this is actually a cute front for a CMU IR/machine learning evaluation (grounding terms->images.) Of course don't let that stop you.

Its quite interesting, but god is it frustrating when they put you with a moron.

'There are 35 people playing' - how many are Mefites? I think you'll find that it's spelt moran, biffa ; p

I'm a Philistine, so I mostly enjoyed picking out a meatheaded username. The actual game is half boring, half frustrating.

Pardon the ignorance, but could someone translate, "CMU IR/machine learning evaluation (grounding terms->images.)" Grazi.

A bit more info in an FPP that leads immediately to a regsitration form that itself contains no info would be welcome. Life is short.

Strangley addictive. Word on the morons though...

The irony of calling other people morons in a mis-spelled post ~sigh~

It's just like the old game show "password" in a way : >

create screen name: create password: confirm password: If you don't have time for that, how come you have time to complain?

And if its got 'game' in the FPP and you're clicking on it, it's hardly indicative of someone racing against time.

The contrary of this "moron problem" you talk about is very disturbing - sometimes you find a partner so synchronized with you that you get actually sad when the game ends and you realize you will never know who that person was.

yes, nykad... three games in a row with what i guess was the same person - all right each time... (some time ago, btw - haven't been doing this *all* day, exactly).

If you don't have time for that, how come you have time to complain? That's called community participation for the common good, nthdegx.

The game is learning too. Some pictures that didn't have taboo words earlier have them now. It's a Carnegie Mellon site too- probably some weird experiment. Not that I've been playing it all day or anything (Must. Work. On. Thesis.... MustMustMustMust)

Okay, that was creepy. A picture of my address and phone number popped up as a picture. It's not totally crazy as I did put that picture up on the internet a while back for something, but it's still rather eerie that it was chosen from gazillions of pictures. I feel sorry for my partner as I completely froze in that moment.

I got a picture with a Welsh word (diwylliant/culture) on it. That's a bit creepy too, given that Welsh is my language of choice. Me and my buddy were doing well until that point, too. Who are these people?

I'm thinking there might be some IP-targeted images. In addition to my address/phone number, I got a lot of pictures with Minnesota-centric (where I live) text.

So much for my afternoon. How many of the "players curently online" are mefites, I wonder?

By: sharpener

um, yeah, two ARRRRs in currently...

Why must I continue to do this? Why do I want to get to the next rank? And why does it take so bloody long to re-load?
