COOL bEANZ~

that's what the accountants said at enron also ;)

who what when where why?

torment sucks, that is all.

I wrote a blog post to address some of the issues players brought up.

tried to write a comment on your blog post. It said 404 error not found when I tried to log in to do so...

Me too :(

Oh well, the points you make Slagpit are more than relevant, this should change the overwhelming negativity of some of the player base towards the nerf of the uber decay bonus.

overwhelming negativity? most of the people who have actually used the decay bonus are in favor of nerfing it.

Luck 0.4% 8
Luck +0.25% 6

.4/8=.05
.25/6=0.041666
.05/0.041666=1.20

8/6=1.333
.25*1.333=0.33333325

so new luck is 20% better than old luck

and new luck rounded up .0333 up to .04

so you round up something which is exactly 1/3 of the difference between .03 and .04, best case i can think of you rounded .0333 up to .035 then rounded it up again to .04

Expenses -1.25% 12
Expenses -0.8% 8

8/12=.666
1.25*.666=.8325
.8/.8325=0.960960

so you rounded .0325 down to .00 which rounding .0333 up to .04

one of which is a 20% buff and the other is a 3.9% nerf

i would have expected luck to have been much more used compared to expenses previously so it seems counter productive to treat them in opposite ways

particularly when a rounding effect on a smaller value is way higher than that on the larger one

if the goal is to make it easier to change values dropping a significant place and having to take into account weird rounding seems needlessly complicated

you traded a 10% nerf for a 20% buff with weird rounding but left a 3.9% nerf that you could have turned into a 8.1% buff on a category which arguably deserved more buffing

or you could just add a significant place

the blog seems messed up

there was no obvious place to create an account, eventually i found one by going to a different page than the one linked to, but once i made an account it wouldnt login and wouldnt even let me resend password when trying username or email used on sign up and it said it accepted both

i came into this set with the intention of trying the fascist farmer decay option to see how much cash could be made from it if any.

But i've already fallen behind on collecting my bonuses as well as having an issue with 1 of the sites claiming i am cheating with my vote or something, so i may not be able to give much insight:p

already voted-msg?

building costs is the new decay in that it is the only bonus that can significantly add nw to the right country.

yeah but now it's back to letting me vote marshal.

it only happened on like 1 day, weird.

yeah, should have gone building costs.

alas i hope some of my clanmates did.

The 15% Bonus for Facism was not enough to make up for the decrease in the decay bonus to play Facism. Nevertheless I like the idea to increase the bonus effectiveness.

looking back so far this reset in alliance, this change did not nerf decay for techers as planned (unless i misunderstood the intentions)

i would argue it is a slight buff for techers and a huge nerf for cashers. what it merely did was push the food peak to be later and higher.

i think we need another reset to tell...the fact that tech prices are so high still tells me that there was probably some strat imbalance this set.

no one played farmer because it sucks.

Now you get your bonus for the day and apply it. I liked it more before - you had to be a bit more careful. Now it becomes more like an automated routine again.

Ouch even~~~~~~
