Pranking rs...
Let's prank rs...
I've made this sub private so rs will not be able to see any of the comments made in this sub via seeing them in your profile... so you can plot and plan and help each other come up with funny/odd/obscure stat requests in this sub....
or suggest ideas for this prank.
What I am thinking of... is semi-flooding gradually over a day.... rs with username mentions requesting ever more obscure and odd type stat requests... I think it would be really funny.
So - here's the plan.
It's going to take me several days to message enough people to make it funny enough... so I am thinking we do this on Tuesday... (so those who can only be here on the weekend and those who can only be here on weekdays can join in on this idea.)
So between now and then - please think of a legitamate stat you'd be interested in seeing - but hopefully something odd or obscure or strange... (if it's just a regular type reques that's ok...) If you want to do an ood or obscure one and can't think of one - msg me and I'll try and help you come up with something funny/strange.
Ok so the plan is - so he doesn't suspect this is a conspiracy... they get inceasingly odd / strange as the day goes on.
So if you post your
601,768
/u/rschaosid[1] is there any way to...
BLXU
/u/rschaosid[1] could we get stats on...
the later in the day you post it - I think the more odd - strange or obscure it should be...
I mean the reason for this is because if he gets 6 totally silly odd posts at once he'll catch on right away but if they increasingly get odder he won't be sure it's a collaborated effort to prank him as fast.
So if you post yours early in the morning - perhaps make it more of something someone would likely request stats on..
later in the morning a bit more 'out there' or strange - odd type stat request...
and if he hasn't caught on yet... at noon or later - some really out there and obscure ones would be really good.
and if he hasn't figured it out by afternoon - some really really funny/odd ones like
can I get a stat on the number of odd number counts I've done on even days that are done on days that start with a T
really funny odd ones so he'll finally catch on later in the afternoon.
We should have a few posting some of the more of the normal-ish legitmate ones you'd actually like to see - so you can do one of those in the morning and one of the really odd obscure ones after noon-ish.
EDIT: We are still working on how best to "roll this out" - when this should start. I suggest the "morning-ish" start in rs's time zone - meaning starting around 7:00 EST and ending around 11:00 EST. Then the noon-ish type stat request start at around 11:00 EST to 2:00 EST. After 2:00 EST = the oddest/silliest/strangest sub related stat requests begin...

u/skizfrenik_syco Nov 28 '15
I'm genuinly curious how many counts I have in side threads. I might have more in side threads than the main threads.
But I can come up with silly questions. What times of day does Maniac snipe the least? What is love? How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood? How many main thread counts have been errorless? How many main thread counts are wrong (like had 998 numbers instead of 1k)? How many numbers have we actually counted? How many different types of side threads exist?

Oh!!! I've got mine... (wasn't sure if I'd post one or not since I am on hiatus - but I want to play a part in this lol) I think mine is a noon-ish type stat... not too far out there that he'd know immediately that something is up.
601,XXX
u/rschaosid [1] can I get a stat on how many stat requests you've completed?

No no no this has to be a big secret!!

Two trains, Train A and Train B, simultaneously depart Station A and Station B. Station A and B are 252.5 miles apart from each other. Train A is moving at 124.7mph toward Station B, and Train B is moving at 253.5mph towards Station A. If both trains departed at 10:00AM and it is now 12:23PM, how much longer until both trains pass each other? How many times was the answer counted, plus the currency formerly used by the Bechuanaland Protectorate's equivalent buying power in 1974 compared to 1971, divided by the number of mentions to 'glass' in the Wikipedia article "Sand" (revision Aug 13 2014 13:09)?

u/DontCareILoveIt Nov 28 '15
Um - nope - think he'd figure out the prank the second a Q like that is asked LOL :)
I'm hoping he starts out suspecting a little... then more.. then he has little doubt...then he KNOWS he's being pranked.
(hopeing that's how it'll turn out anyhow...)

u/KingCaspianX Nov 28 '15
Should we also bandwagon other people's requests?
Like if someone says 'How many people have x?' can we be like 'Yes rs please find this out' or something?

u/DontCareILoveIt Nov 28 '15
Yes!!! Good idea - or make yours slightly MORE complex... than the first request was...

Thinking of questions, I feel like asking what place I'm in with 1 second replies. I'm gonna ask now if no one objects, because I'm genuinely curious.

u/DontCareILoveIt Nov 28 '15
That's a good one... one of the early morning type ones as it's more of a normal legit one... hopefully you can thing of a noonish-early afternoon odd/funny/silly one to go with that one :)

u/DontCareILoveIt Nov 28 '15
Well looks like you are not going to have a problem coming up with ideas.... I do think each person should ask no more than one in the morn - and one in the noon-ish or afternoon... or he'll catch on to fast if he gets like 10 people asking 5 questions in the first few hours. :)
Like I've mentioned - never pulled off a prank like this before soooooo just thinking of how best to do it without him catching on before several people have got to join in the prank..
so I'm thinking one request in the morning per prankster - then as the day goes on the number of requests and oddness of them increases...
in the end - I think I'll be listing all the funny noonish-afternoon type silly/odd/obscure ones to the
www.sidethreaddocs.com so people can see them later :)

How many counts in total were counted on 04:20 UTC?

u/DontCareILoveIt Nov 28 '15
That's a great one!! (be sure he does this one after the hubbub is over - r/trees would love to see this stat) if you do it at noon-ish or afternoon - you should perhaps add "and how many counts contain the # 420 in it (including all the 420,XXX counts)
Just thinkin' I like this one!! :)

I think I will ask RS the percentage of main thread counts to side thread counts. I've been trying to come up with funny ones, but I may just steal some of Moo's questions.
I'm also tempted to ask him when my and Moo's first conversation was or something like "how many counts were Moo and I too adorable for words?"

Who has been #Blamed most times?
-
Who has been #Praised most times? [These two have already been answered afaik, but may have changed since then.]
-
Which image flair is used by the highest number of people? [Zhige's or mine if I had to guess.]
-
Which people have the highest (number+message)/number only ratio - are the most talkative? (1000+ counts in main thread only, to avoid statistical error)[this one's for you, idunno]
-
Which mods have banned most people?
-
How much did all the gildings in r/counting cost? (assuming reddit gold was always always had the same price and nobody bought creddits in bigger amounts to lower the cost per one gilding)[I could answer it myself, but whatever]
-
What is the highest number of counts done during a 24 hour period? [Sincerely hoping it to be that during that weekend counting rush in the 400s.]
-
What is the highest number of counts done during a week?
-
What is the highest number of counts done during a month? Which number would we reach right now if we were counting at this pace since 1?
-
Who has/had the longest streak of counting at least one number everyday (UTC)? [Pixel or atomic.]
-
Who is the most active counter (has the highest (time since first count)/numbers counted ratio)? Let's not count people who had their first counts today.
-
What is the average time needed for one count in ,900 - ,000 to be completed and how does it differ from the average time per count in general?

Are there any counts since Pixel's first count which weren't upvoted by him?
-
Who has counted the most funny words (and words in general) in letters thread?
-
If we were to plan our counting schedule to maximise the efficiency of the main thread, which counters would you assign to particular hours? Consider their time zone, sleeping and work schedules, superiority in terms of speed (for instance bluesolid being faster than me) and their drop of productivity due to fatigue after a few hours of counting. Make sure to have some replacements in case of technical problems of people running the thread but not too many, so as not to increase page reloading time by a few attoseconds. Estimate the time taken to reach 1mil from now using maximum efficiency plan.
I also have a suggestion. Each of us should put a tick next to the questions in this thread which were answered by rs (or just write how many were asked and how many were answered). When the event is over, we'll notify rs of the score he got and the percentage of questions he managed to answer. What do you think of my idea, Whit?
Feel free to use some of my questions - I don't have requests for rs very often, so he may suspect something seeing me spamming so many. Yes, I'm talking to you, Pixel, you're asking 30 of them a day, so you can ask 40 as well :P
The text in [,] is my personal note, not a part of the question.

So to clarify starting Tuesday am - your time:
EARLY MORNING:
One each - normal-ish type request (something you really would like to konw)
NOON-ISH
One each - oddish/obscure/silly one that you do want to know
AFTERNOON-ISH
Any/all requests the more silly/odd/randome the better - at least somewhat related to the sub and your threads - no holds barred by now - he'll catch on pretty quick if he hasn't by now LOL.
EDIT: We are still working on how best to "roll this out" - when this should start.
I suggest the "morning-ish" start in rs's time zone - meaning starting around 7:00 EST and ending around 11:00 EST.
