So I've been looking around on Google and other places, and I can't seem to find anything quite like what i'm looking for, so i thought, "Hmmm, sen is pretty dang good at solving problems, ask them :) "

I'm trying to find an online writing community, where basically they give you an essay topic for the day/week, and you write the essay and submit. Does anyone know of / think they can find a place like what i described. Like I've said, I've looked around, but can't seem to find it. :( Hopefully a place like this exists, because I would really like to get involved.

Thanks.
(ps, i think this topic goes here since its literature related, if not please place accordingly)

I don't know of any such community. Perhaps you'd like to organize something similar at SEN? There are a few people with writing skills around here.

I'm a logical-mathmatical thinker, and I would enjoy it :) I want to improve my writing skills. I just wanted to concur with JaFF.

What kind of essays though? You would need someone to come up with intelligent prompts, have some material to read and write about, you would need someone who is very good at writing too. I am fortunate enough to have had an english teacher who was simply amazing, and it wasn't until I had her that I realized that stuff I thought was good, really wasn't. I think a lot of people have the same problem I had. I only mention this because hopefully you would want the caliber of your contest or forum to be high, unless it's just an informal thing I guess.

That's what i'm talking about, I want intelligent prompts, that excite the mind ya know? I couldn't really organize it because I'm not very good at writing, but I want to do this to improve. Anyway, if someone else on sen(who is qualified) wants to run the show and do like a weekly essay, I'll participate :)

Symmetry -- I dreamed about that as a kid. The idea of a computer capable of analyzing a starcraft map and calculating the fastest possible way to hit the victory condition

Symmetry -- But can AI beat my custom maps?

Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM
[08:48 am]
NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation
[08:47 am]
NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.

Vrael -- perhaps there is a small professional player trapped in a box in the server rack where pluto is running? hmm?

Vrael -- 240*12*2 is 5760, where is the other 240 APM?
