Wait, a new Necro game has started? I was planning to post to the original long after everyone had forgotten it, but it seems like I left it so long that people have forgotten about this one too.

I wasn't planning to post here again (I thought it'd be funny to just come in, win, and leave again). But this thread has been idle for a dangerously long time and I'm worried someone might have set a timer to snipe my record. So, sadly, I have little choice but to bump the thread.

Gah, the worst (best?) thing about this game is that you have to keep bumping the thread in order to prevent someone sniping your win. (It's not like the OP is even being updated nowadays.)

Ugh, this wouldn't happen if the OP was actually updated.

I guess we'll have to leave it a bit longer the next time.

OK, what about
this
time?

(I didn't even set an alarm for this, this is purely based on memory.)

No it isn't, it's 26 days, 7 hours, 26 minutes, 23 seconds (and thus beaten). I recommend converting your timestamps into a timezone that doesn't adjust for daylight saving time.

Hey, I just remembered that this thread existed. I think this should be a win?

Did you know that it's a little easier to work out when to set your alarm if the most recent post was a winning post?

A losing post, after a little under 10 days, will make the game that little bit more difficult.

I would probably have won earlier if I'd used timers. But doing that seems to defeat the point of the game somewhat.

(Also worth noting is that the longer you leave it before you claim a win, the easier it is to defend your win in the future.)

You need to leave it well over a month to win at the moment.

The thread seems to get randomly bumped more often than that, meaning that my current victory will likely be secure for a while.

To win, you need to revive the thread after it has been inactive for longer than it has ever been inactive before.

For example, at one point in the past, the longest the thread had gone between posts was around one week; back then, you could have won by posting over one week after the most recent post.

The current record is considerably longer than a month. So winning is very difficult at this point, because if anyone posts too early, it resets the timer for how soon it's possible to win.

And a month is, coincidentally, about how long I haven't been on the site.

Resetting the timer so that I don't have to worry about this for another month or so.

So, I just remembered that this thread existed again, and checked how long I'd need to wait.

Turns out it's another 6 days or so, but unfortunately, I'm likely to be V/LA at the time at which the thread would need to be bumped.

The solution, of course, is for me to bump the thread again in the hope that the next necrosnipe time is less inconvenient.

(For anyone trying to do the date calculations themselves: the current winning interval is >4017402 seconds since the previous post. You're welcome.)

Amazingly, I didn't use a timer for this. But I think it's a (very narrow) win anyway?

I think it was, by about 3 seconds. (I was aiming for 1 second but it seems that the site's clock is a little fast; if it had been slow by the same margin, it wouldn't have been a win.)

Assuming I calculated correctly (but I'm not confident that I did), I was asleep when the winning time passed.

So I'm surprised that it hasn't been bumped yet. Bump!
