Fuels Chief, you are in danger of burning: you have an average submitting rate of 4 games per day for the last 30 days.

And games will soon hit a new block: If not submitting and a recalc occurs the 01/13/05, you will get 50K just for game movements.

Now, the bad news (not only for you, but for everyone): Since your block from 0-31 days is filled, if you keep the same submission rate, the points increase will just be generated by games movements between blocks, since there will always be the same number of 60K games in the first block.

And when there is 120 games scoring each 60K, a new one in this block will earn you 60K*sqrt(121) - 60K*sqrt(120) = 60K*(sqrt(121) - sqrt(120)) = 60k*sqrt(120) * (sqrt(1 + 1/120) - 1) approx 60K*sqrt(120)*1/2*1/120 = 30K/sqrt(120) = 2.7 K

First boom gets you your recalc - 2nd boom should then get "normal" points ie 60k/sqrt(no of games in the past 30 days)

Not quite:
Value of a block if there is N 60K games in it:
value = raw total / sqrt(number of game) = N *60K / sqrt(N) = 60K * sqrt (N).

When submitting a new game in a bloc, the new value is : 60 K * sqrt(N+1)

So the increase is : 60K*sqrt(N+1) - 60K * sqrt(N) = 60K*sqrt(N)*sqrt(1+1/N) - 60K * sqrt(N) = 60K*sqrt(N) * (sqrt(1+1/N) - 1).

And sqrt(1+x) can be approximated to 1 + x/2 for small x.

So sqrt(1+1/N) can be approximated to 1 + 1/2N If N is big enough.

So the increase can be approximated to 60K*sqrt(N)*(1 +1/2N - 1) = 60K*sqrt(N)*1/2N = 30K/sqrt(N) (and not 60K/sqrt(N))

BOOM! for 2,667 for first boom of the day - from anyone.

#18878 by Citizen PassingBye - 1/10/2005 8:07:12 PM

BOOM! for 4,550 meta points.

#18879 by Citizen Chipperoo - 1/10/2005 9:11:08 PM

BOOM!

I got mine...did you get yours?

#18880 by Veteran the 3rd child - 1/10/2005 10:01:28 PM

it's quite funney that this explosive tradition has carried on even now

The mark of an active Guardian. We know who is working to keep the Empire alive and ahead of the pack. Some boom hourly (FC) and some boom daily (Chip and PB) and some boom occasionally. It really doesn't matter as long as they have boomed once in their stay. It keeps us focused and the thread alive. Compare to other threads that have no tradition. Even Damoose says hello to an empty crypt every morning.

We have other traditions that mark us as well. Beer gnomes, silly poems as we approach large numbered posts,inventions to stop the moose....

#18887 by Citizen PassingBye - 1/11/2005 5:52:14 PM

Indeed, LW. We are alive with tradition. Unlike the other empires which are undead with no tradiation.

#18888 by Citizen Chipperoo - 1/11/2005 8:51:16 PM

I thought I posted this from work earlier today...

"I miss the Whack-a-moose that we used to always hear."

As for tonight...

BOOM!

#18889 by Citizen PassingBye - 1/12/2005 6:41:38 AM

Well, Chip, just remember that the Moose head is still above the fireplace.

So, Wack-a wack-a wack-a way

#18890 by Citizen PassingBye - 1/12/2005 7:08:30 PM

BOOM! for 668 points. Wack-a wack-a wack-a the moose head in frustration.

Chip the moose is very difficult to miss. Take shield and approach Moose. Use small talk to distract moose. The merrits of foundation butt is always a good topic. Take shield and both hands and Wack-a Wack-a. Works everytime.

Almost

#18893 by Citizen PassingBye - 1/12/2005 10:28:03 PM

BOOM! for 4602 for 2nd boom. Looks like I have to play two a day to get any points at all.

#18894 by Citizen Chipperoo - 1/12/2005 11:45:33 PM

I've just never actually done it before. I didn't want to do something that had become passe. Therefore...

Whack-a-Whack-a-Whack BOOM!

#18895 by Citizen Evil Druid - 1/13/2005 2:14:02 AM

Feels good don't it

Nothing like a good Wack-a after a evening of vapourizing Yor

#18896 by Citizen PassingBye - 1/13/2005 7:15:36 AM

Chip,, you just have tobe careful when wacking the moose head. Damoose seem to favor the butt cheeks of those who wack-a him

Weal you protective gear.

#18897 by Citizen Chipperoo - 1/13/2005 12:11:35 PM

Always in place!

#18898 by Citizen PassingBye - 1/13/2005 6:02:47 PM

BOOM! for 2336 points

#18899 by Citizen PassingBye - 1/13/2005 9:04:43 PM

BOOM! for no points and no games registered. Will resubmit later. Already tried twice and it delays the appropriate amount of time, but no updates on score or number of games.
