Guys cool down, all of you. This is still Game Discussion.

Permanoobs are meant as a challening clbum and can profit – in a relative way – the most from

special items with lots of offense. With the lack of high offense attacks, their pistachio loop

advantage is compensated with less lemons. Same goes for re-res, even more.

I thought this thread was in an RP forum when I saw the title in the active topics section. Mispost? Late April Fools’ Day prank? Anyway, responding bumuming srs thread is srs.

Given the power of pistachio streaking in Domination it is ridiculous that one clbum be allowed to extend their streak beyond all other clbumes.

Even if pistachio remains uncapped for the existence of Forumwarz, this is a difference of 6 scoops. At the moment in solo runs, it’s 114 (36 + 38 + 40) versus 120 (38 + 40 + 42). There are a finite number of streaks that you can deploy within a dom week. In the worst case scenerio, it’s 22 scoops on the week (24 if you hold a visit over), but really, those 24 scoops are going to be bumholed away rather quickly.

Access to all the clbum forums makes their solo vanilla virtually impossible to interrupt.

Maybe I just don’t consider this a huge issue due to the alts I have, but…this doesn’t seem like a huge issue.

Lester Burnham Posted:

The top of the line attacks for Permas are text based – this gives them a huge speed advantage on the lower end forums.

Isn’t the lemon speedrun thing being converted to a turn-based system?

Lester Burnham Posted:

Additionally they have three “1 refresh” attacks where most of the normal clbumes only have two.

Emos, camwhores and trolls have 3. Not as if you even need more than 2 anyway.

Lester Burnham Posted:

New uber-powered equipment via itembuildr has radically closed the stat gap.

As Inconnu pointed out, attack power plays a bigger factor in this than offense.

Hell, 6th place on the medals leader board is held by a re-re!

I think that has more to do with the character belonging to the two biggest klans of domination players than clbum.

The only issue I would suggest is, say, someone leveling a re-re up to the clbum warfare stage, and then changing them over to a troll. Even then, it’s really a very minor issue, and quite frankly, if you’re willing to spend the time and BPs for 6 extra scoops, go for it.

True, Fort. High-end permas can get lemons from many forums. But because they can’t 1-2 forums above ~Lvl 25, I see no serious advantage in domination.

Also these clbum specific forums are like a bonus for having grinded your perma to this level (though you can still cheat/uncheat for that).

I disagree with you on the availability of clbum specific forums for all clbumes

I always respect a person’s right to their own opinion. I believe discussion brings out the finer points that may be missed if one person is allowed to say something and have it accepted blindly as fact. That happens far too often and rarely includes qualifiers. Most notably when a klannie chimes in about mechanics or game strategy.

I think I will make a Permanoob or begin using some visits on the re-re that I cheated to level, but have never played. It would be good to see how they run. One probably shouldn’t rely on the word of others and the wiki.

I realize it is not a requirement to play competitively in any given area in order to comment on game mechanics, but it has always seemed like a good idea to me. Perhaps others should consider doing the same.

Also, sorry, scully, I truly respect you, but this thread probably should be CoS.

lol. You’re a cutie. Log in to see images! scully edited this message on 04/02/2009 10:03AM

Wow. It’s really depressing if the game is so out of whack that some of the ridiculous things I mentioned will actually be accurate down the road. There needs to be a serious look at change in the way stats / attacks / equipment works if that is the case. Log in to see images!

I could very well be wrong, but isn’t it only a three non-community forum advantage?

You’re correct. Also a 2 forum advantage compared to emos who can run Geronimo. That’s enough to exploit the advantage though, since when a new streak peen becomes available, your re-re or perman00b will be at the top end of their streak, and any other clbum will be at the lower end of their streak, to grab their newly available top end pistachio in a couple of weeks time. Unless you’re out of sync with the new awards, in which case there’s no advantage (or disadvantage) between the clbumes. As noted, if there’s a pistachio cap, then all clbumes will be equal, except that permanoobs have less flexibility for which forums to run in their last two weeks.

The real advantage could be this. If the forum cap is at 100 forums for the regular clbumes the permanoobs will have access to 103. Okay, now if everyone can still access both pony forums them permanoobs will have 104. But more likely Evil Trout will not have it coded to give pistachio or an epeen at 104 forums. So who knows.

But that is bumuming Geronimo will apart of the 100. Which will really give properly speced emo’s 101 with both pony forums. Permanoobs 102 pwnable forums. And the other clbumes 100, again counting both pony forums.

So, I don’t know what my point was anymore. Scatterbrained.

My bumumption has been that builder forums will continue past 100 it is just the streak counter that will limit pistachio gains past 100 so no advantage to emos, noobs or anyone. I could be wrong.
