ugh, i don't know how i missed that. i imagine they don't reverse either? seems odd to me that every single submission would be wrong..


thanks. that's the whole thing, i totally get if i did *some* wrong, but the whole batch seems kinda crazy..


yeah, it's the whole mass reject thing that i'm lost on.

thanks guys!!! now to compose this note.. :)
oh! i did forget to post their feedback which is odd to me as well. if anyone has any thoughts/advice/input on how to best phrase this note to them i'd be forever indebted. really didn't need 48 rejections today :(

Oh...it seems like they are approving based on majority rules, which means that they can reject if your answers don't match the rest of the groups. Did you actually click on the link for more info/context? Seems like you did them all pretty fast.

i didn't realize how fast i did them but i did click on the links because the headlines were deceiving.. just find it surprising that i got every single one incorrect when i know for a fact thinking back on them that some of them were no doubt 100% correct

Antique store pick ups this morning.



rsclone @rsclone GTR @GTR JDWFM @JDWFM


One booth had The Wall for $15 and the vinyl was in great shape but the cover looked to have semen stains so I passed.
Probably going to regret it. I could have used the DNA evidence to find the original owner and that would have been a fun mystery.

mboone73 @mboone73
nice find and pick up
should have still gotten The Wall, the semen may have belonged to David Gilmour, there's a rumor that while at the factory where the albums where being made, he would sometimes get overly excited while 'young lust' would be playing

So you can rest easy knowing that the money they saved on your rejections will go to support causes for The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Thank you for your donation.

I sent them a note but don't have high hopes. i can't stress about it, at least it didn't drop me below 99%

Hello fellow coaches,

I will be requiring more diversity in your strategies and instructions going forward. I would like to see even distribution of usage across all the units. That means, I don’t want you to always use the same units in every game (for example the workshop/dragon combination). Try to use other strategies that require different units. Some examples: second town hall, tower ruhs, etc. Use your imagination. I will be increasing strengths of AI you are playing against, so it should be more challenging. Also, the game will be extended to 25 minutes.

In addition, I want you to use more diverse instructions. Your instructions should be actionable and ideally have some location references (if appropriate).
Examples of some bad commands: “attack”, “scout”, “mine all peasants”, etc.
Examples of good commands: “use archers to attack enemy dragons”, “send peasants to mine to the north east resource”, “send an idle peasant to the south west to scout”.

Here is the list of top 10 most common instructions so far:

attack
send all peasants to mine
build a workshop
send peasants to mine
all peasants mine
build a stable
send idle peasant to mine
attack enemy
build workshop
retreat
build a dragon
build a guard tower

I think you all can do better!

Also, I noticed some pattern of cheating. For example, some coaches would always use rush strategies to finish the game fast. I think the compensation for this HIT is fair, so please don’t cheat, or you will be disqualified.

As this HIT is very popular, I have a large pool of workers, so I can be selective if needed. I have tools that automatically detect all of these violations, so if you don’t follow these requirements, I will have to disqualify you from this HIT. Thus, I encourage you to do your best work and don’t cheat.

If you have any questions, please email me.

Thank you very much, I hope to see you all playing our game.


Another one bites the dust.
