The other day I had a thought how to raise as much rice as humanly possible and then I thought, why not have an endurance category to see who can raise the most rice in one sitting of 2 hours on Freerice.com?
Do you guys think this is a good idea?
Nice idea! Can you comment a few links of other channels doing this so we can get more feedback? If others express interest, we could definitely try something!
This is the only example I remember, not sure if its the best model: https://www.speedrun.com/sws/Harbor#Survivor
Edit: Warrior, the fastest one would be basic math.
I was thinking of something like that. Instead of an endurance run, it would just be to get 100K Grains as quick as possible using any means. But then I thought people would just do the quickest category over and over again which would just make it 100K of just that one category.
I would like to see something like this happen, but it would need some additional rules to make it more interesting.
I'm thinking, instead of a 2 hour limit, we have no limit on how long people can run. They can do any categories they please and just have to keep going. We'd have a rule saying that you can't be afk for a certain period of time. Something like that.
Still need more input from everyone on how this coudl be implemented...
I am really in favor of the Endurance Run. I would like to see the run scored based on time, and not the Rice gained or Rice Per Minute. I believe it would be best time based is because it's best for endurance. If it was about the amount of rice, people would just do the same fastest category over and over again, which will make not only the run boring, but also make the runner bored too. That's why having not to worry about the rice gained would encourage runners to do different categories, even if they do take more time to answer each question. This would make the run more fun, and make it much easier to last a long time answering questions. Of course, seeing how much rice gained overall would be nice, but it shouldn't be the main focus. That being said, I can't wait for something like this to happen.
My suggestions: -Goal: Collect rice as long as possible. -The runner must continuously be answering questions -The run ends when no question has been answered for one minute -Some exceptions to this rule is the SAT. In this category the run ends when no question has been answered for five minutes -For any "all subject" runs, the run ends when you remain on the "subject select" screen is remained open for more than three minutes. -After every hour, the player can take a five minute break, and these minutes do not rollover. -Collecting the most amount of rice is not deciding factor, the amount of time spent is. -For any "all subject" runs, the runner must at least answer one question correctly for each category for the run to be valid.
K Munch, you will be our first test runner! Make sure to read the updated rules and try to adhere to those as best as possible, also factoring in Warrior's additions. There are a lot of things that might change though... still not sure about timing rules, added recording rules, time input when submitting, etc. -- expect a short delay in verification until the rules are cleared up.
If you want to really make it hard for us, play for three days straight. :P
There's a rule that will let you take a 9 hour break for sleeping as long as your stream is still running :D
