Real point of CF
By b-aza-lt, history, 4 years ago, In English

Hi everyone!

As you all know codeforces was made as an analogy of social network back then. You can make friends here, find a partner, meet new people, find a job, write posts, buy a house and etc. And just sometimes, to take a break from these difficult activities, you write rounds(does they change something?). And this is why the main goal here is to raise your contribution.

Probably you are thinking that I am talking nonsense, but I can show you that contribution is really more important than rating. So the question is, How much of you know about tourist, Benq or Um_nik? Right, no one. But we all know about Monogon and SecondThread.

So what is the point of these reasoning?

I want to have smallest contribution possible, current record is -120. I can also check what is the lower limit of it. Maybe there is a second live under -120? We don't know. I'm ready to plunge into darkness to explore the depths of this madness. So I need your help. To start down-vote this post. Also I need some advice from experienced people (contribution less than -50) how to drop it down.

But of course without cheating like spamming or meaningless comments, cause we are all here for fair competition.

UPD: First goal -10 is reached! Keep it up!

UPD2: Second checkpoint, -20. Good job!

UPD: -30!

I'm not entirely sure why you argued contribution is good and decided to have the least...

I don't see any point of this argument But, I can definitely tell that geniosities like Um_nik, tourist, Benq, tmwilliamlin, are a lot more known than Monogon and Second Thread.

This is not to say that they are not geniosities. But yeah people with higher rating generally the ones who are more recognised.

The reason being the fact that you specifically need to know about Codeforces in order to understand what exactly is meant by contribution. And when you know about Codeforces, you'll definitely have a look at top 10 participants, along with top 10 contributors.

However, in order to know about top 10 participants, you needn't know about Codeforces.

Thus I conclude this unnecessary argument with the fact that both are equal in terms of being known

Thank you :)

PS: I didn't tag anyone cuz I felt it's unnecessary to tag them for such a comment

To lower your contribution, post controversial proposals.

but

Make it awfully formatted such that it seems like trolling.

eg “MiKe cAn wE hAvE nEw cHeeT dEtEctIoN ????”
