This is essentially the system that is ranking moulders. What nihilus has been doing is not mouldering, and we will see evidence of our crushing defeat in all things political shortly. :P . Quickitt is actually pretty well off pointswise for his current standing, and tapirus and Jorry aren't too shabby either. I think this is merely to represent how one does in the pits, not saying who is "best overall"....that would be near impossible to track. :P

Once upon a time, in the bygone era of season one Morky had a renown-ish system that, if my perusals through the archives are to be trusted, incorporated and accounted for everything that would go into a moulder's standing (politics, mouldering, pit fights, research power, etc). That's the kind of system you'd need to rank all the players in terms of MP as a whole (all its aspects), but it would be incredibly complex and time consuming.

I believe that kind of system would require a full time Packlord just to look after it... Morky? We know how much you loved doing it last time. :P

I realize all that. I just wanted to throw out kudos to a few players that I am admiring. There are other "straight moulderers" that I admire as well (BD and UtE spring to mind) - and I don't really believe I belong in the same tier as those folks either.

I have just been fortunate enough to have access to 3 APs/turn plus more when I had time to write fluff. I mean, considering many of the other folks with 15+ points are playing without living quarters... I think that it is clear that I am a brand new player with [so far] one good idea! :lol: [/self deprecation]

Morks old system was very much based on wealth and what the player held. Of course beasts were assessed and defences taken in to account, everything was given a value. it meant that regardless of how well a player did in the pits, the one with the biggest army (Stinkhair) was most powerful. The problem with this is that players went more for their ranking and it became less about moulder pit fight and more about moulder civil war.

You can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you want to watch out for, 'cause you can never predict if they're going to do something incredibly stupid.

In my opinion, the new rules are very beginners friendly, as in that if you focus on beasts and research the institute's researches and bad luck doesn't cross your path too much, you'll be doing fine. What you should not do, is going into overly difficult schemes that might cost you your life and neglecting beasts.

That is, unless you found a way to earn a lot of money without participating in pitfights.

However, I was told 'shops' are impossible this season. So the only way to earn money this season is through fights and selling things you make in small amounts. As for DLN's political awesomeness, I doubt he is that far ahead, without dominating the pits. He simply has not had the time.

As far as I am concerned, we are all still on a relatively even footing. Some of us are just taking different paths, ie: mouldering, assassinating or politicking. Some of us are doing what I am doing, and doing a mix of ideas, and just trying to have fun.

And interesting observation, those players who just try to have fun, actually do rather well!

True, but if thats the case, have not we all had 6 months? Thus, we should all be at the same level. Logic.

Im not saying it isnt, or is. I stated in reply to your "he's not had enough time to do a lot of politics stuff" that he's had 6 months. I'm near certain i've not spent 6 months doing politics stuff, but that doesnt mean he hasnt. Im pretty sure if he spent a week doing politics stuff he'd out-do whatever i've done in that field, so... yes, 6 months likely does give him an advantage in the field. Can anyone else here claim they've done 6 months of straight politics? Im pretty sure even DLN hasn't done 6 months, but he's likely outstripped most of us if he's put any effort into it. I stress again, in THAT field. Not all.

Also, why are you signed in as anonymous again? :P If you post it defeats the point of being stealthy :D

Same amount of time does not mean we are all at the same level, Arsk. Look at the third world countries in comparison to us. Look at the gap in technology and living standards. Time isn't a way of measuring one's strength. Neither is it even a constant. :P

It would be foolish to believe we are all equal. Some will find themselves weaker then others. Such is the way of life. -_-

In either case this thread isn't suggesting that the players at the top are strongest overall, as I stated before. It is merely recording who has historically done better in the arena.

I absolutely agree. But knowing the rules did not allow me to understand the breadth of possibilities. I think it was when Quickitt's and Tapirus's antics (along with finally perusing the archives) that I understood what might be done. And even then, I have spent a LOT of researches on training beasts, but then Arsk popped out offering newly developed compact trainings! I am nowhere near that! I've just kept adding brains for brainslots. :lol:

So while the rules are beginner friendly, this player still does not grasp the best way to go about things. I also lack knowledge of what beasts do what, exactly (remember when Sid tossed out the squidm troll heart and S7 arm info? That was not likely all researched this season). And I have no idea what politicking means. :unsure:

So being a veteran still gives you a leg up. But I am definitely having fun, so I am not worried about it.

You know you could always ask :P . For as cutthroat as the competition sometimes gets vet players tend to be amicable enough to give you a few tips, tricks, and words of wisdom...as long as they don't see you as too much of a threat that is :P .
