According to the explicit rules, I was not wrong. Implied, I was.

I was highlighting the loopholes in what I thought was a fun way. In the end you are right in that it did cause confusion.

I didn't find you rude at all btw, it was just a difference in opinion. :)

  First of all, if this post is harsh, then I apologize for that. It is not my intention to be rude!

Technically, a triple post is a double post followed by a single post. Thus one could argue that the third post should count, as it is not part of a double post, but claiming that all three posts should count is rather nonsensical.

Furthermore, let's look at an analogous case: If you are not allowed to count to 2, you cannot legally count to 3 either, because you first had to count to 2. This means that even though counting the 3 is in itself not explicitly illegal, you have broken the rules by counting the 2. And in this game, if the 2 is illegal, so is the 3.

As for the other case of whether or not members have a choice of counting negative numbers: Rule #1 of the game is to count as high as you can. That means you shouln't be counting negative numbers. However, the rules state that members can post numbers lower than 0, and in such cases, it's an automatic 0. I agree this could (and should) be phrased more clearly, but I do not think your interpretation is valid, mainly because it would violate rule #1.

As you understand, I disagree with your statement that what you did was not wrong. I also do not find this kind of light-hearted humour all too funny. It is rather pointless and annoying to me.

  @Ferrari12: I understand. It was meant to be light-hearted humour. The rule for members was not explicitly stated, it was implied, and that was why I bent the rules, to show that this was the case, but in a light-hearted manner.

Treazer was correct, as the rules do not explicitly state that users do not have a choice. Also, I can triple post as only double posting was again explicitly stated, rather than saying. You are only allowed one post until another user posts. These are only loopholes, but they are legal within the game's rules defined within the first post. This was why I triple posted with the message "Can I triple post?", again in a light-hearted manner. In fact, I didn't even count in that instance.

I won't do it again, but it doesn't in any way suggest what I was doing wasn't wrong. The point I was trying to make was to get the rules changed so they had no loopholes, which is hard to do, I know, but we live and learn.

  Manufan: I do not appreciate your attempts at bending the rules set for the game. Such unnecessary and pointless behavior serves no purpose other than causing confusion, and it was the sole reason why admins weren't allowed to count downwards for a long time. Please stop doing it!

Regardless, I think the rules are pretty clear, stating that Manufan's comment counts as a 0. "If an admin posts and the number is higher that 0 it's an automatic 0. [...] Members can do the same thing with negative numbers." can in my mind only mean "If a normal member posts and the number is lower than 0 it's an automatic 0."

-1

  Not really, SuperDog. They can, but don't have to, so it's a choice. And as manufan's comment didn't imply 0, he chose to not reset.

  "If an admin posts and the number is higher than 0 it's an automatic 0. [...] Members can do the same thing with negative numbers."

Technically manufan's comment counts as a 0 here, so I will go with 1.
Treazer 9 years ago
  As it's a choice, and -5 doesn't imply 0, I'll skip the comment. :p

  The rules are simple, try to count as high as you can before an admin posts!
Rules:
You can only post one number in each message.
No doubleposts.

When you missed a number, you go back to the last correct number, example:
1
2
3
3
Next count should be 4 NOT 5.

Not only direct, but also indirect RIGHT numbers count as one number.
As long as it implies that number.

If an admin posts and the number is higher than 0 it's an automatic 0. Else they reduce one point.
Members do the opposite thing.


List of special members:
Chris3000: Adds 2.
Treazer: Subtract 3.
Gameinsky: Subtract 4.

People get these by being a multiple of the 10 000th post.



Here is the list of valid admins:
