    Besides 1 and 2nd place a lot of people actually earn more with the new bonus spread.

    @Randomacts @Eisenpower Thanks guys. Yeah it seems like a better system, and encourages people to try harder.

    As someone that got the $15 bonus more than once it does make me slightly salty but I understand why it was changed and it isn't a bad change.

    To make sure I understand it completely, is the goal to start off simple and make each command more and more complex, or to just make as many complicated and varied commands as possible the entire time?

    You want it complicated enough but not too complicated.

    I guess, if you manage to make it in the top 8, which I've only done once; though I haven't had the chance to do as many competition ones as y'all.

    You should vary your language. Pretend you are teaching a child that can fly. Don't use words that are very complex. Understand actions and the difference between them is important it would seem. My ranking has gone all over the place from 20th to 8th, can't seem to get higher but trying. So I am no expert. lol

    This may help If you're having trouble communicating with our friend @leafs4_cup

    Sadly, he may not be down with "bunnyhug" though.



    "To understand the different ways that Canadians speak, we conducted an online survey of English-speaking Canadians, asking 35 questions about everything from what you call a carbonated, sugary beverage (pop vs soda vs soft drink) to the preferred term for an evening meal (the great supper vs dinner debate). We then mapped the results, revealing some stark and surprising linguistic patterns across the country. In the maps that follow, each colour represents a term or pronunciation being most dominant in that region, and the intensity of the colour corresponds to its level of dominance there. If a region has a white or very light colour, then there is no particularly dominant term in that case.

    We collected over 9500 responses from across the country, including from every province and territory, as well as a significant number from interesting linguistic subregions like Cape Breton, Labrador and the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland. We also collected a significant number of responses from some of Canada’s most populous provinces, allowing us to study the differences between densely populated urban areas (like the Greater Toronto Area and southwestern BC) and more sparsely populated, rural areas (like Northern Ontario and the BC Interior). The maps show only Canadians who both grew up and currently reside in the same province or territory, which helps to isolate regional influences in language."

    With these John Does are you counting fighting game vids as sensitive content? There's been no swearing just fighting.
