would be more handy if the pistachio thing comes before the forum name instead of after. way neater.

That’s the beauty of user-side scripting – if you don’t like it, change it. Personally, I liked it better with a strikethrough (I turn off graphics some times, when speedrunning), so I changed the code for that.

This sounds very good, can you share the code?

I never questioned the reason for using the script, I can understand how it is helpful I don’t see how anyone could use the word “vital” and the phrase “pretty much integral to Domination.”

So, your argument is based upon the choice of a single word in a particular context? It definitely sounds like you’re nitpicking.

And if a significant number of serious Dom Players use the script to bumist them, then choosing not to use it is a disadvantage. That could easily make it a ‘vital’ part of any competitive Dom strategy.

It’s your personal choice on whether or not to use this ‘piece of tech’ to bumist you. Baroness was simply giving a friendly heads-up to all the other players that use the script.

I really do talk ****!

I think the criticism of “vital” comes from the fact that one can simply pwn in order and not need to look at anything. One can check the done list. One can take a minute before starting visits and make note of which 12 forums they are doing next on *gasp* a piece of paper. The end results are the same.

When it is implied that something is delivering an overwhelming advantage (this is not) the importance could be mistaken. There is no pressing reason this should be bumped up the “to do” list and given higher priority. That would be foolish as there are far more pressing things for ET to do.

The implication that those without the script or using a different browser are at a major disadvantage is where the “this is not vital” or however it was worded comes from. It most certainly is not vital. I think I’ve done just fine without it.

It’s easy enough – just replace the lines

var tmp = marker.cloneNode(true);
forums[forum].appendChild(tmp);

with the line

forums[forum].setAttribute("style","text-decoration: line-through;");

Also, for even more visibility, you can use “background-color: red;” instead/also to put all the forums you’ve already run in a nice red box. Played around with both option for a while.

No doubt. It’s just a handy way to keep track and avoid the 2 forums that appear twice. Imagine how much less we’d explain that to new players if it just showed them as already streaked in the forum/community forum and vanilla helper screens.

This. It’s not a necessity by a long shot, but it is a convenience. It just takes a necessary, boring, and ultimately mindless task, and automates it, to save the user time and energy. No one “needs” it, but a lot of people (myself included) appreciate it.

I guess I am just in the minority of those that don’t require handholding.

Your definition of handholding is apparently far different from mine.

Really, instead of using the vanilla helper, you could click the “expand details” links on the 4 forums/community forums you’re currently holding, but…why would you, when there’s an easily available tool that makes it far easier to gather the information you’re after?

The only difference here is one’s in-game, and the other’s a GM script.

I just played around with this script a little. If you want the icon before the forum name, change

forums[forum].appendChild(tmp);

to

forums[forum].parentNode.insertBefore(tmp, forums[forum]);

Personally, I like it the other way.

Any clue why the new forum doesn’t work with the script as written?

oh. the new forum is on the community forums page as

Text-Based Warriors' Guild  
(spaces after)and on the streak page without. They are identical in the source code, though. Weirdness. Can I just beg ET to drop the trailing spaces from the forum name?

That’s what I was looking for. I’m not sure why it’s breaking, but I know there was a similar issue when this script was first released with Dr. Jojo’s. It might’ve been due to the apostrophe, I’m not sure.

I’ll poke Neona when I see her online.

I believe you are arguing against defining the script as ‘vital’. I think the ‘necessity’ of the script is directly proportional to the level of Domination competition involved. If all of your competitors are using it and benefiting from the advantage it brings, then it can easily be considered ‘vital’.

In other words, it situational. I don’t compete heavily in Domination anymore, so it’s a ‘nice-to-have’ not a ‘have-to-have’.
