Balancing numbers with perks.
« Reply #60 on: January 12, 2004, 11:50:48 AM »
Just my opinion.

Get rid of the perk multiplier.

Tie perk costs to the ENY value and slide the entire ENY scale instead.  Any plane with a negative ENY would cost perks to fly.  It'd be much more tangible.  You'd see the effect and cost of your plane choice up front.

If the ENY scale slid, then a plane normally 10 ENY might slip negative if numbers were that far off.  -1 ENY might cost you a perk to fly.

Conversely, when the scale slid in your favor a 262 would might now be -120 ENY and cost 120 perks and a 40 ENY p51b is now earning at 51 ENY.

Also tie to that the ability to change sides to the team with lowest numbers with no time restrictions.  If spies scare some folks, just deny control of the fleets or access to the mission planer for the same 12 hour period as we have now.

i just think some of the planes should be re-evaluated on their current ENY.


ex: P40E having lower ENY then the majority of bf109s ?

He prefers to have it sent to me, so I can quality test it for him.  Let me know when you're ready to send it, and I'll give you my address!

Could we make it cost extra to type on channel one?  

Everybody gets 200 characters (10 capitals) with their basic rate.  Go over that and it costs extra.  CAPITALS cost even more.

It might solve the channel one problem.  

I've got a better idea, use the extra income to fund the PAHV (Poor Aces High Vertrans)  It could help pay for worn out joysticks, divorces etc.

I'd like to buy a vowel.

And the horde of bishes sang this refrain:

Chorus
Drool Bishlandia! Bishlandia drools always
Bishes never, never, never shall be brave.

Other chess pieces, not so blest as thee
Must, in their turns to tiffikazes fall
Must, in their turns to tiffikazes fall
While thou shalt scurry, shalt hurry, run and flee
The dread and envy of them all.
(Chorus)

Still more dweebastic shalt thou rise
More dweebastic from each circle stroke
More dweebastic from each circle stroke
As the loud blast, the blast that tears the skies
Serves but to toot thy naive joke.
(Chorus)

Thee haughty rooknits ne'er shall flame
All their attempts to gang thee down
All their attempts to gang thee down
Will but arouse, arouse thy seal-like game
But work their woe, and thy renown.
(Chorus)

To thee belongs the dweeb-like reign
Thy cities shall with gv's shine
Thy ci-ties shall with gv's shine
All thine shall be, shall be the subject main
And every horde it circles thine.
(Chorus)

The Masses, still with dweedom found
Shall to thy happy host reset
Shall to thy happy host reset
Blest sheep with matchless, with matchless beauty crowned
And manly hearts to guard them yet. .
(Chorus)

LOL  What the Heck was Dat?\

Urchin,

Don't waste your time with hitech...  Look at all of his posts over the last months and show me one that was anything more than a drive by trashing of his customers.  Not sure why he has such contempt for his customers but its not good and will continue to cost him and the community.  Save yourself the frustration of thinking what you post here matters since it doesn't.

OK SOB,

That was a reasonable example but I show mostly the opposite on the majority of posts.


MOOT,

I'm not so sure Urchin would agree with you by his posts.  What I'm saying is the majority of posts I see from HT are confrontational and derogatory.  I wish I was wrong but thats what I'm seeing.

it's urchin's brain that types up the posts, not the vice versa.  I know the former :)

HT says things as they are, no sugar coat.  IF lack of PC and other fabric softeners aren't present, it's probably because they aren't needed, but then again that's just my impression.  Keep in mind when he posts it is almost always strictly business, I haven't seen much humor by him, which makes sense since he is only doing his job.  

The worst thing I've seen him say was 'bite me' to some guy incessantly tugging at him with a certain complaint..
The worst thing I've seen him do to a user was banning on the spot, which he did pretty politely.
