3rd Place in the Ping.sg April Fool’s game
By arzhou | April 4, 2008
The official PING.SG blog post on the results! The game was called “Whose Ping is it anyway” no prizes for guessing which show Uzyn watched.
Yup I got 3rd for the ping.sg April Fool’s game. It was a crazy game. For most of the day I was out of the top 10 as I was rushing from class to class and doing project, so I could only squeeze in 10-15 mins of play time each hour. So the early part of the day was dominated by Nicole, Mintea etc etc *cough* some ppl no need to work….*cough*
At night however it was a different ball game, the REAL gamers took over (ironic does not count cos he was at it the entire day)
At 2am, it was only 2 people going strong, me and Sheylara who is really the Queen of MMORPGs. Both of us were kept strong by our MMORPG background. For me this really reminded me of the good old days grinding to attain exhalted reputation with whatever faction in World of Warcraft, be it the Thorium brotherhood or hydroxian waterlords or orgrimmar. But I guess I was not strong enough, at 4am, I just concussed. I guess Sheylara was strong enough as she managed to achieve over 3000 points! She is really the Queen of MMORPGs, playing them for even longer then me, I remembered she was in the first generation of KA members (Clan from DAOC), I was 3rd and 4th gen member. /bow
Somehow as I was playing the game, I was reminded of this book, “BLINK” by Malcom Gadwell. Bascially it talks about making snap judgments, and this game is about snap judgements, you have 10 seconds to guess a blogger, immediately your instincts take over, sometimes i can guess its a post by nicole or daphne or hendri by the style, Keropokman is really obvious, Chillycraps is another. Its just the cumulative memory i have of reading all their blogs.
Well 3rd is not so bad, AT LEAST i have the highest accuracy percentage for anyone in the top 10! That means I never randomly guess at least most of the time!
