So I think purposefully aiming wrong could be a strategy here

For example if you aim at G7; 1 is 10 points, 2 is 0 points, and 0 is 0 points

But if you aim and G6 and aim for a 2; 2 is 10 points, 3 is 5 points, and 1 is 4 points

Also, it would put the correct shot and the complete miss fire shot apart from each other

I agree with this. It allows for the most profitable margin of error should you not hit the exact second you're trying for.

Most important thing is for everyone to practice and say what their level of confidence is so we can put our best shooters last.

It's taking anywhere from 2 to 5 seconds for my posts to hit the board from the time I click, so I'll need to lead my shot and have a target where there's a healthy range of decent outcomes. I'd definitely like to be aiming for the 3 to 5 second area so I'm not in danger of lagging all the way to a 0.

If it's consistently 2-5 seconds that's fortuantely only a 3 seconds range at least. Anyway, performing some test shots then I shall get on my responses to everyone.

Here to report I should be at the back of the order. 8/12 of my shots were at the exact right second, 4 of them being 1 second after where I intended.

Example: 8

Look at this guy calling his shot like Babe Ruth. I am hitting post at what should be 0 seconds. Let's see how we do....

Hmmm, I may try to help my aim. Checking the rules taking a shot at the center will either be a 15 or a 1 with my accuracy. I don't mind taking a risk and shooting soon if y'all prefer, since i think once the center is done everything else is grouped to have at least decent misses. Will try another 10 attempts in my confessional to gauge my confidence on such a move.

Young Writer · « **Reply #56 on:** September 06, 2021, 12:51:55 am »

9/10 were accurate. I think I have this down.

Test: 5

Young Writer · « **Reply #57 on:** September 06, 2021, 01:01:47 am »

Another 9/10. I think it's worth risking the 1/10 for a 1 to get the 15 done and make everything easier, also I'm not sure how long this proper headspace will last.

Test: 7

Anthony Adams · « **Reply #58 on:** September 06, 2021, 01:43:25 am »

We should also keep track of how much we are 1 second off like writer

Will be practicing when I get home

Kylie · « **Reply #59 on:** September 06, 2021, 01:46:31 am »

I'd like to try and shoot at the middle, if that's ok!

If someone else feels like they can do it, I don't mind switchying.

Young Writer · « **Reply #60 on:** September 06, 2021, 01:47:52 am »

I just got 10 in a row, though I did have to recalibrate my aim a bit before that. I will try to be around late as if we are fine with me shooting for 15, it is best to have it happen at the very end based on the tiebreaker.

Test: 2

Herman Blume · « **Reply #61 on:** September 06, 2021, 02:00:07 am »

Yes, you seem to be the best shot so I think having you aim at the bullseye last makes the most sense. Should we start making a shooting order and get this going?

Oracle · « **Reply #62 on:** September 06, 2021, 02:02:06 am »

I'm awake now. Weren't we going to do some practice or discuss strategy first?

Anthony Adams · « **Reply #63 on:** September 06, 2021, 02:02:21 am »

If anyone wants to go between a 2 second margin they can go for one of the 9-6 spots

Oracle · « **Reply #64 on:** September 06, 2021, 02:03:43 am »

Wait I'm confused, where are we practicing or attempting this?

Anthony Adams · « **Reply #65 on:** September 06, 2021, 02:06:27 am »

Um both?

We have to do this today

I made a thread in my confessional for it

Test: 8

Young Writer · « **Reply #67 on:** September 06, 2021, 02:08:59 am »

The official attempt needs to be in the public thread though.

Oracle · « **Reply #68 on:** September 06, 2021, 02:10:09 am »

Okay so I'm happy to do stuff, but I need someone to describe what's the strategy here or how to do this.

I just post once for something, and then post again for something to be clear?

Anthony Adams · « **Reply #69 on:** September 06, 2021, 02:10:26 am »

It's one post?

Oracle · « **Reply #70 on:** September 06, 2021, 02:14:38 am »

So I get that to aim you post

D2 or whatever, but what do you do to fire? That doesn't inherently make sense to me.

Young Writer · « **Reply #71 on:** September 06, 2021, 02:16:18 am »

So to fire you just post. The seconds on the timestamp of your post determines what happens.

Young Writer · « **Reply #72 on:** September 06, 2021, 02:16:51 am »

So for example if I were to go:

D2

So for example if I were to go:

D2

Oh okay so that would have been a spot on D2 due to the number ending in :51?

Young Writer · « **Reply #74 on:** September 06, 2021, 02:17:58 am »

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.

Congratulations…
