaum]

I should have good enough latency to be a quoter

[Peter Whitman]

so +1 for any number

+3 for posting on the thread for a live round with the post number being a multiple of three right

[Buckley]

So

if you post '3' and someone quotes you, they get 3 points
if you post '4' and someone quotes you, they lose 3 points

post number in the thread itself doesn't matter

[Margot Tenenbaum]

so +1 for any number

+3 for posting on the thread for a live round with the post number being a multiple of three right

first post and first empty quote

[Wes Anderson]

we could quote 4 and page 10 and still get points. the post numbers matter for the +3 and -3

oh shit I thought the post numbers didn't matter at all

They don’t. The number in the post matters.

[Peter Whitman]

oh ok didnt see that, so I'll just post numbers.

10,333 is NOT. a multiple of 3 so I'm doing that baby.

[Margot Tenenbaum]

oh right its just quotes

[Peter Whitman]

10335 is a multiple of 3 so feel free to quote that one :)

[Peter Whitman]

so people that were paying attention... how did we do? we got all page tops which was nice

[Klaus Daimler]

yooo i'm pretty sure we won. Margot with the snipes was insane.

[Margot Tenenbaum]

so i completely misunderstood the directions for page 10

but i think i did better on pages 15 and 20

we'll see how things go

[Buckley]

Margot played that really well

[Buckley]

I saw lots of preview text

[Steve Zissou]

I think we did good?  I really have no idea what the fuck was going on

[Klaus Daimler]

We won 3/3 page tops

and 2/3 quotes.

they also quoted something that wasn't a multiple of 3 so that point was moot.

I think we have a really good chance

[Madame D.]

You all did amazing <3

[Margot Tenenbaum]

Sorry everyone :( that sucks
