The Helper map, part 2

Not really. You work around it. Call it the Forum Map. The concept was, originally, to make a map about a forum, right? It doesn't HAVE to be THE HELPER forum...

The Helper = Root Admin
Admins = Admins instead of named admins
Mods = Mods instead of named mods

Or make up names. Use YOUR names instead of the admins/mods of TH.net. If TH doesn't endorse the map, you can still use your OWN names, we don't "own" them or anything.

Wanna know a great proverb?

If the door's locked, try a window.

That's completely retarded. You said you want to make it just like TheHelper forums, yet you make you and your other map-making buddies (who all have pretty much no status here) more powerful than the admins? That's about as stupid as me putting in a code that gives me infinite gold if I join a game I created. :rolleyes:

omfg! You call me "no status" WTF!!! you are :nuts: Btw, I'm a GM :D
 
Yeah. About that. I read that. Can't say I liked that.

People who create ways for themselves or characters made after themselves to be better in games are only one step above people who crack open maps and create cheats for themselves. If you want your game to be good, REALLY GOOD, then make it the way it should be... Fair.

If you guys still think you're going to create cheats for yourselves or advantages, than you may most certainly count my name on the "Do not use" list :) If you wanna be fair, I'd still like to see some more work before I say yes.
 
There must be no disadvantage/advantage for each player. Else the map is going to be stupid.
 
I don't know if this is on the ideas list or not, but anyway... I suggest using some sort of save/load code, and, as many peoples suggested here, everyone starts from 0. Personally, I wouldn't like to start with an advantage. I just want to work hard to gain that 'rep'. About the reward for making the map, that can come in other ways, but not under the shape of the in-game advantages.


About some work to show, currently, the map is at me, but I cannot work on it, and I don't know who to give the map to, so someone can actually work on it, cuz Nika isn't online (he hasn't been online for a couple of days...), and I am clueless about who else could work on it...
 
Did NiKaNoRoU_GR need anymore spells or I can stop now? I'd really like to continue but....I don't know if he needs anymore.
 
Yahh!!!! I only logged out 2 days and you replied much -.-

I know.I never thought of including prod/cons on each member :p

But, I may NOT include us as GMs, it would be rather rude, as Seth said, since the map kinda represents TH forum (but not 100% :p )
ok...
i will explain more clearly(which means i have to type slower...)

so the helper and the other mods and admins are having an arguement which turns out to be a fight. then we have to stop them from killin each other so the neither the helper or the admin or the mods die...(if the helper die the game will end coz no more the helper to support the helper net and the mods and admin are in a team) the aim for these mini game is to kill as many possible creeps that the helper and other mods are sendin e.g. the helper sents rayquaza to battle(only one becoz there is only one helper) and the mods send like Rabarber to battle and keep sendin until it kills someone... and who ever helps to kill the creeps(forgot to add this in- by the mean of sending it means sending like 20 of rayquaza to battle and 40 Rabarber) the helpers creeps are more stronger but less ppl and the mods creeps are weaker but more ppl (they are all rangers) and the reward ... u should know by readin the one before this

Nice one :)

Ok, then, your staggering attitude fleched me again; I'll remove the GM thing :p

Good. I think it'll improve the map if it's more closely followed to how TheHelper.net really is.

With that said, if you DIDN'T call the map TheHelper.net and instead just called it "The Forum Game" or something, you could fully well make you and the other map-makers more powerful. You could just call yourselves the admins and it wouldn't matter, because you're not actually basing it off of anything.

If some of you are still against my way of thinking about the situation, here's a "nicer" comparison:

You make a campaign-like Dragon Ball Z map. Now, it's supposed to VERY closely represent the real anime. But, because Krillin is your favorite character, you make him more powerful than anyone. Like, Krillin can beat Super Saiyan 3 Goku in a fight with one hand tied behind his back. Is that at ALL faithful to how the show really goes? No, it's not.

Yeah, I just made a DBZ reference, don't kill me. :p Slightly off-topic: analogies are fun....we should have an analogy contest or something.

You didn't have to explain it more since I deleted it, but thank you anyways.
Analogies contests?
Maybe...

It wasn't really to you, but more so to people that are like "OMG U R SOOO MEEN THAY MADE TEH MAP DEY SHUD GET SPESHUL TREETMENT!!!!11"...

Or maybe I just like making analogies, who knows....

oh, since many think you are mean...I just think you are strict :)
 
In this case, he's not strict, he's simply right.

People who create maps and then put THEIR favorite characters ahead of any one else's are basically cheating. Sure, maybe anyone can pick that character. But then those people are cheating, too. That's why not a lot of maps ever get big :rolleyes:

I know, I said him to be strict about main opinions :)
Again, I would like to know, Seth, would you grant me permission to use GH in TH map?
 
In the thread you asked me the first time, I gave you an answer.

Yes, I would mind. You've yet to even get my permission to use my user name in the map :) I am still waiting to see some more work to be assured it's WORTH giving permission to.

I would also like to know HOW you plan on having GH in it. Some embelishment on that might push my answer in your favor?
 
A fun way to make yourself feel like you have an advantage is to add in little stupid things, like Godspeak.
You: -gs Muahahaha
Game: Muahahaha
Ya know? Insignificant, insubstantial things that don't really affect gameplay :)
A good idea though is (since you're using a save/load code, I'm sure you can do this) is to have a banlist that only the 4 pawnages can update. Would this work?

Anyways, you signed me up even though I'm not a SM. :D
Maybe I should be the doorgreeter or something insignificant? :p

Um, I don't sign up just SMs.
I sign up people the pawnages like, and are active here ;)

    A probate is usually done with a will, yes? If so I am sorry for your loss

  • The Helper The Helper:
    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....

    Forum running super slow again
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Not really clear from the stats as to what is causing the slowness.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    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.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Looks much better already.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I had actually forgot about the Silkroad site. I had asked
  • The Helper The Helper:
    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
  • jonas jonas:
    I guess when you're getting old, and the last day of soup season draws near, you start wondering
  • jonas jonas:
    will I make it to the start of the next season? or was this the last time I'll ever have my favorite dish?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am doing my first Vibe Coding project. In installed the environment and tools according to instructions but it is all chat doing this for me at my direction. It is fun really and holy shit I might finish in 2 hours what it would have taken a day to in my Access and this would be an electron app complete new

    Good stuff.
