I think that's enough beta testing. Arcanaville 1.0 should be ready for go-live now.
Do you need me to make a trailer for it?

No offense, I like you, and you've helped me out with a couple things in the past, but I really thought you were above measuring parts you don't even technically have.

Insert my stock response to anyone who does this: So?



I'm only ladylike when compared to my sister.

So? So nothing. It's a little fun. A diversion.

This was the part where you were supposed to laugh, shake your head a little, and tell Arcanaville that she spends way too much time on something she's not getting paid for.

(theoretically - at least I'm pretty sure she's not on PS's payroll )

No.

I like and respect Arcana, but posting a big "look at me I made lots of posts" thread is always.. well I can't say that politely, so I won't, because again, I like and respect her. Conversely, I won't pander either.

I have around 35k posts on another forum network. all it proved was that I wasted my time.

I thought it was noting a milestone, like taking a picture of a car's odometer when it's rolling over. It's not an "I'm better than you because my car has 100,000 units of distance traveled" it's a "Wow, I've got 100,000 units of distance. That seems significant to me and I would like to recognize it."

Do you also consider celebrating a birthday a "parts measuring contest"?

*Not saying there's anything wrong with that...just sayin'
If you'll notice, that's not one of the things on my list.

Oh great, now I've gone and made a list.

I'm done.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

You're absolutely right. I'm embarrassed I didn't consider this earlier.


I forgot to estimate the time I've spent on the forums.

Estimated time spent on forums: ~3200 hours; 1.1 hours per day

Also, it occurs to me that all my saved threads over the years contain my post count at various moments in time. And that data can be plotted:



There's actually some interesting information encoded in that graph. For example, I can see the pseudo "break" I took between the middle of '08 and the beginning of '09 pretty clearly. I can see Hamidon (version 1.0) and City of Heroes Freedom as well.

30,000 posts and 5 million words. Wow.

If Arcanaville's posts were Spartan warriors, than she'd have enough manpower to cover the Battle of Thermopylae in 100 alternate timelines. (okay, 20 timelines if some of her less aggressive posts cover for the Thebans and the Thespians as well)

If Arcanaville's posts were a power level, she could make Vegeta cry out in disbelief in a meme-inspiring way three and one-third times.

When the singularity comes and the CoH servers awaken to sentience, they will no doubt declare Arcanaville a prophet and compile her posts up to this point into their holy book. At which point they will gloat that their holy writings have 6.4537 times as many words as the Bible.

I guess what I'm saying is... that's a lot of words.

Congrats, because "Time you enjoy wasting is not time wasted."

I was getting ready to congratulate you... until I saw you made a graph.

That's just... I mean... I... you...

The fact that you made a graph is so silly it broke my brain. Thanks >=(

Oh, I see the problem now. He used a capital letter for the definite article and you're not supposed to do that in the middle of a sentence. Yeah, I agree with the others, that's pretty stupid.

Also, the exclamation mark should be at the end, and a comma put in its place. What a grammatical light-weight.

I wrote a computer program to extract the data to make a graph.


Its still not as whacked as opening 2400 superpacks, though.

If that's what you can do with words, I shudder to think what you could do if you started making videos. All of a sudden I have this mental image of you doing a SHOGUN-length miniseries about the Rikti War or something.

Coincidentally, I have the same response to your post: So?
I found her post amusing.
Don't actually care whether or not anyone else did.
