Just here for the activity... well not really

This game was inspired by https://www.logiquiz.com/
Rules
  • We are trying to build a chain of self-referential logical statements. The goal is to get as high as we can (420?)
  • Each post is of the following format:

    Quote
    N: <self-referential logical statement>

  • Posts must reference other posts in their logical statement, for example:

    Quote
    1: The next statement is false
    Quote
    2: The previous statement is false
    Quote
    3: Statement 1 and 2 are both true
    Quote
    4: Statement 3 is false
    Quote from me explaining
    3 is false, and 4 is true, because exactly one of 1 and 2 are true.
  • However, once there is a post that creates a logical paradox, the chain is broken, for example, any of the following
    Quote
    5: This statement is false
    Quote from me explaining
    This is the classic liar paradox and creates a paradox with itself, regardless of the previous statements. Unless...?
  • Unique ways of breaking the chain will grant the chain breaker poster 20 minerals. Breaking the chain in a way that's been broken already -- including the example above -- does not grant any rewards.

Additional Standard Chain Rules
  • Double posting is discouraged, but how the hell can I enforce it?
  • If we fail, we can start again from 1

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

3: There will not be much activity after 2

it's rather inconvenient actually, as it requires you to transfer it to Custom Score which might even interfere with what you're measuring. But IIRC you can also use EUDs to display it which by now could actually be somewhat convenient.

UndeadStar shouted: https://staredit.net/topic/18961/ <= wow, if there wasn't a capital letter on almost every word in the title, and a link in the signature, I may not have guesses it's an AI bot. I don't know much about map editing, but the content may even be relevant enough to be kept.
Yeah, I've noticed it, but it raised a couple of relevant questions and kept the ad to the signature so if someone were to engage with the topic it could be a net positive which is why I kept it. We're not necessarily anti-bot, just anti-spam. Thanks to Symmetry who realized my hope. :)
