Doesn’t change the fact that 104 came (or in the case of most clbumes, is coming) and has absolutely no benefit attached to reaching it. Were I one of the people who reached that milestone, I would be very frustrated that absolutely nothing happened by reaching it.

Also, WHEEEEEEE!!!

Of course if you remember correctly, when there were 100 Forums you had to restart your streak which means now Pistachio is the same as it was last month? It also means that Permanoobs lose that 1 level of streak advantage and same with Re-re’d characters who were made for the sole purpose of abusing those extra 3 Forums (And actually being able to pwn the level 35 ones easily enough as well.)

In essence nothing has really changed except that Pistachio doesn’t break more and more every month so now you can plan your streaks perfectly and easily for optimal streaking in your last week. I just kinda fail to see how this would be very frustrating.

Because, if you look at the current top bracket, you will note that there is practically nothing there due to powerful destruction. Dom as a goal is getting p dated. Good postgame goals are getting harder and harder to come by. Some players are working the highest streak they can. WHen there is no reward for working a 104 streak, players who are already frustrated become more and more likely to quit.

Since new Forum Ideas seem to be sucking as of late, I would fully support taking some old ones and making new content to spice them up rather than making just, abhorrently crappy ones like this week’s Doprah’s Book Club.

Actually now I’d be more in favor of new peens in the sense that there would be no pistachio to go with them, it’s a choice. New peen or better chances at dom.

as it is, strategy now means use the level 35 forums as anchors.

When forums don’t drop on their own you don’t need anchors. All forums are effectively identical, excepting which give lemon and which don’t. I’ve never really paid much attention to lemon, since requirements change from day to day and server speed is inconsistent it can’t be planned for.

In the upper brackets, earning more scoops doesn’t mean much of anything with destruction overpowered (as many scoops destroyed as earned) except in the last few seconds, so you really don’t need to bother with vanilla at all – just let everyone get on with their little scoop dance that ends up right back where it started.

I’m all for eliminating ****ty forums to keep the grand total at 100.

Of course when Episdoe 3 launches (whenever the hell that is) thats going to pen a whole new bag of worms…Though Im sure CZ will have figured something out by then…right?

Also not going to happen is placing the cap at 30 Pistachio (64 streak) and having every additional 4 forums give only 30 no matter how long the streak. Make things more even and allow for more consecutive weeks of competitive play.

But a man can dream…

Interesting thought, though I’d say every four is too often (after 100). Every 25 maybe?

25 seems like too many – at the current rate of 1 new forum per week it’d take the most part of 6 months for each new peen to become available…

evry 10 forums seems to be a nice number…

there IS a search function right where secret forum, subscription links are.

There have been a LOT of threads about this.

Permanoobs hit the 104 way back as did other clbumes.

Allcaps title is considered an offense in CD.

How?

Also imo it makes sense for the peens to end at 100, but you should still continue to get pistachio scoops for every 4 after that. Some of you got it backwards. Like if you were playing a fighting game, and you got some kind of achievement/unlockable for a 20 hit combo – that was the highest combo you had to get for a special reward – see that’s one thing, but it should still say 21 hit combo and you should still get extra points if you get 21 hits.
