Bah, Moose, you cheat.




That's what I was saying the whole time: "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all."

The thread was full of positive feedback and good suggestions until you decided to blame everyone:

OR we could just leave it how it is. What's wrong with it right now? Why do you want it changed so badly? Are you that bad at it? And if you are, why still play it?
[right][snapback]448950[/snapback][/right]

Here, lets answer your questions:
1) Nobody wants it changed so badly. We're making suggestions.
2) It's impossible to be bad at it, the choices are random.
3) See answer #2.


About Moose "asking" for suggestions, I'm just going to flat out say you're wrong. I assume Moose would love some nice suggestions on the game. You assume that he'd ask. Well, assumptions are opinons. And opinons are personal. And on SEN, nobody cares about each other. So if you do the math, nobody cares about assumptions.

Bottom line, you brought an unneeded argument out of nowhere. Please stop doing that.

Anyway, I was thinking of making a box buyable every 12 or 18 hours. Any comments on that?
[right][snapback]449016[/snapback][/right]


Nah. There will be no boxes for the other people that want to play it. 36 boxes to 5800+ people to a refill of boxes every 7 hours = not enough for everyone.(Yes I know less then 1000 people come back after they register.) Still 1000 is over the limit of 36 x 3 = 108. Which actually is enough for a daily basis but still. Give it at least a month before you change the buyablity time on it.

Because as we all know, 1000 people buy boxes.

You could try it, I guess. I don't think time is that big of a deal, unless you make it like an hourly thing, or something close to that. The only problem with 24, is that I want to buy my box early, but keep buying it later and later. sad.gif

Your probably be surprised but..I agree with this. It IS kinda annoying, but other then that one small thing the game is perfectly fine how it is.

Make it 12 hours. I am tired of waiting so long for one. But remember, the shorter rehabilitation time is, more inflation it would cause on SeN!

I thought more boxes and more variety can definitely help.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Deathawk on 2006-03-21 at 18:26:17
I say 18 hour break, or 20. It pretty much prohibbits you from buying two on the same day, but give you a chance to buy it whenver you want that day.

maybe a secret kiwi box each week would be uber cool
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Oo.Insane.oO on 2006-03-21 at 19:55:38
Or everyone gets there own 30 box's and there can be -, + and items in them and for each one u pick it is 20 minerals I think that would be fun
Report, edit, etc...Posted by O)FaRTy1billion on 2006-03-21 at 21:36:01
Put it in a table or something ><
Currently they are just numbers that you can click, and not even boxes.
Maybe use a background image on each link to make it look like boxes that are opened or closed.

Edit: Making a box with a random item sounds fun. rofl I would love having the random item include a 1 day suspension (or one hour, just so people don't get pissy).
Report, edit, etc...Posted by (DI)Yulla on 2006-03-21 at 21:55:35
Nice idea, farty. one hour suspension is pretty good.

I was also thinking about putting an animation to it and some kind of unique sound that comes along with it. random kiwi boxes are pretty kool, but that will just mean people will resell it in the store to get more minerals.

Have the Boxes buyable every day instead of every 24 hours.

Just renew a member's buying abilities 12 AM EST or something.

This way if I get on SEN at an earlier time the next day, say 2 hours, I can still get my daily serving of Box.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by BeeR_KeG on 2006-03-22 at 09:48:43
That 1 hour suspension is definetly out of question.
Imagine if I'd get suspended and somebody decides to start tearing the place appart?
It also wouldn't be fair if I was immune to that suspension, because it wouldn't be fair.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Killer_Kow(MM) on 2006-03-22 at 11:14:32
I think the item boxes are a good idea, and the suspension bozes would be funny, but unfair (as was said before). I think that the wait time shouldn't be 24 hours. In my opinion, it should reset at midnight for everyone.

As far as the boxes go...
Maybe you can salvage something from this:

I have an a couple ideas!

1) Insted of getting 20 minerals, exactly what you payed for, Maybe like 25 or 22, so you get something!

2) Not every game but, some random games put a 400 or 500 minerals amount. No one will really know but just a bog suprise!!!

3) A box that allows you to chose two more times! Without paying! or With Paying!

4) IDK maybe some other people can add some ideas on this.




Overall - I love this game, I think it is a really good idea. It is already good, but something new never really hurts!!!!!!

ADDITION:
What Chess???

I have a few ideas:

1} A special box that only appears every 50 resets. In the box, there is a special thing. From now on, you get 50 minerals a day.

2} A box where you could win a real prize, like a cheap game, or a book or 10 free Big Macs tongue.gif

3} A box with a multiplier in it, a random number like x2, or x5, and then it gives you 10 seconds to pick another box, and you get whatever's in that box, multiplied by the number that you had.

Those are all of my ideas. Can't wait until they update the game. So far, I've won 115 minerals, and lost 140! biggrin.gif

i think being able to play more than one day would be better though...don't change anything but more times you can play in a day. like 3 chances to choose a day?can you make more boxes or something?

people do get a little impatient to wait a whole day+1minute...

but i'd think you shouldn't make a game that gives you too much in one play though...

here's an idea...how about for each person that spends 20 minerals on the magic boxes(since its being played more than the lottery), those minerals can go into the lottery jackpot?it'll make it so we didn't spend our minerals for nothing but turn it into something else...

I really like the multiplyer idea but it should just multiply your minerals and it could only be by x2 because x3 x4 ect would be really unfair

Make it so that for 200 minerals you can get hints. tongue.gif If you get the jackpot, you still would have lost money.

I really like this idea. Is it possible to code and do you guys like it?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by (SEN)Dante50 on 2006-03-31 at 20:41:47
There's also the basic adding thing. Every 25 resets, a box is placed (blah, blah, blah), and in the box is a special thing. You will get a random number from 5-50. From now on, you will get that amount added to the amount you win (this only applies for boxes with 20 minerals or more). smile.gif

With PHP(That's what used to make the game) that is possible with a few variables and some SQL. PHP is the basis for almost all forum systems so without PHP this forum and the game wouldn't be possible to do. YOu know the Squeries thing under the forums that's SQL queries being executed.
