I was thinking of whipping up a quick program to automatically “break” dragons you enter into the form.
As per MCB’s suggestion: http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/25673 = it seems entirely possible to just put all entered dragonz into a page and continuously refresh it, once a second. This can be accomplished with a HTML meta refresh tag. So you’d just leave a tab open with the egg-breaker in it and you can watch as dragunz go bye-bye.
Interest? |

just adblock them so they don’t load in the first place
this involved un-adblocking them
someone make a botnet to do this Hobart Bliggity Posted: |

As I understand it, “too many clicks over a two short period of time” doesn’t actually kill dragons, what it does is “make dragons sick” and “a dragon being sick for too long” (measured in hours) is what actually kills the dragon. So if the person whose dragon you’re trying to kill notices that his or her dragons are sick, and uses the “hide” command, you would have accomplished nothing except “helping his or her dragons grow.”
Also, it bears mentioning that adult dragons don’t get sick, no matter how many times they’re viewed, only hatchlings and eggs. So you really wouldn’t accomplish all you’re hoping to.
It’s better to adblock really. It’s effective, and you have no chance of actually helping the dragon poster. Possibly a Cabbage edited this message on 02/04/2009 4:52PM

this is significantly different than the interest i was expecting…
I was more focusing on breaking eggs… you know, making them sick and staying sick. Then when they are sick, they can stay sick with the views. If they hide them, obviously they’re not getting any views (and hence not growing). When they get beyond the point of too many views hurting them, then you can just stop running it.
I’m only on line 6 anyway… |

No. Just no.
Most of the draginz posters here (with the exception of uberdouche Gothzilla and his klancroney Dragonoth) only post draginz in ****ty threads or threads with the word dragon or draginz in the title. We try our best to moderate our behavior to a civilized level, in the hopes that those without draginz will be civilized in their treatment of us. Like TUBS said, if you don’t like it, use AdBlock.
Also, this anti-draginz tactic isn’t gonna change that fact that everyone believes/knows you are FalconFour. Log in to see images! |

This is a subjective call, and my reason for wanting them to stop.
For example: the camwhore stickies are not ****ty threads.

But here’s what’s going to happen. -I post a dragon -You put it into egg-breaker -I notice that the dragon has a ton of clicks, and is sick, so I fog the dragon so it can’t receive any more clicks. -24 hours later (or so) the dragon is no longer sick, so I unfog it. -Egg-breaker gives it a bunch more clicks, it gets sick again. -I notice that it’s sick again, and I fog the dragon so it can’t receive any more clicks, and unfog when healthy. -Eventually, my dragon egg will have gotten enough clicks just from your egg-breaking utility to hatch. -Because I paid attention, you would have done nothing to hurt me, and a lot to help me.
See why this isn’t a great idea?
Hell, give me a copy of this program, and I’ll write one that automatically fogs dragons when sick, and I’ll have an automatic dragon-hatcher/maturer. More to the point, when my dragons are all adults, I can spam them without fear of reprisal because over-clicking adult dragons does nothing.

I wrote a python program a while back to “help” (friend of a friend) but as I see it in this topic, you could kill a dragon doing that very same thing at the right time. I might free up a source sometime soon. Tubmail me if you’re actually interested so I don’t forget. :U Log in to see images! |

Anyway, what’s wrong with Adblock as a solution to douchey dragon posters? Possibly a Cabbage edited this message on 02/04/2009 5:08PM

I know that, and most of the draginz community here knows that. But I can only control my own behavior. People like Gothzilla and Dragonoth act like rules or suggestions of common decency don’t apply to them.
Personally, I don’t consider Gothzilla or Dragonoth part of the main draginz society. They’re fringe rebels. Lame douchey ones, too. Log in to see images! |

Not everyone has it, it also fills good threads with dragons, thats ****ing lame.
Anyone who has dragons does not know win from fail, and therefore does not know what threads to attack. Log in to see images! Log in to see images! |

Threads like “Post your dragons here” are full of fail, ergo I can post dragons in them to attack them, right?
Anyway, anybody without AdBlock (Plus, please) is a n00b and deserves what they have coming to them. Get a real browser, FFS. Possibly a Cabbage edited this message on 02/04/2009 5:11PM
