    So, this is the other thing that annoyed me. I didn't know there were that many up and I know I missed Pins while I did that horseshit too.

    Well, for the requester you're purchasing a service, but they don't tell you what it is. In any other industry it wouldn't be acceptable. This phone is the best, the most luxurious, it's big league. No, we won't tell you why it's better than the other phone we sell for half price, which seems to do the exact same thing.

    For the worker, it's a performance review, and there's no discernible reason why that information should be hidden. If being a master is so easy that lazy workers could achieve it if they only knew the one weird trick, then the qualification shouldn't exist because it essentially defrauds requesters.

    If masters requires a certain high standard of work as they claim, then it shouldn't be possible for bad workers to achieve it just by knowing about it, because the standard should be high enough that they would need to work to improve, and would naturally become good enough workers.



    As a toy example, if it were just A9s and CIs, but a certain number of mistakes still get compensation, but if you make too many mistakes you don't get masters, then what good does it do to approve bad quality work? It prevents the worker from improving with feedback, it lowers the overall quality of received work, and it adds to the secrecy, which should be forbidden because any ambiguity or uncertainty in any aspect of life is totally unacceptable.

    I made it to 197 on my own, and then I "rolled" a 07. I want to know when he's going to pay out.....
    and if it's $10 or $30 because it was written different in both places

    Yeah, if you read the instructions you would see that the more points you get, you guarantee the bonus. I got 192 points. it says $30 though.

    I'm not entirely sure if strategy here is allowed, I'm guessing not, but there was a fairly simple method I used (and yes, I still have perfect vision (sorry))

    Yep, I'd be surprised if the $30 shows up...

    seeing as I messaged him the day of the hit to ask him which it was and I have heard nothing back?

    Although isn't this the same requester who does bonus as promised but it takes forever? Didn't he used to do investment hits for awhile?

    I used symmetry; whether there are edges facing each other.

    Mine was for asymmetry, not sure which was easier, but the 7 sided ones stuck out like a sore thumb.

    I guess you get less the more people have actually done the task. Because that's fair. I got 20 earlier, but @Randomcats says he got more.

    I'm making a tasty tasty red wine pork & lamb sauce today, and I want you guys to know I vigorously taste tested the red wine I'm using. I've tested it several times to make sure it still tastes fine.

    I have also tested the bacon for quality purposes.

    I'm extremely committed to my sauce you guys.

    Silly chrome, not autoplaying the videos anymore. If you have a script that autoplays videos, you'll have to go into chrome://flags and turn that new feature off.
