[QUOTE=HazzaHardie;29194809]Are the bars on the games the total played on it, or the amount playing on it at that time?[/QUOTE]
How many are playing at the moment.

So how many people will we need to simultaneously play the wonderful end of the world to fill the bar?

I have no clue.
So it just hit 2pm EST, high-schoolers should be getting out soon.
We need more POWER! FIRE AUXILIARY THRUSTERS.
Im still idling on the stage select screen for wonderful end of the world, so i guess i can leave this on all day i suppose.
We have 3 full bars (we started with 1 complete already)
Guys we need to spread the word that people need to leave one game on at a time and that potato's aren't important!!
4th bar!!!!
(just)
I just bought wonderful end of the world and waiting for it to download :saddowns:

Just pointing out, this is almost definitely incorrect. The bars only fill up, and fill faster the more 'cpu' is dedicated to it. See: [url]http://www.thinkwithportals.com/blog.php?id=5307&p=1[/url] 'The more CPU power dedicated to the process, the faster it will finish.'
The bars can't go down, only up. The number of current cpus only increases the speed that the bars increase.
The amount of potatoes on a profile may also mean the CPU power for the user is more.

They can play the games, it still counts.

The Killing Floor numbers dropped a bit when the new patch released.
More potatoes --> Faster energy regen. MOAR POTATOZ.
I just read that we have to be actively playing the game, not idle.

It's a shame they didn't put in team fortress 2 in the sack, it would be too easy. :v:

Yes, the number of current CPUs dropped, but the bar remained the same or increased. Less current CPUS mean the bars fill slower, but they still fill.
The potato counting as a multiplier is still just a rumour though.

Actually I've opened two tabs and left one tab on it's own and refreshed the other. Some CPU current numbers have dropped therefore meaning it is the current amount. We need to collaborate together and get people to run one game and leave it on that.
So we had 1 bar at the start and now we have 3 full bars. That's 2 bars in two hours and 10 minutes. It will be longer than the tuesday timer. Sucks.

People also reported that significant number of people are collecting potatoes to help the process. Seems its working.

Never underestimate a weekend of needy Portal 2 fans who will do anything for the game.
Guess I'll go play some TWEOTW here in a minute then.

Plus, Valve wants to release the game early, so if they see we aren't going to make it, they'll make it easier (such as how they dropped more ARG hints to make sure we solved it in time).
So I was playing audiosurf, filled the whole bars with one color, audiosurt crashed, I got an achievement. All in this order.

That would explain why Killing Floor has gone almost no where with roughly 4,000 people
