Opticraft Community

Here is how this works you start a>>B>>C>>D>>E... and so on until you get to z then you start again but this time it will go AA>>AB>>AC untill you get to AZ then BA and so on until you spell Opticraft so I'll start

A

B
It's going to take a long time to reach Opticraft.
[spoiler]The number of posts it will take to reach Opticraft can be calculated. OPTICRAFT can be thought of as a number in base 26, which can be converted into a base 10 (decimal) number.
First each letter needs to be converted into a decimal number, A=1 B=2 ...
So ZA=26,1 this is still a base 26 number but with numbers instead of letters
In decimal ZA=26×26¹+1×26⁰=677
OPTICRAFT=15×26⁸+16×26⁷+20×26⁶+... =3,267,201,867,508 posts
That is more posts than have ever been made on this forum by many orders of magnitude, to finish it in a year 103,602 posts would need to be made every second. [/spoiler]

Here's a cookie.

In that case, give up.

Caanite's just mad because we won the Count to 15 before I reply post.

You deserve a reward.

It could work if you skip all non words so the next one would be I.

How about we ABC to something else that's more possible, even just Opti.

C
How about we try to make it to E? We'll set little short-term goals, and then over time, we might make it all the way to Q, or beyond!

Ten posts in and we just got to the third letter of the English alphabet. I'd say that's pretty efficient!
