Moneybutt: The Butts of Summer
Update [2006-7-30 2:12:59 by Apricot]: Your many (30,000+) votes have upset the server and caused very annoying data corruption. So, I'm going to have to call off this round for official results until another time I can properly support and wrestle with the server. I'll leave it up, but it will probably continue to need resetting in this annoying way. :(
Okay, it's clearly time for another round of Moneybutt. This began as an attempt to quantitatively rate people's butts, but has grown, like a strange mold, into something bigger.
In short:
- You vote on choices between two entities.
- Every few votes, you get a special choice... sometimes you're forced to rate pairs against pairs, other times Moneybutt tries to give you a painful choice.
- It's free. Vote as much as you like, using whatever criteria you like.
- You get little badges for voting a lot. Voters are listed in order of number of votes.
- You can limit your voting to certain categories, like "Oakland A's" or "Men" or "Women" (or combinations). You can even edit your prefs to never see entities from categories, e.g. "Gross". (Now why would we need a feature like that?)
- You are encouraged to add new pictures for existing entities.
- You are encouraged to add new entities. PG images only please, and try to link only to the bigger websites. You should put your new entity into the right categories as well. Seeing people's added pictures and entities is my favorite part.
- There isn't much documentation, but you should be able to figure things out clicking around the top area of the page.
- The website is linked at http://owlmelon.com/moneybutt
- I turned off the game for a while because it was maxing out my server limits, but I've got a new server now, so do your worst. Heh heh.
The current rankings of A's related entities are posted below. But since the last vote (Thanksgiving 2005), AN has gained a lot of different people whose opinions may be different. I will post the new rankings sometime after the weekend of Aug 5 (depending on when I can get net access on the road!).
Good luck!

Yay
The Word: Or bitter sports journalists.
the new ones are pretty great
I can't wait for the next AN Photo Contest! (Maybe after the end of the season...?)
Some of the choices are cracking me up like crazy.
one thing I really enjoy
dagnabbit, Apricot
I'm glad to see my efforts to pull Mark Ellis' ranking up out of the dungeon paid off, though... even though it meant doing really difficult things, like voting for him over chocolate... ;)
Woohoo!
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fortunately for me...
flaming server ashes
It is back, but I have unfortunately (depending on your point of view) lost the voting records. Sorry. You will all get a refund in the mail.
Good lord, man!
<gasp>
<sobs>
<eats frozen custard>
<ices wrist>
the votes are backed up
Actually, it's a little more fun now that it's easier for people to move up the voter standings. It was basically impossible for newcomers to break into the top 20 before.
The big downside for me is that after you vote for a while, the Painful Choices get really really excruciating, and it's not as painful in the early going.
It's always the PAIRS that get me...
Anna Benson and Monica Bellucci vs...
Everyone's a winner!
In every man's life...
She's not a keeper, but man, would she be a great plaything.
My painful duo
That one ran me out.

Baby W will have her day
Okay, even though I'm home now...
weird
yep... went to the owlmelon link in the diary...
I probably broke it last time I played.
I should make a new account and try to sneak in...
LMAO... that actually worked!
way to blow your cover
"NotNotPoppy_NoReally!_"
Wonder how long names can get...
{makes appointment with neurologist}
This is cruel...
Gahh.
Must... close... browser...
Ugh
sigh
Sniffle.
Consider this run a beta at your own risk henceforth...
