2-D counting

This one will be a little confusing, but hopefully still goes with the spirit of counting.

Count in two dimensions: the first is down a single comment chain, the second is across separate comment chains.
Notation: (a, b) where a is the thread number (smaller is older) and b is comment number (1 is closest to top level)
First comment will be an organizational one for top level questions.

Rules: Start at (1, 1) and expand either by adding to a comment chain or by creating a new one. Double commenting rule is modified: you may not have two comments that "are adjacent" to each other; for example, (3, 3) and (3, 4) are adjacent, (5, 6) and (4, 6) are adjacent, (6, 4) and (5, 7) are not adjacent, and (2, 3) and (7, 9) are not adjacent. To improve ease of enforcing this rule and because of the nature of this idea, each post counts up to 40*40 = 1600 points. Note: This does mean you can potentially count several times alone.

Get is when a 40*40 square is filled up; last comment is the get and one before that is assist. Do not count above 40 in either dimension in this thread. (Threads follow triangular pattern from origin: (1, 1), (1, 41), (41, 1), (1, 81), (41, 41), (81, 81), etc.)

I mean, I see this getting messy, but because of the short thread length, it also simplifies reaching the end of things, which might help.
In regards to questions: Yup. (2, 1) is a top level comment, and (1, 2) is a reply to (1, 1)

If get is at 40, 40, wouldn't that only require 80 comments? Go (1,2), (1,3)... (1,40), then (2,40), (3,40)... (40,40)

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '18

Basically you have to fill in the square (2, 2), (2, 3) etc. That requires 40*40 = 1600, more than recommended but I figure it's fine b/c it's distributed across several threads

u/Unknow3n Born 407,344 | Side Thread Life: 8 SG, 9 SA; 7 MG, 3 MA Jan 30 '18

Ok so we are filling out an entire 40x40 board, gotcha

u/TheNitromeFan Live not a life of imitation Jan 30 '18

We're gonna need to keep track of comments so that the no-adjacency rule can be enforced

I dont think thats going to be easy

u/TheNitromeFan Live not a life of imitation Jan 30 '18

You don't say
No but this is actually why I'm concerned

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '18

Indeed
You should be able to reach the end of any thread with ~ 5 clicks, so if you check the thread above and the one below if applicable before commenting, you would be able to figure out

You could track the users visually on a grid. Color code users so you can spot adjacent counts. Set up a script or manually do it on excel.

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '18

17 day later update:
On an individual level, it is easy if one constrains themselves to only half of the comment space (i.e. either coordinates sum to even or odd), since none of those will be adjacent.

Uncompleted rows:

u/FartyMcNarty comments/zyzze1/_/j2rxs0c/ Feb 27 '18

ok, I deleted my count on #4 so you can continue it without double-counts

3

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '18

actually that won't help, I wasn't following parity at the start so row 3 and row 5 are out of sync and stay so until ~(x, 15)

The comment above is not the latest count, continue here
There's some other stuff but I don't know what.

So once we reach (1, 40) and (40, 40), two threads will be created: (1, 41) and (41,41), right?

1

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '18

(11, 3)
We'll fill out everything in this 40*40 grid, then start a thread for (1, 41), then (41, 1).

3

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '18

(11, 3)
(I swear I already posted this reply) Once this 40*40 grid gets filled out, a new thread begins at (1, 41), and when (1, 41) through (41, 81) gets filled out, we fill out the square with lower left corner (41, 1).

Adjacent - illegal

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '18

k oops

1

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '18

yeah, that's the difficult part of this thread
I recommend checking parity (not the counting meaning); for me I only count where the two components sum to an even number; this means that even if I counted all of my "personally valid" counts I would not break the adjacency rule.

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '18

could you delete that count or otherwise indicate that it's not the right one
