I like to pull heists.

75% on wiki seems to be cleaned up now too

42%/90%

This thing going to explode?

I like to pull heists.

43% / 90%

Why did it just change to Wiki step 1?

Should we just mash buttons as a group and see if the Progress number goes up?

53/100

I guess that's good?

I like to pull heists.

do whatever you want but it was decided in the IRC that mashing keys probably isn't what is increasing the percentage.

I'm assuming it's actually when people sign up and create accounts. Maybe.

I like to pull heists.

Um, Wiki changed to Fora and points to this thread... it's 23%

I like to pull heists.

Could it be the total progress of all the steps in the first step? It now says Fora: 23%.

i wonder if they want us to have something important for it to go up.

Alright now it has changed to fora percent. Post Away!

Now it reads Fora 23%

i think I've never been so frusterated with a heist yet. the other ones I would give up cause i got far and just wanted my loot. the fact i have no idea where to start is driving me BONKERS!

wow thats the wiki all right

MaxJG: it was weird

as mentioned above, the wiki stage appears to be done, and now it seems we need to post on this thread to increase the "fora" percentage (23% as i post this)

I am now guessing Fora has something to do with either the number of comments in this thread, the number of users commenting, the number of words/letters, or some other volume relating to this thread?

I think you're right.

I guess it can't hurt. Maybe it helps for me to post.

Could step1 progress refer to the % of those responding to the email and registering at skunkworks?

Let's keep this to a real conversation gentlemen.

Yes sir, understood.

Ok, it has still been unclear as to what the "10,000 monkeys" is in reference to

too late for me to carry on a real conversation - job and all, y'know. We'll see what things look like in the am.

Anything is possible, very few things actually happen.

I've been pulling down the entire list of codes (my directions on how to do so are over at the wiki) but so far there's no repeats.  I'm guessing they're just randomly generating them to play with our minds.

Purple team for president!

"They say that ten thousand monkeys typing on ten thousand typewriters would eventually write the complete works of William Shakespeare."

OK, serious conversation:

Is the fora% related to thread posts, or thread posters?

1: 55%
Fora: 42%

What exactly is raising this percentage?

Many thanks in advance!

http://www.macheist.com/bundle/u/3247/

so maybe the codes somehow correspond to words?
Or they are shakespeare references?

10,000 monkeys typing create all of shakespeares plays

they want us to type.

Lets keep the spam out and keep the talk about 10K Monkeys.  Any thoughts?  I am really at a loss here, I spent the past 30 minutes focusing on that.  I want to to say what a waste of time but I do love these heists

Realistically it's ether database math, or just plain clicking a button.

10,000 monkeys refers to the silly idea that if you give 10,000 monkeys a keyboard and enough time they could write a play worthy of Shakespeare.

correct, i know that.....so i assume we are the monkeys typing away in hopes to complete something?.

% seems to deal with page numbers, but the head fellas want real convo, no spam, for spams sake.....mmmm spam

it is pages because as the posts are deleted and the page numbers go down so does the percentage.

Anyone have any ideas about the image?  There are 2 different size files being downloaded - one if you control-click -> Save Image to desktop and another if you drag to your desktop.  When you do the first, the image reports as 1000x1000 - if you do the second, it reports as 20597x19868...

The Princess Bride: A great movie, an even better book. 

Anybody want a peanut?

Fora % just dropped to 30, and a couple pages from this thread disappeared.  What's going on?  Are admins cleaning up off-topic posts, or is this some strange "keep ahead of the disappearing thread" game part of the puzzle?

Edit:  Nevermind, I skipped to the last page and didn't see that this had already been brought up.

Well, we're going in the wrong direction.

The 10,000 monkeys: monkeys=us
maybe we need to type out shakespeare?

Many thanks in advance!

Yeah, I think the 10000 monkeys thing might be a red herring. I think we're the monkeys

We are definitely the monkeys. I am one tired monkey.

I'm guessing they're small tasks they want performed, but they don't want them completed through the use of spam

I do want to emphasize that what you guys are doing is pushing the progress along, so keep it up. (On the other hand, those who have work/school early in the morning... get some rest, and let the rest of us plug away. )

I think if we continue on this course of getting the numbers up, we will get there without the shakespeare.

So.. are they looking for 10,000 users or 10,000 posts or 10,000 words?

All right, you proved your point. You broke into my vault. Congratulations, you're a dead man.

I know this is in the wiki, but http://skunkworks.macheist.com/inside_ajax? returns a lot of codes to try, and the javascript on the main page submits the key you press to the http://skunkworks.macheist.com/inside_ajax?submit=[key], I wonder if the % is related to how many keys have been entered in to try?

rich, my understanding is that only happens in firefox....i have yet to duplicate that in safari....might mean everything, might just be the way firefox reads it, as such, meaning nothing :-(
