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.

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.

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.


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 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 :)

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.

    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
