Can i say anything here??

i’m going to because i dont want to make a whole post about this bc ifs not that interesting 

anyway im rereading stormlight (actually listening to audiobooks this time) and bc im also writing an oc canon compliant fanfiction, i am picking up on really weird little details as it pertains to my writing 

so in WoK both kaladin and dalinar specifically refer to grapes in their narration and thoughts (Dalidoo even threatens to smash Elhokar like a grape) — implying they know what a grape is but in RoW Adolin refers to grapes as a strange little fruit the Shin use to make wine and does not name it 

that’s all 

bow wow meow

What will even happen at the 100k mark?

Everyone canonically dies.

Not actually dies, just canonically. So in any canon setting, you either have to be revived, or are a zombie.

Some quick maths:
This thread began on 04/10/2020. 
That was 1,539 days ago. 
I am post 2280
2.28% of the way there. 
This means we're currently averaging about 0.0015% progress per day. 
At our current average pace, we have approximately 65961 days left until we get to post 100000
Divided by 365.25, that's approximately 180.6 years. 

Clearly we need to speed up posts if we are ever going to have an overall victor.
Here's my proposal: We set up intermediate winners. 
Next winner at 3,000 posts
Then at 5000,
Then at 10,000, and every 10,000 after that. 

---2280--

---2521---
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
