Easy solution to the problem of people complaining that the new system gives them too short of a peen, and yet keeping the same scale:

Start the base at 3” instead of 0”.

Quoting this.

Another option would be to add significant weight to the peens you get for completing Ep 1 and 2. Making each of those count for like 2.0” or 2.5” each. It would bloat the peenwhores, but would make a lot of sense across the board. The game is supposed to be the primary focus, everything else is supposed to be a lovely bonus. “Winning” the game should be the achievement with the highest value regardless of how common it happens to be.

Actually, that’s a pretty good idea. Maybe some peens should come with flezz too, especially those. Or some special currency for buying special items. or, or, [okay, ET can stab me now]

In fact, now that I think of it, you should get cred for getting peens. Not that much, depending, but still some. Might be an interesing way to allow players to pbum the current level cap too.

I was pretty surprised to see my peen lose 4 inches. Warning would have been nice, so would not doing it in the first place. You write about a 20 in peen like that’s a bad thing.

I will somehow find the courage to go on, but it feels a lil like Lucy and the football.

Sounds good. All the freely obtainable peens from gameplay and such should be the high value ones while the leaderboard and retired peens should be marginal enough to only impact the peen leaderboard.

But then people will lose motivation to try and get the peens.

One-time-only time limit peens- LONG!

should be short imo

because oldfabulous persons will have an unfair advantage

The difference is, the one-time peens don;t involve a rule change.

MAX CRED- available before rule change

76 in a row- availible to

ANYONE WHO ENTERED COSPLAY CENTRAL BEFORE IT WAS CHANGED FROM

LV 24 TO LV 35!!!!!!!! DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!

Worst gamblers- available before rule change

INCIT board- available before KLAN MEMES and SERIAL DUMPVOTING which was the case 6 months ago

The peens for oldfabulous persons, I respect, becuase they were around for it.

But straight up broken ****, I am not cool with,

Also completing ep 2 as Re-re should be worth a peen.

Excellent solution. Narratively, people who aren’t elite enough to be playing ForumWarz should start at 0”. People who are leet enough to be playing this game should start at some nonzero value.

3” tells you “you have a tiny, tiny peen; you have not accomplished anything” while 6” tells you “you’re moving up in the world, keep it up.”

I don’t know which algo ET employed but it doesn’t seem as effective as the log algo I suggested a while ago in another thread: http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view_post/33206

Each E-Peen™ has a different length though.

I’ve taken McB’s advice (plus changed the algorithm slightly.) People should be longer now.

Hooray, the system works! Thanks ET.
