Sigs are allowed. I'd appreciate it if you'd stop correcting people about that. It's my thread: if someone makes a mistake I'll let them know.hey wizey, no sig.
A Captain wasn't, Olimar is. When in doubt, be as specific as possible.Friday-Character-A Captain.
If that isn't specific enough, then Olimar.
You can most definately guess a double post.i say double post sub space stuff adn character
wait can i do that?
if not then sub space
WHAT A SEGWAY!!Whoareyou? if you guess double update and it isnt a double update and you guess one right shouldnt you get 0 points since it wasnt a double update cuz if its not like that you could just guess double update everytime to get alot of points.
The one thing I do think is if you guess a double post and it's a single post you shouldn't get any points even if you get it correct. Maybe give one point for guessing double post and another point for each category you guess right?WHAT A SEGWAY!!
Hmm... that is true.0 points though is going a bit too far. You did guess it after all. In the past I have been giving two points for a correct double guess in a single post... So far no one has abused the rules, although the potential is there...Hm...that is a conundrum.
I am monitoring the way people guess. So far no one has really realized that loophole and started to abuse it. But nevertheless, it's still a loophole.
I'll open up discussions. I'm fine with leaving it the way it is and watching for people taking advantage of the loophole. However that leaves the door open for the occasional loophole abuse. So this way must be changed. Perhaps an exact guess in a double post would be worth one point if it were a single. If anyone else has any better ideas, please feel free to share. In the meantime I'll keep things the way they are and watch for people taking advantage of the system.
You know I've been meaning to change the way double posts are counted. I figure, make double post scores count the same way as triple posts, where the two highest scores count. Otherwise it'd be possible for someone who would only have received 1 point on a double post to receive 2 on a triple, even if the extra post doesn't matter.
If no one has any objections I'll start this method on the next double update.
I'll concur with thatPersonally, I say those who predict a double update should get zero if they guess one category wrong. Otherwise it's just too easy. EX: "I predict a quadruple update: music, character, game modes & items."
In the interests of fairness Who?AreYou, you should wait until after tonight's update before enforcing the rule. That's my two cents.
I'm pretty sure that if you were to guess a quadruple update, each time you get something right you get 25% the normal. So if you guesses character -> wolf, music -> metroid, game mode -> adventure mode, and stage -> mario kart and the next update were Mario Music, you would get .25 points which would round down to 0. However, if it were metroid music(.5 for correct update) AND zelda's final smash(.25 for right category) you'd get .75 points which rounds up to 1.Personally, I say those who predict a double update should get zero if they guess one category wrong. Otherwise it's just too easy. EX: "I predict a quadruple update: music, character, game modes & items."
