Feel like competing with www.minastirith.com? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hear me now, Barrow-wights of the North!!

I am come from Minas Tirith (www.minastirith.com, a Tolkien message board just like the BD) down in the South.

I hereby challenge you on the behalf of all citizens of Minas Tirith to a game of... typing!

Please join this simple yet amusing project:

WhatPulse

You have a small client program running on your computer. Whenever you press any key on your keyboard, the program notices it and increases your keystroke count by one. Then you can have the client to 'pulse' a central server regularly, that is, send your amount to it and then your amount is added to your total amount in the statistics.

Users are competing with each other. You can also create and join teams. Like indivual users, team are competing with each other. Team members are also competing with each other within their team.

Some MTers have formed their own team and now I suggest that the BD forms one too! Let's see who is the one that types more. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

You have to act fast because Minas Tirith have already had their team for several days and we have got a nice lead! Perhaps we could start all over again if you protest too much.
