@MaThIbUs
You can't punish one person (but not the other) for doing the same thing

When you contineously press the "Submit" on WAP, the phone is too slow to bring up the flood control text. So when you press 10 times, 5 of those will fall out because they were back2back, the remaining 5 will interweave with the 2nd person doing exactly the same thing - generating 10 posts in 2 seconds.

When I press "Submit" on normal Esato, the "Edit your post" message comes up immidiatly, I have to press back, then submit again, using 4 times as much time!

If I use mobile.esato, the flood control is gone! I press "Submit" with exactly the same speed as the rest of you, but since it's not throttled by the forums, ALL my posts get posted.

How is what I do, worse then what you do? Why should I be punished, but you - not?

the only real answer I can see to this at the moment is that the winning reply is always number 2... so the first three people to spot the game and reply will score.

I can't think of any other solution at this time.

edit: but perhaps even that disadvantages WAP users since they will take longer to see the game has started? hmm..

Everything would disadvantage the WAP users. Playtime!!! is the game of speed and precision. WAP is not made for either of those.

I wish there was a way to make this game fair for PCs and WAP, but it's simply impossible. (Giving WAPers adavantage is dangerous, since a PC can easily emulate WAP)

yes, I was thinking of suggesting games for WAP only and games for PC only (with equal number of games) but its easy for a pc person to pretend to be wap and there is no way to tell for real.

oh dear what have we started.

the way I see it, the use of mobile.esato.com should be banned.

I know this is hard to implement coz we can't actually see it tho.

I also agree to the suggestion of actually responding (say minimum of 3 words) rather then just posting smilies (like i like to do) but whole sentences disadvantage the wappers.

so minimal 3 words..... and at least one changed word for every post.... should prevent any multis and still keep everyone in the game.

How about it?
