<p>Apparently 4 mondays have occurred in the last hour. That’s good, since I was sick of waiting for my billions of questions to go though.</p>
<p>Yeah somehow I just got 420 (28 monday’s worth) of free coins 
And it definitely wasn;t from referring friends to join the site</p>
<p>I just got about 30 e-mails from Game of Nerds about receiving coins. :P</p>
<p>What is the limit of sin(x) / x as x approaches 0?<br>
(4 out of 4 correct)</p>
<p>You’ve impressed me, medium-category players.</p>
<p>What is the dot product of <3i + 2j> and <6i - 3j>?
(1 out of 3 correct)
You’ve disappointed me a bit, hard-category players.</p>
<p>With such a small sample, it could just be stupid arithmetic messing with the last question though.</p>
<p>I want to submit a cross product question to the last tier of questions and see if they accept it :p</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I only got a few… </p>
<p>I demand more coins!</p>
<p>Did anyone just get 4 emails, each telling them you won 15 coins???</p>
<p>Wow, I really need to start reading the post right above mine…</p>
<p>I got 78 coins since I last logged in. Only a few were from confirmed questions!</p>
<p>I now have 444 coins.
I had to click through 28 messages to be able to accept a friend request.
I really hope they don’t take them away (eg. after noticing that, in fact, 28 mondays have not passed in an hour).</p>
<p>EDIT: There’s a news post on the front page explaining what happened and saying that they’re not taking it away, for now.
EDIT2: I had 2 friend requests that I clicked OK to not get OKed by the system, while one did. I sent one to the person who originally sent it to me, but the other one I don’t remember the username.</p>
<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I’m the (currently not very happy) person responsible for Game Of Nerds. I noticed some activity from CollegeConfidential recently, so I figured there’d now be some mention of the email bug which just occurred.</p>
<p>Believe it or not, this is actually not part of some scheme to get email addresses and then spam users. A function went crazy, 700 users got spammed, and I’m truly sorry if any people from here were inconvenienced. Since this is pretty much just me and the game, I’ll be working some night hours to figure out what went wrong.</p>
<p>Again, sorry, and feel free to play with the given coins until I figure out what to do about them. The unfortunate fact is that I’ll probably have to take back the majority of them in order to not devalue the coins completely, but there will be a compensation of some kind.</p>
<p>Just received 855 coins (57 Mondays worth)</p>
<p>0.o</p>
<p>You guys got in the 100s?? I only got about 60 or so.</p>
<p>And to the GoN admin, if we already spent a lot of these new coins playing, will we lose any progress we’ve made?</p>
<p>^ I doubt it</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If you’re referring to stats, high scores etc., then no, nothing like that will be deleted.</p>
<p>AND THANKS FOR NOTHING OTHERWINDOW ON THE FINAL QUESTION!!!</p>
<p>“Oh, I don’t know this one,” :((((((((((</p>
<p>
As the head ponzi benefiting from this website, I’d like to ask how it stacks up to the others. And thanks for letting them know what was going on; until a couple minutes ago, I was unable to post here. And also, thanks again for all the work you’re putting into this.</p>
<p>Looks like it’s time to start spending my free coins before they get taken away!</p>
<p>
Thanks for the explanation. I understand why you’ll have to take the coins away, so I’ll just have to play a lot tonight.
Fortunately, Gmail grouped all the emails into one, then put a (28) next to it. It didn’t even count it as 28 messages in my inbox.
I would like to know what happened to the friend requests that I accepted, but then had vanish into thin air. I also had a game that I was just playing crash (I lost a question, then it went back to the categories screen like it was supposed to, but my resurrections vanished and the categories were just dashes that I couldn’t choose). These aren’t complaints, btw. Just bug reports. I have liked the game so far.
EDIT: The whole thing seems to be running slowly right now. I assume it’s because everyone trying to play with their new coins while they can. If so, I suggest that you get a new server if you expect it to get popular.
EDIT2: That loading screen is great, though. I never had time to read it when everything was working properly, since it just flashed by too quickly.</p>

<p>I’ll absolutely be looking into these issues once this mail thing is done with. Is your username ingame the same as here?</p>
<p>Yes, without the 11.</p>
<p>How exactly do you call on friends to help you in-game? I put together a team but am unsure of how to use them.</p>
<p>Other than that, fantastic job you guys are doing, the site’s addictive.</p>
<p>
When you’re on a question, you’ll see a little percentage under each friend. If you need help, click a friend, and whether or not they can help you is based on their percentage.</p>
