2 points for 10 like reactions, you mean? the original post in this thread said that 10 reactions = 5 points so i want to confirm.

Sorry about that, I meant to say that strikes and reactions that gives 3+ reactions score adds on to the base points, which is 5.
For example, if someone got 10 likes, as you said, they will get 5 points. If that same person got 10 loves instead, they would get 7 reactions. On the contrary, if they got like 10 strikes or dumbs, they instead lose points, one for every 3 strikes. This penalty only takes into effect once they have 3 or more strikes.

okay, so say that day 1 starts at 00:00, and i send a message on day 1 at 02:00. would that message's reactions be counted at/around day 2 at 00:00? and any further reactions after day 2 at 00:00 would NOT be counted added to my points?

Once I count up the scores for the day, the messages during that day expire. I'll try to maintain a constant time period of when I do so, but keep in mind that school might be have some effect when it comes to scoring. I'd say that at around noon EDT is the cut off point. As for the actual question, the message at 02:00 will get counted as day one, and no, it would not be counted.

bruh the game hasn't begun? what have i even been doing in the CCT...

Don't blame the player, blame the game.

@yogurtman250 You're not slacking off on the Question of the Day thread, are you?

No no, don't worry.

Could use this thread, first document your current stats at the moment and then when asked for your number, present the newest ones.

we're only counting reactions from the thread of our choosing (everyone's gonna choose CCT though let's be honest), so reactions will have to be counted manually (by yogurt man) one way or another

Oh sorry, I kinda just skipped over everything once it got to the rules and all. And I'm choosing either the borgar or shitpost thread, I'm no chump like the rest of the Dexxers.

Yeah, it's going to be a pain...

(everyone's gonna choose CCT though let's be honest)

What if I made it so that CCT has a capacity?

ah okay that clears things up

okay, this all makes sense and is expected. only counting reactions on a message in its first ~24 hours is the best options, and having a relative cutoff point is good too.

...or juice. Which seems way more reasonable.

Light the match brother, we got a show to start.

After becoming a regular based on these requirements or having more than 1000 messages

I realized that having to research to make sure that someone is a newbie is annoying so I decided to assume that everyone who sent 1000+ messages or more is a regular.

hey @Kogane, how many points do i have?

So, is the game good for launch now or does it need more clarification? At the latest, the game starts at midnight EST, so good luck

i guess it's good for launch? kinda? maybe just do away with the colony/thread idea altogether and only count the CCT? (realistically you're not gonna get everyone declaring their colony/thread here although it could be a cool idea)

@yogurtman250
I think the biggest question of all is when are you doing this game show? Because doing it during April Fools seems like it might hamper the experience in my opinion. Everyone focus will be on that, and plus the reaction score will go up quite fast, making it easier.

I'm doing this on april fools day mainly because this was kinda supposed to be my april fools joke (the other idea was going to be so, so much worse) so the only reason i'll delay it is because it takes too long to make sure everyone is in.

maybe, maybe not i don't know. I'm kinda going leaning towards the "limit CCT" idea and make it so that everyone has to post a message in their colony everyday lmao

you'll definitely hamper participation if you enforce a 'different colony' rule. unless that's the intention. i don't know how long you want this to go on for. either way, any rule like this will give you fewer total players.

Oh well. I'll leave the colony just for the charm of it, but I won't do all that.

Okay, last thing before the actual games starts:
should I make the point gain requirements easier?
If so, what should I do?
Shorten the requirements to 5 reactions and keep the point gain
Give 2 points on the first half and 3 points on the second
Also, the special effects requirements are kept the same regardless of what choice is chosen

shortening the requirement to 5 reactions instead of 10 seems reasonable.

but how about we hear from our forum's resident thought leaders? @BakedBanana @Angry_Panda @Child_Trader @Itsukimoto
