Open Thread/Worst Moneybutt match up

I'd hate to run into that on a dark alley. Then again, I'd have Huston with me in the dark alley with me and he'd drive him away with his mad nunchuck ninja skills.

Yeah, there are easy ways to force people to vote for the horrible choices, but I didn't want to do that. HOWEVER, I was considering that every time you go up a voting level (every 50 votes or so), having the program figure out a Very Painful Choice (judging from your voting record) and forcing you to vote that before you can go on. Deliciously painful? Just plain painful?
I've almost used up my ideas for improving Moneybutt. Further ideas:

track who submits which picture
allow people to write very short comments on either entities or on pictures, which get randomly displayed
more/fancier user achievement badges
report instantly how others have voted on the one you just voted on

Any other ideas for making it more fun? (or comments on these ideas?)

Well, okay, I like all of the ideas. Also, I always kind of want to know who has the same #1 person as me. Well, okay, no one, but maybe who's most similar? I know you already have that but it only says how we're different, but I'd like to know why we're the same.

moo ha ha

I'm glad Painful Choice is so painful. For my next trick, I shall blot out the sun. moo ha ha ha ha!

I tweaked it so you get about half Battle of the Worst and half Battle of the Best. Let me know how that feels.

I was just thinking that!

My battle of the best was getting to be a cake walk! I like the battle of the worst too!

Another thought

Is there a way to get it to battle ones that have the same average, since ties are not allowed. I have a lot that have a .941 avg. So is there a way to set the battle up elsewhere in the line up?

you mean

like any tied entities, like battle of the .650 entities? I could do that. But I thought it would be more painful <rubs hands> if it were only the battle of the most loved and loathed.

In theory we now alternate taking your favorite pair you haven't rated yet and your lowest unrated pair. In my case, that always turns out to be the top and bottom two. In theory, if you vote a lot it should gracefully drop down until it finds a pair that you haven't rated yet... is that working for the people who (for instance) have achieved Major Metallic Butt status?

It has been working.

I guess my issue is that the painful one is becoming not so painful. Mostly because the ones that have 1.000 are ones that I have only voted 3 or 4 times for and just happened to win. I mean, Bobby Crosby vs. Cartman! No contest! But yeah, if there was a way to throw in directly tied entities, that would be good. That way I know my painful one won't always be vs. Bobby.

Ok, I take it back!

Just cause I said that, my painful one was not Bobby! It was George W. Bush vs. Alissa Milano! Now THAT is what I call painful!!

Oh Thank YOU!

I was afraid I was one of the only ones voting against Stanford! I can't help myself, I went to SJSU!

ok

I tweaked it a little so it isn't always the top or bottom pair, but it will be in the top or bottom few. Let me know how that works out.

For a painful choice, I just got

The Donnas (8-7) versus Kermit (4-3). Is it now going after near .500 entities?

by Nimvee on Nov 14, 2005 2:09 PM PST up reply actions

yes part of a devious plan

to introduce dumb bugs into the script. It works now. You should get a slightly varying selection of your top and bottom pairs.

Booo.

Kotsay vs. Hatty? And that was only my first painful choice. Meh. I don't know if I'm strong enough for this.

Crap! Kotsay vs. Huddy. Pretty soon it's gonna be Kotsay vs. the world, cuz I gotta stick with current A's...

And I knew this was gonna happen. Kotsay vs. AN. I just don't know what to do...

Painful choice...

Boston Red Sox vs. Jellied Ram's Testicles. I hate Apricot. Hmm... if I refresh... Huddy vs. Million Bucks... refresh... Katie Holmes vs. Wedgies... phew, better.

bugs be gone

I believe it's working now. Refresh should do you no good. You'll get a mix of best pairs and worst pairs, sometimes ignoring ones with perfect scores. Feels good and painful when I test it out.

Hurts so good... c'mon baby... etc.

so...

some of you are for the fifth or sixth time getting close to the end of my list of voter levels.

Should I make up more, or is it more satisfying to reach the end of the list?

by Apricot on Nov 14, 2005 3:27 PM PST reply actions

Ok, Issue!

To Vote or Not to Vote for The Bash Brother... That is the question! I hate, HATE, HATE!!! Canseco! But I love MacGwire! What is a girl to do!?

Throwback Uniforms

Does anyone have any more pictures of the Throwback Uniforms? I really like the pic of Zito in one and if anyone has more pics of the current team in them, I would really appreciate you sharing them with me. Thanks!
