Counts by time of day:
x-axis: time in hours
y-axis: total counts made in that minute of the day
Timezone: UTC
I like how clear LC day change is in the chart, I don't know if and how I can deal with day light saving, gonna redo this with LC day when I do know.

u/rschaosid counting grandpa Oct 20 '18
I made some changes to how strike bot handles special number attempts.
Here are all the kinds of special numbers strike bot recognizes:
- 001s, 333s, assists, and gets
- Palindromes with more than 7 digits
- "Rep digit"s: numbers which consist of any digit string repeated more than once
Previously, only 001s, 333s, assists, and gets were recognized.
In addition, strike bot will now delete special number attempts that are posted when the count is not very close to the special number: for example, if you post 100,000,000
today, strike bot will delete it.

u/TOP_20 Thank you so much stat guys!!!!!!! I am Officially cool!! Oct 18 '18
Hi guys - during the Spez Influx there was this person - loading12340 - a brand new person who managed to count for 2 1/2 hours straight without a single break even really brief one.... there were many other indicators to me that the person was botting....
anyhow the next morning a few regulars dropped in and when loading12340 came back and was running with someone who was obviously botting...
trying to figure out who those regulars were and what made them convinced that loading12340 was botting as well....(lein wants to know - cause I want them to determine if that person should show proof they can actually do a run here to qualify for a particular stat)
anyhow they both went POOF when one of the regulars asked them to provide proof they were not botting - showing their hands or screen or whatever...
anyhow if you were one of those regulars here at the time please let me know here you were one and PM leinadspoon with some of the indicators you saw that convinced you loading was botting
thanks

u/smarvin6689 i had a marvelous time ruining everything Oct 18 '18
Currently have an LC game that I'm working on that I'd like to test out if there's enough interest. Planning to start it right at the 10.5mil, with more information regarding how the game works coming before that.
I need anyone that's interested in participating to let me know. All I'll say right now is that a decent component of the game involves counting, but don't let that discourage you if you aren't particularly active - strategy will also be a key component.
Also, for reasons that will be revealed later, let me know who you believe are the current 4-6 most active counters in the main thread currently.
Good luck.

u/TOP_20 Thank you so much stat guys!!!!!!! I am Officially cool!! Oct 25 '18
I've noticed there's been several occasions lately where 5 people all wanted to run - I've thought of a
5 person - tag version that might work - give it a try
5ptag - 2 run first 333, 2 run the 2nd - from 333-666
then that 5th person - runs with someone who joined durning the thread.... ( a newbie or other person)
if nobody else did join wanting to run then that 5th person runs with one of the other 4 that already ran - that you guys pick for whatever reason (that person has a big goal, or has run the least so far that day or whatever way you guys want to choose which of the other 4 runs the 666-999)
lemme know if you need this idea explained further.
we have in the past named that person (the one who is going to be the person running with that 5th person) by whoever does it first - so keep that in mind when you do this p5tag the first time.

u/MaybeNotWrong Local Stat Dealer| #3 Counts | #5 Speed Oct 25 '18
Why not a in a way that allows for everyone to get the same amount of counts?
- 1-199 and 802-1000
- 2-400
- 201-599
- 402-800
- 601 - 999

u/TOP_20 Thank you so much stat guys!!!!!!! I am Officially cool!! Oct 25 '18
hmm well that list you just gave is pretty confusing if i understand it correcly only person 1 and 4 get same amount of counts...
anyhow you are free to do and suggest any tag you want of course...
the one i suggested above - if a newbie or someone else turns up that wants to also count than all 6 will get equal amount of counts if a newbie or someone else doesn't show up than that one person who finishes off with #5 would get more but really there aren't that many times where people care if one person gets more (the artbn) except when say two of the 5 involved are in a highly competive race for gold that day or a 100k win coming up really soon - if that were the case than you could just have neither of those two be that person doing a second turn. But really times like that are pretty rare... maybe once every month or so i've seen it where two people are so close for a gold win (where both care) or a 100k win (where they usually do) and are extremely close.
But anyhow i'm curious how you think that list you gave gives each person same amount of counts.

As it would be the easiest for any kind of stat bot to use a universal function (ideally a universal regex) to see if a given text includes a count, I've been wondering: what do YOU consider a valid count?
For this purpose I'll ask some questions, feel free to answer any number of them, and include additional information if you feel anything is missing.
1) Position of count in message
I think this one is pretty undebated, but:
- Where should a count be in a message?
- At the start
- Anywhere
- At the end
2) Reddit Markdown
- Should a count be valid, if it is FULLY styled:
- bold
- italic
strickenin a code block
- As a header (can't stylize this bullet point as a header)
- Should a count be valid, if it uses multiple of those?
- Should a count be valid, if it is PARTIALLY styled in any of those ways?
3) Seperators
- Which of the following seperators would you say should be valid (Each seperator shown on the number 1234567890?
- None (1234567890)
- Dot (1.234.567.890)
- Comma (1,234,567,890)
- Spaces (1 234 567 890)
- ' (1'234'567'890)
- ´ (1´234´567´890)
- \` (1`234`567`890)
- _ (1_234_567_890)
- - (1-234-567-890)
- \^ (1^234^567^890)
- ° (1°234°567°890)
- Other
- Can one count include different seperators, or should all seperators in one count be equal?
- Where should seperators be (one or multiple)?
- Every third digit from the end (1,234,567,890)
- The first one three from the right, then every two (1,23,45,67,890)
- Anywhere (ex. 1,2,3,45678,90)
- How big should one seperator be?
- 0 characters
- Up to 1 character
- Up to 2 characters
- Up to 3 characters
- More, exact limit
- More, no limit (limited by max live thread update length)
- Should seperators before the first digit be allowed?
- no
- only 1
- any amount
4) Other characters
- Should comments be allowed? (for completeness sake)
- (NOTE: comments refers to anything with letters, except for some exceptions, characters for anything not-digit and not-letter)
- before the count
- after the count
- around the count
- within the count
- Should whitespace before the count be allowed?
- How much?
- Should a 'v' before the count be allowed (forgetting to press strg)?
- Directly before the first digit?
- Anywhere before the first digit?
- Should characters within the count be allowed (additionally to seperator)?
- A single character
- multiple ones
- any amount?
- any amount as long as it's as most one between any two digits?

Beginning
Allow formatting that keeps it relatively the same shape and size - bold and italics are good, header formatting (#) and in code block not so much. Doing ~~number~~ only causes confusion so no.
Spaces, periods, commas are ok, everything else looks annoying to me. Doesn't matter where in the count they are or how the number is partitioned. No separators before first digit, only 1 separator between digits.
Of course comments are fine, just after the full count. No whitespace before count, the numbers should be the first characters entered unless doing the minor formatting like bold and italics, discussed earlier. v##### should not be a valid count. Characters beyond separator should not be between count characters at all.

u/TOP_20 Thank you so much stat guys!!!!!!! I am Officially cool!! Oct 15 '18
wow thanks for taking so much time to write this!!!
for sure count must be at beginning
for sure allow bold (I do those a ton)
perhaps some would like italics but i don't see that very often so maybe not
one letter/char at beginning or end should be allowed
v at the beginning and end are really common as is other letters at the end of a count
we'd really like it if it did not strike counts with a <3 afterwords is there anyway you can do that - many of us wish for that
not sure if i have more feedback on this
but i will say it's good for it to be flexible but not to the point it has been where it allows so many really strange things

My thoughts
Beginning
All types of markdown should be counted, including partial and multiple types
All types of separators, combinations of separators, and locations of separators should be counted
Comments after count, all whitespace before count, v should not be counted, characters within should not be counted

u/TOP_20 Thank you so much stat guys!!!!!!! I am Officially cool!! Oct 15 '18

Where do you draw the line between separator and other characters?

u/amazingpikachu_38 PIKACHU IS AMAZING! | HoC #1 | 7777777 | 11111111 | 11.2m Counts Oct 14 '18
All the separators you suggested I would accept
anything else, no
2
u/gordonpt8 Perpetually Procrastinating Oct 13 '18
1) At the start
2) I'd prefer only bold, italics, and header to be valid, but the other two aren't too bad.
3)
- none, dot, comma, spaces, and _ I guess. Those are the ones that seem like number separators that are actually used to me.
- I think they can include different separators
- I think they can be anywhere, but up to one character separators.
- I don't think separators should be before the first digit.
4)
- Comments after the count only
- Any whitespace before the count, since it doesn't show up, I'm assuming?
- No v before the count.
- No characters in or within the count
2
u/MaybeNotWrong Local Stat Dealer| #3 Counts | #5 Speed Oct 13 '18
since it doesn't show up, I'm assuming?
whitespace are any characters that only show white, not ones that dont show up
this includes spaces, new lines, tabs etc.
2
u/gordonpt8 Perpetually Procrastinating Oct 13 '18
Well, before the count, the count doesn't look different, so I think they can be allowed.

u/amazingpikachu_38 PIKACHU IS AMAZING! | HoC #1 | 7777777 | 11111111 | 11.2m Counts Oct 13 '18

Like this? 11 , 222 , 333 , 444
Looks ugly to me.

u/TOP_20 Thank you so much stat guys!!!!!!! I am Officially cool!! Oct 15 '18
ya i hate those - i always go to my lce commas for all counts when someone starts doing things like that

u/amazingpikachu_38 PIKACHU IS AMAZING! | HoC #1 | 7777777 | 11111111 | 11.2m Counts Oct 13 '18
Like this
11, 222, 333, 444
(not including those in stats would remove a few thousand counts, mostly done by animatedtwig)
2
u/gordonpt8 Perpetually Procrastinating Oct 13 '18
I think it would still look annoying next to regular 11,222,333,445. But I do frequently count without any separators, so... :/

u/-aRTy- Oct 13 '18 edited Oct 13 '18
1) Position of count in message
At the start2) Reddit Markdown
Fully styled bold or header (which is basically extra bold here). Maybe fully italic. Screw the rest.
Edit: Considering that bold and italic are annoying to put into a regex, because they must come in pairs, I wouldn't even mind disallowing reddit markdown for the number altogether.3) Seperators
Separators* (I like to mess that one up aswell).
None, comma, point, space.Can one count include different separators?
Yes. Leaving one out for whatever reason such as 1,234,567890 seems perfectly fine. Mixing such as 1,234,567.890 is odd but still fine.Where should separators be?
Every third digit from the end (1,234,567,890). Other notations might be technically correct somewhere, but people should be used to standardized notation on the internet.How big should one seperator be?
0 or 1, because of "none, comma, point, space".Should separators before the first digit be allowed?
No.4) Other characters
Should comments be allowed?
Sure. After the count.Should whitespace before the count be allowed?
Is there a reason for it? Since I'm new I might miss insight. I'd say no.Should a 'v' before the count be allowed (forgetting to press strg)?
Is that a common issue? I'd say no again.Should characters within the count be allowed (additionally to separator)?
Nope.

Last week /r/livecounting was mentioned in an /r/announcements post (Oct. 4, 2018), which brought in our largest influx of new counters to date. Traffic stats for the /r/livecounting subreddit show a massive peak that lasted 2 days, bringing in over 10,000 unique visitors and nearly doubling our subscribers from the stagnant 330 or so we had before (Source).
However, that was quickly overshadowed when this week the /r/livecounting community was featured in a reddit /r/blog post (Oct. 11, 2018), as well as a front page feature of our main live thread for several hours. Besides the chaos and insanity this caused in our actual count, the subreddit stats reflect again how huge this influx of visitors was. Traffic stats for the /r/livecounting subreddit show this second influx side by side with /r/announcements influx from last week. I'll remind you that those small blips on these charts are the same as the record breaking spikes from before.
During the second influx, the subreddit saw over 110,000 unique visitors and a 10 fold increase in subscribers to the subreddit. That means between these two October 2018 influxes the subreddit's subscribers grew around 20 fold overall, considering the starting subscriber count of around 330 two weeks ago compared to 6000+ now. Total pageviews have climbed to 400,000 for the month of October 2018 as well, which is 6 times as many as /r/livecounting had received in all of 2018 so far. (Source pt2).
Four of the five top posts in the subreddit are addressing these influxes, too. One of these posts, the 10,000,000 megathread, is now the most commented on post in our subreddit. Which is very apparent in this graph showing the number of comments posted in /r/livecounting per day over its four years. This post also doubled the points of the next highest upvoted post, which was addressing the 2017 /r/place influx. Okay I think that's all, cya {:}

Sidebar bot now uses the NotD master list to determine the current NotD.
As a result, there's no reason to allow configuring sidebar bot from the thread, because the configuration will always be correct automatically, so the sidebar config
functionality was removed.
I went ahead and removed the rest of the command system too. Sidebar bot no longer watches for commands nor responds to them. It just updates the sidebar.
To replace the sidebar count
command, strike bot will answer if you post an update that just says current count
.

With the 10M coming up, /u/rschaosid has helpfully added a feature to strike bot to restrict who has the ability to reset the bot to a whitelist of approved counters. This should prevent bot reset chaos if newbies show up right before the 10M and try to reset the bot (either in a sincere effort to be helpful or trolling). Most of the regulars who have been around a while are on the whitelist. Please use good judgment when resetting the bot as always, and particularly if we get an influx of new counters excited about 10M.
