    Framling that was a pretty great idea and I went through every spoiler.

    What the hell and that was awesome.

    I am unsure if it was innovated or not.

    I mean that really means he is the first to think of it.

    I mean I have thought about being really annoying with spoilers before.

    Being annoying to the viewers in a forum battle?

    Yes I suppose that is

    Fram, is there a pattern in the viable paths, or is brute forcing the only way to find them?

    I used to have nested spoilers in my sig

    I had to remove it because the image in the final spoiler was too big :(

    Spoiler:

    it's less annoying and more super awesome

    unless someone in a forum battle has used spoilers to create the experience of traversing an ever-shifting cave system while implementing an almost dionaea house like story, yeah pretty innovative

    though I will say the ending was a bit lackluster what with the mspaint or whatever image

    If Volyu had submitted anything at all, I'd have voted for it out of pure irritation.

    fram i appreciate what you were trying to do and the effort involved in making it, especially when i got close enough to see the end, found hope and then had to suffer even more

    but the only reason youre not losing this round is because of the no-show i mean christ

    thats a poopy attitude for a forum battle bro

    I don't, actually

    generally when I encounter a nested spoiler I get bored of it and don't bother

    I didn't even know there was text in it until people started talking about it and until Fiz abbreviated it for us

    I figured I'd do it to see if there was actually any heightened appreciation of it, and you know, the whole sense of being stuck in a endless fucking maze was pretty spot on.

    Even so, would not do again. Ever.

    Fucking hell Framling. Clicked on about 10 spoiler tags and then just quoted. How the hell did you do that without losing your mind? Nested tags inside nested tags inside nested tags...

    Your entry was cool though.

    What does your maze specification look like?

  • FramlingFramling Registered User regular
    edited May 2010
    Basically, I specify character limit (25000, in this case), and endline size (2).

    I can optionally also specify "goal text," which is then inserted at some random point. When I originally came up with the idea and wrote the app, I was expecting to have just the one picture somewhere in the maze.

    I had the diary idea later, and just manually interspersed entries roughly evenly throughout.

    you're = you are
    your = belonging to you

    their = belonging to them
    there = not here
    they're = they are
  • DarricDarric Registered User regular

    Oh, right, so the app itself generates the maze, and not just the text. Neat.

    That was either the greatest thing ever, or the worst thing ever.

    My shattered mind is still trying to decide, but in the meantime, I'm going with the WTF option.

    I approve, though I have to admit that I spent a little too long trying to find any possible significance in the relative depths of each set of spoilers.

    Also, the story was really good
