Default Count To 50 (Ponies Vs. Non-Ponies) XX: 20% Discount On Your Next Post

Hello again. Below are your rules, just in case you're new or an amnesiac.

Normally, non-ponies add 1 to the count, and ponies (i.e. people with a My Little Pony/equine avatar) subtract 1. However, once the count reaches 1 above/below the record for non-ponies or ponies, respectively, the game enters PANIC. The moment a pony posts (Or non-pony, if the ponies have broken their record), the count is reset to 0. You have to try to increase the record as much as you can before PANIC is stopped. When that side wins, they get a point, the count is reset to 0, and their record is reset to ±10.

The Three-Post Rule is in effect, meaning that you need to wait for three people to post after you do, or else your post won't count.

Additional information: The Three-Post Rule applies across the thread boundaries due to the special nature of this game.

Non-Pony Record: 41
Pony Record: -33
Non-Pony Wins: 5
Pony Wins: 5
Monasteries Harmed In The Making Of This Thread: 0

And we begin at -2. Get set to give some guy a thrashing!

In that sense, I love eating monks and feel their squishy insides ooze out.

From those calculations, I can conclude that Excel = Zero, based on the principal that if a+b=c, and a+b+d=c, then d=0.

However, zero isn't my number, so... Negative one.

I agree with your conclusions! We'll go with the process that "Me" is in actuality M * E (mass times energy [sounds like a person!]), and Info processing is the variable, based on which and how much info has been processed. Therefore we will quantify it as "I + P". Excell is a non-effecting variable, as the result is bored with or without, so Excell = 0.

Based on moods, would bored be an average emotion, negative emotion, or positive emotion. If average, I'd classify it as one, but based on my opinion, I'd say it would be in the negatives.

So the equations would then equal:

I + P + (ME) = >0
I + P + 0 + (ME) = >0
I + P + 0 - (ME) = <0

This conclusion in actuality has some disturbing connotations. For this formula to be true, Akow's (ME) must be negative, so that when removed it creates a positive number. Hmmmm....

Anywho...ONE

But we know that Akow's (ME) must be a positive number to observation. Therefore, I + P must have a negative value somehow.


Zero.

I do indeed! And liked it I did! I'm a big fan of older science fiction, after all. Ever read "Tiger, Tiger" or perhaps, "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress"?

It's called a book. Read one sometimes. And by "book", I mean "obscure apocalyptic novel, from like, the 50s"
