You have correctly guessed 4 ratings in their correct positions, with a majority of your guesses appearing in the top 10.

You have guessed 1 correctly, with half of your guesses appearing in the top 10.

You have guessed none correctly. Your guesses are mostly disastrously wrong and incorrect, except for 1 which appears in the top 10.

None of your guesses are correct, and I imagine you are surprised by a great many things.
It's basically impossible to actually calculate odds here, but very roughly, and being extremely generous, perhaps 1 in 10 Codexers are capable of getting the majority of the top 10 correct with a handful in the correct positions; 1 in 100 might get all 10 correct and a majority in the correct positions; and 1 in 1,000 will get all 10 correct and all in the correct positions, partly by sheer luck. The fuzzing created by nos. 11-15 is a huge factor here. Even someone with a preternaturally good sense for post ratings would find it extremely easy to assign no. 11 or 12 to spot 9 or 10 with no inkling that 11 or 12 don't belong in the top 10.
Again, this is being very generous. The real likelihood is probably more along the lines of 1 in 10,000 or much more. As such, sight unseen, it's most likely that no one will guess correctly.
DU's hints will be very necessary to create a winner, because there aren't enough regulars or even lurkers to expect a lottery winner. The hints so far have barely dented the already long odds.
The way things are going, people will have lost interest by the end of the week.

Yeah I bought The Sims 3 ages ago.
Considering that you can never repeat a rating, with 64 different ratings, approximately half a quintillion combinations are possible if people chose completely at random.
Since most non-newfags know exactly what the #1 spot is, have an excellent idea of the top 20, a pretty good idea of the top fifteen, a so-so idea of what all might actually be in the top ten, and some vague notions about the ordering, the actual odds aren't nearly that long. Nevertheless, the odds could easily exceed 1 in 1m or even 1 in 10m. I really was being very conservative.
Several rounds of DU hints and cross-referencing his analysis of partially correct answers may eventually result in a winrar.

Well, he will eventually give away 9 so someone has a chance to complete the game.

In Blaine's post, DU said:
In oasis789's post, DU said:
Brofist, Funny, Agree, Informative, Hopw roewur ne, Incline, Salute ,Despair and Wtf am i reading are all possible candidates. Since Brofist is a given, we can ignore him.
Instersecting oasis789's list with profreshinal's, we get:
Funny, Agree, Informative, Despair, which put them as possible candidates. (1)
In <3sRichardSimmons's post, DU said:
Agree, Wtf am I reading and hopw roewur ne. (2)
In Brocken Jr.'s post, DU said:
Agree, Funny, Informative, Hopw rower ne (3)
And last, in agentorange's post, DU said:
Funny, Agree, Incline, Hopw roewur ne, Despair. (4)
Now, DU said profreshinal only guesses 5 right, his intersection with oasis789 gives us also 5 ratings. oasis789's and ao's list gives us also 6 ratings.
Since both ao and profreshinal only guessed 5, intersecting (1) with (4) gives us:
Funny, Agree.
Intersecting (4) with (3), we get:
Funny, Agree, Hopw roweur ne.
Intersecting (3) with (1), we get:
Funny, Agree, Informative.
And last, intersecting (1), (2), (3) and (4), we get:
Agree.
Thus, it's obvious to see that Agree is confirmed. I'll assume that Funny is also confirmed given that (1), (3) and (4) have it.
Now, (2) gave us the intersection of both that have the majority of the top 10 ratings:
Agree, Funny, Informative, Hopw rower ne.
The complement is:
Retarded, Shit, Acknowledge This User's Agenda, Disagree, Racist, Salute, Despair and Wtf am I reading. Which is a fuckton of ratings.
Now, Informative and Hopw rower ne are possible candidates and are both in oasis789 and Brocken Jr., both have the majority of the top 10.
Now comes an elimination game(based on assuming that hopw and informative are candidate):
Looking at profreshinal's post, since he only guesses 5 rights, if we remove Funny, Brofist and Agree from his post, we have Informative there. Taking that as confirmed, we only need to find one more in his post. Comparing ao with the rest of the post, I'd also assume that Hopw roewur ne is confirmed.
So, in ao's list we have: Shit, Retard, Racist, Citation Needed, Despair, Incline (5)
And in profreshinal's, we have: Shit, Acknowledge this user's agenda, Disagree, Despair, Bad spelling, Racist (6)
Now, <3sRichardSimmons only guessed 5 too, so let's see what he have if we remove Brofist, Agree, Funny and Hopw roewur ne: retadred, shit, agree, edgy, wtf am I reading, disagree, YES. (7)
Looking at what I have confirmed as correct: ao guessed 4, profreshinal guessed 4 and <3sRichardSimmons guessed 3.
The only intersection of them is Shit.
If we assume shit is correct:
There is only one more in <3sRichardSimmons's list. Comparing his with oasis789's list, we get: wtf am I reading.
If we assume that racist is correct:
There is two missing in <3sRichardSimmons's list. Taking wtf am I reading as confirmed, we only have to find one more: It can't be retadred and shit. Giving us YES, Disagree and Edgy.
If we assume retadred is correct:
There is one missing in <3sRichardSimmons's list and one missing in profreshinal's list. Like above, it can't be racist nor shit. So if we take wtf am I reading as confirmed for <3sRichardSimmons and intersecting profreshinal's list with Brocken Jr.'s list, we get:
Acknowledge this user's agenda, disagree, shit, racist. Since racist and shit can't be right, disagree and Acknowledge are the possible candidates.
So, we have these candidates:
Brofist, Funny, Agree, Informative, Hopw Rower ne.
And based on them, we have:
a) shit and wtf am I reading.
b) racist, wtf am I reading and YES/Disagree/Edgy(I'd put my finger in Disagree here)
c) retadred, wtf am I reading, disagree and Acknowledge this user's agenda.
So yeah, take your chance. Or wait until more paws are sacrificed.
In profreshinal's post, DU said:
And as everyone can see, "Agree" is the only intersection of both lists.
In oasis789's post, DU said:
Intersecting oasis789's and Blaine's lists, we get Prestigious, which according to DU, is not on the list. Thus based on what DU said, we can assume that:
Brofist, Funny, Agree, Informative, Hopw roewur ne, Incline, Salute ,Despair and Wtf am i reading are all possible candidates. Since Brofist is a given, we can ignore him.

rate my post anything other than the three given ratings one more time motherfucker and I swear I will slaughter you
- Because we're all bros here, even the gurls.
- Because while we are not that funny we try really hard to meme as much as we can and we feel at home when you do too.
- Because you're an idiot, yes you are.
- Because this is our common cause, lamenting the decline.
- Because hopw roewur ne
- Because this forum is like a constant therapy session and the audience /therapist can only take that much before cringing.
- Because the truth hurts.
- Because that's another one of our Pavlovian reflexes when someone says that everything was better in the 80s.
- Because I'm a chad and you're a faggit ... yes, I'm also a grown up, thanks for asking.
- Because.
I'm pretty sure that agree and disagree are up there too but their picture link doesn't work and they are pretty

Lambchop19 as a benevolent person i will give you the game for the "nice" you gave me. You may choose between the three brightest gems know to codexians. Oblivion,Skyrim or Fallout 4.... with all DLCs of course.
Yes, that was me. Actually, I asked that all post ratings be removed, but agree/disagree in particular since they frequently cause people to skip over the part where they actually explain their garbage opinions.

I'm changing my vote:
edit:
- Brofist
- Funny
- Agree
- Fabulously Optimistic
- Informative
- Salute
- incline
- Acknowledge this user's Agenda
- hopw roewur ne
- Despair
edit:
If this doesn't match exactly, then consider my next guess to be to swap 6 and 7.
- Brofist
- Funny
- Agree
- Fabulously Optimistic
- Informative
- incline
- Salute
- Acknowledge this user's Agenda
- hopw roewur ne
- Despair
and if that doesn't work, consider me to have shifted them around until they were correct because I don't have time to constantly be checking and I'm almost certain that these are right, only the order is in question
the last three in particular are probably pretty close
the last three in particular are probably pretty close

These two have only 5 ratings in common, yet both have the majority of them correct?
Both agree on:
Brofist, Funny, Agree, Informative, Hopw Roewur Ne
They disagree on the other five.

They can each have a correct rating that the other does not have.
