@wrath, a back 2 back is posts by the same person touching.

I ment it's still done the same way - mindlessly/blindly clicking the submit button
If one person does it you get 1 1 1 1 1
If 3 people do it you get : 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3
Both scenarios the game is ruined

@vlam,
I think you are right about stopping the mad posting without looking, however I don't think total post count should be fined, I always post at the begining a bunch just to get the game going. However maybe double posting should be fined, that sounds like a good idea.

Wappers can only play by blind posting. 123123 is fine, it happens everywhere 1111 is when you need to deduct.

How is 1 2 3 1 2 3 better then 1 1 1
Is it simply better because 3 people are doing it instead of one? Especially since it's done exactly the same way at exactly the same speed? A little change of timing and you get 1 1 2 3 3 2 2 1! Will you punish all 3 then?
[edit]
Besides, it's silly to say "It's OK for wappers to do it, since they can
t play any other way"

I have a suggestion (that will probably be shot down in flames) to stop the multi-posting.
How about saying that anyone with more than one post in a five post window either side of the target gets disqualified? EG if the target reply number is 10, and someone has reply numbers 9 and 12 they would be breaking the rules.
This way people would have to be more selective about when they have their attempt. Any thoughts/other ideas??

@Fritz24
I was just about to suggest that myself!
There is a problem there though
If post 41 is wanted, nobody will post 45-49

It depends on how you play the game. I usually wait till the post counter is 3 or 4 below the target then post. If I miss then that's tough luck. As I said it'll make people more selective when they post.
And if the target's 41 then it doesn't matter if there's no 45-49

123 is fine because you have 3 people competing. 112233 is also a deduction. Adding all these post limits is silly hard to enforce and kills the game. Back 2 back deductions are easy to enforce.

Well, my opinion is that blind posts (especially from wappers since they are the most uncontrolled once) are killing the game! ...and the servers!

Just disallow multi posts. Your suggestion sucks big time for wappers :-(

I totaly agree with Bosshogg, 123, 123 is fine but not 11 22 33
Knowledge is two fold. Knowing a subject or knowing where to find out about a subject. I rely on both... That is why I come here.  |

You have to treat everyone to the same rules. You can't start making exceptions for wappers simply because they have an inferior interface!
