Or that everyone submitted team entries and no solo stories, one person submitted both a solo and a team entry, or everyone submitted a solo and a team entry.

If he said he wrote "nothing" then he'd also encompass the fact that the word nothing was in his post.

He did write "anything" if he didn't write "anything".

This does infer that ejls didn't submit a story to the CAW SOP, that she hadn't created an entry for the CAW itself, and that she didn't create a submitted story. It is open to interpretation by pedantic standards.

We all had say-so in the determination of a theme. Don't you remember a preliminary discussion a while back? We discussed what we liked and didn't, how we should vote, if entries should be anonymous, ad infinitum? So we all had a part in every entry following those proceedings, did we not?

And a difference between writing for a competition and entering a competition.

It is equally assumed that everyone who wrote for this competition also wrote for other competitions on other sites, this entry could be a product of those failed attempts and previous failed attempts, in this CAW that weren't posted as an official entry here on XNXX.

No one can know anything that isn't told to them, redeemed. There are ways of verifying who is who. I don't have to think about what might happen, I see what does occur and I respond in kind. That is all I care about.

 

No, do the math. That wouldn't work.
You'd have x entries and x*2 entrants. Which would not equate to more entries than entrants.

The math wouldn't work for this either. The closest you would get is with one team entry, in which case the number of entries would equal the number of entrants. In any case with >1 team entry and only one author doing both solo and team, you'd have less entries than entrants.

To clarify, in order for the math to work on WSF's statement, the number of authors who submitted both a joint and a solo story must be greater than the number of joint stories submitted, and the total number of joint stories submitted must be an integer greater than zero.
If there were three joint stories, than four or more authors had to submit both joint and solo stories. If there were four joint stories, then five or more authors had to submit both solo and joint stories. etc, etc, etc

Assuming WSF's statement was true, then there are between one and six joint stories in this CAW.

That's a scenario covered by what I said, "a minimum of at least two people submitted as part of a team and also submitted solo stories."
However, your statement is made incorrect by the total number of stories not being evenly divisible by three.

Which is why I said this seems to be a contradictory statement. Much like "this statement is false" it contradicts itself by its mere existence.

Yes, however what the reader infers from a statement is not always what the writer was implying with that statement.
If I were to make the statement "today would be a good day for swimming" you might take that to mean I want to go swimming. While in reality I might be implying that I think you should go swimming.

Indeed. Thank you for reinforcing my position that claiming someone who was involved, wasn't involved is a false statement.

Yes, my point exactly. The terms have different meanings which are not fully interchangeable.

That's a pretty big assumption. I'd classify that as yet another statement you can't know to be true.

Exactly! We can't be sure of what the entrants did or did not write in the past!

I hope you don't mean that literally, as it would preclude the possibility of someone learning something on their own through direct observation without anyone telling them it.
i.e. a person can know "fire is hot" through their direct examination of fire, without someone else telling them about it.
This claim is disturbing as well, because it would mean that humankind is capable of learning nothing new. All that could be learned is that which others have already learned first. That as a species, we have already hit the pinnacle of our understanding and knowledge, with no further possibility of progression.

 

I think you are reading this wrong.

Entries = stories

Entrants = authors

13 entries could mean that one person entered a solo and a team. That would make 12 entrants.

A team effort was to be submitted by one person only.

 

Nope, do the math.
We have thirteen entries in the CAW. In your scenario, twelve of them would be solo entries. That's twelve authors right there.
Then the thirteenth story would be a joint effort, with one author from the previously-counted pool of twelve plus one additional author who hadn't contributed a solo story.
Thus, there would be thirteen entries and thirteen entrants. That doesn't fit WSF's claim of more entries than entrants.

 

The total number of entrants is equal to the total number of entries (we know this to be thirteen) plus the number of joint-entries minus the number of authors who submitted both a joint and solo entry.

x = number of entrants
y = number of joint-effort submissions
z = number of authors who submitted both a team and solo entry
x = 13 + y - z

Aesop: I am in agreement with you here.

Redeemed: Why the concentrated effort? Once the voting phase is done then we will know who/m wrote what and then that shall be that once and for all.

 

Seriously? The only productive post from me in here recently, and that's the one you two choose to comment on? The only post I made recently that actually clears things up, as opposed to further muddying the waters?

Why? Well, assuming that WSF's first hint was true, it seems at least two people misunderstood what it meant.
But that's assuming it's true. He's indicated that he wants to support the anonymity in this contest, which is why I'm not taking any of his "hints" at face value. I don't say that as an attack on his person or his character. After all, shouldn't a CAW SOP nurture the environment of the CAW?

 

We have thirteen entries in the CAW. In your scenario, twelve of them would be solo entries. That's twelve authors right there.
Then the thirteenth story would be a joint effort, with one author from the previously-counted pool of twelve plus one additional author who also contributed a solo story.

Thus we have twelve entrants and 13 stories.

One word changed and it becomes the other way around. Think outside the box.

 

You guys crack me up. I just enjoyed reading the stories.

 

VOTE

ditto

leave the crunching till AFTER the votes are in - 't ain't gonna do any good till then anyways.

 

Changing that one word would change the number of entries, which is a constant and not subject to change.
Let's look closer at what you just said:
"twelve of them would be solo entries. That's twelve authors right there."
Ok, now we're at twelve authors and twelve stories. So far, so good.
"Then the thirteenth story would be a joint effort, with one author from the previously-counted pool of twelve plus one additional author who also contributed a solo story."
Now we have thirteen authors and fourteen stories. Problem!
Why? We already had twelve stories. Then we added this joint effort (that makes thirteen). If one of the authors of that joint story also submitted a solo story, but wasn't counted in the initial twelve it must be an additional solo story(that's fourteen).

No, your math does not work.

You also changed your claim, as originally you said one author of the joint story contributed a solo story, now you're saying both authors of the joint story contributed a solo story.

That's what this means, that both of the authors of that joint submission also submitted a solo entry.
Again, WSF's hint will not be true for any condition where only one author of a joint entry also submitted a solo entry and there is only one joint submission.

 

OK let me spell it out for you in a simple way.

Story 1 - Author 1

Story 2 - Author 2

Story 3 - Author 3

Story 4 - Author 4

Story 5 - Author 5

Story 6 - Author 6

Story 7 - Author 7

Story 8 - Author 8

Story 9 - Author 9

Story 10 - Author 10

Story 11 - Author 11

Story 12 - Author 12

Story 13 - Author 1 and 2

Total authors 12
Total stories 13

You are assuming that the second person in the team effort did not submit a solo story we could have as few as 9 authors if 4 stories were written by teams that all members also submitted solo stories. WSF never claimed that only one author submitted a team entry he only said we had more entries than entrants.

 

x/y minus q/z multiplied 85 divided by 5 plus 2.5 multiplied by the square root of 84 = 12 writers confined to a 3 cubic foot padded cell

 

But only if that padded cell is at least z^3 in size and all the writers have hard heads.

 

Hard heads? What? Are they all male?

 

Now that is a sexist remark. I never expected that on a porn forum.

 

Right. Besides, some people think I'm lying, so there's not much point in debating it. I still maintain I've been truthful in my posts. Just a little, shall we say, vague.

That's uncalled for. We all know some pretty stubborn females.
