you know that was your own post so you lost points for that right?
i know i just want to hold the top score gained of all time
This seems like a really fun game. How long was the time period for the top all-time score?

You're asking how long it took to get the top score in "Top Scores All-time Gained"?
If so, it looks like it was roughly 3 hours and a half.
Or if you're talking about how long until it reset, it reset yesterday so from when this thread was first posted to yesterday.
i'm back, i guess.
hopefully i can relax for a bit.

ladies, please
looking at abraker's score makes me a sad boi.
It seems so unfair that he has like -1,400 pts from the start.

I don't like this new idea of resetting every month, I'd have to wake up in the middle of the night a ton just to get points

Not true.
I was 1st place before the reset and I didn't have to do that. (Although I do tend to stay up later than others on weekends)

jk you're cool. just annoying when it comes to this game ( >~<)
anyhow. this is about all i can do for today. i'm exhausted. risk-for-points is a stressful system to work under, especially when someone can post right before you and steal your points from right under your nose.

abraker ninja'd me again but luckily i didn't post.
goddamn. anyone who has to have someone post right before them has a lot of my sympathies now. it's mildly frustrating indeed.

h.
only been about 11 hours awake, already tired and unsure of what to do.
I'm reading a fucking amazing online comic. I'm wasting my time, sure, but... I'm enjoying it. I'll try to savor that. It's the first time in a while I've felt pretty nice the past couple weeks, just getting to relax and enjoy whatever I'm reading. I got lost in it a few times and could literally read it a good 30 more minutes without stopping.
Fuck, Kingdom Hearts critical mode is hard.
hmm. I actually watched a friend play Kingdom Hearts 2.8 or something like that. I haven't really looked into Kingdom Hearts before but i'm somewhat interested now.johnmedina999 wrote:

considering that so many people enjoy it, i might give it a quick look. it seemed fun watching my friend play through it, and there was some sort of mirror scene that was really trippy, as well as the whole levitating destroyed city stuck in a moment of time or whatever. it looked pretty intense and heavy-hearted.
Kingdom Hearts is great, I love the series and the boss fight you described is really fun.

welcome back, haven't seen you in a long while. so far, this might be the forum game you'll want to play in. you get to be active without having to think of much of anything. just post anything that comes to mind and get whatever points you can!

Heh, I feel the same way.
Also damn I can't even risk 25 minutes anymore.
I guess this will be the meta for a week or two. In the beginning it was like this, too. The average was like 25 minutes, while later on it evolved to like an hour.

what is everyone's opinions on including power-ups for the next month?
Topic Starter
here is a sample after a few minutes of brainstorming
Point Eater: For 3 posts you eat your victim's points every time you post. Your victim looses and you gain the number of points equal to the last number of points your victim gained
Point Explosion: Everybody gains points equivalent to the highest score gained in one post. Your point reward is doubled for the next 2 turns.
Point Slasher: Slash your victim. Your victim bleeds out 50 pts. Who will be the lucky player who finds these bled out 50 pts? Odds are 1/(num_of_players * 3)
Point Swap: Swap points with a player for the next 2 posts you or your victim makes
Blue Shell: Bring #1 player down to be #2
Point Growth: Get N times more points the lower ranked you are
Div by 0: Divide a player's points by 0. Your victim has an undefined amount of points and is unaffected by any point manipulations until you post again or the victim posts 3 times
Gamble: Double post for a 50:50 chance of getting 200 pts
Entangled: You get or loose as many points as your victim for the duration of the next three posts you or your victim makes

Did you really spell loses as "looses" twice? Wait, you spelt it as loose when explaining the rules on the front page as well.
Also, same question as Penguin Sanchez.

power-ups will be obtained at random when you post. Some power-ups have higher odds of being given than others, and I will have to go about at figuring out what those odds should be to balance the game. When you have a power-up, it would be displayed on the main post in some way and you will be able to use by writing something in your post ("/use {powerup}" or something)
kind of a weird new system, but oki, i'm alright with whatever happens.
abraker, do you have a poll for this somewhere?
we can vote on it or something.

I might put it on the main post a bit later, but you can keep reposting it until then.
I might put it on the main post a bit later, but you can keep reposting it until then.
Point eater: It should be that the player before you loses like 1/2 of what your score would be if you don't use it. For example, if you get 60 points and you use the power up, you should get 90 points and the previous poster should lose 30. This way, the amount lost/gained is dynamic and recalculated every post, and the user can be more thoughtful about when he posts.
Point explosion: I see no point in ever using this. If everyone gets the same amount of points then it's like no one gets any net gain. The only thing I can see that's positive about this is the "Your point reward is doubled for the next 2 turns" part, but then, it can be a power up of its own.
And on that, I think 2x is very high and very OP. Either make it rare or lower the multiplier.
Point slasher: I think the bled-out points should be percentage-based, not static. This way, you can use it thoughtfully in order to get the maximum benefit. I don't see anything wrong with the chance of finding it.
Point swap: I don't really understand this one, can you please explain it a bit better?
Blue shell: Blue shells are cancer and they shouldn't be implemented in any game ever. People work hard to get to the top, it's not fair to be able to regicide the #1. The scoreboard resets every month anyway; there isn't a need to dethrone anyone.
Point growth: Again, I think this is very OP. It would be better if it's something like 0.75nx, where n is your position. For example, if you're in 3rd place, you should get 3*0.75x points or 2.25x points. Maybe even less.
Divide by zero: This can be abused by the victim. If I'm hit by DBZ, I can just triplepost and the DBZ is gone now; not very helpful. EDIT: The only use I can find for this is with Entangled, but then you can't use Entangled on yourself, I assume, and that synergy would be the only good reason this power-up exists. It's not good to have a one-use power-up.
Gamble: I think it would be more fun if you could gamble any amount of points as long as it's less than or equal to the amount of points you have. If you lose, you lose the points you gamble, and if you win, your points are doubled. For example, if I have 1500 points, I could do \gamble{750}; if I lose, my point total is 750, and if I win, my point total is 2250.
Entangled: Perfect power up. As long as it's two-way, of course.
Also, I think it would be cool if you could sell your power-ups for points. Just a thought.

That can be another variation. The point of the mechanics for the one I came up with is to allow the victim the opportunity to minimize damage to self.johnmedina999 wrote:

There are a couple power-ups I listed that would cause someone not to receive the same amount of points: Divide by zero and Entangled. Divide by zero would cause the victim not to gain those points. Entangled would cause the one who use it have double the points due to this effect. This can't be a power-up on its own because who will use a power up which gives points everyone? The has to be an adverse effect to the very beneficial power-up.johnmedina999 wrote:

Player A has 100 pts and Player B has 50 pts. After using the power-up, player A has 50 pts and player B has 100 pts. This remains for two turns, then the pts are swapped back. I just thought of it but I don't think it's useful with any of the power-ups I have listed yet.johnmedina999 wrote:

lol someone has ptsd xD. Maybe blue shell will applied the next time the one who used it posts. This way the victim can have a chance to use some kind of power-up to avoid it if possible. This power-up list can drastically change, so I wouldn't put too much effort in arguing power-ups just yet.johnmedina999 wrote:

Yea values will have to be adjusted. Any values I throw have not been thought about and are just an example. If this idea goes through, then we will work at balancing the power-ups proper.johnmedina999 wrote:

The one who uses it can use it with another power-up. Suppose you want to use Point Explosion but don't want to the #1 player gain points. You can use DBZ on the #1 player before Point Explosion. Or use DBZ on yourself to avoid Point Eater.johnmedina999 wrote:

I don't like that. You would naturally want to gamble little to minimize the amount of points you could loose. That means that would need very low odds of getting points doubled. This basically ensures that this power-up is not worth it or useless much like the slots command in the OT discord.johnmedina999 wrote:

If the votes show in favor to the power-ups, I will be asking for power-up ideas and adjustments to mechanics. Right now it's a bit pointless to talk about, but I replied to have an interesting convo among these bland posts. Remember to vote here: https://www.strawpoll.me/16647224

Ah, I see! So I can use it and then post and delete my post and post and delete my post and then when we switch back the other player will have -10^100000 points.abraker wrote:

I don't think that's such a good idea.
Alright, I'll trust you on this one.abraker wrote:

This was my true question. It's good that you can use it on yourself. Thanks.abraker wrote:
Or use DBZ on yourself to avoid Point Eater.
That's not a very good comparison. In the Discord, getting points was slow and clunky. Here, we get points very frequently. I assume people will bet low enough to not lose a place in the rankings, so that's in between 100 and 200 in the lower ranks, more than your hard limit of 100.abraker wrote:

Instead of thinking of it like Discord, think of it like Jeopardy. In the show, you can get a "Double Jeopardy" question where you can bet any amount of money that you have, and it works just as I described. Assuming the probability you get the question right is 50%, it works quite well: people tend to spend about 30% to 40% of their total on these wagers. I still think it would be best if we could choose our wagers.

I think a lot of the power-ups need some tweaking and reworks to balance it all, but it should be a fun addition

I once drank a whole gallon of milk in a day and I could feel my bones expand. At first I thought I was just full from the milk, but my skin started to form stretch marks and I was visibly wider. I didn't know what was happening but I had an uncontrollable urge to drink more milk. I drove into the nearest gas station and literally ripped the door off the rifrigerated section containing the milk.
I started chugging gallon after gallon of milk standing right there in the store, my skin ripping at the seams. The cashier ran over to stop me but I swatted him aside and in one clean blow he landed across the room, shattering every bone in his pathetic meat suit. There was nothing left of him but a wet bloody puddle deprived of structure. I never thought I had it in me to kill but by now I had ascended beyond petty morality.
As I finished my eighth gallon it felt as though my stomach would rupture. My ribs broke out of my chest like a baby xxenomorph. My finger bones had grown through my hands a white nub could be seen protruding from my nose. My face was so stretched over my now massive skull I looked like Jenny McCarthy. My biceps and muscles were hard and calcified. My boner now had a bone.
I finished my twelfth gallon and began screaming and flexing, my skin tearing around my robust skeletal frame. With one final push I shed my meat chrysalis. I was free.
I didn't even use the door I simply walked out the wall of the gas station. Mortar and stone yielded to my mighty calcium. The cops were already there. In terror they began firing at me but even lead is no match for calcium. I walked straight toward one, reached down his throat and pulled his skeleton from his flesh sheath. With his bone I assembled a mighty claymore sword. With a single swing I cleaved the Earth in twain and descended into the inky black. Here I wait until the time I'm called into service for the great skellington war.
