It is still invalid to post 3, and that (-3) is what I put in the spreadsheet when I updated it this afternoon for you. At least I realised that it wasn't 111!

Last weekly scores of the year! I may post a midweek update to 31st if that is wanted, though. Comments?

Everyone who did actually post scored over 1500. DavidC scored highest this week alone, for the sixth week in a row. Total point scored this week is 12,390, which is 102.6% of the total points claimable as there was 13 bells claimed (valid) before 9 o'clock last Sunday.

Do we play to the second of the post - or just the minute?

A Challenge - can you confirm how you are scoring this? Thanks

[DavidC]

Sorry for a silly question, moley, but where are the seconds shown ? Thanks.

[moley]

Maybe it's just my view that shows seconds! You can change it in your settings where you choose your time zone.

Imdirectly that answers my question.

[DavidC]

Yes - mine just showed HH:MM. I have just changed mine using the Custom option from "d M Y, H:i" to "d M Y, H:i:s" after delving into the fascinating write-up on the parameter values (including their case-sensitive nature) !

I don't have seconds on my user though if that is how to do it then I might do it and be a bit stricter. Hower, in the rules, it says nothing, and the closest I can find is that:

4. Multiple claims at the same time

If two or more claims are made at the same time (that is, they have the same timestamp on them), the first valid claim will get the points claimed. The remaining claims will simply be ignored and the clock will be reset as usual. If the first claim in post order is invalid, then that player will have points deducted, and the next valid claim in post order will get the points, and so on.

The reason why I note this is that claims at the same time are not counted with negative points and if we play to the second then not getting negative points would be a lot more unfair as posting to the second of another post that is at the same time will be hard, and the points would be deducted.

Also the scoresheet would need to be adapted slightly and the old posts would end up being all on zero seconds, so this idea would probably need to have a score reset.

leamfarrar 1950 12150

Everyone who did actually post scored over 1500. DavidC scored highest this week alone, for the sixth week in a row. Total point scored this week is 12,390, which is 102.6% of the total points claimable as there was 13 bells claimed (valid) before 9 o'clock last Sunday.

The last post I counted last week was leamfarrar's post 03/01/2015 06:18 as it had happened before the score update. this means that the total points scored is 12,180, which is actually 99.67% of total points claimable. The logic behind what had happened still works, though. What it should be is in quotes below, including leamfarrar's new score and the correct overall points.

...this idea would probably need to have a score reset.

Fine by me

Incidentally, under the seconds approach, you were five seconds early with your 90 weeds claim tonight ...

5 seconds? Who cares, we are playing to the minute and I got it in in the same minute even though it wad 5 seconds early. Also, I am playing (and scoring) to the accuracy of to the minute because I can't find the to the second in the User Control Panel.

A score reset! What do the other players think about having a score reset?
