A very SERIOUS discussion about Antifreeze Scoops. Seriously.SG94 Posted:
What we’re trying to avoid is making it “mandatory” for people to gamble in order to compete in Domination. As it stands, the more you gamble, the more of a benefit for Domination (and your wallet) it becomes. Changing the payout will reduce the amount of Flezz you win (and in the long run will reduce your ability to keep gambling). But it doesn’t really fix the problem.
Putting a limit on the number of scoops you can get makes it much more attainable for any user to log in and get them daily, if they so choose. We have limits on some of the other scoops too (as was previously mentioned, Lemon, Pistachio) so it’s not like this is a new concept.
In general for the future we’d like better and more ways for users to get scoops, but not at a cost of sitting at your computer day in and day out. We want to avoid a situation where if you’re devoted enough to stay up all night and do an action (in this case gambling) that it gives you such an advantage over other players that no one else wants to participate (which is the current issue).
If the solution we’re proposing doesn’t address the issue, and worse, causes an issue, we can look to adjust again. This fix is quick and easy to do and should stop the current abuse and level the playing field for people to get involved again.

A very SERIOUS discussion about Antifreeze Scoops. Seriously.Hey all,
We have reviewed all of the various suggestions, and in the sake of time and ease to implement we are proposing the following solutions to the Antifreeze Scoops issue.
1) Limit Gamble-Bot 3000 to only give out up to 5 Antifreeze scoops per user per day. 2) Allow Gamble-Bot 3000 to give out Antifreeze scoops for Guess My Number & Paper, Rock, Scissors as well.
That’s it for now. Quick, dirty and solves the problem. We hope.
Discuss. We’re looking to implement this by the start of the next Domination round.

We canceled cause I went to see Carts of Darkness at Hotdocs in Toronto. Totally worth it, homeless guys racing in shopping carts down the hills of North Vancouver.
JB and I are discussing the finalists now. I will most likely post the results tomorrow. Patience. (view post) |

Yeah I’ve thought about that.. it’s not a bad idea.. bumhole card on the Min Scoops leader would almost be too powerful though.. (view post) |

New Domination Card Suggestionsevilhamster Posted:
Yes, which is why we won’t be doing a lot of the suggestions on the first page. The suggestions on the previous page are a more defined list. I put them up here for discussion to see how they go over and what issues might exist that I might not have thought about. Also, to see if they spark any other “balanced” card ideas. (view post) |

New Domination Card SuggestionsMySpace Tom Posted:
Good point. Although.. is it such a bad thing to have people in last in the standings with a ton of cards? Currently the leader in my bracket has something stupid like 50+ cards. Balance of power isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But yes, valid point. (view post) |

New Domination Card Suggestionsscullyangel Posted: Maybe the user could choose a desired card to discard from the target user. If they have one it’s discarded, if they don’t, do nothing. Again, these aren’t written in stone yet. If we go with this perhaps Peek-a-boo-boo needs to actually steal the target users card instead of just destroy.
scullyangel Posted: Agreed, we could always make the cost more. So costs you 4 scoops, but transfer 2 or even 1. Again this wouldn’t solve the problem, just make it harder to make it useful. There’s no reason that non-klanners couldn’t ban together to take out klannies too Log in to see images!
scullyangel Posted: Agreed! And with Chameleon you could really start some Klan wars.. or blame someone else for starting them Log in to see images!
scullyangel Posted: No, you’d have to have the scoops to support it.
scullyangel Posted: See my reply to the last post. With great power comes great responsibility. You can only use the card when you have less then 4, so the most you can get is 13.. it’s more like a headstart, but it also makes you a target Log in to see images!
scullyangel Posted: True, and that’s why Uber cards would probably cost double or something..
scullyangel Posted: True, may have to reconsider this one. (view post) |

New Domination Card SuggestionsThis thread’s been going for a while so we thought that we’d post our tentative list. This is by no means final, just a ROUGH list of cards (and direction) that we’re seriously considering when we have the time. Please feel free to comment, use the direction we’re going and add to it. Keep in mind balance, very important.
Regular Cards (cost may be adjusted)
– Pick your poison: The type of the next X scoops that would be stolen/destroyed is chosen (Ex: The next 5 scoops stolen/destroyed will be Vanilla – bumuming I have 5 vanilla) – Card Shark: Discard someone’s card at random (can’t steal someone’s last card) – Every kid loves ice cream: Give X scoops to another player (Ex: Give 5 chosen scoops to some user) – Joker: Give X user a card of your choosing – male reproductive organshot: Nullifies the next card X user tries to use (doesn’t have to be directed at you) – Crouching Coward: The next offensive card that you play on a player will appear anonymous – Dy-no-mite!: Removes X scoops from chosen opponent, removes X – Y scoops from you (Ex: Remove 5 scoops from someone, lose 2 yourself) – Slipstream: If you have less than 4 scoops get 10 random scoops
Uber Cards (cost to be defined)
– Erection: Takes X scoops of your choosing and puts them all into one scoop type (Ex: 5 chosen scoops all become Chocolate Scoops) – Demolition: Redistribute X scoops of one type and then get evenly distributed (Ex: 5 Chocolate scoops become 1 of each other colour) – Pbum the Buck: Protects you from the next card, hits the user ahead (or behind) in the standings – of whatever medal group your choose (Ex: The next card will hit the player AHEAD of me in the MIN SCOOPS race – you’d choose the variables) – Spread the love: When you have less than 4 scoops, remove X random scoops from each of the top 3 players (Similar to bumhole, but spreads the love) – Peek-a-boo-boo: Look at your opponent’s hand, force a card to be discard (of your choosing perhaps) – Chameleon: The next offensive domination card will appear to come from the user of your choosing – Mirror Mirror: Sends the next attack back at the source – Dirty Bomb: After this card is used, the next card you use effects target player (in any bracket in all domination groups)
Thoughts/comments appreciated. (view post) |

New Domination Card Suggestions****hole Posted:
Ok fine. So MAYBE it has SOMETHING to do with gaining scoops. But really, enhancements to sTalk are meant for General Game Discussion. Now let’s resume discussion of cards..
I have an ongoing suggestion box of Cards, I MAY post the list that we have to see what sort of response it generates, I’ll discuss in tonights meeting and see where things net out. (view post) |

Not only does this have nothing to do with Cards, but it also has nothing to do with Domination, well done. (view post) |
