    I really feel that we should not be celebrating round numbers for the random thread of random randomness.

    Because a round number is not random enough?

    It is a specific kind of random though.

    No, because obviously this number isn't randomly chosen, it's a common milestone to celebrate. Clearly you should've rolled a large number of dice to determine which number of posts you would celebrate ahead of time. This could of course be a 100K, but in that case it would've been randomly established instead of post-hoc deciding that this specific milestone is worth celebrating.

    There are of course other ways to determine when to celebrate, but it should be done randomly not because it's a common milestone.

    Your post takes the theme, gives a very sensible take on what the system hould be and lays it out logically.

    Thus it violates the premise of the randomity

    I'll celebrate when I reach 2052 posts. That's the year one of my all time favorite video games, Deus Ex, takes place.

    Indeed... and by that same token, perhaps I followed this procedure....

    You should've shown your workings though, or at least establish it beforehand (and yes, so should I before you point that out :p)

    That was precisely what I was going to do!

    So we're in the same boat.

    Congratulations, @Lizards of Renown with your rise in fame ;)

    Let's dig up some threads by @Warden to counter these current affairs.

    Grrr, Imrahil

    The real trick will be moving past @Aginor in terms of post count. You boys have a pretty steep hill to climb!
