BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Nice try, Rodlen.

The checksums don’t match up.  It’s unfortunate, but that makes the rule he set-up, not the secret rule, per the ruleset. Rather than attempt to figure out what rule would produce the checksum given, it seems simpler to just remove the rule.

Honestly, I don’t know why they don’t match, but you can see that the md5 checksum for the original version matches.  All I did was change the date, but I don’t know why the second one doesn’t match.  I even tried a few simple mistakes and couldn’t figure it out.

I admit that I made a mistake somewhere, but the original version checks out.

He’s tricking you. The rule he’s giving is the original secret rule, before the switch from December 25th and December 18th.

It doesn’t matter what the intent is Yoda.  You know that more than anyone else.  What matters is what the rules say.

Try the other one. Switch yo 25 to an 18. The checksum is still wrong.

This rule is a perfect example of why secret rules are a bad idea.  If there are two different possible interpretations of a secret rule, it causes serious problems later.

Sorry, Typo Darth (I’m the poster shhh).  The checksum still doesn’t match-up.  It doesn’t work, the secret rule that is attempting to be enforced is NOT in the rules, and shouldn’t be enforced.

I didn’t say this.

I would have referred to the rule for the 19th.

Bucky, what are you voting against the removal of the rule?  You obviously agree it’s a bad idea AND according to the way it’s written, the rule we’re looking at was never part of the rules-set.

Scrivener’s error.

In favor of rodlen’s, non-typo post.
