[tomo]

[McGinge]

I said be serious.... You dont have one good reason do you... One impact it would have.... Go on...

[tomo]

[McGinge]

[tomo]

no... i will need to write a few more letters in results and i will need to make a decision... because of this STUPID creativity...

[NickyNick]

Ok, clan won't do anything bad for you, Mr. Howels. And I'm not interested in that you don't like it. The same logic.

I've NO idea what you just said... Can you please rephrase it?

Edit: I'm slightly freaked out by the fact that you just used my real surname...

[NickyNick]

I just tried to point on your logical mistakes. You said: "Creativity Medals won't do anything bad for you. So it's great idea, let's do it!".
Now, I'm saying: "JoIN clan won't do anything bad for you. So it's great idea, we'll form it!". Do you want this? I don't want to crash the forum with powerful clan force, but it will be fun for Jon, Ike and me to work in team.
Think about people who don't want Creativity Medals. These subjective awards won't be good, so they annoy people. Think about it!

Im not saying that everyone should just take up something thats not bad... The majority of people like it, and it wont hurt those who dont. Sorted.

Well, the moderators might not be for it, but the main person (who could that be?) EDIT: seems like he likes it. and what he says, goes. If he says no, I'll abandon the fight for the medal. I have other things I can do, but I like this idea and have been very entertained by all this debate.

Well, the moderators might not be for it, but the main person (who could that be?) likes it.

Actually, technically he just said

So, I read the "Creativity Medal" threads... and I really like these medal designs by Overlord.

meaning that he like the designs, then commented on how it would be able to be implemented never saying that he likes it... (He may have implied it, but never actually said "I like this idea.") He might like it, but until he says that, you can't use that argument...
Also, the (active) mods spent a lot more time on these forums, and probably know what's best for the community more than PeterT. (I'm new, so I don't know if that's accurate, but it seems like it is to me) So, even though PeterT is higher up, maybe he should listen to what the mods think.

Good point. I fixed that.

Maybe.

to add creativity prefixes would triple or quadruple the amount of ranks required (one rank for every prefix and main title combination). This is exceedingly inelegant and not quite scalable.

I am quite inexperienced with coding but have learned enough to wonder:

Why can't you have something like:


PseudoCode:

Code: Select all

Loop
{
Text = Next line in tally
If(text contains "certain name here"
{
ThatPerson's medal count + 1
}
If(text = "end")
{
Break
}
}

Loop
{
Text = Next line in >>>creativity<<< tally
If(text contains "certain name here"
{
ThatPerson's >>>creativity<<< count + 1
}
If(text = "end")
{
Break
}
}

Now that you have variables Thatpersonsmedalcount and Thatpersonscreativitycount you can just do:

More PseudoCode:

Code: Select all

TitleText=Prefix[thatpersonscreativitycount]." ".rank[thatpersonsmedalcount]

Where there is simply a list of prefixes and ranks and 2 are stuck together.

Ha ha ha, "majority". Tell me, who likes Creativity Medal idea and wants to pass it.

[JustcallmeDrago]

"Majority"

I ask about list of users who like Creativity Medal idea, not about this. Do me a favour, please
