suggestions

I wish to suggest that an accept-all recruit button be added to the recruit page for us whore/dump masters out there that hate to re-do clicking clans then recruit then accept then clicking confirm and doing that 19 times. Takes like 5-10 minutes every time.

This would be nice. Or at least make it stay on the recruit page when you accept one person.

You should have left out the "whore" part in the reason for this suggestion. Now Ender will raise an eyebrow at make whoremasters lives easier.

*making

I agree with gproof

The only people who would use this are whore masters. Therefore this suggestion would add nothing to the game & will only help a practice that is frowned upon.

Big no.

Agreed

At least have an option that returns you to the recruit page, its a pointless waste of a blank page the way it is now.

Just go back a couple pages, either with the browser button or alt <- twice.

I would use this when I am forcing that gold leader trophy :P

Anything that works in the game is allowed and there for is not frowned upon.

• Onlining : Sucks to suck
• Dumpers : It works, leave it alone
• Freaked bots : Screw the system

Saying that it adds nothing to game is irrelevant.

Irrelevant - Not the right word.

Its just something to save time. Its not like whoremasters are going to stop making clans or anything i fit is or isn't implemented. Plus it saves time for normal clans too if there is more than one applicant. I just remember it being a bit more streamlined in bots2. Accepting 99 bots back then seemed to take less time than accepting 19 now.

All in all its just a suggestion and its up to Ender to decide on it.

Btw isn't it funny that the second someone says the words "help whores" it ends up in a fight about the usefulness of whores and all the other words that go with the "help whores" are disregarded.

He does have a point about the whores though. But it's a good suggestion for legitimate clans too.

Agreed with dragonrose. My time resources are limited, so it wouldn't make sense to spend time on it cause I'm trying to reduce whoring. I agree the member management interfaces could use some work in general though.

Any hints on how you are going to reduce whoring and/or dumping and maybe a time frame Ender?

Or I could just keep hoping like I have since like September/October or something. Ya, that's more than likely what I'll do.

How: I have a fairly long list of changes I'm working on and I've dropped hints on the forum about these ideas.

When: It's currently third on my list, but hard to equate that to a timeframe.

Oh and I wouldn't drop these changes in mid-month btw, so don't worry about that.

how much of an impact will it have on the game?

A moderate one.

I have no problem with reducing the effectiveness of whoring and dumping, but you will need to replace these time sinks and rewards otherwise you just cut in half the amount of activity and things you can do to differentiate yourself from others. As a developer you should want the players to be as engaged and logged on for as much time as possible. So, hopefully you don't just nerf and that's it.

This isn't just a simple knee-jerk reaction that I've not given thought to. The end goal that's always in the back of my mind is to make a game that is enjoyable for as many people as possible and has replay value.

I hope you are considering the fact that it sucks big donkey dick to have to reset to score effectively or create stupid amounts of dumpers.

I think the energy system as a whole could use a redesigning. I know it would be a difficult topic, and I don't want to bash what Ender has done because I think this system has far more potential than the older system. I just think that if this game is going to resort back to players building whores to fight themselves then Ender should capitalize on that.

Perhaps build a new subset of trainers. Ones that people can fight for a standard amount of energy. This would be slightly lower than the amount given when fighting actually built bots, but would limit the need or desire to build massive amounts of whores. This would also allow for a more level playing field for "new" clans to compete against the more established ones.

Just food for thought.

I think that there should be a type of war system that will make fighting bots with a good energy ratio or wins (or something) more beneficial
