Game 1: Unscreened

Aug 02, 2004 00:25

Since I did not have something like 12 hours to try to freeze every single thread, and screening didn't work, the first game is unscreened again.  All comments are readable and replyable again except for the first few threads which are frozen ( Read more... )

Yay! Umm. Wait. My screened guess is still screened from the first game. The background of the comment is grey instead of blue, and I can't reply to it (I tested), because it says I don't have permission to reply to screened comments.

I'm not trying to criticize anyone. I know running this community is a huge undertaking. I also know I owe 18 quotes so far, and that number could double with my six guesses outstanding. (I'm intending to hold off, bank what I get from this game, and post in the next game, since this game (having been running for a week) is already very large and unwieldy; I've kept track of my guesses (I have links to all of my comments stored an a file), and I keep checking them, so I know my bookkeeping will be okay.) We have exponential growth in here just by virtue of the way the rules run; a start with 10 quotes becomes 30, then 90, then 270. If every quote from one day gets guessed correctly and the three quotes aren't posted until the next day, by the seventh day there would be 7290 outstanding quotes. In some ways we're not that efficiant, because the acknowledgements don't come that fast, and becoause the response three aren't always that fast either. But sometimes they are faster.

My hat is off to indigoskynet for even trying, let alone succeeding, in running this.
Thank you.

I'm glad everybody's having fun with it.

Your thread should be unscreened this time. I unscreened all the comments in the thread, I think.

I didn't expect the game to get this popular this fast. I should've. The games always did well on my LJ and on trollprincess, and now we've combined the player groups.
