Real Questions

[Agathon]

In my profile it says under Post Stats:

A: 9 | D: 9 | M: 9 | HP: 20

Can someone please tell me what this means?

And can you find out how many people have you on ignore?

[Immortal Wombat]

Ignore list question: you can't.


Post stats...
Well, Skanky came closest with the 24th, but nobody expected it to be over 50 days before the next thread.
edit: ok, missed a non-specific thread. 87023.

Hold your horses a thread came after that.

[Immortal Wombat]

did it? I couldn't find it And the search isn't working.

[Agathon]

OK so I'm now the but of some joke. No one knows do they.

Thanks for the link IW. It allowed me to trace down to the first thread posted about it ever.

As Markos puts it :
"Level: shows how much you've posted
HP: shows how good your average posts(posts/day) is. if it's over 3, you'll have full HP
MP: shows how long you've been a member and how active you have been
Exp: shows how close you are to geting to a new level"

Agathon : IIRC, at some point during 2002's summer, Markos included these figures just under our avatars, because he thought it would be fun to have RPG-like stats for each poster (at the very beginning, the stats we hit-point, mana, experience, just like in Diablo)
Since everybody wondered about it, and since people spammed much more to get better stats,, he removed them quickly from the public eye. The post stats you see in the profile are the remnants of this initiative.

Sorry to have brought you here in the community forum while you asked on the OT, but post-stats threads are part of the community forum's lifeblood. You are not personally the butt of some joke, it is absolutely not directed towards you

And then it changed from D&D to Civ, and we're confused again.

[DrSpike]

Ok Alex is closest with June 29th.

Well done Alex, you are the DrSpike post stats challenge champion, wresting the title from Static Universe's gollum-like embrace.

Thanks to those that provided links.........I can't be assed to check whether they are exhaustive.......the thread I linked to in the thread below (with Alex's win) has the exhaustive list.

OK cheers. I was being sarcastic. It's a pretty funny contest actually.

30 July

[DrSpike]

Well I've consistently been underestimating the level of ignorance in my last few guesses, so I'm going to go with 7th August...........actually before my guess for the last comp.

Thread will be slyly locked (or forgotten about ) in 10 days.

[alva]

Héhé, that was a long time ago..

I go for 2 similar threads on august 12.

Spike what are the odds on that at the moment?

[Skanky Burns]

Damn, I was so close to winning this one.

Oh well. Looks like its time for another long shot - 1st September.
