Re: The Secret Rule (2)

If you noticed, every rule breaking post (except the hummerz' one) has under 12 characters.
Except the hummerz' one means it probably isn't the rule.
If hummerz said that we were close to it, then we must think like the people who guessed before

It isn't true.

Re: The Secret Rule (2)

It's been an hour that I'm thinking about the rule. Still no idea.

Re: The Secret Rule (2)

Is the rule to use spaces?

we don't answer questions. You get one guess (er, got).

My bad, I'll correct the sentence:
Guess: The rule is to use spaces, any post without spaces is rulebreaking

Hummerz what happened to this guess?

I know you stopped giving hints but are you trying to guess your rule then?

Hummerz what happened to this guess?

his guess was "is the rule to use spaces" and you only get one guess, you can guess the guess but then that's your only guess

My point was, at the time of quoting this, hummerz had neither marked the guess as correct nor incorrect. I also knew this person had not made a guess yet and even if they did then hummerz should have marked it as invalid.

I see now that hummerz has gone back and edited it to say incorrect.

Re: The Secret Rule (2)

I goofed. But I also figure that a lot of the guesses can be verified as incorrect by simply checking through the posts. We've had posts break the rules that have spaces, etc, etc.

a difficult rule, says I

Re: The Secret Rule (2)

One thing I would say though is since hummerz missed that guess it means he isn't reading every post to check for the rule break as such. Instead, he detects it automatically through a plugin thing (that's how my rule was checked) so now I'm trying to think along the lines of something like that.

Knowing railmat it's something whacky anyway.

Re: The Secret Rule (2)

Also, my advice to others with guesses intact is to figure out what the posts the break the rules are missing.

From what I can tell, the reason the short posts are rulebreaking is that they are missing things that longer posts naturally have more chance of containing. Hence the rule is probably something like "must have X"

So then we get a few short posts that contain whatever is needed and some long posts that don't.

I was thinking about characters and symbols and began thinking if it was something like it must contain different symbols but I didn't get anywhere with that. (I thought about that since a lot of the rulebreaking posts are entirely numbers or entirely letters with space being a crucial symbol that makes a post no longer rulebreaking).

I also noticed my "!" post was not rulebreaking which would also suggest symbols being part of the soloution but, again, there are small posts that don't have anything like that yet don't break the rule.
