Can bids confiscated due to suspicions of auction abuse be appealed?I did bid high on this .moar file auction, but I did so to ensure I would win, not to artificially drive the price up or transfer Log in to see images!.
However, when I finally managed to log on today, I received a TM saying that the auction was closed due to abuse and my bid was confiscated. Can I at least ask why there were these suspicions, and if there is any possibility that the funds, or even a portion of them, can be returned?
For a .moar with a good spread of +5 boosts and a nifty 105+ PP, I did think 1 mil Log in to see images! (view post) |

Forumwarz IdolLog in to see images! Brought to you by the illustrious, and occasionally slightly inebriated: Log in to see images!
GGM, spearheading the search for vocal talent and online charisma (no, not the in-game stat) within the Forumwarz community, asks of all Flamebate denizens and basement-dwellers alike:
Will you take up the opportunity and go for the chance to be THE FORUMWARZ IDOL?
And unlike those many “FRIEND ME” or “1354th POST WINS” threads you see scattered about, the winnings are nothing to sneeze at, either. That’s right, 10 BP AND the prestige of being the Forumwarz Idol. You have nothing to lose but your vocal anonymity!
If you’re impatient or one of those tl;dr posters:
While the rest of you may ask: “Wait, wait, what am I signing up for?”. You need not worry about slinking off empty-handed, that’s for sure. Here’s how the elimination process will work: (view post) |

“Wait, wait, what am I signing up for?” you ask. You need not worry about slinking off empty-handed, that’s for sure. Here’s how the elimination process will work:
Log in to see images! Every contestant will record themselves singing one song of their choice. Whether they opt for the karaoke with or without vocals (easy or hard) is up to them, but the recording must be posted in this thread one week after the actual contest starts.
Log in to see images! All entries received before and on the day of the deadline will be showcased in a separate thread with a poll attached, and the citizenry of Flamebate given 3 days to vote.
Log in to see images! (rounded up to the nearest integer) will be eliminated. A lucky voter chosen at random will get 1 BP.
Log in to see images! Thirteen songs from the karaoke playlist (chosen by a random number generator) will be presented to the contestants and each one must pick two from the list to sing and record.
Log in to see images! All entries received before and on the day of another pre-determined deadline will be showcased in two voting threads (each one with one song from each person remaining) and subject to public vote again.
Log in to see images! Of the remaining contestants, only the top 5 voted (according to the two polls combined) will not be eliminated. Another randomly drawn voter from each thread receive 1 BP each.
Log in to see images! This time, the contestants will be given a week and a half to prepare 3 songs selected thusly: ø One decided for each person by popular vote. ø Another decided by selection among the other contestants. ø And the final one is their choice, but must be done sans vocals.
Log in to see images! All entries received before and on the day of the deadline will be placed in three threads with a poll attached to each, and grouped according to how the song was bumigned (by vote, choice, etc.) and put to public vote one final time to decide who will be the one who can claim the title and 10 BP.
Log in to see images! The top voted (great timesulatively when all 3 poll votes are tallied) will be declared the Forumwarz Idol, and the 4 finalists receive 2 BP each. Of course, one random voter from each thread will also receive 1 BP. A final person, drawn randonly from those eliminated in the first 2 rounds of judging will win 1 BP.
REGISTRATION AND STIPULATION PROCEDURES ø You must state your intention to compete in this thread and a link to your karaoke profile (see below) ø Have a reliable means of recording yourself singing (i.e. microphone or audio pick-up device of some kind). ø Create an account on karaokeparty.com, as songs will be picked from there, and scores recorded on there possible used as tiebreakers. ø Have some reliable computer access, because delays just really suck for everyone involved.
LEGALITIES AND OTHER MISCELLANEA ø All final decisions will be made by the fair vote of, and only of, the denizens of Flamebate unless extenuating cirgreat timesstances call for otherwise. ø Contestants must sing a unique song for every round. No one-trick ponies, please. ø GGM clan members are welcome to compete, but for the integrity of the contest, will be barred from voting and subject to penalty decided by fellow klansmen if they attempt otherwise. ø This also implies that contestants themselves are similarly barred from voting. ø You are welcome to run ads for a candidate you like, but that’s it. ø Otherwise, any suspicion or sign of voting shenanigans will be turned over to a moderator for scrutiny, and will most likely end in a new vote being set up.

Help me with Scoops, get thanks and up to 105 BP .Endash Posted: |

Help me with Scoops, get thanks and up to 105 BP .Something out there for those inadvertent little acts of kindness present among the FW community. For instance, take Solo Vanilla-ing. When than random player comes along and finally makes a gap in your 4 forum streak when you’ve been waiting impatiently or several seconds, and on worse days, a few minutes (gasp!), so you can swoop in and double your Scoops.
It’s a win-win situation, they pwn a forum, you get scoops. Personally, I find it odd that that guy never gets thanked for his part in it, I mean, he did just virtually hand you 8 more Vanillas and used up a visit of his, didn’t he? Log in to see images!
So, to change that, I’m going to show them a little appreciation in the form of various prizes sure to catch even the most discerning player’s fancy.
The rules are so simple, even a Re-Re would find them laughably easy.
Log in to see images! Log in to see images! Log in to see images!
PRIZE CONVERSION TABLE (1 forum pwned that meets the above criteria = 1 entry) 1 entry = a warm and fuzzy TM and a good start 2 entries = one BP 3 entries = progress towards better winnings 4 entries = two BP
Or, if you really want to hold out for something even better…
8 entries, the equivalent of the Vanilla Scoops made possible by a visit = 7 BP to spend as you wish.
That’s all there is to it.
FINE PRINT Poster cannot be held responsible for lost or missing TM's sent due to cirgreat timesstances out of their control. When converting prizes, only one reward can be given out at a time, equivalent to the highest number of entries traded. That is, if you trade in 4 entries, you are only entitled to 2 BP, not 3 BP. I will make sure to send a TM with the BP and try to get them to you within 5-7 days at most.
For now, the contest is indefinite. Have fun. Log in to see images! (view post) |

I am worried about the upcoming auction houseFeel free to tear me a new one if this has been brought up before, but will illegally enhanced characters be able to sell their wares indiscriminately (to both uncheated and fellow enhanced players)? I mean, there is a warning that cheats make you ineligible for competitive aspects, but does this count financial competition?
Because theoretically: – Someone could just farm the coveted flavor of the day by buying a bunch of visits and grinding away. – In reverse, someone could raid a rare item in the Ppwn Shoppe the day it appears by buying a bunch of Log in to see images! the day of, and then undercut the price uncheated sellers put up for the same rare item they list. – An enhanced character could indiscriminately start buying up everything in sight for the lulz, and possibly drive up the prices for normal buyers.
And so on and so forth. Searched Flamebate, wiki, and blog and came up with nil, so can I has clarification? Log in to see images! (view post) |

Help me decide on a good breakfast, earn a BP!As a returning college student, I personally endorse these for a quick, satisfying breakfast or snack. Be careful who you bake these around, though, they leave a tantalizing aroma in whatever space you happen to be baking in.
I defy anyone else to post a simpler scone recipe.
Cream Scones 2 cups flour 1/3 cup sugar 1 TBSP baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream OPTIONAL 1 TBSP lemon zest 1/2 cup chopped dried fruit
Instructions Combine all dry ingredients. Add cream (and zest and/or fruit, if using) and mix with a fork. When a moist, biscuit-like dough comes together, flip out onto ungreased cookie sheet. Press into a 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick circle. Cut into 8 wedges and pull triangles slightly outward to allow space for baking expansion. Sprinkle any excess sugar on top and gently press into tops of scones. Bake at 350F for 15 minutes, give or take five, until edges are golden brown. (view post) |

Your In-Game BloopersEven though most of us soon shed our Re-Re ways, sometimes we end up coming up with ways to remind ourselves of our most humble origins.
For instance, I thought I could just skimp on consumables, compensate with new gear, save 20k Log in to see images! and just spend a visit to level up for the day. So this foolish Level 24 Hacker ground through a good part of Wal-Martyr and came upon this screen:

Everyone’s had an off-day here and there in FW, I’m sure. Supply screenshots, if possible, and toss out some tales about when you’ve unintentionally pulled something facepalm-worthy in-game, and didn’t see the consequences until it was much, much, too late.Log in to see images! (view post) |

I am worried about the upcoming auction houseEvil Trout Posted:
Rad. Log in to see images!
So…can you give us an estimated date of launch, or should we just consult the wiki article on Valve time? Log in to see images!
Being a bit of a fool, a collector, and having a stubborn streak of e-philanthropy, this auction house is relevant to my interests, as I’d like the opportunity to give the newbs a helping hand with the low to medium tier .moar files I end up collecting on the side. Usually end up selling them for peanuts at the Ppwn Shoppe, and I’ll probably make more doing that, but I figure why not spread the love?

Haha, well, no one can say you don’t have a good point. Opening the in-game economy in any RPG is bound to have several bumps and pitfalls, as well as posing an advanced degree of skill to successfully implement it, which is why FW probably only has BP transfer now.
As for the inevitable ennui…well, as long as there are people with sufficient time (lack of life?) and motivation, someone will always reach that elusive god-like point. I guess it can be considered a side effect of all that virtual power. Log in to see images! (view post) |
