Tree has code scattered about the forums and others have posted open work here before too.

It can't be too difficult to try and scrap something together. Cause I can't see anyone winning via guessing l0l.

A lot of it I deleted from my github recently since I'm reworking it and a lot wasn't ever up to my standards.

@Use, I already said I'll extend it if nobody guesses in time or makes a bot for it.

I wasn't trying to sound like a bitch or anything, just a little paranoid is all. I'm learning python, but it's not as easy as I thought. I don't know how to put the strings of coding together is the problem. I read tutorials, and it's just garbled mess kinda like most of my ranting posts. I posted that this morning when I was "under the influence" sorry if it sounded like bitching, I was merely trying to sort some stuff out with my paranoid mind. Although I am not good at python, I'll take my chances with trying to script before monday, and I'll be posting guesses. Has anyone come close to actually getting the answer right "within 50" if so how many?

so if you did guess the right number, but at the EXACT same second someone gave you the auto poster you were wishing for with anti-captcha no ban and what-not, whuld be the winner. (in theory) I'd personally guess the programmer mainly because it took effort, but I've spent at least 30 minutes going through your posts, and all that to find ANY number that was in between 1-1000 that could be backwards "letter" numbers like abc=123 or bee=255. I'm guessing 666 mainly because it's 3 numbers and its sequenced. How would your system be proven positive or negative. AND if someone guessed the right number (unlikely because I haven't heard you say that someone else knows the number and has proven it...) then someone still gave you the auto-poster, would you reward the auto poster before or would you ignore their program. assuming you're already going to say that you have the number written down, I'd like to say that this seems posh in the idea that 1-1000 could definitely be guessed before Monday if 10 posting every 10 minutes gives you a few more minutes to go along with what you're doing, and still have the right number guessed, then those 10 people could split the profit equally, and this is of course all in theory. What's the probablility that someone would guess the right number within the allotted time? then again you've already said it yourself

Quote:



Option 2 seems easier
With things like these I always get paranoid and think what if I guessed the number and they said its wrong because they dont want me to win?


That's the point, option 2 is easier.



quote end: but I'm probably just rambling since your mind is pretty much made up.

Tampermonkey users might need to actually add in the jQuery library manually. (jQuery.com for link)
Got lazy on timing.
Still should have better error handling for when you're posting too fast.
Want to add cleverbot conversations, but...got lazy. xP

IS THERE A SPOILER TAG? Lol.

Why did you make an alternate account to post this?

Good job either way. Looks fairly functional. Congrats if you won.

Because I don't feel comfortable posting anything that violates Gaia ToS. xD
To be honest, the only reason I want to win this contest is because I'm curious what the account is. xP Don't really care about the items or gold.

Tree wrote:

Unless someone else posts some source, then in about 4 1/2 hours it looks like you will win.
A few points though. I believe from my testing with quick reply is it will only want a captcha if you aren't verified, otherwise it has never asked me for it (not 100% sure I could be wrong). There is also a much better way to getting forum topics through a JSON return, which would make getting thread IDs incredibly simple.
Other than that it looks fine, and you'll most likely win it now.

Edit: Since you actually posted source, I'm going to close down the guessing of numbers now. It's strictly a source code contest.

I've gotten captchas on quick reply before. It's kinda rare, but it happens.
I actually didn't think about doing it the way you mentioned (though I may have found it; I'll ask if what I thought you meant was right after the contest ends). BUT the mobile API generates (a very small amount, but...real nonetheless) gold when you use it. Using the code I posted would not only get gold from posting, but it would also get gold from the mobile API.
Also, still working on the bot. Making tweaks here and there, just in case someone else submits something.

Edit: Did this because lol.

There should be a way to automatically parse returns such as Forum Pulse, especially in what you are using. I know in Python I was able to read Forum Pulse to a dictionary using simplejson (the default JSON module only works on well formed JSON).

Edit: jQuery.parseJSON/

o_O Pretty sure $.ajax() will automatically parse the json. xD Hence why on the response, I go straight into for(var x in r). o.o

Tree wrote:

Oh, I just glanced over it quickly, and saw the split so was thinking you were splitting the return. Misread it + I barely use Java.
It still looks like you will win unless Use or someone else posts something.
