well I look at the seconds (51) which means it's an X1

which according to the chart is a Direct Hit! so we get D2 marked off. BUT if instead that was at 52 it'd miss low and hit D3.

Thank you for taking the time to help me figure that out. I'm going to go practice for a bit in my confessional, promise I won't take long.

So I may have just figured out a strategy. I'm going to use my next post to test, make sure this is somehow not against the rules and then share.

If this works, buy me a bone

Oracle · « **Reply #78 on:** September 06, 2021, 02:23:41 am »

Perhaps the 2nd time is the charm?

Oracle · « **Reply #79 on:** September 06, 2021, 02:25:31 am »

Just to be sure that last one wasn't a fluke.

Okay so I'm not sure if this is allowed, but I actually figured out how to sync up my shots with the board timer.

My issue remains that my net lag is inconsistent so I'm not going to be aiming for one of the high priority targets that needs a direct hit and I'd like to go early in the rotation so you folks with better aim potential can avoid wherever I hit

Young Writer · « **Reply #82 on:** September 06, 2021, 02:29:10 am »

Based on a clock being allowed using the board timer is almost certainly even more allowed. I tend to use https://time.is/

Which if it isn't allowed for the actual attempt the mods should likely tell me.

Test shot

Oracle · « **Reply #84 on:** September 06, 2021, 02:30:33 am »

Oh yeah using the board timer to sync this is easy. I just got 3/4, though I was a little trigger happy the first time I tried it because I was excited this was working.

Tail wag, bark bark.

Young Writer · « **Reply #85 on:** September 06, 2021, 02:35:55 am »

I am off for a couple hours, I think I got almost everyone but I will be back around like an hour and a half before deadline, we should likely have people start taking shots relatively soon.

Oracle · « **Reply #86 on:** September 06, 2021, 02:37:10 am »

Yeah I can pretty consistently get that magic number. I just have to not get trigger happy. I'm ready to do this.

How I did the timer sync on the board, was that I was in my confessional and figured out what numbers correspond to the numbers that show up when I post.

So for example if at :x7 seconds I clicked "post" and got a time that ended in :x3, then I would know I needed to press "post" at :x9 in order to get a time that ends in :x1.

Not very complicated, what I will say is because of delay I had to wait a fracture of a second or so before posting so I didn't get the accidental :x0 time.

As a test post, TEST

Anthony Adams · « **Reply #88 on:** September 06, 2021, 02:49:16 am »

when it actually let me post I got 3 1s, 1 2, and 1 6 because my internet is terrible, but now it's starting to block my posts :I

Sam Shakusky · « **Reply #89 on:** September 06, 2021, 02:50:01 am »

Only got the time to peak my head right now.

The planning looks good, I had been planning to use the board timer as well.

I'll shoot and catch up on messages like an hour before deadline. I don't want to be shooting the bullseye but other than that I'm good with whatever.

Test: 1

Oracle · « **Reply #90 on:** September 06, 2021, 02:50:01 am »

Oh no that's not great.

Test post 2

Oracle · « **Reply #91 on:** September 06, 2021, 02:52:01 am »

Test post bullseye!

Herman Blume · « **Reply #92 on:** September 06, 2021, 02:56:40 am »

So based on what has been posted so far we have, I think, in no particular order yet:

Early shooters: me, Anthony, Richie, Kylie
Late shooters: Sam, Writer
Undecided: Oracle, Suzy, Gustave

Oracle · « **Reply #93 on:** September 06, 2021, 02:57:31 am »

I'm good to go whenever. Also I feel pretty confident I can nail this.

Anthony Adams · « **Reply #94 on:** September 06, 2021, 02:59:43 am »

I think I should go for the 9-6s at the moment, I hit 1 around 40% of the time but I can hit 1 or 2 80% of the time currently

Anthony Adams · « **Reply #95 on:** September 06, 2021, 03:01:22 am »

But it's getting close to deadline, so if it comes to it, we made need to shoot whenever available, even out of order

Oracle · « **Reply #96 on:** September 06, 2021, 03:07:41 am »

If no one else wants to go for the bullseye I'd be happy to do it.

Test: Bullseye bark bark!

This is fine! As long as you are submitting the post yourself and don’t have a script doing it for you, you’re good.

Suzy Bishop · « **Reply #98 on:** September 06, 2021, 03:41:27 am »

I’m ready to go whenever! I was using a different clock I found online but I’m going to practice with the timer suggested.

I think I can hit the bullseye most times as well.

Oracle · « **Reply #99 on:** September 06, 2021, 03:46:21 am »

So with the 1 target per person rules, we can get a maximum of 91 if I've mathed it correctly. 15 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9.

In my opinion, if you are not as confident maybe go for the 9s or 8s? If you are more confident and not going for the bullseye go for the 10s?

Just as a strategy thought.

Anyways I'm here till deadline. I'll go whenever.

Congratulations…
