Instead of making a really tough short forum, make a survival forum with an endless amount of threads, with increasing power. The forum would be accessible once per day from a Russian hacker NPC (sTalk contact). No forum visits are used, and streaks are not affected.
At every checkpoint, the player would be given a special item (changes daily and varies with performance in the forum). Players can return to the forum later if they are unable to finish in one sitting.
The high number of threads leads to high repair costs, but yields high cred rewards. This makes a great choice for leveling up and gaining great items. For balance purposes, it is also a great flezzsink.
Thoughts? Please keep the comments constructive. ghax edited this message on 01/28/2009 10:11PM |

the boss threads would have more HP than usual, and medium power ghax edited this message on 12/29/2008 7:46PM |

It’s really unfeasible and timeconsuming |

since there are 1000s of threads, there will be a lot of duplicates. To model this, only the first 10 or so need to be listed on the page with the topics. This makes it less intensive on the displaying. |

It’s way over the top. I like the core idea, but pwning a single forum for hours sounds horrible. Especially considering how boring this so-called “Forumwarz” game actually is. I agree that there should be forums with higher defense or more threads, but keep it within limits.
I wouldn’t mind to see a forum that hits weak but has many HP threads (with a normal amount of threads though) or a forum that is about as strong as Dykea but has at least 20 threads. But I doubt that anyone wants to press 1 and 2 alternatively for two hours. |

1000 was just a number i needed a big number
obviously, 20 – 50 is a lot more reasonable and it wouldnt take hours
i was just using hyperbole to get a response ghax edited this message on 12/29/2008 7:54PM |

maybe the thread count and power could be based on the challenger’s strength / level? so that it wouldn’t be insanely hard for n00bs or insanely easy and mindless for lv35 characters |

Not interesting now that both cred and flezz are capped. |

Go pwn something like second wife.
I don’t think this would be a good idea since
1. As stated Cred and Flezz are capped. 2. The reason for this is because CZ doesn’t want people zooming through EP3 like they did EP2. 3. The flezzsink wouldn’t be that huge because people would just end up not useing higher equips. 4. Plus 20+ threads would take what? 5-10 minutes for something not that rewarding?

Nice idea. I was actually thinking of some sort of endless thread forum where it would progressively rise in difficulty and records how many you’d be able to beat until you die. Perhaps a new Leaderboard would be made and E-peen are rewarded to those who achieved certain thresholds and who got the highest. |

This would be freaking awesome. It’s also a great place to hide epic 100+ piece .moar files, where the hardest to get pieces are past level 100. |

Make the forum something evolution related. Say, /darwin/ or something. |

is it possible that pink floyd pieces might be available in the survival thread?
(rarity is proportional to thread difficulty, so the higher level threads will give a better chance of getting a pink floyd piece) |

Bosses every 5-10 threads, ePeen for every 1-5 bosses, pwning a boss increases the difficulty. Infinite threads.
For the domwhores, let them get Antifreeze scoops proportional to how far they managed to get before dying.
Call it ”/be/ the ocean of ****”. |
