don't think that's something they tell the public

 

 

I think I remember a SU he posted that hinted at it, but all I got is speculation.

What’s the speculation?

Not really sure if I have the right to speculate. Out of respect for him, I will avoid muddying the waters.

He was a kind fellow

hmmm... I do think panda told me once upon a time, but that would've been quite a while ago. I don't know if we're necessarily forbidden to speculate at all.

Old member, I mostly remember him for his incredibly long and detailed posts on The Longest Thread that did a lot of lore stuff. Didn’t really know him outside that.

@Aeoryi I just want to avoid it because it feels rude to remember him by speculation of why he was banned instead of the good things.

I was around when he was not banned. I have things to remember him by. We collaborated in TLT to bring perhaps one of the most epic arcs into play with a lot of my favorite characters. 

But at the same time, we also talked to each other a bit in private about the sort of politics on the shard too, and he talked about how he was kinda on thin ice with the mods because of how often he would tread the line. I think he said he was at 3 points at that point in time, and he didn't have the ability to change his username (row spoilers)

Spoiler

He wanted it to be "Thaidakar, Lord of scars" but it was RoW spoiler period and obviously that's a big spoiler and so the mods kept on changing it back, eventually he just lost the ability to change his username at all lol

Talk about dedication to the bit. 

Also, who was panda? I don’t really remember anyone by that name, but TLT is not the best for social interaction, unlike TLPL.

Hi! @Xiahida reporting for duty!

Smiling panda? Doesn’t ring a bell, I’d have to look at my old posts but I may not have interacted with them a lot.

Many of them are, I would say, but not all.

Forum games, I suppose I probably have posts in the social groups and creator corner and a lot of miscellaneous threads and such 

I occasionally reply to discussion board topics as well.

 I am not going to say anything, but don’t assume it’s anyone. That might ruin it.

I have a few friends who know about this place, none of them know about Sand Mastery however.

Ok, Yall, I did the math in this other post on The 100,000th post wins

Oh boy. 
Let's do the math again.
4/10/2020 was 2,259 days ago. 
This is post 2521. 
We are now 2.521% of the way there. 
Progress has dropped to an average of 0.00112% progress per day. This is down from 0.0015% approximately 2 years ago.
That means it'll take approximately 89607 days to reach 100,000. 
2259 days have passed, so we're looking at about 87348 days until we can reach 100,000 posts. 
A gregorian calendar year including all leap years, skipped leap years, skipped skipped leapyears, ets, is 365.2425 days. 
This means we should finish in approximately 239.15 years. 

Of course this is assuming we maintain the same average. Since the average has gone down 0.0004% over the last two years, I believe this suggests that our progress is actually on an exponential decay path, meaning we will continue approaching, but never mathematically reaching 0 progress. The only question is, will Sanderson still be enough of a presence 200 years from now that the website will still be operational? My guess is no. 

The only way to fix this is if we change our posting habits on this page. Otherwise we'll never have a winner. 
ORRR change the rules. 
My proposal is we celebrate the 100,000th post on The Last Post Wins.

That page began on November 4, 2018, and has 78,493 posts. 
Which was 2782 days ago. 
Meaning it averages 0.0282% progress per day. This will only take us about 3544 days to reach 100,000 posts at that pace. Again 2782 of those days have passed. Means there's only 762 days left. My prediction is that the 100,000th comment will occur on or around July 18, 2028(Of course since I'm no data scientist, I'd give a buffer of like 60 to 100 days each way). That's a reasonable accomplishment. 

Or if we don't change the rules, we need to start posting with a similar frequency to the last post wins. THen we can be done by the end of the decade or early 2030s. 

Anyway, this is just a long-winded way of saying 

---2521---

And suggested that we just make the 100,000th post over here count as the winner for that post too, otherwise the website will likely cease to be operational before that post has a winner. 

Who supports this idea? 

Also I win for the next few minutes.
