It seems to be back up, but I didn't do anything. I'm still going to find out what happened and make sure it doesn't happen again.
Thanks for posting this. I probably wouldn't have noticed until January.
Edit: it turned out to be a problem with the server. Thanks again for the heads up and for everyone’s kind words.

Doesn't it already accomplish this? The game accepts an input every n frames; if the chat has a higher occurrence of a certain key input it has a higher chance of accepting that one.

Was considering of doing a similar thing for accepting candidates for my house. My plan was to take all the responses, strip all references to locations, and then randomly send them to every listing in every other major metropolitan area. The one that got the most callbacks I would then callback. In the end, my roommates read through all the responses and I didn't have to do any work.

There's plenty of work to go around; unfortunately many companies blind themselves to only hiring top-rank college grads.
People complain about a lack of talent in the technology world--some of that has to do with the absurd hiring practices of technology companies
