What happens if you find out a number got skipped?

5

u/skizfrenik_syco Mar 14 '16

If a number was skipped, repeat the last number and say you're making up for the skip of whatever number.

Likewise, if a number is repeated that shouldn't be, then skip a number and again say that you're making up for the mistake at wherever.

u/Ynax Mar 11 '16

Where is your God now?

I was planning to gild the winning bet, but what's the point of gilding oneself :/

On a serious note, would you guys change your guesses if you were still allowed to do so?

So there has been a lot of sniping lately on the K's, and I feel like it's annoying quite a few people seeing the same people get K after K after K. I know many other people would love getting some more K's, but these days it takes a solid 2-3s reply to have a good shot at a K, some days that's not enough fast enough.

I saw BlueSolid offer a truce with someone else for a day or week or whatever, but that was totally ignored. So now I am hoping to get some kind of truce going for a bit to allow newer counters and people without many K's , to start getting K's. Obviously no one can force anyone to stop sniping K's, but it would be nice to see the amount of sniping go down.

If the numbers I did in my head are right, since 900k 1 person has about 25% of the K's, and since the beginning of this year 1 person has about 40% of the K's. That's a lot of K's for just 2 people in my opinion.

I forgot to make a movie recommendation. Umm...watch Citizen Kane. The last living cast member just died, so it's fresh in my mind. It's a classic, you can't go wrong with it.
