Game TheHelper Town - The Official TheHelper.net MyMiniCity City

I don't know. I am not sure of the reason why it got banned.
 
When you say your account do you mean your account or the one I gave you? Only one person can be doing Yarolds at a time. If someone is getting banned then it is because two people are trying to do the city.

What you guys can do though is one of you work thehelper and the other kjs-corner and just transfer all the kjs-corner credits to thehelper. That way there is no duplication and the credits will build up.
 
If we can't have two accounts, we can just have a shared account instead.

EDIT: Or what thehelper said, either works.
 
You guys can share the site one but I bet it would be a problem if both you guys got on at the same time. If you both want to do it then da_skunk use kjs-corner as your city and just transfer your credits to thehelper. Leave a couple credits for kjs-corner though so the Yarolds people can return some clicks on that link.

UndeadDragon if the site account is the one that got banned let me know - we should only have one person doing thehelper city as a link. Getting Yarolds back working again seems to add almost 200 clicks a day after using all the other exchanges.
 
I made my account stop doing thehelper.


Credits dissapear so fast, I can never get enough at I a time to give to anybody. :p
 
You can get save credits if you get in a dynasty. The dynasty opens up almost double number of links to click.

Can someone run the Minivisite exchange

http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showpost.php?p=759215&postcount=26

I dont have an extra remote since my computer went down.

I am running Utopia, Autoclics, Miniville Site, Hydra and Tend My City so nobody else run those.

Utopia and Autoclics can be used by as many people as you like but the others are all locked to my account. Others using Utopia and Autoclics won't really help our cities except give us more clicks on the Utopia list but help those exchanges and the cities in them.
 
Sorry, I have been asleep so I didn't respond. The account that got banned is my UndeadDragon account. It was probably because I tried using http://thehelper.myminicity.com/? . The account that you gave me is still fine. Shall I still get credits for that, or shall I stop?
 
You are the only one with access to that account now so you should use that account on yarolds for the city. Da_skunk, if he wants to do Yarolds can use KJS-Corner and transfer credits to you.
 
We just passed 80k in population. We will probably pass idarionis late this week or early next week to move into 18th place in the US.

The growth of the various cities isn't that steady. The first cities to be passed will most likely be Ratboy and retromundi. Anything else depends on the local click squads, so give of take one more week for Idarionis.

As you can see, 3 cities are catching up: Milee's Big Sky (active again) and, as usual, City of MT and ObamaClinton 08. So, giving your favorite click/spam droids a call might not be a bad idea at all.

I am only looking at Idarionis and I am watching them with the same tools I watch us. We are currently getting around +900 population a day doing what we are doing. Whatever the other cities are doing to grow faster than us that is something that is harder to sustain. Unless they are using proxy or IP changing tools. If they are doing that it is going to be tough for us to compete with them unless we do the same then it all just loses it charm.

If we had a secret weapon you would not see it until they were right behind us. For now assume a 900 a day pop growth w/ the possibility of it moving to a 1000 once we get the Yarolds thing worked out.

The current average is closer 800 than 900. The past weeks a little closer, the weeks before a bit less. Or an average of 822.63 clicks/day since July 1st.

But you aren't planning far enough. Planning may be an overstatement, as this "game" merely consists of getting as many clicks per day as possible. No need to save your clicks for later or tell your underlings/minions to slow down. All you're achieving is help the competitors.

As you can see from my two tables above, at one point (a good month), you'll be chasing V Shens for a very long time (4-5 months). By the time you'll finally have caught up with that city, you'll already have outgrown some others. Or be passed yourself.

If they're really getting these hits through daily clicks, I almost have pity with them. I wouldn't be ready to waste my time (hours a day?) just to click on some bloody links. That's a job for a machine, I have better things to do. It doesn't scale, unless you find more minions doing more "work".

Either you have a lot of IPs you can "freely" mis-use (company, school, college, ...) or you happen to have a list of open (or paid-for) proxies, in which case you'll be getting constant daily clicks without doing anything. All fully automated. The only manual work required is regularly monitoring the job execution or keeping the proxy lists clean.

You can also ask your forum members to be nice and follow a link once a day (anyone recalls topsites?). Or try to make them enjoy popups, so they won't have to click themselves.

Same for "advertisements": the more IPs you have, the more you can spread the word about your city through your neighbours' bulletins. What's the risk? Your city may end up having a terrible accident because the MotionTwin folks think you're abusing or you may get into trouble with your ISP/hoster because you're violating the acceptable use policy. All in all, this game is one thing: spam.


If we had a secret weapon you would not see it until they were right behind us.
Not a good idea, I gave you the reason above. This isn't a bluffing or strategy game. It's just brain-dead clicking.
 
You might be right. I just did not want to show my hand too much. I don't have that many cards up my sleeve but I have a couple. Maybe it is time to throw one out there.
 
I have checked the growth on 4 of the cities ahead of us and we are growing faster them all and should be passing them all pretty soon. As enouwee said we have some people moving up on us but can they sustain it is the question.
 
Rank #18 for us now :)

EDIT: We are actually catching up to Idarionis quite well.
 
That is because we are in the top 20 now and most of the cities there are growing. We are just growing a little faster than most because we are just like that :D

We are actually growing 200 people a day faster than idarionis.
 
Thats couse our MMC is that awesome. Add a link to the MMC in the WEHZ!
:D

    Or even third party. Like if you don't have an original one in a functional condition, you cannot play this game properly. Like yeah the keyboard mods exist, but I think those are BARELY functional
  • Varine Varine:
    And since almost all of my programming experience is with defunct shit now, I figure my best place is helping preserve legacy stuff. Which I don't know how to do necessarily, but I need some kind of a hobby and figuring out how older things worked is the only shit that really interests me. Well soldering and restoration is fun too, but no one is bringing me new stuff to fix and restore, so it's mostly old shit, and I LOVE OG Xbox so much. I want to make sure it can function as long as possible, until someone can effectively emulate it at least. I have like 15 I was going to fix over the winter and didn't get to.

    Yeah Tom, me too sorry for your loss buddy my mom told me she finds out her olds friend died from Google searching them. She had not talked to one of her old friends in a year and found out she died from Google. Also another one in the same session. RIP all of them my sincere condolences Tom

    We have some elderly guests that regularly come hang out at the bar at the end of the night, and every once in a while we don't see someone for a few weeks and then someone shows up with their obituary.
  • Varine Varine:
    We usually let them do their memorials there in the morning if they want to and I'll make them some snacks and drinks. There was one guy named Tom that came in like every night and would sit by himself and get a bunch of soup and a glass of wine. idk why but he LOVED our fucking soup, like he would order a fucking quart of it at a time and would always get so sad when we stop doing it for the summer.

  • Varine Varine:
    But he also loved our calamari, which is another thing I hate but it sells super well so I can't change it. There was one day he came in and was asking me how to make it, because he tried to at home once in the off season when we stop running it and he really wanted it lol
  • Varine Varine:
    I think he's one of the only people I've made recipes for for free because he really wanted a broccoli cheddar, and it was like dude I don't have a recipe, it's just whatever I have, but here, this is how you do it
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think he ever figured out how to do the calamari in a pan though, like idk how to do that either. He was afraid of the at home deep fryers though and it's like yeah, that's fair, I am too
  • Varine Varine:
    He was just such a sweet old man, we had two servers pregnant and they held a baby shower together, he was soooooo fucking excited to get to see a baby. Unfortunately he died a month or so before they were born
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So I decided to Google some people that I had not seen or heard from in a while and sure enough one of my old best friends, we had a falling out years ago but whatever, find out he died of Pancreatic Cancer in January. I have also lost a few of my closer acquaintances from growing up the last year. Getting old - people die - I kinda thought it was going to be this way a few years ago....

    Not really clear from the stats as to what is causing the slowness.

    We get a lot of guest traffic so it may just be the load is getting too high and not from any particular source.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Looks like the server is maxed out on CPU.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Oh it looks like a lot of the traffic is Silkroad Forums. That domain isn't protected by Cloudflare.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    But the old Silkroad site is still on its own server. I just had a test site set up on this server for it.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I just disabled that test site. Let's see if that helps the load.

    Looks much better already.

    I had actually forgot about the Silkroad site. I had asked

    SD Ryoko about it and he said the couple of people left on there really like it, that was a few years ago, maybe I should check back

    I guess when you're getting old, and the last day of soup season draws near, you start wondering
