The Points Game

[Mandle]

Solution: It's the last two digits of the id of the message.

I.e: this post is msg=636546255 so it's worth 55 points.

EXACTLY!!!

Over to you CaeserCub, if you wish to host a round...

[CaesarCub]

Nah, I'll let someone else host.

[Mandle]

Okay....first taker then?

[Cassiebsg]

I still can't remember my evil one... so I'll make a new one (not evil)...

CaesarCub: 4 pts
Mandle: 19 pts

Solution: Is it the count of letters and/or symbols (not including . and ,) up until the first apostrophe (or possibly the first l)?

[Cassiebsg]

Mandle: Nope

[Mandle]

Hmmm

[Stupot]

Hey. Did we really go the whole of the last round without any squirrels?

It's been a while, but squirrels are pointers in the right direction from the host if I remember?

I wouldn't do anything like that unless my round got so ridiculous that I realised that it couldn't possibly be solved without hints in the right direction...And I would feel bad for having to do that as it would tell me that my rules had been unfair and had been flawed from the outset... For me, the game has always been about the players fighting against a host who should act like a machine in how they dole out the points, and the host's rule should be simple and solvable without any other feedback other than the bruteforce post-then-points feedback...

For example: My last round was quite hard to solve it seems, but all it really needed for someone to solve it was for that person to click on the "quote" button above a post and look at the numbers, which I felt someone would figure out given the feedback of resetting every 100 points but not within any kind of logical time frame: It only depended on how often anyone else posted on AGS forums. I was a bit disappointed that the strategy of posting a lot of posts within the same minute did not lead to more confusion by somebody just happening to post on another thread in between, and then the count would have jumped by 2 instead of 1... That would have been funny to see...

(Cassie this is just a reflective post and no need to do the point count if it's too long ...You know the game as well so you probably saw what I just did there though...)
