I hope today I can get a 7 pointer in Blue again and a lot of points in the other categories. If I keep this up I can maybe reach Zander by the end of the month. I can't promise anything for today though. I just know I'm gonna be up all night typing haha.

Lexatom : Good luck only 5 more days of the month. I wonder what will happen at the end though, its going to be quite intense to see....

Wow! All 7 pointers, in all 4 Jerseys? That's awesome! XD Great job, everyone!

Lexatom :  
It's a shame how much of a disadvantage you were put at, and have to come back from. It's pretty safe to assume that if things had played out differently, you would've scored much more consistently, and wouldn't have as much of a gap to close.
( This isn't a shot at anyone, just looking at it objectively. )

You got this though man. Just keep going for a few more days, and I know you can pull it off  

Mynamescox44 :

On the flip side, if he manages to come back from this it would be either the biggest, or second biggest upset in TDV history (pacman1755 had an insane one himself).

I'm trying to make his life difficult though. And seemingly, so is Yuna. Yuna is pretty much the undisputed champ of green (I wish we could do something to make the green fair for non-staff), and I can drop tons of huge posts whenever I want (I have a lot of free time this weekened ) so you have arguably two of the best in those two categories giving Lexatom a hard time.

He's just going to need to be consistent in this last week of competition. As it stands, he is in position where he CAN win the TDV, he just needs a bit of luck on his side to make it work out.

Lexatom : Come on lunar you can do it! Just really push yourself to the limit as much as you can. @.@

If we didn't have enough with all the open battles in the frontline, you can get some interesting facts in the Hall of Fame as well

- leggy could be getting an overall jersey nearly 5 years since he last walked away with a jersey/banner in a TdV. Definitely not something we see in our average day considering not many users stay active for that period of time, let alone actively compete in this.

- As of today, Yuna and leggy are tied at 78 total jerseys. Quite curious that two of the most active jersey winners this month are actually tied for that historic stat.

There are other minor facts, like leggy able to get 2nd overall for most Yellow jerseys, but still I'm impressed there are this many battles on and off the frontline.

Lexatom : I'm rooting for you too, if you really put your mind to it you can come back and win this! Like people said before, we need a new TdV winner

I placed in the yellow jersey on accident the other day! I only made a couple posts and that got me in 7-pointers in all 4 jerseys is really something. I don't think that's ever happened before and even for an inactive competition that's very unlikely to occur.

Pacman+Mariofan : Its fine! Sometimes people accidentally place in Jerseys, and are not always aware of this most of the time. XD

Today's Double CP Action is Review.



Yuna1000 gets 2 Jerseys.

Something really needs to be done with that green jersey. It's outrageously biased towards Staff+ and is a huge "screw you" to other users, making it almost impossible for a normie like me to get a Green Jersey. I'm surprised nothing has been done with it after all this time.

Lexatom : Well....most people kind of gotten used to it. If you want that jersey....you have to find a way what makes actions more towards to get higher points. That's the only advice I can give to help if you also want to get the green jersey. Its not just about reposting in your threads or in threads. There are other ways.

Eniitan :

What he's saying is physically, it is impossible most days, for a non-staff member to win green.

Red is winnable, because seldom will a staff member be able to max their CP earnings in a day.

Green, however, is not easy to win, because of the bias torwards how many actions a staff member can do.

For example, Yuna, who won green with 343 actions, can get 400 "actions" from just posting, whereas Lexatom, a trusted user, can only get 75 maximum. It's like this with every category. For Lexatom to get 343 actions, he has to max out posts, submit 150 screenshots, and STILL find a way to get 120 or so more actions through either rating things, and the like, while hoping that Yuna decides NOT to use her insane advantage.

Additionally, as staff, she has access to things like Ignoring Post Words, Staff Forum posts, and assigning reviews and screenshots, something Lexatom can't even get 1 "action" for.

The top 5 in yellow? Non-staff (the top 2 are non-staff!)
In blue? 3 non-staff.
In red? 2 non-staff.

In green? 0 non-staff. The closest is Lexatom in 6th, and he's the only non-staff to score more than 10 in that category this month.

I never bother competing for it, since I know I cannot possibly compete with a staff member. It also isn't fun to compete in green, so that's part of it as well.

legacyme3 : Oh.... I see, thanks leggy! Its always better to have someone to explain what someone else's post mean.^^

Wow, looks like this will be a close race between Yuna and Lexatom for the rainbow banner! These next few days will be interesting for that reason.

Pacman+Mariofan :

Yeah, and I pee myself everyday while I'm at school because I have no access to Vizzed there lol. I always worry that something has gone terribly wrong and then I get home and it ends up just fine most of the time.

legacyme3 : Posts only count as one action, as appointed in the opening thread alongside many others.

True is that some staff-exclusive actions are still being counted, but some people argue that such actions not counting would mean that some staff wouldn't be contributing as much. I don't follow this idea, but it's there and keeping the discussion going.

Another thing is, like you mention, the daily limits allowed to each rank. Some ideas were thrown to limit the number of actions for all members to a certain level, probably Trusted, but again they didn't go through. In this case, the above argument of staff not contributing as much would have a bit more meaning, but even then we fully know what each member needs for quota based on non-TdV days and it's perfectly doable.

The discussion has been going on for a lot of time, and even Red hasn't been exempt of some adjustments to try to nullify the advantage of staff members. However, the problem here is quite huge and no real solution has been given out yet. Probably it's time to include non-staff in the discussion as well, but that's not up to solely me to decide.

EX Palen :

Clearly, it's bugged.

Or I'm seeing things.



I'll post a screenshot after this post, when it will be 15.

EDIT



Hey look I was right.

Unless you mean to tell me that I got a CP for refreshing the TDV page, since that's literally the only other thing I've done since starting this post.

legacyme3 : Yep, it's clearly bugged. We barely have reports for the Green jersey, so no wonder why it slipped.

Davideo7 : Green jersey needs a fix there, not all actions listed as counting only once are actually counting just once for the day.

ooo Deja vu~  lol

legacyme3 : And Yuna has been trying very hard to not use her "insane" advantage, not that anyone has noticed... as usual...

*Looks at Limit Break for the nth time* ...
