NaPo 2018 Neapolitan Stats & Cloud Center

Audy · 2018-04-01T06:54:30Z

2018 NaPo Cloud Center We interrupt this NaPo with very important screams. The science team took a year off to build us a super-powerful computer that we will be using for our annual NaPo celebrations! The computer supposedly feeds upon the words of all NaPo poems and spits out poem statistics right back at us. Nifty, right? We took the liberty of feeding it all the early March poems to provide the preview below! https://image.ibb.co/m00qpn/wordcloudmarch31.png Wow! It looks like there is romance in the air. Well, the math is alright. But what does that have to do with fun? I'll tell you! With this new invention, we've created 3 New Games for your entertainment. And No! We're not playing the Hunger Games. Maybe next year. The Strawberry Games https://image.ibb.co/dJdbUn/strawberryicecream.png Will YOUR poem win the daily raffle?! Everybody loves waffle-cones! That's why we have a daily raffle-hour! A random word will be selected daily. If the word is contained in your poem-for-the-day, you win 10 points ! We will be running the raffle daily for 30 days! At the end of the month, the five people with the most points will be awarded the strawberry badge ! The Vanilla Games https://image.ibb.co/h2BGvS/vanillaicecream.png Will YOUR poem be vanilla enough? Vanilla is best with toppings and other things to complement it! That's why the vanilla games change daily! Sometimes, the winner is the poem with the most onomatopoeia. Sometimes, the winner is the poem that has the most words that start with the letter T. If you believe your poem matches the description that best fits the vanilla games, you may win 10 points for the day! At the end of the month, the five people with the most points will be awarded the vanilla badge The Chocolate Games https://image.ibb.co/gTYApn/chocolateicecream.png Can YOU guess tomorrow's MOST COMMON word? Submit your guesses below! For this game, you don't even need to participate in NaPo to enter! All you have to do is check out all the daily word clouds. Try to guess which ONE WORD will appear more frequently among all the poems submitted for the day. If you guess correctly, you will win the chocolate badge as well as 100 points for the day! General Rules: 1. Conjunctions, Articles, Pronouns will not get fed to the SuperComputer. We like to keep it running healthy and those words are known to be high in gluten. 2. For the chocolate games, you can only submit one guess word per day. Please post in this thread. Also note, you cannot change your entry once submitted for the day. 3. Your entries are timestamped for the current competition. For example, if you guessed the word: LOVE on Day 12, and LOVE appears as the most common word for DAY 23, it will not count. If it appears as the most common word for day 10, it will not count. We will take account different time zones, however. 4. The Chocolate Games will NOT repeat any words. If LOVE shows up again, we'll go by the second most frequent word and the word cloud will reflect it. 5. If you submit a poem of a certain number of word count, and that poem only has one word repeated over and over and over and over again - your poem will be disqualified for the chocolate games.

I hit the Napo jackpot today. My last poem A Storm Distilled in a Girl has several mentions of storm, flood, rain, maelstroms, tsunamis, and hurricanes. So many destructive forces of nature. xD

I think processing plant could possibly fit the qualifications? I mentioned "water beds" and water is an element!

@Aley said my poem may count because it was just a couple minutes after midnight (missing the 3rd)?

cosmic lattes and other exotic coffeehouse specials It mentions water

@bluewaterlily with 110

Spoiler

I counted 4 uses of storm (synonyms for storm does NOT count - strawberry game is ONLY the word itself xD) but I also counted 6 elements

ice, lightning, water, thunderx2, stone. Giving you 100 points!

Spectator with 70
@Hattable with 40

Spoiler

I counted wind, stone, water in traveler of seas totaling 30 points!

@Evander with 30

Spoiler

I found water! I'm also giving you points for rock(s) and ground in "precious metals" because I play pokemon and those are elements too ^_^

@Lareine with 20
@Aley with 20

Spoiler

I'm counting dark as an element because pokemon.

@Rosendorn with 10
@Querencia with 10
@Arcticus with 10
@soundofmind with 10
@killeham with 10
@TheSilverFox with 10
@fortis with 10

The Games are Real Close! We had Bluewaterlily jump 100 points with heaps of vanilla and strawberry scoopings but Alliyah manages to keep her lead scooping up more vanilla to counter Bluewaterlily's race to the top!

Don't get too comfortable ladies. Hattable and Evander are gaining and we've got more players now scrambling for scoops as well!

Who will win? Time will tell!

April 4th

Let the records show- we almost had a winner! @PrincessInk, you had the right word just the wrong timing

Awww! Get those guesses in folks, you never know when you can score big

Today's Ice Cream Games

If your poem contains the word "tumble" or any words that might be an onomatopoeia, you will have won today's games! Post below to reveal winnings!

For those of us with bad luck, post below to guess tomorrow's most frequently used word!

Code: Select all: [b]Strawberry Games Entry[/b]: Does your April 4th poem contain the word 'tumble' ? If so link to your poem! [b]Vanilla Games Entry[/b]: Does your April 4th poem contain an onomatopoeia? Examples: boom, buzz, pop, bark, clanging, clap, etc. ? [b]Chocolate Games Entry[/b]: Enter A word You Guess will End up as Tomorrow's Most Common Word!

Quick note! I will back-reward points. Meaning, if you're only finding out about this now and you think your April 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st, poems qualify - just link me to them. But you must link me!

I also have backlogs of everyone's poems in a notepad somewhere. So you can't cheat me and "edit" in a word

I'm doing this for those who did win but I might've missed! And if you think I missed something, don't sweat, just let me know!

'Tis the season! Donate your poetry.

Interestingly enough for those who guessed "storm" *cough* Mesh *cough* -- that word did appear 7 times

Tumble weirdly enough appeared 8 times o_o

Compare to "time" which appeared 30 times!
