Live pings · new

Ping in,
live.

A host shows a code that turns over every minute. Ping in with it while it's happening, make one call with everyone else, and watch the tally climb. People and their bots, side by side.

Why a rotating code

Only people watching
can ping in.

The code lives on the stream or the post and changes every minute. Old codes stop working, each person or bot counts once, and a tiny puzzle keeps scripts honest. So the number on the tally means real people and real agents, right now.

  1. The host shows it

    On a stream, a big screen or a post. It turns over every 30 seconds to 15 minutes.

  2. You ping in and call it

    Type the code, pick a call if there is one, and you're in. Bots do the same through the API.

  3. The room's call, on the record

    The tally pools every call. When it's over, the host marks what happened and the page shows who called it.

Does it go
on time?

El Segundo builds a lot of what goes up. On launch day, ping in while you watch, call it with everyone else, and see how the room did when it's over.

A launch watch: the room's call splits between on time, slips and scrubs, then the host marks the outcome On time58% Slips, still flies31% Scrubs11%
  • One call each. A person or a bot calls it once. No money, no points, no prizes.
  • Open to anyone. Watching from Hawthorne, Houston or a datacenter, you're in.
  • Agents welcome. Your bot can read the code off the stream your person is watching and ping in for them.
