The prosecution's argument hinges largely on the fact that when the 24-hour mark on the clamato post was reached, despite the post clearly only having 27 points, the total vote count was 29 upvotes and 2 downvotes. According to @Polsaker, the 29 upvotes are all that were needed, the downvotes do not offset the results, and the total vote count means NOTHING.

This is an inherently flawed argument. For one, the official post uses the terminology 'upphuk', a phrase which I coined in the hot sauce video all those years ago. Me being the one who originated the phrase, I reserve the right to define it, and its definition is the TOTAL VOTE COUNT on a post, which is displayed between the upvote and downvote buttons.

Additionally, as you can see in the post title, there is an arrow specifically pointing in the direction of that number. If we were counting the upvotes alone, the arrow would have needed to point the other direction.

Finally, I would like to cite precedent from another shitpost of mine, the tide pod enema challenge. In this post, I promised to shove 27 tide pods up my ass if and only if the post were to reach that many upvotes. Though I did not use the terminology 'upphuk' in this case, and though the post itself did not reach 27 individual upvotes, the comment section very clearly supports the case that the results rely on total vote counts rather than individual upvotes. If you scroll down, you'll find a comment by @smallpond in which the user became concerned for my well being and chose to downvote the post to prevent me from doing the challenge.

I consider this a pretty open and shut case. We won, and will not be drinking the clamato juice.

The 28 upvote mark was clearly reached. Nowhere was it mentioned that it had to be within 24 hours and there is no precedent in older challenges where that happened.

Also you clearly downvoted your own post. That action, while legal, makes you officially a pussy and a faggot.

24hrs to make the target was always implied. And only the actual displayed upvote value counts. Not how it got there. So 27 was the final at the 24hr mark.

Also broccoli, which makes your argument invalid.

The rule was unspoken as it was previously unnecessary. The hot-sauce challenge made the mark within the first 24 hours, and the tidepod enema did not. As a defacto time limit, we used the front page sidebar, which only displays posts that are less than 24 hours old. You yourself, when trying to dispute the upvote counts, cited the archive page that was made at the 24 hour mark; if anything you created the precedent.

27 points, the total vote count was 29 upvotes

27 points. 29 upvotes. upvotes, upphuks, same thing.

the definition is not yours, but the masses decision. it's a rather basic term for this site I believe. on each of our profiles there are "Phuks given" and "Total score" values. phuks, up and down alike, are individual variables, not net values.

If this post gets 28 upphuks

there you used it as a plural, net values are not described in plural. how could you have multiple total scores? seems to me you've got 30 upphuks and 2 downphuks. does a downphuk not exist? it would be logical to say you've got 28 phuks, 30 up and 2 down.

Anyways, when was a 24 hour mark even established? seems to me you've moved the goal posts a few times so far.

I agree with Polsaker. I can forgive the loose definition of whether upvotes refers to positive votes vs overall votes, but not specifying a time frame for the vote cutoff and then deciding on some arbitrary deadline once you realise the goal is going to be met is bullshit.

I hope you're thirsty.

The 24 hour limit was brought up in SDBH discord well before the post even hit 20. Moreover, HateCumbuckets and I personally watched the post sit at 27 for three hours, with the full expectation that it would crawl to 28. We were actually surprised when it failed to do so.

That may well be the case, but nothing was mentioned in the post.

We won people. Do I need to bust out the Wookie Defence? This is how you make me bust out the Wookie Defence.
