Periods last about 5 days, but how long does a comma last?
Hmmmmm…
(If they really ARE bigger, I think I’ll stick with the monthly periods, thank you.) (view post) |

Shouldn’t this be in the Whiner’s Forum? There IS one, you know…

Episode 2: Would you Pay?I don’t mind paying to play (Hell! I paid to play this ‘beta’ round for crying out loud!) But I think it is very important that there be some level where it is not a requirement.
The secret seems to lie in offering JUST enough advantage in paying, without making it a requirement or even a necessity to remaining competitive. IOW, you can sap the fun out of it either way and when that happens, you’re done.
This is only the 3rd RPG I’ve participated in and it is by far the bestest. I won’t mention names (unless you beg me) but one was a ‘cookie-cutter’ game with next to nothing in the way of new code and fraught with uncorrectable bugs. The other was coded from the ground up but the owners were criminals. (They were playing the game under multiple alts and essentially goading other players into spending because ‘Well, THEY are…’ (I wound up being banned because I called them out on it. From time to time I check back to see how they are doing and, suffice it to say, they are NOT. ‘Nuff said.)
I only bring this up because of the 3 games this one really is clever. I don’t want to see you guys make any of the same mistakes.
(Oh, and I’m really only here as part of the research for my OWN game, haha! No, seriously, I am! You guys set the bar pretty G-D high too!) (view post) |

Where do I go from here?PIMPTASTIC-FROTH Posted:
Thanks for the link. That’s the one I read.
And reading between the lines it would seem you are correct that the best choice is to create a new character and re-play R-1, but with the benefit of experience. Then see how strong I can get that character and continue competitively.
Or I could just wait and cheat all over again! (view post) |

Thanks.
Nothing like a definitive answer like ‘it should…’ or ‘hopefully…’ (Not that I really expected anything else from a sociopathic fish, mind you! Maybe E-T should be running for President. (Worse yet! Maybe he already IS…Log in to see images!)

Where do I go from here?Well, I cheated!
Hey! Don’t like be all up in my stuff for that! It was easy to do. I just spent some GreenSpans and got some flezz (and the ability to kill a thread instantly, virtually unlimited forum visits, etc.)
And so, I won Round 1. (Which IS a good thing considering I paid REAL money to cheat while playing a stupid RPG… It would be really pathetic if I hadn’t!)
But I’m wondering something.
I know I can continue to gain flezz and cred, but WHY? Will it carry over into Round 2? I can’t ‘level up’ any more and I’m pretty much invincible, having my trusty can of tuna-safe dolphin at the ready. So if the cred & flezz doesn’t carry over there’s pretty much nothing left for me to do but consume bandwidth and avoid doing things in IRL that are quite probably more important.
Sorry if this has been asked before. If so, maybe it should go in the FAQ. (I’d put it there myself but I doesn’t know the answer).

Delayed Brownie BenefitsI’ve tun into the same problem with dolphins. Bought them twice but can’t see them.
I’ll get with you on the other end re: this, but wanted to make it a known issue. (view post) |

Delayed Brownie Benefitskewl. It changed in the middle (cut my visits in half) but I wuzn’t skeered. I knew you was on my case.
‘Support Forumz?’ Maybe I’ll find ‘em sooner or later…
One more thing, while I’m here: The ‘refresh’ window that pops up when the game stalls should be center-screen and a LOT bigger because the browser bumon for refresh says it’s taking you off-site (suggesting that you WILL lose a visit) Your popup though DOES work, it’s just hard to notice down in the lower-right corner.
thanks again!

Delayed Brownie BenefitsLogging into a forum works, but this did not show from the ‘character’ page. I now have DOUBLE visits (138).
So, it’s not a matter that I could not log into a forum, it’s that the timer didn’t go away.
If you went off on some wild goose-chase, I hope you caught one. This info should help steer you toward the correct cause though.
You may now resume your previously scheduled time-wasting.

This will seem like a really stupid compliant, but...‘General Role Playing’ as a sub-forum is just ghey. Everyone KNOWS it’s spelled ‘roll’, not ‘role’!
If you really want to get the ‘serious role players’ in there you need to spell it right!

Delayed Brownie BenefitsI guess the first purchase didn’t take. I bought it again and now it says I have 8 left, which seems about right.
Still it would be nice to compare what we have to what we can buy, like it is in the stores and in the upgrades.
That is all. (view post) |

do u like ribbed condoms?Jim Morrison told us all to ‘ride the snake, into the lake’.
Snakes don’t wear condoms.
But they do have ribs.
Fat girlz from the West Side eat ribs.
In the company of fat girlz from the West Side one might oughta make the snake wear a condom.

Delayed Brownie BenefitsI thought I bought both.
The accounting of remaining BPs doesn’t show as easily as one’s flezz does (and I’m old, drunk and blind (which is why I opened my wallet so easily…Log in to see images!, so maybe I’m just not seeing it.
Brings to mid another question: is flezz shared across identities (characters)? I got this $100k lotto but can that be used by another character if I bought the ‘new character’ with BPs? I mean. I can buy a nex character and I can buy a new lotto, but which where when and how does it go?
(Please know that I’m writing in this style in order to keep in the game’s motif, while still having a genuine concern. So the real question is: is flezz by account or by character?)

Delayed Brownie BenefitsI bought BP.s No big thing.
Then I spent some. Also no big thing.
But I got the Lottery Winner Benefits immediately and the game-timer didn’t reset to give me my 67 forum visits. I was expecting that it would, and it sucks for I wanted to play NOW, not tomorrow morning (when the servers are more likely to crash…Log in to see images!
All in all you guys have a great game here and I don’t regret spending money to play it but this still managed to jerk my chain a bit. Now, either FIX it or I’m going to deploy a text virus on this forum! (view post) |
