conmcb25,

You're quoting from the thread started by you on 23 August, there was another thread on 11 October by t_ras (see DrSpike's post with links). As Tuberski pointed out, there's no rollover AFAIK.

What exactly is going on here? I just wanted to know what was going on with A, D, M, and HP as they pertain to a person's public profile. I didn't think that it was a part of a contest, if someone could PM and tell me what is going on, I would be very grateful, either that, or post a reply here and enlighten me.

Thanks,
scaeva

Typing for the nth time:

These are dependent on your post count. A (attack) is based on how many posts you have. D (defense) is based on what your average posts-per-day is. M (movement) is based on the proportion of how long you have been registered to your post count. HP (hit points) shows how long it's till next A increase. When HP goes to 99, next increase, A increases by 1, and HP drops to 0.

And we have a contest to guess when the next time someone asks the question will be.

scaeva,

This question is asked so often that it has become a contest here in the Apoly/Community forum. Our job is to razz you a bit and pick the next time someone else will ask the question. Person closest to the date is the winner. Your job is to take it like a man (or woman) and once you finally understand what's going on pick a date yourself and be ready to give the next person the same amount of grief you got.
Usually one or two months is a good guess. Someone WILL ask.

It IS the question and can come at any interval!!

Congratulations to DrSpike on the immortality of your contest.

1) That was an old contest, as has been mentioned. It was Tubby's fault for not including the last thread in his non-working list.

2) Even if you had guessed the 27th you still wouldn't win. We've had close guesses before, and I've always used GMT as default time.

It started as a small scale in-joke with something like 10-15 guesses. I never thought it would get this massive; I guess people like in-jokes.

I've a feeling The Question will come around again fairly quickly

It always does

Uh, someone should update the list with the new guesses... joncha?

[Adagio]

I'll just pick the same data as last time: Dec 27, if that one haven't been picked yet...

That's less than a month though
