10/26 - Thwarted Thursday!

Should probably add Chester to that list of guys we lost way, way too soon from that era.

Edit: And Bradley Nowell. Damn, Sublime was a great band.

 

Speaking of that, I have like a bazillion mechanical keyboards and have been thinking of trying out a 40% board.

If anyone wants a mechanical board, I have 32 different flavors.

 

so like this?

 

The people over there that are Grinching have the same opportunity as everyone else does to learn how to use scripts and work efficiently. It's not our fault if they choose not to do so. "It's not fair, it's not fair". Bullshit. Take some responsibility for yourself. If you don't know how then go learn, ask, or just flat out try. They mention TH by name, but yet they are still over there whining. Sorry, I got no government cheese to hand out.

 

Some of these boxes are really, really bad. C'mon people take the extra second and do a decent job -_-

 

I am now obligated to post this.

 

Yanno, when I decided to actually start Turking, I started on Reddit.

And just like this guy, I took the advice of someone to come over to a Turking forum instead of reddit.

And instead of getting pissed off at all of you, I decided to buck up & learn myself yer mad skills.

I'm hardly the most proficient Turker out there, I'm only about 4 months into this, but I am doing much better than that guy. And that's because I decided to take the time out of turking, to LEARN how to Turk better.

*sigh*... I have no sympathy for this little whiny guy who thinks everything should be handed out evenly.

 

My PE makes me cry too

 

It acts as the voice of reason to angsty teens that take life too seriously lol. "My life is an abyss"... Grinch listen to aqua you're life is acne and trying not to get a boner in school. When you've got a mortgage and two kids biting your ankles you can whine about life lol.

 

Got my $100 interview in 14 minutes. Time to dump my queue of stuff less than an hour...

See ya guys at the ass-end of 2pm.

 

That is hilarious!

 

???

 

What a sad list. I'd offer up Vedder and Corgan to have any of those guys back. I'd even take Bradley Nowell back. Silverchair came on a random Spotify mix the other day and I was surprised to google and find out that Daniel Johns is still alive and well. I was never a huge fan of theirs, but I wouldn't have bet he'd stick around as long as he has.

Next week I'm going to try to get tickets for Foo Fighters at Wrigley next summer.

 

Whoaaaaa now. We can't trade Eddie for one of them! He's one of the few we've got left, plus he's just too awesome of a dude

Super jealous of FF @ Wrigley!!!

 

Omg I'm sorry I'm so late. I got held up doing something for a requester, and I didn't get a chance to get this ready. On a side note, if anyone uses AWS, let me know, I'll shoot you a link to the survey once it's up. Without further ado:

Title: Trick or Treat Turk! Happy Halloween! | PANDA Requester: Tjololo [A20IXK8ZV8N72H] (TO) TO Ratings: ☢☢☢☢☢ 4.96 Communicativity ☢☢☢☢☢ 4.88 Generosity ☢☢☢☢☢ 5.00 Fairness ☢☢☢☢☢ 5.00 Promptness Number of Reviews: 36 (Submit a new TO rating for this requester) Description: Will you get a trick or a treat? Time: 60 minutes Hits Available: 1 Reward: $0.06 Qualifications: Brony is 100; Cheater! has not been granted; DoubleDip has not been granted

Donation status:

Spoiler

I've cut off donations and won't be accepting anymore. If you donate to me now, I'm just keeping it.

Qual info (and some other info) is reiterated in the spoiler below. I REPEAT! IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE QUAL, CLICK THE SPOILER BUTTON TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IT!. If you already read the spoiler last time, this one's the same.

Songs: Song 1 Song 2

Spoiler

As a reminder, I've changed how the hits work a bit. It's been dragging on a lot (Monday's hit just finished yesterday), so I changed the hits to put out 125 hits at $0.06, instead of 150 at $0.05. Not a huge change, should work out to the same amount in the end, but this will get it done a little faster (as well as give you all an extra penny. Don't spend it all in one place!).

Another reminder: I only put out hits Monday and Thursday. The hits may extend to other days, but those are the days that matter for quals. If you didn't win Monday and you see a hit Wednesday, you'll still be eligible on Thursday, because that's when the new batch goes out. Likewise, if you win on Thursday and see a hit on Sunday, you still won't be eligible Monday because that's the next batch. Hopefully that makes sense.

Eligibility

I decided to go with the same eligibility scheme. You can only win every other hit. Meaning that if you win, you will be ineligible to accept the next hit, but you will be able to accept the one after that. That's the best way to balance fairness with availability and number of hits.

Structure

I took some people's (unexpected) advice and dropped the pay in favor of having more hits available. There will be 150 hits at $0.05 each, for a total of $10.50 per hit, and $94.50 for the month excluding halloween. Halloween will be its own hit. I'd like to release 150 of those as well, with pay determined by how much I have left over and in the donation pot. Right now it's looking like it'll be around $0.17 each, though that may go up if additional people donate and/or if I get any more money to throw into it. For reference, $0.10/hit is $21, $0.25/hit is $52.50, and $0.50/hit is $105. Right now I have around $40, so if you want to increase the pot for everyone, look below for the URL.

Frequency

I'm going to be posting on Monday and Thursday, within the 12:00PM EST hour. People seemed to be the most active this time, and that was the two times I got most reported as "available" without complaints on my survey. This was the only "surprise" hit, hopefully it was still fun!

reiterated information

The qual can be requested at https://www.mturk.com/mturk/requestqualification?qualificationId=37O6I4CP4ADSVOT2B526P9T1IYF66V using the password 37O6I4CP4ADSVOT2B526P9T1IYF66VDV Just enter that string into the box and submit. You will be auto-approved within two minutes.

If you wish to donate to increase the Halloween pot (thank you to those who have!) you may do so at https://www.paypal.me/mturkTj any amount put into there will be added to the pot on 10/31. I also accept cryptocurrency, though I'm having issues accessing that so if you HAVE sent me any crypto (or wish to), PM me and let me know (transaction ID would be helpful if you have it) so that I can figure out what to do with it and/or send you the wallet addresses.

Happy Halloween everyone!

 

Woah, flashback to using Newgrounds in HS and feeling oh so edgy.

 

This thread is going too fast for me to keep track

 

I definitely appreciate Eddie for sure, but I'd take Staley, Cornell, or Weiland back for him. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices. How about de la Rocha? I'm so okay losing him.
