The current system encourages players who want as much cred and flezz as possible to pwn the same forum over and over, for example PrayPal. This is not fun to do. You aren’t enjoying the content of the PrayPal forum the eleventh time you’re pwning it in a row, it’s only a chore. I think the system should be modified to encourage players to pwn different forums during their day.

So here’s a suggestion: Diminishing returns. The game checks how many times you’ve pwned a forum today, and decreases cred and flezz gain accordingly. For example, you might get 10% less cred if you’ve already pwned this forum once today, 20% less after two, and so on, to a maximum of 50% less.

What are your opinions about such a mechanism? Discuss.

Would be fun for one day, then I’d have figured out how to max it and do my daily chore again.

That and it would also punish speedruns.

Eh, it wouldn’t punish speedruns if you did them in moderation. If you speedrun four different forums there is no penalty.

And SG94, would it be so easy to figure out, though? At the very least, if you discover that the optimal play is to pwn one forum two times, then another forum once, then the last forum once, for example, that’s certainly a lot more interesting than just pwning one forum, and the optimal play is more liable to change as more forums are introduced.
