#PotatoFoolsDay v3 - Science rhymes with Compliance. Do you know what doesn't? Potatoes
5,001 replies, posted
Wait, how do you collect potatoes in Amnesia (it's the only game I have from the pack)? Can you find them in some places or something?
The bar on the website went up a bit
Right. 6 remaining potatoes, amnesia, here I come!
(runs out of the door screaming after 5 minutes)
So, how many potatoes do we have to have?
Because I'm going to help.
The "cpu count" is the same as how many people are playing the game on [url]www.steampowered.com/stats[/url]
But it only updates once a couple of minutes.
[QUOTE=GreenDolphin;29192507]It's more common than you think. There are hundreds and hundreds of people who have all 40 potatoes, and a few thousand more with 5+ or so potatoes.[/QUOTE]

can i just keep super meat boy open and be lazy, or have i got to get a potato
So all we gotta do is play a game? Not solving anything?
Do we have to just Log into the game, or do we have to get the potatoes?
Mine didn't fall to 78k :psyduck:
And yes I refreshed.

For if anyone needs some spuds.
My guess is they want everyone to coordinate and all play one specific game at the same time to power it up. Notice how the Killing Floor CPU bar is at 2,632, which is about the same amount of people playing Killing Floor right now.
[QUOTE=gazzy_GUI;29192550]We just need 100 thousand people to earn one potato each, maybe one or two, but this is possible.[/QUOTE]
Then we need 100,000 people to join that steam group.
I'm getting it for PS3 so I can have a PC copy too, so I guess I'm not playing early. :/
I do have 2 potatoes though and I'll try for more.
I just assumed it would help if I had all the games I own open at once.
Somehow I doubt that works.

I remember the newer Amnesia potato being you have to beat the Justine DLC 100 percent.
[QUOTE=kukiric;29192554]Don't worry about the potatoes, you only need to be ingame for it to count.[/QUOTE]
How do you know?
[QUOTE=CommanderPT;29192599]So all we gotta do is play a game? Not solving anything?[/QUOTE]
Just leave the game open while you do other things.
Unless there is something I am missing, wouldn't it take about as long as just waiting for Tuesday for enough people to "generate enough extra CPUs"? Seems more like its going for "yeah, you gotta wait for Tuesday, but here are some games you can buy 'till then to tide you over".
Guys I think the potato part is done. People just need to be in game playing the games and their cpu count will speed up the release date.
The least everyone can/should do is join that one steam group that gives you a free potato. That alone could help speed shit up.
Just play a game, don't try for potatoes. We have to have a certain amount of people playing the games to speed it up.

You need to have all 9 notes, save the 3 guys and touch the gravestone and the angel statue at the end.

Just be lazy
also which steam group?
TWEOTW seems like the most likely one to get to the end of the bar, everyone who has it, LAUNCH
