Forum - Space Odyssey MMORPG - a massive free online space game

We try to count as high as we can with roman numerals. The Rules:
1. No Double Posting
2. One Numeral per Post
3. We start over if someone messes up. Spam posts are disregarded for this rule.

I'll start us off.

How Roman Numerals Work (http://home.hiwaay.net/~lkseitz/math/roman/numerals.shtml)

I use roman numeral for my ship componants, becomes a problem with high numbers as the game won't permit 3 X's being used!

"OH GEE I MESSED UP LOL"
No.

>>> toRoman(1337)
'MCCCXXXVII'

VIII

(I assume we're going with the modern form rather than the original?)

IX

Yes, modern form.

On a side note, at what point can we petition for qe2eqe to be banned, mods?

idk, but i second the banning motion

He is just making up for inadequacies in the real life

Doesn't mean we can't give him another failure!

I so wish i could do multiple in one post

Either works IXX is 10 - 1 + 10 = 19, XIX is 10 + (10 - 1) = 19

V

VI

Kenquinn, just because it might make sense does not mean it is correct. Similar logic would say that IIIII is just as correct as V, or that IVVIVI is just as good as XIV.

Now, it was said at the beginning of this game that we would go by the modern usage, which states that 19 = XIX. If we don't want to play by those rules, we can very easily change them. Why don't we ask everybody?

Do we want to relax the rules? Or do we want to stick with standard modern usage?

P.S.

Once we get to 99, we're going to have to make a decision. Technically, 99 is XCIX, because a numeral cannot be preceded by anything less than one-tenth of its value. But many people use the technically incorrect shortcut, IC.

LXXVII

Don't you mean if we get to 99? And I think it should be XCIX cause technically it is correct.

LXXVIII

If, when, whatever. I would hope that we reach 99 at some point before the end of time (http://www.angelfire.com/nf/chronotriggeronline/eraendoftime.html).

etc...

MXX

You have violated the rule of the game your only allowed to post one at a time...

XVI...

We try to count as high as we can with roman numerals. The Rules:
1. No Double Posting
2. We start over if someone messes up. Spam posts are disregarded for this rule.

Thats not double posting eh?

XVII

Seems to not be against the rules lol.
Blak?

XVIII

He double posted in a sense I think he meant you only allowed to post on roman number at a time.... He post 8 of them that has the same effect of posting that many times in a row.

Oh and lets not forget the numeral: XIX

Its a rule and you have to interpret logically and not like a bible :atention:

XX

The argument seems moot, considering XVI follows neither X nor MXX.

Not to mention whitelightercarl's X doesn't follow my X.

(36 is what that means so people know where we are at  :14:)

XXXVII

Your not supposed to tell people...........

XXXVIII

Um its not in the rules jango you can tell what number it is if you want to...

XXXIX

But that ruins the point of it being Roman Numerals..........
If you post what number it is every time then we might as well do 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.

XXXX

He posted once in 19 pages what number it was equal to if he keeps doing it i agree it would be an issue but he did it once.

What is an issue is that XL, not XXXX, follows XXXIX.

i guess we go with I then :D

Why don't you all just die?

I think somebody messed up somewhere.

Sorry but I can't see poop there.
Ever heard of

Sigh...
No.


LXVIII

They talking about these two.
Surprising no one caught on to it.

I

It did seem a bit fast.
II

Why the hell was the count reset? No one got anything wrong and whats rangers post about all it is is random copies of post being made here....

Edit: Also me and hyperion are not the same person if that is what ranger is implying.... I have access to a computer 12 hours a day so one thing I check every 10 to 15 minutes is the spaceo forums due to being a moderator.....

III

Why was the count reset!!!!! Jango did LXVII then Hyperion did LXVIII so why was the count reset!!!!!

IV

Ken look at the quotes I posted then go back a few pages and double check it.
We screwed up but nobody noticed 'til Ranger posted and I looked back at it.
