New CAPTCHA now required before posting

[Silberman]

i got 9 legit but im not on the list

If I were to guess I think what happened is that even if you collected 9 coins you failed to complete the task at hand, so if your goal was to collect 10 coins and you only collected 9 then those coins will not show on your records, something similar should have taken place for the ones which completed the task but then forgot to post once the captcha was solved, but it does not make any difference, you know you got those 9 coins and that is what matters.

Here are the "high scores", though keep in mind that there were cheaters. karmamiu performed the best on every metric, and it doesn't look to me like he cheated.

Nice stats, looks like we have some very talented people here, like karmamiu.
And our @Hhampuz also did very well, congrats. 

Maybe such a high number of collected coins are just from many failed attempts, it's also possible. Or are only coins from successful completions counted in your statistics?
Glad to be able to post normally again and without getting labelled as a spammer.

My goodness, I felt like crying when I couldn't post and was refer to as a Spammer I couldn't believe that April fool would make me feel the way I felt yesterday, I'm really new in this Forum wow.
I thought have lost my account when I couldn't get 16 coins. Was moody throughout yesterday, I couldn't talk to no one, ignored incoming calls. Mehn, @theymos you're one hell of a prank star...😂 Much love...

Oh makes sense lol

Would be very glad if there is a list on who are the least spammers and the most spammers in the forum after the prank day.
In anyway, i always solved it, so i won't expect to be there 

Edit: Oh, i gotcha, it's already there. Well, at least im included in top 50 top score – least spammer. Lol.

Calling it a captcha would be wrong because it's just like a video game. Before I used to play this game with my mother's phone when I didn't have a smartphone.
 
Due to previous experience I am able to fulfill some tasks.  But later on when the amount of task increased, I failed to play till the end even though I tried a lot. 
First I was suggested to collect nine coins I succeeded there then again I was asked to collect 15 points then I succeeded in few attempts and my last success was to collect 20 coins.  But then I was asked to collect a large amount of coins where I failed every time with many attempts. 

Later, when I saw the calendar for April 1st, I thought maybe it was just April Fools.

April fools!

Thanks to PowerGlove for creating this cool game. I was really impressed that he was able to create it from scratch in less than a month with no dependencies and in only about 21kB. Thanks also to the mods who helped test it.

Here are the "high scores", though keep in mind that there were cheaters. karmamiu performed the best on every metric, and it doesn't look to me like he cheated.

Thanks for another fun April fools event theymos! I didn't play much today, guess I was annoyed enough when I test it.
Congrats to karmamiu and all other participants. It's always fun to join these type of events. Looking forward to the next one.

Thank you for the recognition, sir and also to you Mr. administrator @theymos, I really enjoyed the game, though I know there are people who are very annoyed with this game. I could finally claim that I beat the system  . Well played to everyone who played along with this prank congrats to us who participated. 


Ps. Now I have sMerits that I can use to help our Local board in terms of merit cycle. Thanks to this generous people @theymos, @Cyrus, and @EFS.

What an effort to have this entry for this year.
Kinda curious about solving the captcha but it looks like a never ending game and this will never be solve. AI seems growing at a wrong side with this one, lucky to those who have their AI working for them already, at least they can counter attack the AI of this forum. Does anyone here selling their AI services?  Cheesy

I am not on any of the lists either, and I was feeling like it looks like I was not cooperating at all.

I had a few posts that I made in the last 24 hours in which I did not enter the captcha, but there were probably more than 5 times in which I tried to collect coins, and I probably collected around 40 coins or maybe even more, yet I never did actually ever meet the goal of finishing the captcha (like whatever the quantity of coins I was supposed to collect always seemed to be unreachable), and maybe the most that I got in any one effort was around 12 coins.. but most of the time, I would just get one or two coins.. and kept trying several times, and one time I was able to keep it going for nearly a minute.. or however long it had taken to get 12 coins.. maybe 25 seconds would be more realistic...

Anyhow... I kind of cooperated with trying to solve the captcha.. but apparently not enough time trying (or success) to get my name on any of the lists of those who cooperated.. since I did not ever completely collect all of the coins that I had been assigned to collect..

 Ahhhh, thanks to the forum gods for this mercy of clearing us from the flag of shame !

If you mean the way they beat the game? No, they didn't use AI on beating such robots. Personally, I only beat those AI manually, while some are using cheats like what mr theymos said on his latest reply, those who are on the list didn't have to do that in order to surpass 99 coins. After surpassing 99, it will just notify that you are good to go to post, the ticker stops and on the next post you are still required to do 99 laps. That means it is only up until 99 laps and nothing more.

I was well aware of that April Fool's Day was coming up, so I made sure to mentally prepare myself for any pranks by theymos. Unfortunately, my schedule was quite busy on the actual day, so I didn't have much time to engage. However, having experienced such things previous years, I was ready to handle.

I have to say, I was impressed with the idea, as it seems like a great way to combat spam and ensure that only real users are able to post. When I saw the message "This user is a suspected spammer!", I have to admit it did make me feel a bit anxious at first. Thankfully, I was able to quickly figure out what was going on and my nerves settled down.

Hey! Where is the burd? I want my burd back! 

[vapourminer]

I never did actually ever meet the goal of finishing the captcha (like whatever the quantity of coins I was supposed to collect always seemed to be unreachable), and maybe the most that I got in any one effort was around 12 coins.. but most of the time, I would just get one or two coins.. and kept trying several times, and one time I was able to keep it going for nearly a minute.. or however long it had taken to get 12 coins.. maybe 25 seconds would be more realistic...

i think i got 2 coins (out of like 40+ needed) once.

i did find that if you mad crazy clicked the mouse button for like a minute straight to get the bird way way off the top of the screen.. when i stopped clicking it seemed to take a loooong time for the bird to come down and when it finally did it came down like an missile it was going so fast lmao

[Cricktor]

I totally fell into the April Fool's trap. Seems like I visited the forum for the first time on April 1st. Didn't even consider there could be an ongoing April 1st prank. I'm too old for such bird games. I thought, really? WTF!?

It took me multiple tries to solve the captcha for just two coins, lol, more coins for me: never to happen. After some digging and reading and the morning coffee doing its magic, I accepted the banner of shame.

I can understand that the people that actually tried to solve the captcha are disappointed to not be on the list, but in a way it makes sense, if we think of it as a captcha then if we fail we are forced to solve another one, and if we think of it as a video game then it does not matter how many points we accumulate if we lose before reaching a save point.

I did in fact tried this a few times thinking that maybe there was some secret route which may allow us to get some extra coins, an Easter egg or something similar, after all you never know what kind of curve ball theymos will throw at us when it comes April fools.

Is there any chance you can provide a link for those who wish to access the game the rest of the year for entertainment and possible competitive purposes ?

It would be a shame if this novelty would be just available during this thin period of time. There must be people who probably did not even have the chance to notice/try this lil game we got.

Of course, just a humble request. In case you did not have something in mind for it already.

[pixie85]

This was April fools? I thought that was for real! All that effort on my part not to be a spammer and no reward, just a stupid list!



Joking, great prank, the forum does not disappoint.

Some masochistic tendencies?

It could be!

But I think it is rather because I have got Flappy Bird on my phone and I like pushing my high score as high as possible. It can be a bit frustrating in the case of the forum's version, since it has more inertia and the trajectory of the bird is very different from the original one, wider.

I wonder what could happen to the forum if this game was easily available for all of us, considering the creator of flappy bird had to pull his game off the Play Store because received emails from players saying they were addicted to it and ended up breaking their phones.


Further suggestion: airdrop 1 satoshi to people according to the number of coins they manage to collect in the game.
