The OOT Challenge [Archive] - Two Plus Two Older Archives

Here is the ultimate challenge, the OOT challenge. For one day we should aim for 0 posts in OOT. Is it possible? Maybe not. Some people call me a dreamer but we will never know if we don't try it. To raise awareness of this we can keep bumping this thread and a few days before THE DAY we can make a couple new threads and keep it at the top of OOT.

Here is a poll. A simple majority is not enough to go through with this, IMO we need an 80% Yes vote. Then it is fair to request that the No votes go with the general consensus of OOT and push for the No Post day. If we could pull this off, it would be OOT's greatest day, please join me in this quest.

I think this idea is awesome. But I think people should still be allowed to communicate to other OOTiots on that day by ninja-bumping threads. This will hopefully cause people to dig up old funny posts to ninja bump and I will be reminded of old threads that I enjoyed or I will be pointed to old threads that I missed. This could be the perfect day to READ OOT.

This is no piddling matter samjjones, it should be more like $100 for every post.

The problem isnt going to be the regulars, well maybe, Its the Noob's or people from the other parts of this forum that will come in and mess it up.

I don't think its possible, it be like trying to reach 0 Degress kelvin, you'll get close but never there.

Do not bring this movement down Toro with your pessimism. POSITIVE THINKING, visualize it and it will happen. If we think it can't be done it won't be done, if we think it can be done it will be done. WE WILL TRIUMPH. WE CAN AND WILL REALIZE THIS AWESOME GOAL.

I believe this was sort of suggested once, when the [censored] bannings began, just to screw with some n00bs. The suggestion was to have a 15 minute period on a certain day, where no one would post in OOT, and they would get banned. This is like that, only without the bannings (or will it...), and for a much longer period of time. I will do it, but don't do it on a weekday!

Okay, this seems a bit broken pencil to me

Why, exactly? or even approximately?

It does seem to be the sort of thing groups of losers do to 'empower themselves'

One of 2 things will happen:

1. Some n00b posts something during the day because they did not read this thread (post will probably be titled "Where is everyone" or something to that effect)

2. The goal will actually get realized...almost. Some [censored] will post in OOT 45 minutes before the goal is up, just to be a douche. Sorta like that guy who ninja bumped Dynasty's "Ninja Bumping" thread.

I like the idea of a quiet day now, with the caveat if a n00b posts, we can all rag on him in his thread, and his thread only. No adding to existing threads, even if they're added to by the n00b.

this has a 0% chance of ever happening unless the forum is locked for the day.

I can guarantee that.

edit:
in fact, I would be willing to bet a large sum of money it doesn't happen.

12-30-2005, 01:38 PM

I don't think there could be a reward to facilitate this process, so there would have to be a punishment.

A mod would have to ban all IP's which posted that day, and then try again. And then ban all IP's a second time, and try again. Eventually, there would be a day where nobody posted.

Because there would be nobody left to post.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think we all agree this is near impossible to do. That is enough reason for me to join. Why do people climb mountains after someone has already been up there?

This is also a group joining type of challenge also. People like to band together and often when they do great things get done. Part of me just likes to join the team and try and accomplish the goal. Just like the Forest thing I knew we were doomed. But the slight chance we might pull it off was a good enough reason for me to try.

I fail often I try often when I succeed it is sweet.

You are more of a loner you like to be different a rebel type. That's cool and you should not want or need to change but you can join and study us can't you? /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Btw I didn't talk for a day after I read your post and it was cool. I was not making fun of you I seriously thought you of all people should get it was all.

12-30-2005, 02:07 PM

If this could be done, I think it would be the single greatest accomplishment in the history of OOT. But as has been mentioned before, in order for it to work, there will need to be some type of punishment for those who do make posts on the assigned day.

Would the mods have the power to ban all IP addresses that post on that given day? I can't imagine so. Should we all simply ignore the users who post on that day? I guess that would be kind of cool; we would basically have two separate OOT boards functioning simultaneously on the same server. But until we find a way to punish those who do not follow the rules, this challenge will have no success whatsoever.

But I'm defiitely in.

i voted no because i think it's a stupid idea, i don't get it. i'm sure all of us can go a day without posting, sychronizing it is a different story.
i think i need a better reason than "just because" to do something silly to please bruiser. i mean, his brother is racist (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=exchange&Number=3999733&S earchpage=3&Main=3999733&Words=theBruiser500&topic =&Search=true#Post3999733)!!

Gorie no one expects you to understand it, you're a girl. Leave it to the smarter men on OOT to decide these matters and then follow orders.

Probably the same reason you have to edit your posts but never mark them as edited. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

so, what is the reason ?
i mean i figure the reason [censored] is a jerk to me is because he hates me. i'm just not sure why since i am so awesome. but i doubt that is the reason i edit my posts a lot or the reason you use emoticons. well, maybe !

You missunderstand me.

He does it because he does it to everyone if he is mean to you he is treating you as an equal it is a compliment coming from him.

You edit posts because that is what you do you can't help it and it is cute keep it up.

I use these /images/graemlins/crazy.gif stupid things because I'm trying to be /images/graemlins/cool.gif and impress people or I'm gay not sure yet. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Why don't you just close down OOT for a day through the forum software somehow? Or, uh, forever.

That would be sweet.

12-31-2005, 12:46 AM

I've been thinking about this, and I think we should do it. But don't make any threads about it. Just let this thread die, and PM all the regular OOTiots to decide on a day. When the day comes, all the noobs will be like "OMG everybody in OOT died!" Then if they talk about it in another forum just say "OOT? What's that?"

I'll give you 5-1 that you can't get a 24 hour period w/ 10 or fewer posts on OOT, and I'll put a large amount of money on that.

Obviously server downtimes and moderator interfercence would not be allowed.

pokerdirty

12-31-2005, 03:38 AM

I'm sort of surprised with the moderaters going along with this, especially with how anal they are about the advertisers. If everyone knows that OOT (the forum with the almost double (or more) the traffic of every other catagory on the site) is going to be off, people might decide to not even sign on that day, or something, I'm sure you get what I'm trying to get at.

Considering the first response to this thread is from [censored], both [censored] and astro have posted in favor of this, and the post is 100+ posts long, I sorta think that clues that they are going along with it.

I said I would do it. I don't have a problem, it will probably be fun to [censored] with the person who doesn't see the sticky and gets banned. I said I was surprised that the mods are going along with it though.

What if we did it this way?

Make a thread and people post stating which side they are on. Side one is the group that wants no posts in oot for 24 hours. Side two is the group that thinks it is a stupid idea and that it could never work.

Anyone that does not post in the thread picking a side does not count in the challenge. Then the good part the rewards.

If someone from group 2 posts they are IP banned and everyone in their group is banned from oot.

If someone from group 1 posts they are NOT banned and everyone from their group is banned from oot.

If after 24 hours neither group has made posts then group 1 is banned from oot.

All participants have the option to chicken out after teams are final but only before the 24-hour challenge has started if they see a person on their team they don't trust has joined after they did.

You know keep it simple.

bruiser has still not explained the signifigance of this challenge, because basically there is none. It is impossible, and if it were to be achieved it would have the same importance as one thousand people hitting themselves in the head with a hammer for no reason.

MonkeeMan

How about this idea.

On the designated day everybody makes their own decision and either posts or doesn't post. Then the mods can do an analysis of post quality for that day and write up a report and post it on a day when everybody is posting (except for those people who don't post that day). If the report shows that the post quality for the day of some people not posting is of high enough quality then everybody who did post that day is given a '+' in their title, and anybody who didn't post for whatever reason is put on ignore by whoever wants to ignore them. If, however, the post quality is reported to be low by mod standards, then everybody who did post is ignored by everyone but their peers, and people who didn't post for whatever reason are given a '+' in their title, unless they have '**', which would screw eveything up.

That would rule.
