  • I don't remember which sides even wins at 100, but I don't believe that this is the day that this ends.

  • Oh, didn't notice if others preferred to take a side and stick with it, haven't been counting everyone else's posts. Mostly just felt bad after the first post for taking a side and wanted to go back to having no long term influence on the score at a net +0 with no intention of posting again a third time.

    Seems rather boring if that was intended to be a rule though. No option to switch to a winning side as an opportunist, or switch to the underdog side if they had fewer people and you wanted to enforce fairness? Or maybe in the middle someone just actually has a change in taste and decides the one they like more isn't what they originally thought? I'd want to see who would do that rather than just having the predictability of already knowing whether it'll be +1 or -1 just by seeing who posted last, less thrill that way if you're forced to post the same way every time. Best you could do if you wanted the other food to win with this rule is stop posting, and that doesn't seem fair. Most forum games I've seen like this one don't enforce anything like that, seems like an arbitrary rule. Only rule should be no posting twice in a row, as that can be abused, and because it's not fun to watch someone post 50 times in a row.

    Wasn't going to post again but that just seemed so strange that I had to analyze what it would mean to have a rule like that.

  • it's not a food thing, it's a joking religious war, because for some reason that i'm tangentially aware of but could never really understand 'potatoe' (with the e for some reason i'm equally aware of but fail to understand) constitutes a joke religion led by @Crushita as Potatoe Pope (and which I'm technically an arch-heretic in I guess since I have jokingly insisted I am a Potatoe Paladin but have sided with the tomatoe here), against which, for some reason i'm totally unaware of but guess is because of the similarity of spelling, tomatoes are heretical

    I think the Tomatoes first stirred in HannahB's Choose Your Own Workplace Adventure, though it may have happened earlier. I know the e thing was explained to me once, but the memory escapes me right now.

    Basically, tomatoes and potatoes be Serious Business in Wintreath. =P

    Oh right, Campbell's Tomato Soup. Didn't even make the connection, just thought that Mathy made up a suitable enemy to the Potatoeists.
