Wow they average giving out almost ten pounds of rice a day!

Evil_Koala · December 4th, 2007, 07:28 PM

I already donated like over nine thousand tons of rice previous to this. I THINK I'VE DONE ENOUGH FOR SOCIETY.

I'm not even clicking that link it stinks so much of bad spam.

Midoriko87 · December 5th, 2007, 09:30 AM

It is really fun! ...'til you get three in a row wrong, then it's frustrurating (yea, you read right!). Then, when you make your comback, it's fun again... UNTIL...

And, the site looks all nice and stuff.

Well supposidly I jsut donated 5,680 grains of rice with a top vocab score of 27. I hope they are really doing that and not as a spam.

I only donated 360 grains of rice before getting bored, I don't think it's a spam but... WHy don't they just give that overproduced grain we have to the third world nations?

tenshi_a · December 5th, 2007, 10:13 AM

Ah, I saw this a few months back.

[tries it again]

The words are a lot easier now.

[clickety clickety click]

I've now donated 800 grains of rice, have a vocab level of 32, and am getting really annoyed at having to choose the nearest-to-a-definition-but-not-really because the words they're giving me are only rarely equivalent. They're more like... loosely related words that mean something else.

We do, we simply do not get the credit. Unicef is a prime example.

That would mean they would have to send more than $2.00 of rice per day.

Surprised no one's mentioned A Modest Proposal yet.

It's not that it's hard to work out what they want you to click, it's just annoying that it's getting you to click the incorrect answer and telling you it's right.
