the truth hurts


excellent graph.



QuoteLike many setups here, it is useful if your opponent doesn't move and you get 4 Ts in a row.

holy crap! someone actually made a graph!? this thing is bigger than i expected!
well, I'm going to calculate my records at the end of the month, then we'll find out how accurate that graph is!

(where did you find that? can you post a link,plz)!

Yay, Ford, you can get to the 30's in no time! I knew I was right to have faith in you!

Looks like a certain Link292 beat Blink's record by 2 seconds.  Only 1-2 tries, too.  I guess Ford needs to take him out too.

...

Anybody want to make bets on the new record's legitimacy?

I think it isn't legit, because that Link person "improved" too much
To detect cheaters, TTC should check that person's previous best time, and see if it's not a dramatic change, like removing a whole minute out of a 1:30 time or 15 seconds off a 40-second game
Removing 20 seconds off a 2:00 game is okay, but the same amount of time on a 50 second game couldn't be legit
Going little by little when under a minute is the way to go

Alright people, its the end of the month so lets crunch some numbers!!!

53.6(ME) - 37.24(BLINK) = 16.38 seconds to cut overall = 1.37 a month

November: 53.6 - 50.28 = 3.32 seconds = 13.06 seconds to go!


The Data looks promising so far, but since I need at least another month to figure out if this is gonna get exponentially hard to the point where its not possible, I'm left with that feeling that this is all just one incredibly futile charade  
Until the next record, I hope everyone had a fun-filled fist day of advent!

You're doing an amazing job. I'm pulling those results at around 1:10, although I should be improving much faster.

Keep on it!

Hmmm...my brand of humor failed to amuse anyone.  

Nobody wants to make bets on the dark horse.  

...

Anyway, let's hope exponential decay never sets in. Looks like it's time to break 50.

Jillvalentine

ford!!!!  hope your breaking records im right behind you buddy  

jb you still killed it LOL

Can I change my vote... I think you can do it... I've gone down 7 seconds this month down to 54'84... oh wait the month ended Monday... so thats 5 seconds.

YOU CAN DO IT FORD!!!! My personal experience proves anyone can do it!
