The 2019 365 Day Language Challenge - SCORING

[lavengro]

...
I am not a gamer myself, but if there is not already a computer game like this, there really should be one!

True enough...fighting your way back to the living through several levels of hell...sounds a bit too much like fun. I've edited my post to include something far more diabolical.

"I'd be forced to start the next game heavily in debt to the Grim Reaper and wait it out over several weeks filling in tax forms in Hades just to get back to the starting point again!"

Brilliant, and definitely diabolical!

Just imagine a computer game based on this principle? After a few attempts, I'd be forced to start the next game heavily in debt to the Grim Reaper, and need to work my way through several levels of Hades just to get back to the starting point again!

Penn and Teller made it already. It is called Desert Bus.

hummm.... I disapproved a new usrs post this morning because they just copied another post without seemingly adding anything of value. So I appologise to whoever that was, and I think you all should probably find a better method of scoring.

Oh, don't mind me. I'm just a dog standing in the rain alone, cold, hungry, abandoned. If you kick me, it doesn't really matter!

And yes, the way we're keeping score is... something, but if all goes well we'll still live, hopefully. Anyway, here's the updated list:

I’ll try to clean up the first post of this thread when i get a chance.

I’m on holiday now and so the forum is not a priority. Heaps of time then? When holidaying with 2 small energetic children, navigating a different place, keeping an eye on two kids, keeping them entertained.... i’ll say no more.

We did discuss other methods of calculating the scoring and i’m not the person for that job.

Scoring was also discussed and in the short time before the challenge commenced and i went with the best method i could in consultation with the few others who provided feedback at the time. Next year, it’ll be all open for discussion if someone (could be me, could be someone else) wants to create the challenge again with revised rules and scoring.

(the scoring can totally work, I've seen it on other forums and tried it in the consistency thread on HTLAL. may I suggest clicking quote and removing the tags instead of copying?)

Oh, I like the scoring. Even on the days I missed, I still attempted because of the penalty. But then I fell asleep. So it's working for me.

Speaking of which, I should start studying soon or...
