Say a random noun game!

[Dakkus]

I added 1 point and deducted (7-PI) per each "fascination". Is that correct?

Errmm... I didn't mean it to be, but yes, it is :)

[JP Simões]

In that case, according to my database, your 20 posts provide you with (by order of date):

1 point for fascination
1 point for smell
1-(7-PI) points for fascination
1-(7-PI) points for fascination (again)
2.45 points for noun
1-PI points for point
2.45 points for hat
1-PI points for hääyöaie
1 point for ZdS
1 point for thing
-PI points for posting twice in a row
32 points for noticing I counted points incorrectly
32 points for noticing avij counted points incorecctly
-PI points for posting twice in a row

TOTAL: 53,717 points and P-O.

I've just discovered this new game, I'll have to work hard to catch up.
Here's my first noun:

author

[avij]

You just gained one point for your noun, and lost 42 points for not counting the score of the previous user. I got 32 points for mentioning that you counted the score wrong (= not counted at all).

[mirandolina]

It's not at all clear how the points are supposed to be calculated! I suppose I will be even farther below zero now.....

[JP Simões]

You did not lose any points with that last post. But Dakkus ought to write the full rules on the first topic. I'll try to gather them now for you.

[avij]

Trying to collect all the rules into a single message should also be penalized somehow, although I'm not the one making the rules.

[JP Simões]

Avij, you've got -97.906 points right now.

My word: fence

[mirandolina]

That's pretty silly...... obviously the rules should be in a single message at the front, as in all the other games on the board.... new players shouldn't have to wade through all the previous pages to find the rules before they can join in.

Well, I'm strongly against "games" which require only writing to some topic, reading the messages that others have written should be equally important. Who cares about "write-only" topics anyway, except those who are interested in increasing their post count?

You have now -41 points and here's a new noun: absence

[JP Simões]

With -96.906 you are currently ranked 7th out of 8 and my word is hat.

[Dakkus]

Sorry, ZdS. You just lost points. Avij has edited an old post of his before that last message of his. He had changed some other word to "hääyöaihe", which is a duplicate, thus scoring him an extra 1,45 points plus a Porcupine point.
You only added one point, although you should have added 2,45 and Porcupine point.

Oh, and I just gained 32 points \o/
(but also a Porcupine point.. :/)

[JP Simões]

Aw bugger, I just realized that I just posted two messages in a row, bringing my score down to exactly -6. Well, I'll advance to -5 with this brilliant noun: Hääyöaie

I see. But you did not count mine. I want 32 points. If nobody edited in the meantime, you have 91,517 points.


EDIT: I have changed "smell" to machine

As I didn't come up with a noun, I didn't have to count any points, either.

[JP Simões]

You're right. I forgot that. Next word: actor. You remain with the same 91,517 points.
