How Extra Are You?

  • Hey y'all, I got this idea while ranting about something on the "Say What's on your Mind Topic" that happened on NS. Gerrick encouraged me to start a board for it, so here goes.

    Basically, you can post about things that you've done that went above and beyond the necessary means for achieving relatively meaningless tasks/goals. After all, that's what being extra is. I'm looking forward to seeing these responses, some of you should have some pretty funny stories.  :P

    I'm going to copy-paste part of my "rant" from that board as an example/starting post or whatever. :D

    "I did one of the most extra things I've done in a while today. I clicked on the wrong button for an NS Issue decision, and it jacked up my plans for refining the government for at least a few days. So, I wrote a dispatch. I wrote a page-long article for a fake newspaper in the voice of a fake reporter (named after Hank Williams the country singer) detailing the events that transpired to cause the president to sign the wrong piece of legislation. She happened to be heavily under the influence of alcohol and/or THC when she stumbled into the executive office and signed a bill banning maternity leave. There's also an embedded photo of the president, an eye-witness, and protesters.

    This is probably nowhere close to how into-it some people get with NS meta, but it's further than I've ever gone for the sake of something like this. All for a misclick."

    Reminds me of when New Hyperion was doing its "Penguin vs. Cookies" RP and @Colberius X answered an issue that tanked his nation's stats. He ended up writing a series of posts telling the story of a coup in his nation and the resulting chaos.

    JFC that's a lot. It looks like the issue absolutely murdered his nation's stats to write that much for it.

    I wrote this script to parse werewolf posts in order to count up how many votes people have made.. when they made them, etc.. it then tries to analyze different posting patterns to try to identify werewolves.. I mean, totally didn't work because it turned out my best Wintreath friend was a werewolf and I told her everything .. :p But, I'd say it was extra.

    It actually performs HTTP requests.. pulls out posts, tries to determine if the post contains a vote..

  • I wrote this script to find the best possible move in an odd minesweeper pattern I came across on reddit:

    Spoiler
    import random
    import itertools

    minefield = [1,1,1,0,0]
    for subset in itertools.combinations(minefield, len(minefield)):
        print(subset)

    exit()

    difficulties  = [(16*30,99),(16*16,40),(9*9,10)]
    pattern_size = 25
    size_checks = [1,4]
    mines_per_pattern = []

    for d in difficulties:
        distribution = float(d[1])/float(d[0])
        mines_per_pattern += distribution * pattern_size
        print( mines_per_pattern[-1] )



    fields = [[0,0,0,0,0,
               0,0,0,0,0,
               0,0,1,0,0,
               0,0,0,0,0,
               0,0,0,0,0],
              [0,1,0,0,0,
               0,0,0,0,1,
               0,0,0,0,0,
               1,0,0,0,0,
               0,0,0,1,0],
              [0,0,0,1,0,
               1,0,0,0,0,
               0,0,0,0,0,
               0,0,0,0,1,
               0,1,0,0,0]]



    def check_random_field(num_mines, field_size):
        field =
    • * field_size

        while num_mines > 0:
            l = random.randint(0,field_size - 1)
            if not field[l]:
                field[l] = 1
                num_mines -= 1

        return int(field in fields)

    results = {1:0,4:0}

    for result in results.keys():
        for i in range(0,10000000):
            results[result] += check_random_field(result, 25)

    print(results)

    I wrote this script to parse werewolf posts in order to count up how many votes people have made.. when they made them, etc.. it then tries to analyze different posting patterns to try to identify werewolves.. I mean, totally didn't work because it turned out my best Wintreath friend was a werewolf and I told her everything .. :p But, I'd say it was extra.

    It actually performs HTTP requests.. pulls out posts, tries to determine if the post contains a vote..

  • I waited six years to make an alt account on a writing site I frequent on March 14, 2015 at precisely nine hours, twenty-six minutes, and fifty-four seconds GMT.

    3/14/15 9:26:54

    The first ten (rounded) digits of pi.

    The account was named Pie, of course.

    And I did all this because I'd accidentally signed up on Pi Day six years before.

    I am so proud of myself.
