I'm excited to see the extended version. In particular, I'm looking for worlds of incorrect sizes. I've been hunting for years, actually. I can say with confidence that we're missing like... five?

this is really cool. When you made that "shelter" from the rain with the gray blocks... that is really cool

they should campaign this

Now this is why I still check the forums

is it 998?

Now I want to outdo your nitpick. Even more quibbling, you don't need to disable the CSS. Just read the source code and call it good...

I like where n1kf is going with this. What would it take to make a legit mathematical proof of this?

It'd take proof by induction because of the repetition and the building on itself. (Right?)

To establish our base case, I imagine we'd need to prove enough beginning numbers to show what N1KF is pointing out. Mainly, that no addition to a given number string can 'jump over' our pool of known sequences leading to four.

So, what's the biggest jump we'd have to account for, the biggest change that could not be broken down in the middle. I.e., going from eighty-four million to nine hundred eighty four million ...  we get a few more characters, but we have an interim point of "one hundred eighty four million"

Just some more thoughts. I suppose I'm missing the argument as to why we can assume that subdividing jumps allows us to conclude we have the otherwise max-jump size.

edit: wait, I'm looking at this all wrong.

Yeah. But also, which EE are you referring to? The late-stage EE that was right before flash got axed? Or are you talking Benjaminsen era? That's where I get nostalgic. (But hopefully not elitist)

Side note, I ran into an article (on Firefox/Pocket?) about how apparently the death of Google Reader marked the end of the Good Internet. That makes me wonder just how many different claims on nostalgic internet exist out there.

It seems a bit unrealistic to try and convince countries that they should purchase the vaccines and then not receive them.

That said, something in the news today struck me as relevant. India has started requiring that otherwise-exported vaccines must be used for domestic concerns first. But they're also hurting quite a bit. So perhaps while it might sound best to share vaccines, there's an argument to be made that you're saving the most lives by sending them to the places that take the situation the least seriously. In theory, the folks who follow health guidelines would have less extreme crises. Thoughts?

Too bad that vaccinations don't prevent spread except in the larger understanding...

At this point, though, we've now got variants to deal with and consider how they're going to fly with the vaccines.

Luka, sounds like your experience was faster than most. But to my surprise, they didn't even care if I stuck around. Just popped in, got shot, and then I was on my own.

9.6 doses for every 100 people doesn't seem promising so far in terms of "herd immunity"

Does anyone know, is this going to be something that we end up handling like the flu? (i.e., yearly shots to handle mutations/strains)

Precisely. The world owner could be the person doing this anyway. And it doesn't seem that the new moderation team wants to take the libertarian "don't like the world? Don't join it!" for one thing, that doesn't really handle any of the legal issues lol.

I think this is a great idea, getting the temperature of the community before drawing up specifics of the rule system. Hopefully this granularity will help with perceived fairness of moderation.

edit: of course, there's still the issue of skew between the sampled answering community members and the actual population demographics, but as you mentioned, that is being taken into account.

^ Have to agree with Tomahawk on this point. A lot of arguments for moving forward with this game seem to focus on decluttering. I realize I'm late to this discussion, but that's one of the main reasons for not having a 1:1 relationship between game items. Aside from that, there's no way to ensure that everyone's content by the transfer, surely.

And I think it's correct. Between the two, I'd rather have that small token as opposed to locking down where the next steps can take the community/game.

I don't think this has been addressed. I think the underlying idea is that there's still some skeleton crew of a community stuck to this name. Maybe you're implicitly arguing that there's no benefit to it, but having an automatic startup community has to be a little compelling. Too much distance would involve a greater stretch to tap that resource. Is it worth it? Heck if I know.
