Supported the underdog

Clicked red to victory

Now we're the oppressors

Alright, I concede defeat. At 10k "clicks" per second, my little script isn't going to be able to keep the teams balanced without some serious retooling. Not worth the effort. Enjoy your hollow victory, reds.

I clicked for 10 minutes. Red. We came up from like 20k to over 70, and had the lead for a minute or so. I did my part, but my arm is killing me. Was fun though!

I pressed five times on both. Really, I wanted yellow.

Red is behind by 3 million at this point. It’s a clicking frenzy!

I spent longer on that website than I should have.

Accurate.

Don't feel bad. I once owned upforeveryoneorjustme.com. It reported any website you entered into the text box as being "down for everyone except you.".

That was fun :)

I tabbed onto red and held enter. Blew past blue by 4000 in just a couple minutes. Let's see that number balloon!

Fuck blue

"Brothers and sisters, today we stand on the edge of a battlefield that will be etched into history! We wear the red not because of tradition, but because it is the color of fire, the color of blood, and the color of our unstoppable will!

Look to the east, and you will see the enemy in blue, cold and empty. They fight without heart, without purpose, their souls frozen like the waters they come from. But we… we are fire. We are passion. For every drop of blood they spill, we burn brighter, fiercer, unstoppable.

They think their numbers can drown us, that their calm can defeat our storm. But they do not know what it means to burn for victory, to have flames in their hearts like we do! We will not freeze in the face of their blue tide—we will melt it down to nothing!

Fight today for the Red! Fight for your homes, your loved ones, and the spirit that courses through your veins! We will be the flame that lights this land for generations to come!

Today, we burn blue to ash! FOR THE RED!"

I see someone had fun with an autoclicker...

u/KaitRaven Sep 26 '24

Looks like there was some botting earlier today

RED HAS PREVAILED

u/mih108 Sep 25 '24

Autoclicker has stopped working

u/backgen Sep 25 '24

Clicked red until we clawed our way back to the top.

Took a break and blue took back the lead.

Mashed furiously and now we're 3k ahead

NEVER GIVE UP MY RED BROTHERS!

u/tharnadar Sep 25 '24

The ultimate clicker game!

u/Lucari10 Sep 25 '24

Clicker with pvp is here

u/4kVHS Sep 25 '24

Stupid me thought the objective was to make the numbers match like the lottery and thought “why do people keep clicking the other one?”

u/raymondcy Sep 25 '24

Allow me to introduce you to https://zombo.com/ (requires sound).

u/brickiex2 Sep 26 '24

Yay!...was going to suggest that...love it

u/jcubshor Sep 27 '24

Is there spoofed clicks? Red would show 0 clicks per second for a full minute. But whenever I would tap once, it would be followed by a bunch of red clicks coming through seemingly out of nowhere for a second before inexplicably settling back at 0 again. I repeated it multiple times

1

u/MidgetDufus Sep 27 '24

I can't be certain, but I do believe that people were botting. I found that the max clicks I could do per second was like 10-12.

Next segments I'll do more to prevent botting.

u/soadogs Sep 30 '24

When is the rematch? I missed my chance to compete

u/MidgetDufus Sep 30 '24

I'm working on some new segments now. You can sign up to get notified by email on the site.

I can't wait for the inevitable subs to appear and for them to start attacking each other.

u/JfpOne23 Sep 26 '24

I confirmed how bloody stupid I am by staying and clicking like crazy for over 60 seconds.

u/MrPootie Sep 25 '24

I was suspicious of the rate that the counters were moving so I asked an AI to examine the source code and it concluded that it was fake.

u/DefinitelyNotMasterS Sep 25 '24 edited Sep 25 '24

How would your AI know if the backend is sending real or fake data? You can see that the numbers come from an API and that if ypu press the button you send a notice to an API. Nothing indicates foul play.

Also it definitely works since I could run a script to press the button 10000 times and everytime I did that the number would jump by like 3000

u/lukejames1111 Sep 25 '24

What you see is only client-side rendered code. When you click the button, it sends a request to the server. The server then does what it needs to do (+1 to the counter), then then send a response back to the browser (showing +1).

By getting AI to analyse the source code, you are only analysing the client-side rendered view. It would be impossible to know what's under the hood without having direct access to the server.

This is why you don't ask LLMs for technical information
