    Well you just gotta differentiate with another edge (since your prior edge of grindability is becoming less relevant in an oceaan of masters)

    The script was definitely doing something. I found 10x as many once I started using pyro's ahk instead of the tampermonkey script.

    Not doing a do you feel lucky search. It worked for the first one I tried when I used

    numpad1::

    Send {Click 3}
    Sleep 100
    Send ^c
    Sleep 100
    StringReplace, clipboard, clipboard, Google:, ,All
    Sleep 400
    run http://www.google.com/search?q=%clipboard%&btnI=745
    return

    But not sure if that will always return the right result.

    Edit: Decided to try and get a sample size larger then 1 and yeah its not quite working still. Think this is basically the problem http://superuser.com/questions/695110/consistent-im-feeling-lucky-macro-for-google but having a problem trying to fix it.

    This is what happened with Crowd Task (as far as I can piece it together):

    There were two very large batches (tens of thousands of hits each) posted on a weekend day. The first batch was fine and lots of workers pounded them out. The second batch was broken (I'm assuming they were missng the company names - I took the forum's word that they were broken and didn't look at them). Unfortunately, the second batch was completed, as well, by people who either didn't know better or didn't give a crap whether they were ripping off the requester.

    Crowd Task was pissed off and rejected all the work done that day They claimed that the batches were broken, even though only the second batch was. So, plenty of responsible workers got caught up in the mess even though they didn't work on the broken batch at all.

    At the end of the day, CT did reverse all the rejections (at least from the first batch). There was plenty of balme to go around: CT Posted a huge batch with no QA check; irresponsible workers completed them anyway. CT had a (somewhat justified) temper tantrum and rejected tens of thousands of hits. It was a cluster fuck.

    Oh from that same link someone mentioned a quick fix using a tampermonkey script which would work I guess but would hope there is a cleaner way.

    We all know that. The issue is that they had a batch the other day, and apparently rejected someone from MTG who worked it.

    Wasn't that CT batch a different one? It was the .05 batch where you are checking the work of others (anyone know what I'm talking about?)

    Yeah sorry couldn't get it to work tried the script and that totally messed up unfortunately know nothing about tampermonkey scripting so not sure if I messed up something or if it simply isn't working right. Wish I could have helped more man.

    1,286 easy Sergey HITs have been sitting there all day, maybe longer.

    They're not going down because they're broken, not because they're not worth doing.

    Fix your [redacted], Google!

    OK last attempt at this probably but I think this works

    numpad1::

    Send {Click 3}
    Sleep 100
    Send ^c
    Sleep 100
    StringReplace, clipboard, clipboard, Google:, ,All
    Sleep 400
    clipboard = %clipboard% +email +phone
    sleep 400
    Run http://google.com/search?btnI=I`%27m+Feeling+Lucky&q=%clipboard%
    return

    May or may not need to remove the +email +phone part if you are not getting the I'm feeling lucky part.

    Edit: Oh also I probably won't be working on this hit so won't get to see how well this works so if anyone uses it can you tell me how well the I'm feeling lucky portion works first time I've ever used it in a script but could definitely see it being useful
