Recreation Commons – Eleventh Floor: Orbital Skyhydrophonics Bar

[Method]

You don't spam Apolyton/Community anymore?

[Jamski]

No, very rarely. Its all just re-runs of tired old theme, and I can't be arsed. Its better to at least have some kind of "theme" to a thread, and post something interesting. Who wants/needs to read a page of +1's and add another at the end?

As for this thread? This is the soul of the ACDG, this is how we all learn to know each other a bit better, and HOPEFULLY it keeps all the non-game-related crap in one place.

That's my take anyway, but I am extremely laid back about everything except unstylish spam, (and those damn people who think I spam for some reason )

Well, yeah. I was so paranoid in Rec Commons I, afraid that Ming would show up one day and ban us all. But that hasn't happened yet, and i stopped caring about my post count shortly after I hit emperor, realising that I had nothing more to strive for (short of deity, which i hope I never reach)

[Jamski]

If I even get there I'm going to ask Marko to change it to "Transcendi"

Never really got into the whole "Deity" thing with Civ.

Although let's be honest here, I only post in 4 forums. ACDG, CyCon, SMAC General/Strategy and Other Games. I could get my hands on all kinds of other forums here if I really wanted to boost my PC. However... why would I want to discuss Civ?

Yeah, we're only where again?

/me looks at upper left corner...

Just a Apolyton Civilization Site

That's right... bring in that whole Civ vs. SMAX thing again!

Just talked a friend into buying SMAC/SMAX recently and after playing it I think he's uninstalled his Civ3: Conquests...

now _there_ is an idea, spamski. I wonder if I can convince Ming to set my title to "Thinker"

I don't think that list is correct. Despite making 31 posts on the 9th floor my total PC has not changed according to the lists.

Oops sorry, definitely not right. I saw two HongHu's. Hmmm...

Ok I'll redo it.

[Snowflake]

Ok stat edited. Somebody check for me again. I'm too lazy to do it.

[Illuminatus]

I see two HongHus.

Perhaps use this instead of doing it by hand.....

Put all the names and post counts in a file.
Run the script with file containing all the data as the first arguement. It checks for people you've listed twice and adds the post counts together than nicely formats it all.

#!bash
echo Opening File $1 and sorting.
sort $1 | \
        awk 'BEGIN{ \
                previousname=""; \
                postcount=0 \
        }\
        \
        { \
                if (match($1,previousname)) \
                        postcount=$2+postcount;\
                else if (postcount > 0) \
                { \
                        print previousname "\t" postcount; \
                        postcount=$2; \
                } \
                previousname=$1 \
        } \
        \
        END{ \
                print previousname "\t" postcount\
        }' \
    | \
    awk '{print $2 "\t" $1}' \
    | \
    sort -rg \
    | \
    awk 'BEGIN{total=0}\
        { \
        spacing=" ";
        for (count=length($2);count<=20;count++) \
                spacing=spacing" ";\
        print $2 spacing $1;\
        total=total+$1;\
        }\
        END{print "\nTotal Posts:          " total}'

Can't you use a humane laungauge like C++?

BTW, I wanted to share my RL drunkeness with the Rec Commons.

Blame my dad wanting to try ALL the beers in the Bierkeller

The beauty of shells scripts is they take a 1/6 of the time to develop. C++ code would be about 3 times longer since you would have to make the sort function, filehandling and string parsing.
