Ratammer, please explain the rules in the first post.

Is this a ploy to make her say the forbidden word?

Posted: **Mon Sep 20, 2021 5:29 pm**

I'm pretty sure it's not - some fg rules have been added including explaining the rules in the first post, and he's said this on other threads too (e.g. take a penny leave a penny)

(The main goal here is to see how many posts we can go without the forbidden word in the thread title being mentioned in the text of the post. There's a streak counter on chridd's site.)

And it doesn't even contain The Word!

That was, of course, intentional.

Do pato or canard count?

Posted: **Mon Sep 20, 2021 9:00 pm**

They don't. chridd's scoreboard looks for the exact string of four letters.

Posted: **Tue Sep 21, 2021 7:36 am**

Chridd's scoreboard wouldn't catch edits, right?

Posted: **Tue Sep 21, 2021 7:38 am**

That's right. Once it's seen a post, it doesn't check it again.

Posted: **Tue Sep 21, 2021 3:44 pm**

I don't think it checks immediately though, so its probably best to load the scoreboard page before doing the bad thing.

If you're committed to doing the bad thing, that is.

Posted: **Wed Sep 22, 2021 6:58 pm**

Note: do not do the bad thing.

Posted: **Wed Sep 22, 2021 10:42 pm**

Definitely do not do the bad thing.

Wait, snide sniper didn't say duck?

Posted: **Thu Sep 23, 2021 3:03 am**

Well, I'm not a complete monster. I still allow decent streaks.

Posted: **Thu Sep 23, 2021 5:03 am**

I prefer streaking.

heury

i feel like we're just gonna be talking for ages, and due to the relatively low frequency of the word in question we could get pretty far without it.

someone should prolly try this with something more common

Posted: **Fri Sep 24, 2021 10:00 pm**

The point isn't people doing it by accident, though. We have active saboteurs trying to screw us over.

He do you know that wasn't an accident?

Because you're a very deliberate guy.
