As per a recent petition to the office of the Absurdor, I was thinking
about possible patent titles (or other recognitions). I would like feedback.
I'm not sure how to turn all of these into titles, so I'll list here
what I though were interesting or unusual situations that could deserve
recognition:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
RECORDS
By height (1, 10, 100, 1000)
By speed (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, …)
By latest single push
By latest push
By earliest push
----------------------------------------------------------------------
EDGE CASES
Two pushes less than 5 minutes appart by two different players
Two pushes less than 5 minutes appart by a single player
A push during a leap second
A push as the first action a new player took
A push right before deregistering
Every registered player pushed this week
Only one player pushed this week
No players pushed this week
----------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTINCTIONS
Top pusher of a specific year
Top pusher of a specific time period
Pusher in a streak where the Boulder broke some record
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A long time ago I had thought of some mechanism to award “surprise”
recognitions as they happened, sorta creating an exploration
mini-mini-game where players were to try weird things to see if some
pre-defined definitions were triggered (kinda like a reverse-bingo),
but nothing came of it.
Could start with just administrative regulations stating that you'll
attempt to unofficially track these things for a while, then that
initial data could be used as a guideline for what seems worth a
Patent Title. Could also re-enact Ephemeral Patent Titles (which are
designed from the start to not be retained indefinitely, though iirc
some were left over after their backing rules were repealed).
