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

[QUOTE=brandonsh;29203056]==THEORY TIME== Fill up the smaller red ones entirely in order to speed up the main one.[/QUOTE] We'll find out when TWEOTW is done.

WEotW's bar is going pretty damn fast. Should be done in the next few hours.

Don't care if I'm late, I just wanted to post a picture of it. [img]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/542891561936351955/AC20FBCA65FBE4B4CF990477FCBA5D783F67937E/[/img]

half an hour to get from 11-12. This is perfect.

I really need to go to sleep now, but i know that when i wake up, there will be 600 new posts. Dilemma.

[QUOTE=Zombii;29203087]We'll find out when TWEOTW is done.[/QUOTE] If it's true, it couldn't hurt to have planned ahead. I think Kick It should be the next game to focus on if filling up the smaller ones does work. With only 1/2 the players of that middle group, it's keeping up quite well.

Use this website to see percentages of the games. [url]http://dev-zilla.net/[/url] [editline]15th April 2011[/editline] The Wonderful End Of The World: 84%

12.15%

TWEOTW is blazing to the front lines, and the puzzle games of the package are right behind it.

[QUOTE=Chaotic Lord;29203231]12.15%[/QUOTE] And that was done in 8 and a half hours.

[QUOTE=lol user;29203153]OUR POTATO /c[/QUOTE] :saddowns:

[QUOTE=jibjibman;29203013]Once again, does anyone else notice its just going up by the default time. The cores aren't helping at all. It started at 94 hours and its right where it should be it seems. All of this ARG to release 20 hours earlier? Give me a break, all the ARG people worked really hard and for just this? And some cosmetic items? Sigh.[/QUOTE] But that's not what the potatoes are for, they don't decrease the timer. Timer reaches 0, when we reach the time valve told us portal 2 was going to be released. The potatoes help with the cores to fill the bars, if we get 100 bars before timer reaches 0 it will get released earlier.

[QUOTE=tehMuffinMan;29203302]GOOD NEWS EVERYONE YOU CAN NOW TYPE IN ALL CAPS THANKS COMPWIZZAY[/QUOTE] YES. THIS IS A VERY GOOD THING. CAPS ARE GOOD.

[QUOTE=Chaotic Lord;29203100]How ling it will take GLaDOS to boot (Portal 2 Release) without our help.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.aperturescience.com/glados@home/[/url] The timer is when portal2 comes out without our help, it reaches 0 the 19th.

So those bars go up when you quit and it updates your play time, right? I can easily see KF shooting up once the amount of players decreases.

Just purchased the Potato pack. No more need to beg for games. Now, lemme play those frickin games and get lods of potatoes for GLaDOS. Is better you work early, you fat robot bitch!

EDIT: Gave them all out. I have two Killing Floor guest passes that I will give to whoever doesn't have a potato game, but wants to get at least 3 potatoes. All you have to do is promise me that you will play the game to help the rebooting process go fast. PM me with your email or steam login ID.

I find it sad that we can only get 22,000 people out of the 2-3 million on to help with this.

[QUOTE=Plattack;29203317]So those bars go up when you quit and it updates your play time, right? I can easily see KF shooting up once the amount of players decreases.[/QUOTE] No it increases while you play.

I just preordered Portal 2!

[QUOTE=Tuskin;29203333]No it increases while you play.[/QUOTE] Oh damn it. In that case KF is going to take years to fill up.

[QUOTE=oO0Virus0Oo;29203313][url]http://www.aperturescience.com/glados@home/[/url] The timer is when portal2 comes out without our help, it reaches 0 the 19th.[/QUOTE] It'd help if they renamed it "Scheduled Launch" instead of "Projected Launch". Projected makes me feel like it's going off of the results of our playing when it's not.

I did some quick calculations and only 1% of people on steam right now are playing Potato Pack games right now. Earlier today it would have been more like ~0.3% when there were 2.8 million on.

We have word on how the progress bars work from Dougley! :buddy: [quote] The individual game progress bars are based on sales made. The more times a certain game has been bought, the more you have to play it to finish its bar. For example, 1 2 3 KICK IT! was released at (nearly) the same time as the pack, so it has the fewest sales making it the easiest to complete out of the whole pack. Killing Floor and Audiosurf were out for longer and as such have had way more sales, so they require a ton of more hours to complete. According to Dougley, Potatoes still matter and are of importance (but don't neglect playing the games). Get them. The Store might be keeping a record of how many times a certain game has been bought, so we need to go find that and order which games we should play based off of that. [/quote]So according to that logic, people buying the whole sack hurt our progress. Ouch, valve. Ouch. :smith:

snip Seems like I was wrong, just look at above post.
