I like the SN before, more chilled and more time to craft the work...
and I also don't like the feeling of being incentivized / "forced" to write, I write because I want to.

I am slowing down my SN posting, otherwise Car will call me again on SNL because I am posting too much.

it's really funny how using different ways to show rewards can really change people's behavior, but what it really doing is a. new stackers won't even get to share the cake b. from 2- 64 are probably the same or less than what they used to stack, but the first takes the most, so everyone complete to be that one.

I think these experiments are valuable and the site is still young, so now is the time to do this stuff.

Not necessarily. If the sprint causes the biggest posts and comments of the month to occur, then those will change people's ranks.

The scoring system is extremely non-linear. Having the top post/comment matters a lot, plus that would mean all other posts from throughout the month will become worth less, because their ranks are being reduced.
Also, zapping the top posts/comments early matters a lot. So, if those posts/comments haven't happened yet, then neither have the early zaps on them.

it’s not 30 races…. it’s one long race where a competitor can join at any time?
That's my understanding. It's a pretty different game when you think about it. It will reward different people.
