That won't happen because I'll beat you instead!
Ice cream is better...
Or maybe make an ice cream pie?

Here's to another batch of points.
Anyways, going to relax for a while, seeya.

23 I'm desperate
good evening. i'm bored.
about 19 minutes. fair enough. slow and steady.
damn, we can't even consistently hit 20 minutes anymore.
Nope!

score = seconds/60, because it's pretty close to that anyway. Why add the logarithms?
kms i cant get a break

Yeah I was thinking same thing

Posting mechanics. Sure you can wait a long while to post, but posting at a more regular interval would give you more points. There should be an optimal number of posts for a time interval vs waiting as long to make a single post, however I never bothered to calculate it. On the other hand, if you want to go for the highest single score then that's fine too.johnmedina999 wrote:

I'm just about done for today.

Now for a more accurate answer:
First it has to be an exponential. You earn more points the longer you wait. There is a difference between posting 10 times 30 minutes after each person and posting after 300 minutes. As much cumulative time has passed between your post and the previous, but the latter will give you more points. Now why all the fancy logs and such? I don't remember what the function solves to, but I did find that the equivalent of 1 day is equal to exactly 2000 points. I think there is one more anchor points, but not sure.
This is the unsimplified formula I used to solve for the function I desired:

This is the unsimplified formula I used to solve for the function I desired:
n = log(2000.0/60.0)/log(24)You can see the 2000 in there. 60 for seconds -> minute conversion, and 24 for hours in a day. Don't remember more than that at the current moment.
b = 60.0/pow(60.0, n)
score = b * pow(seconds_passed/60.0, n)
Just another post before midnight.

Hi
kinda feel good today manage to unlock the 4th character( aside from minor heart attack from some of her pattern from not dieing ).
