Hello and welcome to the 2nd annual competition which will answer the question "Who is here the most?"
Last year's competition topic: http://perfectdarkelite.yuku.com?topic=13471 (http://perfectdarkelite.yuku.com?topic=13471)
Last year's results topic: http://perfectdarkelite.yuku.com?topic=13516 (http://perfectdarkelite.yuku.com?topic=13516)
Last year's discussion topic: http://perfectdarkelite.yuku.com?topic=13459 (http://perfectdarkelite.yuku.com?topic=13459)
This is a fun competition we played last year. For those who aren't aware:
(note, it is not fun but will challenge you to the depths of your ability, tear apart your soul, destroy your happiness, halt all your life's productivity, ruin your confidence and kill all desire you have to live.)
The rules are
You may post in the topic once per hour.
Your post must be your name followed by a number. Use any alias you want, just make it the same each post!
The number is simply your # of post, 1 2 3 4 5 etc in the topic.
The first person to reach 100 wins.
If you post sooner than 1 hour after your last post, it simply does not count! Double check your posts if you're cutting it close. We go by Yuku timing, and ties are OKAY to count as a post (down to the second, though!)
After signups and a general gauge on the number of people playing, I'll make a new topic and all posts there will count. The topic will be closed right away, and then opened by a mod/admin at start time.
We will begin at
Sunday, February 15, 1:00 PM Pacific Time
4:00 PM QB Time
1:00 PM Octo time
8:00 AM Australian Open time
9:00 PM Shep time
Figure it out from there!
Yes, a lot of us work, have school, jobs, etc. But,...
It is a competition but also fun to see how long it takes everybody! Compete even if you're gonna lose (like the NSa!), and we'll have final results with how long everybody took.
Don't complain about obligations during the week, or even the start time! Everybody sleeps, everybody will have things to do, so don't give up just because you'll hardly get posts in then have to fall right asleep. I highly doubt you'll get 2nd because you had to go to bed 2 hours after it started and gave somebody else a head start.
The new topic will be opened at exactly (close enough to) the time given above, and all posts there will count.
Please show interest by putting your name here!

wow man I don't know about his year. Only thing I can say is last year was really intense. I completely ruined 4 days in my life or something. Being on the road, posting with your mobile, having appointments, still posting etc. Not sure if I do it again :P
-
I'm in, and this time I won't completely forget the first day and miss the first 8 hours of posting.
-
As much as I really don't want to do this again, as like Hugo said, it ruined 4 days of my life (and was the beginning of a huge depressive state I went through) but how can I resist trying to defend my title. I'm also in (https://forums.the-elite.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ezboard.com%2Fintl%2Faenglish%2Fimages%2Femoticons%2Fsmile.gif&hash=1adea417e08e9042f9ce1a5426616bf29f2ca20e)
-
we should retitle this competition to "who is the most self destructive 2009". I felt completely sad for a few days as well Ryan.
-
I'll surely do better than last year (though I did finish, don't forget that!).
-
Great, continuing the legacy! I'll "compete" but will probably take quite a while to get it done, lol. Count me in though
-
I'm in it to win it!

... curious... is my post cap going to be lifted? and for that matter Goose's too... and anyone else that has a cap?
-
I'm wearing a cap...but can admins lift it?
-
Good start time for me, I suppose I could do it easily enough.
Sucks knowing I can't win without shortening my sleep time, though. And there's no way in hell I'm doing that >_>
-
I'm not going to be part of spamfests.
-
wohoo! Patrik is in!
-
will neo compete if he is made the favourite though?
-
will neo compete if he is made the favourite though?
That doesn't make any sense, I'll compete either way, but it would be ridiculous if I was anything close to favourite.
-
I still think this is a terrible idea. Good luck to those who compete!
-
I guess I'm in as well
-
For god sakes Ryan, stop creating (or bringing back, on this case) those fucking lame competitions. Even though this one was already made last year but whatever, bringing it back is even worse, it's like "hey who's got some spare time and don't know how to spend it". Go do something else guys, I'm sure you won't regret it.
-
^ HA!
i'm out... this IS pretty lame...
i'd rather do... ANYTHING else...
... but have fun anyways...
-
Gonna have to pass this time around. I'm pretty sure I'm going away for a week leaving the 15th, so I'll have minimal access to a computer during that time.
-
I hope I can beat my PR of 0 last year. I'm out!

Would you be making this same post if it were Ngamer who was hosting it again this year?
-
I'd just say that the idea sucks, not that he sucks aswell, because he's cool (https://forums.the-elite.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ezboard.com%2Fintl%2Faenglish%2Fimages%2Femoticons%2Fwink.gif&hash=4979046fbfc7ed25a03644bf608e503c4aa73f0f)
-
nah greg, I think you are just kicking against the idea for fun and you shouldn't do that.
-
Lol Hugo, on one hand we are here defending this as being fun, and on the other hand we are talking about how it destroyed our lives for not only the duration of the competition, but months after (https://forums.the-elite.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ezboard.com%2Fintl%2Faenglish%2Fimages%2Femoticons%2Fhappy.gif&hash=7b9cd982f9a41f9aefcd7ea74682d5f1e4caf4c6)

guess im going to try to join in this one as well. see how i do with a lot of school and such

And what other competitions have I created or brought back? Jon requested that I run the competition this year and I wanted to do it, so I am running it. What other competitions have I created that really bothered you and ruined people's spare time and productivity? Why all the hate?
-
Yeah, I hate most of Goose's crazy ideas, but I don't really see the problem with this one. Either you're gonna be on your computer and don't mind posting once an hour, or you think it's stupid and don't have to compete... and it's localized to just one or two topics, so you'll barely notice it.
-
Crazy ideas? Can people please give me a list of these? OR at least point out one? I don't think the GE tournament is a "crazy idea"...
-
Well the ones you end up posting are usually ok, but you say a lot of crazy shit in chat all the time. =P
-
I'm in and I'll try to finish within the next few months!
-
Yeah, no reason to compete if you don't want to, but pretty silly to complain either way. It's just one stickied topic and one other discussion topic- very easy to avoid if you don't want to follow along.
-
I'm in.. and I'm in to win!

Lol?
-
Competitions like this and dance ones are the main reasons why i don't bother posting as much as i used to anymore. I'm not saying it wasnt good last year, i can't really say since i never took part but to be fair this is pretty lame but doable compared to that childish dance thing. I'll pass though, good luck to those taking part.
-
What do you have against the dance battle and just general encouragement of activity in general? You should stop posting altogether if you're going to be such a naysayer.
Question though, would you feel the same about these competitions if it were Jon or Come who were running them?
-
I would feel the same, and since i have a right to post i can state my opinion on the matter. Whether you choose to accept that or not is your choice and you simply can just ignore it.
-
Okay I'm in.....still haven't finished last year's round though haha.....
I nearly ran this comp on kart after seeing it here, but decided not to....maybe this summer I will or something. On there I'd play for first, and probably come in top 3 (Fried/Etch seem to be around more than me somehow), but I don't know how hard I'll try at this. I probably have only loaded the forum 100 times in the last 6 months or so haha.
-
im in, but what will most likely happen like last year is once i get too far behind i get bored and give up. but ill try again

i will post in it, but since no one has EVER replied to me about my cap of 15, at least no one with the ability to lift said cap, i'm not really gonna los any sleep over it. imo, Goose has already won this competition (if you can even call it that) but i am certainly not gonna raise a ruckus over this, like Fal or Vitor has...

Shawn. Jon stated a while ago that anyone with a cap will have it lifted for 10 days, starting with the day of the competition.
-
"Hold up now! There's going to be one thread at the top of the boards that will have links to people dancing, for a couple weeks? Gracious sakes- I don't see how I'll be able to continue reading General Chat!"

Wow I'm 30mins out of first place (https://forums.the-elite.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ezboard.com%2Fintl%2Faenglish%2Fimages%2Femoticons%2Ffrown.gif&hash=9bb8520656650a7c2457ae0ae2ee8996e4109fd6) But Goose will own me tonight.
If I try superhard I can get posts at 8am, 9:30am, 11:05am, 12:05pm, 1:05pm, 2:05pm, 3:20pm, then every hour all night
That is my best possible schedule during school days, losing 1h20m each day there. I don't know what I'm going to do for sleeping situation. I could just stay up right until a deadline, then try to wake up as early as possible, OR I could try waking every 1h to be awake enough to make the post "B, x"
Not sure yet!
-
I'll be gone all day Friday. (https://forums.the-elite.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ezboard.com%2Fintl%2Faenglish%2Fimages%2Femoticons%2Ffrown.gif&hash=9bb8520656650a7c2457ae0ae2ee8996e4109fd6) Looks like I could still get 3rd, though.
-
Just don't try Brick. It's useless against me.
-
Yeah Goose, but I have a thing for pointless online competitions (https://forums.the-elite.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ezboard.com%2Fintl%2Faenglish%2Fimages%2Femoticons%2Fsmile.gif&hash=1adea417e08e9042f9ce1a5426616bf29f2ca20e)
-
I don't think you understand...
-
Well I'm already a tenth of the way there....
-
I already have more than I made last year, anyway.
-
Damnit just realized I'll be at state wrestling all day Thursday and on Friday/Saturday I'll be on a college visit....so I will not be able to beat Goose.
Regardless, I will try to stay ahead of him until the point I cannot help any more.
-
I'm in, and this time I won't completely forget the first day and miss the first 8 hours of posting.
Rofl that is exactly what I did again. Almost the exact same number of hours missed too (7 this time).
-
Found out that I can get to this from school. I should be able to do 20 posts per 24 hours until Thursday, at which point I will lose any chance of beating Goose. Currently I'm 40 minutes behind :-/
-
Goose just went from 18 to 20.
-
He's cheating! Omg!
-
I was tired. Fuck off.
-
Chillin ahead of Goose still....I've got a good lineup for the rest of the afternoon, and should be able to lose no more time until tonight. There's a chance I'll have to miss my next post at 1:11, but I should be able to make it. After that, the rest will be lined up perfectly. Should have 50 by the time I sleep tonight.
-
You're not making any sense. You're at HIGH SCHOOL man. You should be losing.
-
Brick's 44th is WAY early. Yeah, his #45 is actually #44. That's better.
-
Yeah Third, I got a phone call and thought it was my 1hr phone alarm going off so I hit post before looking at the phone...then I couldn't figure out how to delete my post.
-
You can't delete posts here.
-
Heh awesome battle for first.
Just reminding everyone again how if I hadn't forgotten about the contest starting Sunday night (I was sitting at home the entire night) I'd only be 2 posts back of you 2. (https://forums.the-elite.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ezboard.com%2Fintl%2Faenglish%2Fimages%2Femoticons%2Fohwell.gif&hash=bb0d6706659211344c8b0105d84285ae23571845)
-
Yeah Lovins...it's not that hard to keep pace with us.
We've both messed up the two nights pretty bad, imo....but I'm right on pace with where I thought I'd be, 20 per 24.
-
Congrats to Goose, winner of the Elite's second annual Who Is Here the Most contest!
-
Congrats Ryan, if I hadn't started 7 hours late I could have made it interesting (https://forums.the-elite.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ezboard.com%2Fintl%2Faenglish%2Fimages%2Femoticons%2Fwink.gif&hash=4979046fbfc7ed25a03644bf608e503c4aa73f0f)
-
Congrats Goose! Sweet Victory!
-
Yeah, I slept a bit too much this morning. I could have got up every hour starting at 7am or so and posted and finished by 1:30pm but I really messed that up. Anyways, I won in a new PR of 123:02 cutting 40 minutes off last year. The best part is I don't feel like depressed garbage this time (https://forums.the-elite.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ezboard.com%2Fintl%2Faenglish%2Fimages%2Femoticons%2Ftongue.gif&hash=7cfc888ebd66cf455a55fd5e124ee8267da91148)

Gj Ryan!

Congrats to Eddie Lovins who finished in approximately 143 hours but showed the potential to go well below 120!
-
yeah, nice run you made there Eddie!

Thanks guys, it was a tiring workweek but it was fun. (https://forums.the-elite.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ezboard.com%2Fintl%2Faenglish%2Fimages%2Femoticons%2Fwink.gif&hash=4979046fbfc7ed25a03644bf608e503c4aa73f0f)
Yeah I would've stayed up the extra 2 hours to finish last night if I had a chance to win.
-
Yeah good job to both of you. As long as I don't have three all-day adventures scheduled next time this comes up, I'm sure to be at least CLOSE to the favorite (https://forums.the-elite.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ezboard.com%2Fintl%2Faenglish%2Fimages%2Femoticons%2Fsmile.gif&hash=1adea417e08e9042f9ce1a5426616bf29f2ca20e)

I would beat Ryan in who is here the least, must post at least once, and with substance thread.

GO AWAY

Hoooooold up, did Max just claim he'd win a Contest that awarded "posting with substance"?

lol Jon tries to cover up his mistakes

Jon = pwnd!
-
Ngamer is disqualified because he edited/deleted multiple posts of his own during the competition. He clearly abused his power as an admin/leader/chieftain/tribal chief of the elite.
(https://forums.the-elite.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ezboard.com%2Fintl%2Faenglish%2Fimages%2Femoticons%2Fsmile.gif&hash=1adea417e08e9042f9ce1a5426616bf29f2ca20e) ?
-
I will have to investigate things further when I get home, but until then it looks like Jon is really on the bubble.
-
Bubble? I didn't skip an hour, I just accidentally posted a couple minutes early, realized it, and corrected the problem by making the same post (with correct timing) on the hour.
Anyways good race Cara, that was fun. We'll have to go head to head again next year!
-
Yeah upon further inspection there is no problem what Jon did as it is no different than posting a few minutes early, and then posting again. He didn't go back and implant earlier posts or anything of the nature so his 5th place finish is completely legit!
-
Congrats Patrik for finishing 7th or something like that!
-
Well you gotta pat yourself on the back so here I go. Congrats to myself for being here about a tenth of the time and being more of a pain in the ass than anyone else. I love it.
