What does it mean ‘Live integration’?
The blocks almost disappear briefly during the animated patterns.

real-time? The page is animated. Perhaps it changes as we make changes…

Looks like I was reading your mind, made it before I saw this 
Anyone else mentally exhausted? Can we have the next week off now @the_architect ? We have NMS10 events to prep for 
not to mention swarm countermeasures to do

Hey y’all! As the Jan 5th and Jan 7th threads might indicate, the memory editing process seems to be very poorly understood due to the haphazard nature of today’s submissions. I’ve started tracking our submissions to these in the Memory Tracker Sheet, but its clear that we have very little data, and many people attempting the same / similar ideas without much planning. in light of this, I think itd be best to tell people not to spam entries or articles the next time an unverified page goes live, just so we can narrow down what’s going on and test out the waters and check off any theories we have.
Some useful things to know would be:
- What the hell are the stars for? Do they increase an entry’s chances to anchor? If so, what’s stopping everyone from spamming 5 star entries? Why have lower star entries at all?
- Is the system really expecting dated articles? Does it expect links at all?
- Is data convergence the main factor for anchoring a bloc? Could we, for example, anchor a bloc entirely about porwiggles by having different community members submit coherent, similar entries about porwiggles?
- What exactly causes the compliance percentage to go down? Is it having non-conforming pieces of data on the page together?
We could definitely come up with a set of test submissions to figure these out if / when we get another unverified set of blocs to run tests on together
A potentially high-value test would probably be something not immediately tied to NMS pre/post release coverage, have no articles, and all be rated the same star rating (1? 3?). If the copypasta is anchored (and since its the only thing being sent in, probably shoots up to 100%), then we can answer a lot of the questions above.
A potential submission Idea I saw floated around (and one I personally adored!) was a copypasta about the Chronicles of NED, with a 2 star rating. This would work wonders for some of the criteria above.
I’d love if other members could give their thoughts on this and help organize a submission, as well as inform participating communities of the plan! If any leaders think that this would be better off as a seperate topic, please shift this over too!

I love this systematic approach to reverse engineering the verification criteria. I can add a section to the NED shenanigans with a few variations of copypasta we can all use.

Seems like a solid way to test it. I’m on board for the next one.

And this is why they call us the Citizen Scientist Division. I’m on board. Do we think maybe Ned keeps porwiggles as pets? Or is that more of a dad/main fam thing?

So I suggest with the next one, whoever starts the new thread, copy/paste whatever we are testing and place it in the top post with a reminder to copy/paste and submit it.

Might it also make sense to split into teams of varying sizes to test various phrases and if the number of operators is important?
Although, if we truly have 363 more blocs to verify I suppose we have plenty of time to organize and test that down the road.

I’m glad people find the idea useful haha!
I think that’s a fair point, maybe have 2-3 different “sets” of information we submit with different amounts of Operators rallying behind each? I think that’s definitely doable!
I can spin up a new thread for planning the next unverified bloc, which we can update to be used as a puzzle thread for the next unverified bloc whenever it goes up, so that we can jump from planning → action immediately.

Very curious if the Architect/SYSTEM will be responding to our input as fast during the week or if it will be slower paced when it’s not the weekend.

It will also be interesting to see if there are many lurkers that are participating, but not communicating with the group as much.

Moved this into a seperate thread here, could any leaders move relevant replies and turn the thread into a wiki post if possible? Thanks a bunch!!

Was catching up and thought the exact same.
Can then link to each of the memory editing topics in a list as well, considering those are being made separate topics. That way it could function as an index, while at the same time discussing a ‘how to’ for these ‘memory edits as operators’.

2017_dataset – project-skyscraper is now unverified. Calling all operators to the memory planning thread!
Now followed up by 2016_dataset – project-skyscraper, 2016_dataset – project-skyscraper and 2016_dataset – project-skyscraper

I submitted some mem timestamps for apr 8th yesterday, and I doubt I was the first. Are we executing the copy pasta plan for this set? I am on board!

Sheet’s all up and ready for Operator submissions for copypastas for 4 possible options at the moment. Take your pick and add what you’d like!

I can only see one option on the sheet
The one for D4N and GR3G. Am I at the right sheet?
