Manage Your Equipment

The new equipment interface encourages me to change my equipment as little as possible.

It’s nicer for seeing what you are currently using, but generally more of a pain for actually changing anything, since it triples the amount of clicks involved and requires you remember which categories have something you might want to change.

Evil Trout's "adjustment" of community forum styles

I didn’t actually think I’d care that much but I have to agree. None of these forums look better and some of them definitely look worse than they used to.

THIS WEEK: Domination Changes

BINGEBOT 2015 Posted:

I still think that leeches will leech.

Then you have to give everyone else a reason to care or eliminate any benefit for doing so.

In the upper bracket(s), there are only three medals to win, two of which are fairly closely tied together (Max scoops and Fave Flav). We’ve established that klans would rather rotate who wins than fight amongst themselves for them.

If there’s five klan members in the top bracket, and the klan has decided three of them will win, why *shouldn’t* the other two let those three leech? What benefit is there to them, who have already decided to lose, to stop someone from leeching?

In the lower brackets, you need far fewer scoops to be a contender (since the real contenders dominate for the first few weeks, until they’re in the top). Why shouldn’t eight other klan members in lower brackets just let them leech? What benefit is there to them, who don’t need the relatively small number of scoops the leecher isn’t giving, to stop them from doing so?

Domination is set up so that a klan has to choose who is contending in each bracket, once a certain number of alts are present. Why wouldn’t that klan then do all they can to make those selected contenders win, regardless of how many actual players are playing?

Allowing full solo vanilla in a raid eliminates most of the reason to leech (as there the only benefit is reduced interference), but it also means that a raid is purely extra scoops and a detriment to any player who isn’t in a klan that is capable of raiding.

But, given the added difficulty inherent in staging a klan raid, it will always be purely better than not raiding. I would say that the best way to manage that would be to allow a person to use all of their own alts to raid, so that a solo player can at least get some of the benefit themselves, which would be allowing alts to join the raid and gain scoops.

CLOSED: Post to win 10 BP! Ends Dec. 31st!

Feature Idea

edgy humour Posted:

All items can either be purchased at stores or are useless junk. So we end up with people not buying anything because prices are higher than they are at the ingame stores, or people hurt themselves by selling items at lower prices. There’s really no point in having a store when there’s the pwn shop anyway.

That’s not actually true.

First, the price you get for selling a useful item in the Ppwn Shop is not the price you paid for it in a real store, so there is a range in which you make more and another person pays less. As an example, with max Frugality, you can buy Smileprin XR for 134 Flezz, but you can sell them in the Ppwn Shop for 92 Flezz. If I opened a personal shop and sold them for 130 Flezz, I would be getting more money than I could have from the Ppwn Shop, and the buyer would be spending less money than they would be at Drugs “R” Fun.

Second, everyone doesn’t have the same level of Frugality. Someone with no Frugality pays 197 Flezz for each Smileprin XR from Drugs “R” Fun, so if someone with max Frugality were to sell them for 175 Flezz, they would be making Flezz with each sale, and the no Frugality buyer would be paying less for each pill.

The Antifreeze Cap

A big bag of marbles tells me you can have at least 300 of a piece of junk without any problems. I stopped at that point, so the actual limit is higher (quite possibly much higher).

So, go ahead and stockpile those Marys to your heart’s content.

The Antifreeze Cap

FWIW, I think the cap is 50 unique items, not 50 of one item.

I’d say for sure, but I needed the flezz and sold a bunch of junk.
