miscellaneous

Hi all, just stumbled upon this game and it looks to be a pretty good reincarnation of bots2 (Well done Ed). I used to enjoy random records/stats, such as most exp at a given level, the 2 trains HoF, ratio HoF, plus any other stat like that. I can't seem to find a specific thread dedicated to these things, surely it should be sticked with links to the HoFs? That part of bots2 was what I loved most.

There have been quite a few forum threads where ender has done database queries for particular stuff. Perhaps someone less lazy than me will dig a few up for you

Unfortunately only Wiggin can sticky threads & nobody can edit posts. So a thread like we had in BOTS2 would be impossible.

That said I also enjoyed that thread, as well as the ones for most damage & greatest number of blocks & I would welcome something similar here.

I'm sure if we ask him nicely, he'll sticky a thread like that.

The stickying is not the big issue, the not being able to edit the post is the problem.

Ratio wise, this is probably the most impressive I've seen

That is pretty impressive.

I suppose he could sticky thread it then he could update it every 1-3 months :p

Or just put everything into documentation :)

The documentation page is where everything like that belongs. The problem some people have is that it takes too many seconds to load.

I could make a page to keep records on botsunauthorized.net . I could give a couple of people the power to add records. ?

That may be a good solution until stuff does get added to documentation, unless ender wants to keep the work off loaded somewhere else. Still would be nice to have it in the same site for continuity/one stop shop.

Well, someone give me a list of things. And I'll start working on something. Would be simple. ~400 rows(levels) per "record". Able to edit each record with a timestamp, etc. Then to show each record.

Do what AX and I suggested, most damage, most blocks, 2 trains hall of fame, ratio hall of fame, most exp, most levels in a day (Forthebet anybody?), first to level 100, first to level 200, most cs/energy dumped in a day and most cs/energy in an hour. I'm sure there are more, these kind of skills are what make the game interesting, not the grinding.

Here's some historical context on this subject (the thread linked in the OP of that thread is relevant too regarding post editing). In short, I'd like for this to be automatically tracked by the game. It's unfortunately low priority right now though, sorry.
