#PotatoFoolsDay v3 - Science rhymes with Compliance. Do you know what doesn't? Potatoes

everybody get pumped
Can someone please explain to me why we're focusing on one game at a time? If Portal 2 releases when the big bar hits 100%, and the big bar only hits 100% when all the little bars complete, shouldn't we be spreading the CPUs more evenly? If we continue to just knock the easiest games out first, then the normal, non-ARG players of those games won't actually be contributing.

You can tell people are already trying to evenly spread out their efforts, the major focus is on AAAA, but Rush and Cogs are close together, with Toki Tori right behind.

When each smaller bar completes, there's a boost, so no.

You guys are so fucking picky:

Because every game we complete takes away time.

Only a couple of those games have non-ARG players anyway.
Too bad I'm on vacation and won't be able to play until a week from now :saddowns:

It doesn't need all the little bars to complete, since we have the potato multiplier. If we focus one one or two games at the same time, and at the same time work for more potatoes in each of the games, we'll be able to get much more done.

Actually, I bet the majority of people playing have no clue about the ARG.
Aaaa CPUs dropped from 4033 to 3980 :|
Now 4026
Alright I need to head off to an appointment now that should only take 20-30 minutes tops. in the event that this thread locks before I get back head over [url=http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1079070-Help-release-Portal-2-Early.]here[/url] until I can make the new thread.
Also I am still looking for a title banner for the next thread:

It just fills the little bar faster. We still have to finish all the bars.
broken

In the case of Killing Floor, that's true. But I'm sure the majority of people playing AAAAA or Cogs right now do have an idea about it.
I have a feeling that Valve predicted the player numbers quite wrong.
We need more players!

EDIT: shit, wrong title, uploading fix...
I joined nelipot but ain't got no potato.

And I'd say most of the people playing SMB, Amnesia, Audiosurf, and DG don't know about it either. And they make up the majority.

[QUOTE=Psycho_Shadow;29222220]Invite everyone(on your friends list) to the NELIPOT group, it's the easiest potato there is.[/QUOTE]
But there was a requirement for that one, wasn't it?
You have to have one of the potato games, was it?
After AAAA, RUSH and Bit.Trip Beat will be at the point where they'll take no time at all! :D
FUCK, i got the final boss spoiled. i'm fucking done with this shit
