Moneybutt 3: Hinder Pot Luck / Open Thread

Hinder Pot Luck.  Okay, I think we know what happens in the classic format of Moneybutt. Basically, a fair number of people enjoy clicking on a few butts and looking at pictures and a small number totally lose their minds and wake up in some hospital with their wrist in a cast.

I wanted to try something different this time. This will probably be disastrous one way or another. Here's the idea.

  1. Like last time, you sign in, you choose between entities, votes are counted.
  2. Slightly different voter badges, same stats on who voted like you.
  3. You can now ADD your own entities to be rated with picture. You can add pictures to existing entities.
#3 is the kicker. I haven't put too many entities in the pot so far, so I'm counting on you all to come up with good ones.

I am requesting that you submit any entities you want, EXCEPT: (1) reasonably sized PG-13 pictures only, please; (2) No entities that post on Athletics Nation; and special to this particular round: (3) No entities from the last round, Hinderlord.

So, please have fun with it. It seems to work for me.

I'm expecting to leave it up and see what happens. It might be that someone will pollute the database with inappropriate pictures and I'll have to close it down. It could be that it's not very fun without the usual hottie A's. I don't know. But even if this round doesn't work out, I bet this will evolve into something interesting eventually.

Oh yeah: the link is http://owlmelon.com/cgi-bin/hinderpotluck.pl

Help!
I haven't started voting but I need some things explained to me.
  1. We add our own photos/URL/whatever on the other site?
  2. And you said "No entities from the last round," right? Why are there A's players up?
  3. Anything can be posted?

by Jennifer on Nov 11, 2005 7:55 AM PST reply actions  

Oops...
I added A's players.  It wasn't fun without them.  :-/

And I think the answer to your first question is yes.  

And you can post any entity as long as it's PG-13 and not an ANer.

How long does it take for entities to show up?
I just put up a lot of new voting possibilities, who have yet to show up... I'm guessing Apricot has to serve as somewhat of a buffer, or what's the hold up? Yes, I know I'm impatient.

For one brief moment in time
I was #1. I was a Super Bantamweight and had cost more votes than anybody. It's not going to last, heck pbruins has probably already passed me already. But that doesn't matter, no one can take away the fact that for this brief moment, I am the best.

And any man who doesn't have Catherine Zeta undefeated has problems.

You go to the form from the link under your name "add entity" and remember to hit the submit button. You'll know it works when the page tells you it's been accepted... the name will also show up on the list at the bottom.

If you have trouble, post the link here and I'll add it for you.

as for who is allowed in the mix
I'm not going to be a hardass (so to speak) about it... I mainly wanted people to be inventive and not re-create Moneybutt 1 and 2.  

I personally would like some new people to vote on...

But actually, I think we have the right number of A's players in the mix right now... not too many, but they pop up regularly like old friends.

by Apricot on Nov 11, 2005 9:20 AM PST up reply actions  

Thanks
I figured out the problem... Netscape browsers are apparantly anti-Moneybutt.

update
  1. Great submissions, everyone. I'm amazed the quality of the submissions has been so high. I thought by now some idiot would have tried to mess things up.
  2. I did nuke that PG-17 picture of Anna Benson. In the future I'll make it easier to flag questionable submissions... for now this thread is what we have.
  3. I put in a fix for the Submit bug. I submitted successfully on Netscape 7 and IE 5.1 for Mac, as well as Omniweb (so Safari should work).
The bug was, more for my records than your interest, the submit button had name="Submit" and type="Submit" but NOT value="Submit". The non-working browsers assumed the value was blank. The buttons are correct now.

Hey Apricot
Could you nuke the Josie Maran pictures that are not working? I'm afraid that's what's keeping her all the way down there... tis a crime to hold that against her!

What constitutes PG-13?
I thought no nudity and that's it. Underwear/swimwear still allowed, no?

update
  1. That's a lot of votes. We have racked up about 38,000 votes so far in less than a day. Hinderlord took 2 and a half days to get there. I have 12GB of bandwidth. So far Moneybutt 2 and one day of Hinderpotluck has eaten about 3 GB of it. I think I can survive the weekend.
  2. I'm hoping to leave this up for the weekend. Hinderpotluck traffic should slow down considerably, if the past is a guide. If it gets too close to my bandwidth limit (unlikely), I'll close it down.
  3. Sometimes the site got slow. I don't know why... when traffic is clear, several of us can vote simultaneously without problems and the page is taking less than a second to compute, even tracking all the votes and new entities. Right now it is humming, which for me makes it 100x more addictive... I hit Submit and the next choice pops up and my brain starts evaluating it before my hand can close the window.
  4. Improvements.
  • I added little Google bugs to the pictures so I could figure out who half these new entities are.
  • Because of the hacky way I first threw this together, it took some work to edit and merge entities. It's much easier now.
  • I fixed a bug which allowed pairs to repeat once. Now you should never see a pair repeated.
  • Since no one besides Jennifer noticed or complained, I'm leaving in the "feature" where all pictures are scaled to the same width, even though it does make some pictures look blocky.
  1. Thanks for everyone's great additions. That has made this round of Hinderpotluck way more fun for myself than the previous two. I've really enjoyed the surprises. I've voted more this round than the last two combined.
  2. If people have any requests or suggestions for this round or the future, I'm all ears. This thread is the place for it. You did notice you can get directly to this thread via the third link under your name in Hinderpotluck, right? I don't feel like opening more diaries.

No worries. I notice the pixels too.

You should be more apologetic about your red Dolph picture.

brief update
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome v. Tommy John. heh heh.

I added two little links to each picture. Now you can

  • google the entity in a new window (as before)
  • see the original unscaled picture in a new window
  • report a bad picture, either for lewdness or dysfunction.

Huston Street
He should not even be entered in the next Moneybutt. He's hors concours. He's the Harlem Globetrotters of Moneybutt. It's not even fair. All his rabid groupies stay up until the wee hours of the morning voting for him. It gives no hope for us rabid fans of Monica Bellucci or Josie Maran.

I agree.
It's not fair. How can Dolph Lundgren expect win with that competition?

I really enjoy making
choices that are entirely sacreligious.  Such as:  Ben Rothlisberger (sp?) over Gandhi.  "Click" oh did I just do that?  Ha ha!  Must go vote some more!

by rubin sierra on Nov 12, 2005 12:59 PM PST reply actions  

I also dig
the new "google" button; this is educational.  I just googled Ataturk and now find myself embroiled in internet research to see to what extent he's responsible for the massacre of Armenians circa WWI.  Because my research was inconclusive at best, I went ahead and voted for Storm Davis over him, just to be on the safe side.

by rubin sierra on Nov 12, 2005 1:11 PM PST up reply actions  

I now find
the google button indispensable. I've learned a lot, mainly about who's on current TV shows...

by Apricot on Nov 12, 2005 1:20 PM PST up reply actions  

Head-to-Head
Apricot, just wondering, are you going to compile and divulge the head-to-head numbers? Like say when Lutefisk went up against Dolph Lundgren, who won more?

by OaktownTribesman on Nov 12, 2005 5:20 PM PST reply actions  

it is possible to do
but I'd need to add a little code. I had played with the idea of having it tell you immediately how other people voted on that particular pair, but I wasn't sure whether people cared about that.
