What's the max charisma can a troll get?Using the book from Tall Jungle **** and the best set of .moar files currently known a troll could hit 68 charisma.
One of my trolls can currently hit 52 although I typically don’t bother changing equipment for rollover. (view post) |

Sup Tubsweetie. You got any experience with CRTs? Anyone else for that matter.Repairing CRT screens is no longer cost-effective. The handful of people that still know what they are doing will just charge you an arm and leg to repair this crap. And unless you have alot of electronic repair technician experience I’d strongly suggest against doing it yourself.
While most CRTs have bleeder resistors to make sure that the residual charge in the capacitors are drained quickly those can always fail and you could be tinkering around with a CRT that has relatively high residual voltage. (view post) |

Max damage?With an emo and the darkside .moar file (bumuming you have a decent set of other moar files) it should be possible to pwn geronimo again. Of course that would likely result in ET pushing the pwnage on the boss thread up even higher but at least you could say you’ve beaten geronimo. (view post) |

Vuron's Balance Suggestionsscullyangel Posted:
The idea of splitting the speedruns based upon clbum has alot going for it as you don’t want to make the clbumes to similar or it reduces the value of buying alts with BPs.
I think you either set it up where all the clbumes are pretty much similar (which require coding big defense bonuses onto the camwhores and emos) or you need to set it up where clbumes are going to be strong on a particular range of the forums. The problem currently is that trolls are strong on every forum currently available and they can reasonably dominate the speedrun times on all of the top end forums.
So you either need to slow down the trolls ability to pwn (either through increasing refresh time or by reducing damage capacity). If you are seeking to emulate a DPS clbum for a MMORPG you need to give the trolls rapid attacks with lower damage curves. If you are seeking to emulate a big dumb brute you need to give them powerful attacks that are slow to refresh.
Personally I liked the symmetry of giving camwhores and emos 1-2-1-2 attack runs and trolls and hackers 1-2-3-1-2-3 attack runs because the camwhores and emos should be able to hit fast but should do less damage on their big hits, while the trolls and hackers should be able to hit hard and stay in the game longer.

Hall of Faded Fame is dropping pink floyds like crazyShadyPixels Posted:
While defense does impact the hit percentage it’s more of a factor in terms of reducing damage. So with darkside on board you should be able to go with a leaner meaner build even on forums like cosplay. With the saved points you will be able to boost your offense even higher.
Further with darkside and a number of other good offense boosters it’s actually quite possible for the emokid to be able to pwn the boss thread in geronimo. That should make the emos that have darkside pretty popular with raiding klans as that becomes a forum that will hardly be rollovered. (view post) |

Vuron's Balance SuggestionsOk it’s pretty clear that we are having wild gyrations with game balance currently and many of the new changes (including the new forum) have thrown the balance completely out of wack yet again.
So here are some friendly suggestions from me about how to rectify the situation.
1)Decide what your design objectives are going to be. If the lvl 28+ forums are supposed to be hard don’t make a clbum that can reliably 2 hit your hardest forum while taking a much smaller amount of damage.
2)Before adding a new forum or adding new equipment test it with your balancebot in an offline environment in order to see if the new forum or equipment powers up one clbum more than the other clbum.
Keeping in mind these rules here are my clbum balance suggestions.
Give each clbum a game role to play.
Troll – currently the role seems to be hit hard and be able to absorb damage. Keep their damage totals the same but increase the refresh rate on their attacks and double the douchebaggery costs of their top three attacks. Results: Political Flamebate 350 Douchebaggery 16 Refresh 2 Shock Sites 220 Douchebaggery 16 Refresh 2 Post Personal Info 150-180 Douche 18 Refresh 2
This would force trolls to move to a 1-2-3-1-2-3 attack pattern (or even occasionally use Recipes). This should slow them down quite a bit but would still give them a noticeable edge on some of the harder hitting forums.
Camwhores Turn these guys into better healers. They should probably hit relatively hard but should mainly be able to clean house on the easy forums. On the hard forums their healing abilities would come into play.
Results: Fetish 225 Sexiness 15 Refresh 1 Hand Bra 200 Sexiness 13 Refresh 1
Healing Abilities- Instead of a fixed range amount make it a fixed range amount + some formula dependent on charisma. End result NSFW should be able to heal between 400-600 ego on a decently specced camwhore. This would enable them to stay in the fight against the new forums without needing to purchase consumables. In addition it would actually make charisma a somewhat valuable stat for camwhores.
Emos
Emos aren’t bad it’s just really really difficult to bring their special ability into play on most forums.
My suggestion would be to keep their actions as is but to allow them to come into the battle pre-damaged so to speak. That way if my emo had 500 ego normally I could set a % damaged as I go into the forum. I’d make it in 10% increments. That way if I was willing to risk a lot I could go in at 50/500. This would allow emos to pwn forums faster but at substantially more risk.
Hackers
The problem with hackers currently are that their attacks don’t do much damage and they are really really slow (which really punishes them in speedruns). However they can get truly astronomical stat values thus I would change their attacks to 2 damage and make avatar a decent end attack
Results: AVTR- 230-250 PP 10 Refresh 2 IPZ 170-190 PP 7 Refresh 2 FLIPR 120-140 PP 6 Refresh 2
This gives the hacker a 1-2-3-1-2-3 attack run which would be extremely useful but not overpowering.
Finally in order to give Recipes some value as a end game tool I would suggest raising it’s damage value to 400 Attack. (view post) |

Cosplay Central - How are we supposed to kill it?I overestimated the amount of Ego I’d need and went with OVER 9000!!!! ego. I was only able to 3-hit the forum instead of 2-hit which I bumume most trolls are able to do.
I look forward to seeing the trolls get nerfed now that defense actually is a useful stat though Log in to see images! (view post) |

I definitely concur with this, and to date I’ve been way too lazy to collect the data necessary to definitely determine if the luck stat reduces the likelihood of getting multiples (based on my spade hackers luck on collecting rare files I would tend to suggest not).
Regardless though this is definitely one of the easiest of the high value .moar files to get and as long as you are willing to waste a week or 2 doing geronimo I’d definitely recommend doing it in order to power up for endgame purposes. (view post) |

Domination-bumbumins for hire. Inquire within.If you want to make a klan that’s dedicated to blasting then more power to you. If the “exterminator” peen ever shows up it would even win you some rewards. I’m definitely willing to use my alts for artillery purposes if it helps out someone I like or harms someone that I dislike. I just doubt that anyone is willing to pay BPs for “bumistance” when those BPs can be spent to create your very own alt artillery. (view post) |

ok look...6 scoops for bumholes isnt enoughInertia Posted:
Meh, they would just force players in the lower brackets to actually you know card down occasionally and arm shields rather than get their medals because they just finished a pistachio streak that week and played a couple of switcheroos.
It possibly increases the power of the last minute pistachio run on wednesday but that’s already the favored strategy for solo players because it means you can medal at the last minute without having to expose your scoops to sniping. However players need to learn how to do that if they are ever going to move out of the get 3-4 medals each season group. (view post) |

Domination-bumbumins for hire. Inquire within.Honestly malaise is 100% correct, in order for a klan of “bumbumins” to be useful they need to be competitive enough to be in the upper brackets and be able to get enough scoops to actually swing the result in a favorable manner. I can’t see anyone paying BPs to influence a single week in a low level pod.
Finally anyone willing to waste BPs to stab people in the back will just pay the BPs for making a new alt so they can do it themselves week in and week out. (view post) |

ok look...6 scoops for bumholes isnt enoughI’ve already brought up this topic once but basically I’m in favor of 10 scoops usable at will. With the dramatic increase in pistachio in all brackets and the ever present problem of klan vanilla in the upper bracket using bumholes can be like ****ing in the wind.
With 10 scoop bumholes you can just decide to play the roll of spoiler and actually feel like you are contributing something to the round.
Finally it used to be fun to completely zero out a large bracket and it’s just not that easy to do that anymore Log in to see images! (view post) |

Domination Enhancements ThreadMy point was that the new changes might empower large somewhat organized klans (the former would certain qualify the behemoths like 7VD or ED – the second doesn’t). However we aren’t sure of that at the current time.
However we can be fairly certain that it would prevent klan vanilla from completely overwhelming the top bracket (which nobody can deny currently happens). Further if implemented correctly this would also solve the problem of having solo players with 4+ alts in the same bracket using team tactics to ensure that one of the alts gets medals (obviously also happening currently).
So with one relatively simple coding job (cheaters already don’t count in terms of forums pwned so ET should be able to reuse some of the code- a good thing) you can knock out 2 of the biggest complaints with the current implementation of domination.
Further Bingebot has indicated multiple times that domination is a work in progress and that he favors incremental improvements rather than wholesale rewriting the code. Thus it can be logically inferred that if this proposed fix breaks certain things, other fixes can be used to patch, etc.
The ultimate goal shouldn’t really be about pleasing the people at the top of the medal leaderboards but should instead be focused on improving the gameplay for new players. Considering that with the level cap in place most people can easily make lvl 35 providing a fun and enjoyable endgame experience for the entire community rather than a rather small subsection should be the priority.

Domination Enhancements Threadplk Posted:
So the jist of what I’m reading in your comment is while it’s fine for people to abuse the current system in an attempt to lock up medals, you are opposed to a system that might enable members of another currently larger klan to dominate based on sheer numbers?
I bumume that you feel that you would be unwelcome in this klan and would likely get targeted relentlessly thereby blocking you from medalling except in the early part of a season?
My response to this is that any system that rewards cooperative play is going to provide an edge to the most organized group. In the past that has been SoQTR and then KoLOL followed by Good Omens/E2B/BoD. Each of those klans were clearly able to dominate the playing field during the height of their power. That isn’t to say that unaffiliated players haven’t been successful in coming up with coping strategies.
By limiting alts there will be a drastic reduction in the amount of klan vanilla in play. That will immediately make the top bracket competitive (currently it’s by no means competitive). Further limiting alts will prevent players like meeeee, amasius, malaise, scully, etc from alt stacking in order to dominate the lower brackets. Simply put plutonium donations won’t buy you automatic medals anymore. I don’t see that as a bad thing.
Finally the limits on ties are a good practical limit on the effective size of klans. Either you need to be willing to maybe get a medal every 3-4 weeks or a big klan with lots of competive players is going to be a limiting factor. So realistically the oversized version of brainfreeze that exists now would likely shed a huge number of alts as some people would continue to raid, some people would focus on solo domination, and some people might just keep an alt or 2 in there for a sense of community.

Domination Enhancements ThreadAlt changes are definitely the most useful fix bumuming that a) they are ghosted for that week (just like cheaters they don’t count for or against the klan totals) and b) they can still collect individual peens for streaks and what not.
Limiting the number of alts that anyone player can bring to the party should go a long way to limiting the number of klan vanilla scoops gained and would also help solve the perpetual problem with alt stacking. This would encourage klans to expand membership in order to increase potential klan raiding gains making domination a more inclusive rather than exclusive game. (view post) |

Avatar size changeUnless you are needing to resize an animated gif it’s really not that hard for someone to resize an image with any number of OS or freeware tools. Resizing an animated gif can be a bit of a pain simply because you run up against the maximum image size soooo easily. (view post) |
