No Reset for >CLOP (and other first-game discussion)

I'm also not going to fuck with empires that much.

However, here's what I *am* going to do:

- Percentage wealth taxes on everything: bits, resources, weapons, armor. I should have done this a while back, but I was talked out of it. Once Compounds is out of beta, I'm just going to do it.
- Make it more expensive to switch back and forth from Oppression (and with the taxes, a hard bit cost might actually mean something).
- Remove resource shelters and natural disasters from the game entirely. No RNG shit, no arbitrary admin shit.
- Advertise on Derpi again once this is done.

New Newbie Guide Thread

As a few people mentioned lately, there needs to be a new, comprehensive newbie guide. The guide page itself is far too short, and the one player-written guide I know of was already obsolete when I joined a year ago. So, I'll be writing a new one, hopefully with the help of you other players. Post here what I should add, other suggestions, or anything you have that could be helpful for newbies.

Invasion FFA

Hello, I'm but a tiny player in the big silly game we call Spreadsheet Hell 2014.

Because there may still be questions, let me explain lightly how FFA got beaten, and why I really expected them to defend more effectively.

But before that, I would also like to commend Prr Wio, Life Giver, Keymaster, & Zerg; for being willing to defend countries that weren't their own at their own risk. Congratulations, I'd want you guys on my team any time.

The primary target in my attack was Eo, a Central Przewalskia that is the fourth longest active country on the server.

I observed the previous owner building statues with little capacity for defense, while being the only active Prez in FFA.

The expectation was to hit the target with a moderately large attack fleet with little forward notice, forcing the country to fight defensively until reinforcements could arrive, either creating a new Prez defense state in FFA or I would get the country type I wanted, win-win. I expected the fight to last 3-4 days, with multiple international reinforcements and had hopes that I would lose.

To increase the pressure I sent smaller attacks to related FFA countries in different regions. Selanaris, Bugfuckers, & Buckswana. The point of these attacks was to draw funds and attention away from the Eo defense.

The most interesting attack was upon Borg Storm. I knew I wasn't going to be able to take Borg Storm, but the owner is very good with diplomacy. My hope was that players with limited interest in the game would come out of stasis to donate goods, and I could expand the attack upon them while they couldn't drop back into stasis.

To my surprise, Eo fell without a fight. The forces there were split and redirected to attack the two nations that had left stasis: Foalantica & RGB Nation.

I have no idea how Bugfuckers wasn't just in stasis. Seriously. There was no fight at all and it surprised me, as I expected some basic defense against one of my smallest attack groups.

Selanaris & Buckswana defended spectacularly, Borg Storm stands just fine, and hopefully FFA has more combat understanding than they started with.

I won a few countries from it, so it was worth it from my end as well.

>clop: weapons

It would be really nice if, instead of having to buy a brand new set, you could change your weapon type (ACFU, ATFU, APFU, AUFU) via re-manufacturing. That is, you would pay the materials cost for the material that differ plus a small re-manufacturing fee.

– For example:

Build ATFU

8 Copper

1 Machinery Parts

1 Tungsten

(Requires 1 Advanced Factory)

Build AUFU (Requires 1 Advanced Factory)

8 Copper

1 Machinery Parts

1 Precision Parts

You have 100 AUFU, but you would really prefer to have ATFU. So you spend

100 tungsten + 10k bits (1/5 original cost) to convert them into 100 ATFU.

Stasis defender groups

Hey Admin, Minty just mentioned to me that outside defenders in a nation used to get kicked out if the nation owner goes stasis. Is it WAD that this isn't happening anymore?

It's a glitch, I say!

So, interestingly enough Admin, there's this fancy new idea called free shipping! It involves sending your desired payload to a specific country, but you do something disastrous and forget to fuel your ships, which makes you lose some ships. HOWEVER, your precious cargo seems to have parted the seas and is still going to the country!

In other words, I goofed on an upkeep i thought i could pay for transportation of my cavalry cross-region, but my forces in one of my groups is still going, even without the ships to support them. Is this a feature that no one ever knew about/let out in secret, or is this not supposed to happen at all? >:?

R: 41 / I: 11 / P: 3

Compounds/CLOP interaction

I know this is almost entirely in my own benefit at the moment as one of the six people who are playing, but I think there should be more direct interaction between the two games.

In the early days of Compounds, players who ascended from CLOP with a bunch of stuff started out very well.

Now that the games are completely separate, Compounds is a ghost land, and there's no reason to migrate from CLOP on over.

I'm just saying there should be more easy ways to interact. (At the moment, I'd go specifically with the T3 elements as that is simple enough for people to acquire with the current taxes, and most people can't take the two~three month slog to get to T6)

It would be a rather nice boon to use Hope or Joy to do small things that aren't game breaking, like negate rebels, spy on Clop countries, read internal information on terrestrial alliances.

With the T4 materials people could send temporary alicorn defenses (1 tick of space alicorns at a high cost), create raw energy, or the like. Make it a one way transaction converting the Compounds control of energy and emotion into a quantifiable action in the CLOP world.

T5 and Harmony could alter the world of CLOP. Shift production of types of farms world wide up and down, cause disasters and world wide boons.

Combining elements to achieve affects would be fun and add variety to the Compound formulas. Mixing Harmony, Theft, and Magic could reduce Gem Mine production by 1.

Anyone could change the production back, but it would alter the game in ways that could be interesting and spreadsheet breaking.

And parasprite invasions.

Hey admin are we allowed to reroll our nation and give someone our resources before doing so and then take said resources back after rerolling?

R: 9 / I: 1 / P: 3

war - suggestions

I keep thinking it'd be nice if troops were somewhat easier to maintain because the flash approach feels too much like a twitch strategy (not good planning, just fast timing).

I guess I feel like you should be able to make some preparations for future attacks without needing to be on constant high alert to flash troops as needed so you can avoid excess and sudden resource drain. As is, a modest nation that makes a sufficient defense will really open itself up for a second strike from a strong nation due to the cost of a single defense.

So, what if you could have reserve/active troops? Active troops would have the same cost as they do right now per war tick (12 hrs), whereas passive troops would not be considered defending but incur a per tick bit cost. If it's still a balance issue, perhaps there could some kind of activation cost so that there's a minor penalty for switching them to active.

Not sure how that would all work, it just feels like rich nations have an outsize power advantage which leads to the impression, when they attack, that they are toying with you rather than making a serious bid to create an empire.

Betrayal!

Dovesy has just brutally backstabbed FFA by attacking one of its members while he was still in the alliance.

Since this was a totally nonconsensual attack (If it were consensual, I'd be banning people), he has been removed from the alliance, which, of course, is no longer going to provide him any help. Since he betrayed them, and all.

I know, there's too many alliances out there for this amount of players.

However, I'm still doing this.

This party is completely neutral in any political faction, be it the Finite Cauldron or Lunar Clients, or the Machine Orthodoxy, or FFA, or any other alliance/player that has issues with anyone.

Trading is based on equal grounds. No one player will get more based on their alliance/position than another would. The amount of trade depends on the market value price or whatever the trade is declared to be fair between whoever is involved.

Defenses shall be sent to whoever needs them. I don't care what the hell is going on, I'll step in and help somehow.

However, there is one thing I will not tolerate, and that is backstabbing of any sort in the alliance.

Other than that, any and all are welcome to join, no matter who it is. Got it memorized?

The Clop Underground

We've had threads that only brush upon the truth eating at the heart of Clop. I've started this one to address all of the things that need to be said. Already we had the game conquered by the shadowy elite who seek nothing less than absolute subjugation once again. Think of the thread as a newspaper where I and those who share my views can discuss, for all to see, the backstabbing and plotting that goes behind closed doors.

For the first post, I'd like to discuss the dangers of a hyper deflated sugar market. With sugar at 1k a piece makes being a burro complete suffering. Others have grown wealthy by hardly having to worry about it at all, look at the top GDP producers. In a single turn they could buy up the entire 1k stock of sugar and yet they keep it low.

How will burros defend themselves when war starts? Do you not wonder what will happen when the most powerful already get their own pet Burros to wring every ounce of sugar? The game will be over before it even begins.

Who stands to gain the most by sugar being low? Already we are seeing a few standouts rising to the top. Are the villains of this game setting up a checkmate for themselves, smug that in early game 1, or 2 nations can prove unstoppable?

Feel free to post your own theories, observations and quests for the truth. This game could be made fun for all, not for the few. Do not fall within the old patterns of thinking, freedom is yours for the taking.

Any chance of a delay on that reset or some kind of in-game compensation to non-stasis'd players who currently have nations? Maybe some extra bits or bonus starting resources for the next go around?

Seeing as it takes time to build a working nation on the order of real world weeks, it's really frustrating to have to deal with the prospect of your nation being nuked out of the blue because the admin wants to "rebalance" the game or some other such shit.

=

Personally, in all likelihood I'm just going to quit playing post-reset. It's trouble enough keeping a virtual nation steady and even growing without admin doing the following:

+ -irregular- natural disasters with arbitrary negative results to add injury to insult (completely unpredictable and therefore no fun)
+ nominally out of the blue resets to correct perceived balance issues (without like a blog or someplace easy to find and read where the definite problems addressed by a reset are stated)
+ changing the rules and formulas when he feels like with no more than a vague mention of new features

+ possessing a general better than thou attitude and treating the players as personal guinea pigs with regard to the game (Just because you can and have the ability to doesn't mean that anyone likes it!)

Then there is generally having to deal with changing rules and a guide that's more than six months out of date which links to guide that's also very out of date.

Also, the resource market has been kind of dead for several weeks at the least.

Recruiting for Infinity Cauldron

Are you eager to play with other people's emotions?
Are you actually interested in playing the compounding game more directly?
Tired of sitting on the sidelines, waiting for someone else to get around to letting you work under them?
Are you willing to communicate, and ask for help when and if you need it?

Infinity Cauldron is looking for new team members, and we're open to applications. Feel free to contact Mintyrest in game or via skype, so that we can get started playing together.

It would help if you could check your account every 12 hours or so

Sequel Discussion #2: Maladaptive Behaviors Edition

(Old thread is autosaging, and no, I don't control thread limits)

Let's talk about maladaptive behaviors: behaviors that make sense to the people doing them, but have long-term ill effects on the entire game.

For example, nation building in the first game, which turns some players' activities into a weekly grind and entirely removes the need for new players at all. These unneeded new players never find an alliance, never realize that they'd do better with one, and never really take part in the politics which make the actual game.

Or the current disturbing trend in Compounds, in which one ascended player has chosen to go it alone, another ascended player has hit perma-stasis, and most other alliances aren't taking on nearly as many newbies as they could be, with some choosing to keep on perma-stasis'd members instead. Various flavors of paranoia are cited as reasons (this kind of thing is why I put in controls for who is allowed to do what).

I guess a better question would be "How do I get a bunch of friendless autists to start cooperating with each other?"

Banked resources today and war shortly afterwards.

Ascension!

Let's go ahead and put all shitposting, praise and qq related to my current ascension attempt right here, instead of cluttering up unrelated threads.

Return of the Sarcastic Errors!!!!

So, I tried to spy admin. This is the result…

Has anyone else found more snarky error messages? Post 'em! Let's find them all XD

The Drums Of War

I think I'll hit Tier 5 very shortly.

Now, as soon as I do that, I can produce Mercilessness. War suddenly becomes possible. And Admin's gone to a great deal of effort to put war into the game, so it probably should get tested.

On the other hoof, I'm not really that much of an aggressive person. I'm not going to just attack anypony out of the blue without warning, or without good reason.

So I thought about this, and I came up with an idea - to allow others to start messing around with war, sometime after I hit T5 (probably sometime this coming week) I'm going to put some Mercilessness on the market.

It will be 20 Mercilessness; enough to allow an attack against any T4 player. I'll require either T3 or T4 resources in exchange (I'm not going to specify which resource in advance), and it will be expensive. Once it's sold, I'll wait a bit, and then put another batch of 20 Mercilessness on the market, at a similar or (more likely) higher price.

Of course, if I'm giving everypony the chance to attack a given T4, it's only fair to first give all the T4s a bit of warning, so they've got time to build up their defenses… hence this thread.

Nopony had any warning before I posted this. I'll wait at least a day for people to build up their defenses before putting any mercilessness on the market…

The time has come once again, friends!

War… War never changes. The Guild of Calminous Intent, all three of them have sent troops to Our fair borders, attempting to burn out the night! But we shall not falter.

May the darkness rise, and consume our foes, guarding us in it's protective cloak.

Luna above all!

Why the new board?

As there is to be an MLPchan and Ponychan merger, and the sequel is going to be in testing soon, I've decided it's the perfect time to give >CLOP players a new home.

Can someone make us some 300x100 banners? I really don't have time as I've got a game to code.

Welcome to the Lunar Brotherhood of Steel!

Those of you new to Compounds or are just carrying over from >CLOP, I bring to you an important message:

The Lunar Brotherhood of Steel are now actively recruiting, in response to the Cauldron's (surprisingly) successful efforts to gain additional recruits. It's because of this success that we have decided to open our invitations to the public!

We hope that you are active enough to be a part of the game and help contribute to our cause. We accept any and all applicants*, for we want YOU to join the Lunar Brotherhood of Steel!

*Current exceptions are inactive casuals. Any current or former MTVS members will need to go through a thorough screening before invitation can be considered.

I'm going to remove production benefits from ascension on the Ides of March.

(That's March 15, for people who don't read Shakespeare.)

When I say production boosts, I mean the extra production added from ascending with a certain amount of goodies. Anyone who ascends in >CLOP after this will still be marked as ascended and will still have the right to make an alliance. However, even people who have previously ascended won't get any new boosts from their old stuff after March 15.

In other words, if you ascended in >CLOP, right now would be an excellent time to start playing Compounds.

Also, to stop anything stupid, I'm immediately implementing a cap of 70 on the production boost available from anything you do in >CLOP.

Hey Admin, didn't you say you were going to do something about this kind of bullshit?

R: 3 / I: 1 / P: 8
welp, since I am finally in the sequel, it's about time for another Horse News article about it
It should be done sometime in the next year :^)

Sequel Discussion

I should have something up for the public late tonight.

Not a lot, not complete, and not particularly interesting, but the sequel is starting to take shape.

Any questions?

Hey admin, just wondering, are you going to set up a https version of compounds website as well?

Suggestion for Compounds

A 'general' tab in the marketplace.

There are too many items to reliably trade in this game. If we want any kind of market scene, we need an option where ALL available trades are shown. As it is, all purchases and sales are pre-arranged through the forums, otherwise the Market is used as an element balancing mechanism.
