Default JOIN THE CAUSE!!!

So everybody is on a mission to get Solitare to the number one spot on the most played games list on xfire, as seen here: http://www.xfire.com/xf/index.php

Its already pretty far up, but we need YOU (pointing finger) to help. Its very simple. Just start up xfire and then solitare and let it sit there while you are doing whatever it is that you do. If you want to play a game, close solitare, start the game, and then start solitare again so it will keep counting the minutes.

You realize its not even close, right?


TODAY'S top games alone:

Counter-Strike Source 3,574,459
World of Warcraft 3,276,473
Call of Duty 2 Multiplayer 1,913,657
Counter-Strike 1.6 1,503,756
Battlefield 2 1,353,103
Solitaire 1,053,856

And that is just Source. Throw in 1.6 (which is above also) and CS is over 5 million minutes vs 1 million minutes.

That is 66,667 hours of difference (4,000,000 / 60). Aka 2778 days different, and its only 2:30pm (although I don't know where the difference is between 1 day or another. I'll assume EST). So in 14.5 hours there is a difference of 2778 days of play. 191.6 more days of CS are played EACH HOUR than solitare.

Yea... good luck with catching up. Numbers are more reasonable if you only deal with source, but its still massive... 119.7 days.

So basically you'd need 2880 EXTRA people having solitare run over and above the people pumping it to 1 million now. And those 2880 would need to having it going 24/7.

Also, why on earth would anyone CARE about having solitare #1?

Being a mod made you a killjoy. Not that you were any good to begin with. :shrug:

And just so you know, this was started today and its already over the 2 mil mark.

I don't think Moderatorship ever had anything to do with it, dude. I have to agree with him, the numbers are just way too big.

Killjoy or not, he's right. I certainly don't care how well a virtual game of cards stacks up against decent games enough to let it munch on my RAM, anyway.

No, he's not being a killjoy, he's being reasonable. I would of pointed that out if he didn't, not to mention if he didn't, someone else would of before me, too.

It's your ordinary overly addicting MMORPG where people will spend 8+ hours a day playing it. Yeah, nothing new.

Just kidding, it's by Blizzard, so it's awsome.

Don't even compare WoW to MS. MS is so much insuperior.

I looked at Rose, all it looks like is a 3D version of MS.

No, WoW is like Everquest, Guild Wars, cept it takes place in Azeroth, making it x100 cooler. Ya see, unlike Maplestory, those games have economies. Well, I think Everquest does, at least.

Ya I was going to say how can it function properly without an economy?


Edit* I meant to say I thought so because it wouldn't work any other way.
