Okay, here's the funky new SEN game. Let's boogie.

.N e w s
Christmas Present to all Players in first round: Free lot in next round. Thanks for helping me test this out.
Next round signups start on Dec 28. Cost will be 25 minerals next round. Next round starts Jan 1, 2005.

Current Stats
Coding Attempt -- Warning: Don't expect this to work. tongue.gif

.L o t s
There are 100 "lots", ordered from 0 through 99. A "lot" is a piece of property that can be owned by any SENer playing the game. Any one unoccupied lot can be purchased by a member for 25 minerals. A member can only own one lot, multiple accounts are not permitted. Lots for the next round not be purchased in advance before the signup date for the next round. Lots are sold on a first come, first serve basis. If two players purchase the same lot, the first request recieves it. Lot Zero cannot be purchased. Additional lots can be created after resets as I see fit.

.M o n e y
Every day, I use a random number generator for each player. They range from 0 through 99. Each number corresponds to the lot of the same number. If that lot is owned by another player, you are charged 10 minerals and that player gains 10 minerals. If the number corresponds to an unowned lot, nothing happens. If the number corresponds to the player's own lot, they recieve a 50 mineral bonus. Send the money here.

.Z e r o
If the number corresponds to Lot Zero, they recieve a bonus spin. They can either take 50 minerals or can generate another number as follows:
0: 300 Mineral Bonus
1-10: -50 Minerals
11-20: Nothing
21-30: 50 Minerals (0 gain)
31-40: Store item: View Other's Warn Level
41-50: Store item: Random Money
51-55: Option to destroy another member's lot (limit 1 until used)
56-60: Protection from lot destruction for remainer of round
61-70: Free lot in next round
71-75: Option to buy a second lot in current round
76-80: Your lot collects double for the remainder of the round
81-90: Nothing
91-98: -50 Minerals
99: 300 Mineral Bonus

.B a n k r u p t c y
Should a player run out of minerals, thier lot will no longer collect until they have sufficent funds. Nor can thier lot collect when another player gets that number. It is treated as an unused lot except that it cannot be purchased.

.R e s e t
Lots are reset every month. While you can join at any time, it might not be cost-effective to join towards the end of a month. This gives chances for major changes or creation of additional lots, etc.

Eventually I will get some coding to automate this for me. Until now, this is just a test run.

I object to this being pinned. IP told me not to pin the bank, so how come you pin this. Unpinned until verdict from IP.

Well im sorry to break this to ya, but Moosey has more power than you, and is basically the 2nd in command, so he can pin the topic if he dam well wants to. Plus IP probally gave moosey permission to make the page
Report, edit, etc...Posted by DT_Battlekruser on 2004-12-09 at 01:16:40
Well IP can say that, can't he. I doubt IP had anything to do with this tongue.gif

If he did, it would be coded, I know.

IP is playing acaully, Lot 83 i think it is, he didnt have a problem then

I didn't say IP had a problem with it, I said, IP didn't start it. I just think all the pinned topics look really messy.

We did talk about SEN Lots for a couple of days before it was made public.

Anyways, yeah, High is right... Moose can do practically anything he wants to... and none the less, he did directly ask permission to start this (unlike your posting of things in the news forum). He is staff for a reason. I don't even know how you have the guts to object to something Moose does, let alone bother questioning it.

Why isn't it coded? Because it's moose's game... because it'll give him good practice... and because I have things I want to do myself. Does it make a difference though?

Re-pinned.

Yeah, I don't like lots of pinned topics either, so, to quench your desires for a clutter free forum, I merged all the other ones in this forum into one topic... A super uber Guide. It made sense.


Beer... you have 1:99 chance of scoring 50 minerals each day... and you have X:99 chance of loosing 10 minerals, but you also have (1:99)*X chance of gaining 10 minerals as well.
Also, because this game lasts for a month I believe? Your chance of scoring at LEAST 50 minerals from your own spin is pretty good. The +10 and -10 should balance out enough. I tried convincing moose to allow three lots to be owned by the gods for a lost of 20 minerals... but he didn't like wink.gif.

What Moose does almost always goes.
He has earned his reputation along with a couple of other Sen'ers in here.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by IsolatedPurity on 2004-12-23 at 12:03:01
you should halve the lots too... more chance to land on lots and etc...

Do you just want me to code it? smile.gif
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Mini Moose 2707 on 2004-12-23 at 12:03:53
Nah, I'll get around to it eventually. I don't mind doing it manually because it isn't that much of a hassle yet. With halved price, I think a lot more people will buy lots, so that should make it more active.

But then there won't be such occurances as:
"Omgozzz0r 3 days and no roll?"

Free lot next round, thank moose.

Well, I'm going to keep playing next round and see if it becomes more interesting with mroe people next round.

I'll take lot#13 in next round and I intend to keep #13 until SEN Lots is no more.

Did you finish the coding?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Mini Moose 2707 on 2004-12-28 at 00:23:04
Obviously not. Also, you can't claim a lot until lot buying is opened. Sorry, grabbing the same lot every time is exactly why I don't want that.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Mini Moose 2707 on 2004-12-30 at 11:22:23
Signups for Round II are open now.

Follow the instructions in the rules above and claim your lot. Cost is 25 minerals. If you particapted in this round, there is no charge.

Also, isolated will be doing the coding. Not only can I not code well, but I need to spend more time mapping. So whatever. tongue.gif
