So, I took you all's advice, and I'm editing the opening thingy. To everyone who's been following all four rounds, you don't really need to read this.

To all new posters. It's pretty imperative that you read page 97, and the second to last post. That should catch you up, and I'll also lay down some of the rules we all came up with at random.

So, here they are

When you post, you must include either +1 or -1 before the number (i.e. +1 77) to indicate to others whether your post was intended to be up or down. We've had some problems with slow browsers and number mixups, so this should help prevent that.

Two, you can't post within two posts of yourself. I.e. Sole Soul, Finiskalan, Caedus, Sole Soul. (You guys don't mind me using you as an example, right?)

That's about it. Oh and also, have fun!

Yeah, I've realized that too. I think I'll draw the line at maybe 600 or so. 1000 is really disguctingly high.

Oh, and everyone should have their karma by now, I think.

Yay! The first game to get to 0, if you really count this as a game.

As I said, Finis actually isn't a person. He's an Ai in the forums. EEEVIL.

Perhaps each game should start at zero and go into positives or negatives.

That's technically a double post, and I'm not aware of any ongoing game.

Awards!

Lightning Round: Cypher, FinisKalan, and Sole Soul. Holy fuck guys. Up and down and up and down and up and down and up and down.......

Astounding Valiance: FinisKalan. Alone you held on whilst your enemy tore the ground from beneath your feet for a long while, with only the rare and confusing assistance of Varsi1 to help.

Came...From...Behind!: UP Team, from a knockdown to almost the start, all the way to victory.

Last Gasp: DOWN Team, with an astounding smashdown of UP Team.

Single handed Kick-Butt: (Thanks to Calania for the inadvertent name) Finis! Finis completely owned this game. Kinda like last game. And the game before that. I’m starting to think he doesn’t actually exist. Maybe he’s an AI existing in the Stardock forums. That would explain a lot.

Crazed Poster: Calania! You went from hardly any posts to 363 for the win!

Tag Teamers: Cypher and Sole Soul. Un-friggin stoppable, at least for a little while.

End of SSAF's quote

An AI huh? Would that be anything like the stories I've read here in the forum about the ICO server? Who's got a Turing test?

Quoting SSAF, reply 18

And thanks, Finis, for handling that whole mix-up waaaaay back there in the 800s.

End of SSAF's quote

My pleasure. If I didn't someone else would have had to.

What do u guys do all day, besides this?

End of Varsi1's quote

If I am an AI, not much. If I'm not an AI, does full time computer science student count?

End of Varsi1's quote

But I like being helpful... Why would I mislead newbs? Misleading noobs is one thing, but not newbs. Yes, there is a difference.

Douglas Adams already did the meaning of life.

There are scientists and doctors working on cures for cancer and other diseases.

Supercomputers are working on primes, PI, and e.

Distributed processing is handling the search for exterestial life.

That covers the major tasks.

And I'm not evil. Then again, if I'm not evil, why do I have a "Get out of Hell free" card? I guess I need to go find a MENSA test to see if I can be an evil genius.

@SSAF I think it may be best if I quit participating, and instead help you judge and count the posts.

So there is some overlap that I didn't mention, but you do make a point.

Yeah, I'm back from my hiatus. Had some tests in Trig and stuff to deal with.

Finis, you can't stop participating! What will everyone do without you winning every game? Oh, wait...
And also, this is my damnation. I am forced to count each and every post. It is my own personal hell. GET OUT OF MY HELL!!!!!

And folding proteins, pshaw! I do that in my spare time. No seriously. Awesome program called FoldIt. Look it up some time. Win a nobel prize. Hells yeah!

Oh jeez, it all makes sense now! Finis, you're the ICO Bot! I understand! I can SEE the code! You are the one!

And, NEW GAME!

-500-0-500

That shouldn't be too hard on me to count up.

0, START!

And onward to 3000 posts and 100 pages!
