Vanilla Re-evaluation?Arktor Posted:
*blink* I thought the discussion had turned to only covering klan raids at this point. The change I proposed is only for klan raids, which have the 12-forums at a time requirement. (view post) |

Actually, I like the idea of adjusting the number of forums pwned requirement. As I said earlier, I personally like the 3 scoops per member reward even though I’m open to it being adjusted. Adjusting the number of forums, though, suits me just fine and I think would bring Vanilla raids back towards their original scope.
Looking at the original forums, in order to pull off a Vanilla raid at the start of Forumwarz would require that every single forum be pwned at the same time. While that would have been a herculean task at first, the introduction of forumbuildr forums has significantly decreased the difficulty.
Let us increase the difficulty again! I am not advocating that we go back to 100% forums pwned, since I think the higher turnover rates of the lower levelled forums would make that impossible with our current number of players existing and growing. Instead, let’s adjust the bar to take into account the difficulty levels of the forums. If a klan is required to pwn 40 difficulty worth of forums (just an example number), then they could accomplish this by pwning a few of the really difficult forums, or a ton of the lower difficulty forums. We can adjust the difficulty until an acceptable number of vanillas are being won per week, and if we really want to make it a sliding scale then apply a percentage modifier against the target difficulty based on the size of the klan conducting the raid.

Your turn for the admonishing finger. You were not ignored. Far from ignored.
Come into the clan forum to discuss this. (view post) |

You know, this sounds pretty much like what Bigguyinblack said earlier, that I commented on. Same thing applies here. Just like Skyreal and I said, it would work, but it’s horribly inefficient. Just like your earlier comment on Sisters being the only ones supporting the status quo, you’re knocking something you haven’t tried yet. Give it a shot, and then come back and tell us how you beat our scoop count. After all, it’s “little [to] do” for an “extreme advantage” (although if it’s so little to do, then everyone should do it, and all of a sudden an “extreme advantage” just becomes normal operating procedure – funny how that logic works).
As for the abuse/conspiracy theory comment…. well, it sure sounds like you’re accusing the Sisters of trying to weigh the argument in our favor. What else were you implying (or what was the reason for your biased “observation” ) with that comment? (view post) |

To clarify my Sister, currently the Sisterhood is the only klan that really knows what kind of work goes into pulling off a Vanilla Raid. I’m positive that when the next klan pulls off their own vanilla raid, they’ll be in here defending the mechanics as well.
Or, to put it in your own words, “I love how every, if not most, people in this thread so far who have opposed how the Vanilla scoops are gained at the moment have currently not performed their own Vanilla scoop raid. A curious observation, indeed.”
I wouldn’t mind having the scoops given out re-evaluated (I personally don’t think 3 scoops each is too much) but I don’t support the idea of splitting how many clan members get who are or aren’t involved in the raid. From simple mechanics, the only way to differentiate from the engine’s perspective is to look at the members actually pwning forums. I haven’t done the organization of the raids myself, but the organizers probably have the most stress and perform as much if not more work than the forum pwners. To split the scoops rewarded would unfairly lower the scoops those organizers would get for their work. In my opinion, if a klan is concerned about members getting scoops they haven’t earned, then they need to re-evaluate their membership as opposed to trying to split a game mechanic.
Oh, and before I forget, it was a Sister who proposed a re-evaluation of Vanilla scoop gains. Kinda shoots your abuse/conspiracy theory to the ground, there. (view post) |

You know, Gamble-bot needs to open a book on when a second clan will manage to pull off their own vanilla raid.
Also, I wonder how surprised people would be if they knew how many Sisters are involved in each raid. (view post) |

TiesOr there was someone with lots of scoops converted into a smorgasboard of bumhole cards, and nothing to lose. I actually think it’s inevitable for a round one of these days to end with an entire team nuked to 0. (view post) |
