    Since quite a few are asking about Who Won Anyway?

    Here's the list: http://ping.sg/quiz/topplayers

    Congrats to Sheylara for the win.

    I had as much fun following the intense competition yesterday as you all had fun playing.

    And following sevaral blogs that talked about it, it seems like there were quite a few that wanted to wake up at 5am to do the final rush.

    I'll definitely be blogging about it at Ping.sg's blog for the menshan and hopefully some interesting stats. :)

    Happy April Fools, though we didn't really try to fool you.
  1.  
    hahaha,

    Now whenever I find any interesting blogpost, I make the effort of looking at the poster's nick, and soonpian try to observe his/her style of writing.

    Just in case ya know, you decide to revive the game for Deepavali or something

    OMG i won!!! I can't believe it. I thought ironicgamer and ridz were gonna come back at 5am to pia... but they never. lol.

    Thanks Uzyn for the crazy time sink. I only slept 3 hours, and it was a restless sleep because my mind was still damn active from all the analysing of blog titles and first paragraphs. Hahahaha.

    By the way, please award my prize to the next in line who doesn't have a Ping.sg tshirt. I already have one, so would be good to let someone else have one, too! :)

    hey congratz sheylara! Hahaha...i so couldn't wake up after my nap! But it was fun!

    Kudos to Uzyn for building it...eh, maybe you should make the game a permanent feature somewhere...lol...reset the scores every month or something...lol
  2.  
    Oh no! If you do that, if you form a EPL (English Ping League), we are all not gonna be able to get work done! LOL!

    Haha monthly league would be cool. I'll be reworking on the game when I have some time so that we can make the game not just a fun feature to have but a useful feature to the community (maybe to assist in checking out other popular but outdated posts by other fellow bloggers, or maybe helps in tagging, etc.)

    BTW, as I was composing the concluding post on the game, I wanted to compile a list of interesting quotes about the game. Here's what I got to so far, and I realized it's still more than 12 hours of quotes for me to go through, I gave up halfway for seeing my long to-do list for tasks that I have to complete today to secure my head.

    Do feel free to help me complete the quotes if you guys have some spare time. Hehe then I can add in to the post.

    Interesting quotes (from shoutbox):

    daphnemaia: err... arzhou failed math 101?
    ntt: @uzyn. Lucky we bochap all lectures... else we become like arzhou.. :p
    (11:14)
    xizor2000: uzyn> also on the matter of name appearing twice, I also noticed that unclesha's pings appear twice often.

    (13:44)
    nannywen: gah i only can guess dk's entries from his english. ha.

    nicole: like what ? :P
    ridz84: like how do you guess the answers?
    ridz84: just keep talking! talk about anything
    ntt: @uzyn.. that's ridz's trick lah.. make nicole shout.. so she's distracted.. and he can win lah..

    yes, I'm that mad woman. Me and chaosdingo battled it out in the last 2-3 hours. He was leading by about 10-20 point at first, we both slowly climbed up the ladder and a heap of cowboycaleb's pings later, tadah, I overtook chasodingo and from then on, I kept leading and the lead kept extending. Hehe...

    good game, uzyn, clearly a lot of effort put into an April 1st's special!

    This is official and scientific proof that Singaporeans are too competitive.. It's an April fool's game for goodness sake..

    well, it worked. And ppl got addicted...

    I think Uzyn should label it as a 'drug' warn others of it's 'addictive nature' before letting ppl play it.

    WAHAHAHAHA

    I got into the top 20 lor. Considering the fact that I was not playing regularly and kept checking back my plant tycoon and only came back to WPIIA once in a while when I got bored with Plant Tycoon/gotta wait until the plant grows... I guess that's pretty decent. LOL
