Hello,  guys. I know  people have been scratching their heads about the  deleted topic " Hello world.... Hello friend"



It is not a one thing but many things, something with multiple purposes and multiple outcomes and at multiple stages.




First, congratulations participants of the original ( deleted thread) you have been rewarded for you participation after special consideration. Check your DM.

Second  My personal special thanks to: @Garyhost @offersfan36 
Be curious, stay curious.
Check your DMs too you have received a pleasant surprise.

There is a story behind creation of this "Thing" ( for lack of better word)  by me and some of friends ( the word friend applies loosely here)  that's a complicated  long story in itself.

I don't know how much of that I can or should share. I don't know how much I can explain about this "thing" especially the parts which are NOT my brainchild.

Inception of this project happened inspired by the story... Premise of  an old movie  "Exam" (2009-2010). Where there's a blank question paper, lots of rules and a timer ticking away. And you have to answer a unknown question. You can check that out.

So what is the "thing"?

• This is an unconventional Poll, Fill in the blank "Hello_____"
It's just for fun atleast that's what it is meant to perceived as first.

• This is a ( Psycho Cognitive)  Test.

• This is a Puzzle. ( Think of escape room meets treasure hunt meets dungeons and dragons)

•  This a Game Which reveals information/Art/stories ( from each option) which reveals a larger story when it is combined and compiled the right way.

• This is a Device that can generate seemingly random but fixed range of values.  A Coin toss almost always produces binary results. This on the other hand.... Limitless.

• And last but not the least this is a contest where everyone can win.

Maybe even more.


This 'thing' was started because we ( me & friends) We were pondering upon some questions.

1) So  What would a real person (might) do when they are presented with  a situation with no particular rules, objective or rewards or risk. where possible choices (options)  are  seemingly non-existent, random and nonsensical (at first glance) ?

2) What could this situation make  them feel (the topic) irrespective of their action or choices ?
Their first  thought ( comments and emoji reaction to others comment)

3) Can we extrapolate information about some of their cognitive and behavioral attributes through this test? ( Like curiously,tenacity)

4) Based on this ( Barely Scientific) test can we get a crude estimation of  some aspects of society the participants belong to? (Of course only If there are enough participants )

5) Can this short experience has long-term effect on participants cognitive abilities? (Not implemented in this version of test)

6) People can be motivated by  common external motivators ( money,fame, etc). What if their external motivators come after they reveal their unbiased internal motivations  ( kindness,curiosity, willingness to participate just for fun etc.).
How would that effect others  participants?

........

Few rules that I can reveal about this "Thing"

1) The game starts When someone
"Admits & inquires"

When someone Admits they don't understand it and ask the op Directly to explain the post in clear and concise manner in a single comment. Language variations are acceptable.

2) Then I  (op) can can reveal little bit of information about the "thing" after the game starts to help people participate.

3) Most options are something  humans have created and are very popular. They all have a interesting story behind them

"Hello,world!"  Code every programmer learns to display this sentence at the beginning of their coding leading.

Hello, friend! A worm (computer email virus)  called Gurong A which sent email subject "Hello Friend" to everyone and it's also a title of a popular TV series episode.

All the options are related to pop culture or something popular among particular group of people ( Coders, Movie buffs etc.)   They have a clear meaning and story ( just google it and think) though not all are easy to find ....

except last two options. They are Different differently.

Last option was created me.



4) There are total 9 options. 8 visible.

5) If the reaches game reaches 4th stage or  beyond each participant become eligible for their minimum participation reward or more (₹50+ upto ₹100 in final stage upto 100 participants)  and ones who completed the each stage first becomes eligible for their Victory Rewards (₹1293 each)

Participants must not know about any rewards until game is completed (All stages) or Game ceases to exist for some reason, until deadline/ expiry date.

6) I (Op) shall not intervene or moderate or participate in comments or DM unless it's absolutely necessary (during the Game is running.)

7) Everyone can get reward only twice. Once for participation and once for successful completion of a stage "Victory".
