The update is not late. Seriously. It's not.

(Oh yeah. Not all square/cube/etc. roots end in irrational numbers, but all of those are classified as radicals, which is what I was looking for. Sorry Kamek.)

I see nobody here has actually read Homer Price and instead went to the crappy Wikipedia article It's HOUSES. Seriously.

By the way, despite my attempts to make the game less broken, it seems I've made it worse (or Skreename is just too good... ). So, I'll try to create a way to pull the underdogs back in without totally breaking the game again. When certain conditions are met *

a. Transition
c. Degaussing.

Hey! I resent that! I think...

EDIT: I'd suggest removing the +4 bonus, actually. It's rather harsh.

EDIT AGAIN: That'd include when I got it, too. Without it, I'd be a good bit closer to the others.

Tatrion, I really think you should bring back the rule where you can't answer more than 2 questions in a row or else you lose points. In this current version, the rule should be that you can't answer a question if you were active for 2 days in a row.

Still, it's up to you if you want to bring back that rule or not.

This would kinda take the fun out of the game.

Want a free point? READ ON!

Yeah, I haven't given much thought recently as to how to make a more even distribution of points that wouldn't be unfair to those in high ranks.

Uly, if I did that, the only reward left would be straight points, which would push first to an even higher break from second if they always got the bonus. Not to use a condemning voice, just saying.

Fabio, I'd have to agree with Ac here, that putting a long-term limit would take some fun out of the game. After all, the basic premise of the game is that "To the quickest go the spoils"... Maybe the 2.01 system was broken to begin with.

When school gets out of my face a little bit, would you guys rather have a revision to the 1.0 system (Where one question was asked at a time, 1-5 times a day at random times, with a single guess limit instead of a double) or the current system (3 questions daily, at a random CST afternoon time, two guess limit)?

To encourage people to vote, I'll... uh, give everyone who votes a point, to make up for the deficit since the 22nd or whenever.

I would like it if you gave a reason why you liked the old/new system better... but you don't have to.

The newer system is the best.

It makes it fun for most people as well as challenging to get and guess the answers.

Updating one to five times a day sounds much better. I haven't been active at this game that much because when you posted the question, I was usually away and I had to wait the next day for new questions.

I meant, to not give gimmicks to the person that is winning the game, or to not let persons that already have a lot of points to answer Bonuses.

Anyway, I vote for old system, because, I read the whole topic and it seemed like a way funnier game in the past.

Hmm. It's a rather tough question for me. (And no, that's not a "I'm winning with the new system so I'm going to try to play fair even though I'm not really")

I rather like how the new system is guaranteed to be <= 1 a day. Makes it a bit easier to keep up with, not worrying about missing 2 or more questions because you only checked once a day.

However, at the same time... I think the 2-guess-per-question-set thing needs some work. Either that, or the bonus system. I think I got a good amount of my current points from just the bonuses, along with more gimmicks than anyone else playing at the moment.

Also, on the matter of restricting gimmicks from 1st place... I haven't seen too much of a use for the first place person when they have them. Steal would be most useful with the second place, as it would create a -2 situation for first place relative to the one who stole it. Thumps will at most give 2 questions of reprieve, although it seems the most useful for the time being. I consider it more of a vengeance weapon, though... "You got the one I wanted, so I'm going to thump you in retaliation". Juxtapose is the most powerful, but again limited in effect for first place; leading by 10 is the same as leading by 15 for the time being. It'd be more of an impact when the game is near an end, or when a player wants to quickly jump ahead of someone else--which again applies more for lower places.

For now, I'd call this an "abstain". When I can make an objective decision one way or the other, I'll make it.

(I find it amusing I had the same point total when you retired the old system as I do now that you're looking over the new one.)

I still think the bonuses are a bit broken, though.
