warts you think we should get rid of all the impossible to beat records or put new rules on them to make them beatable?

Can I work for you? The possible longest time I won't be on is like 3 days. I'm on almost everyday.

@Tango, that'd be nice

@Ice, thanks Ice, but we're good for now. Wink

Also, I'm going to start taking matters into my own hands with the actual record book, stay tuned to the thread to get the latest scoop guys. Smile

Diagonal vertical line?

And I don't really think you should be participating in the record breaking, Warts.

Why not? He should be allowed to participate in record breaking. As long as he has proof he did it and didn't accept it himself and instead got the people who work for him to accept/deny it.

I'm sorting the records for the following: beatable and non-beatable.

Obviously, you want the non-beatable ones out (or do something else with them. Maybe classify them as "classical" or something else).

Beatable:

Most Walls Owned
Lava Lounge Lord
Tic Tac Toe Master
Connect 4 Master
Truth or Dare Master
King/Queen of Drinking/Eating Objects
None-Official Comic Master(Most Comics Made)
Most Friendly
Most Televisions
Most Claps in 1 minute
Most credits
Longest continuous laugh

Non-beatable:

Longest Vertical Line
Biggest BTC Line
Most Fake Bartender
The King of Hamsters
Most non-fashionable
Largest BTC Clump
Longest diagonal line
Most Comic Readers

Now i'm going to break down the "beatable" section some more. They are either "qualitative" (subjected by one's thoughts or opinions) or "quantitative" (based on quantity or numbers).

"Quantitative" records are better, since its easier to determine if a record is broken. We probably want to stay away from the "qualitative" records as they are based on opinions, not facts.

Also, attached are my thoughts and ideas about them.

Quantitative:

Most Walls Owned - Not really a record that someone is going to try to beat. What do you need with 43 walls? You wouldn't need 43 walls for your house (if you can fit them all).

King/Queen of Drinking/Eating Objects - These records are "fun to try" but the higher and higher the record gets, the more of a "money waster" it would be and then more people would be turned off by it.

None-Official Comic Master(Most Comics Made) - This could be a problem. In other topics, it was concluded that "quality" is better then "quantity." Would people produce a lot of crappy comics just to beat the record? Would it promote the "wrong idea?"

Most Televisions - Maybe you need to redefine the record. There are 3 different types of televisions with different costs so one record wouldn't apply to the other two. Maybe redefine the record a bit?
Besides, i didn't really like "owning more of the same object" then anyone else.

Most Claps in 1 minute - This is one record that i like, since it doesn't require any money to beat. However, it can get pretty noisy and people may report them for "spamming" so it should only be tried in someone's house.

Most credits - The current record is a fluke. Jeffrey modified his profile to make it look like he had that high of a score. If that's true, then how easy is it for anyone to modify it? How would we then prove that users had that much?

Longest continuous laugh - Maybe redefine the record a bit.

Qualitative:

Lava Lounge Lord, Truth or Dare Master,Tic Tac Toe Master, and Connect 4 Master fall into the same category. How is this measured? Lava Lounge Lord is based on what? Are the C4, TTT, or T or D, based on fact or opinion? How would you verify the amount of wins/loses?

Most Friendly - This is also a subjective record. How are you basing this decision? Are you polling the record holder's friends? Are you basing it on the amount of friends he/she have? What are the requirements to attempt this record?

I might have more thoughts about it later on, but for now, this is what i have to present.

King of hamsters is a BEATABLE record. You could have more than can fit in your house.
