  1. Hello guys, I've seen a lot of back-and-forth over the game mechanics. Some of it constructive. Some of it hilarious. Egos are up in a knot and personalities are clashing. There appears to be a large amount of dissent over the functioning over the development team. I come to you with a humble solution. Make Partisan Development Lead. At first glance my suggestion might seem like a bad idea. After all: Partisan can't code. Partisan barely understands the basic banking mechanics and his involvement is limited to trying to not forget to log in every 3 days. Partisan prefers roleplay over actually playing the game. Partisan is a whackjob roleplaying a snake and there is a 50% chance Partisan will eventually try to push some impulsive selfindulgent mechanic that nobody understands in the context of the meta but everybody loves. The PW equivalent of the shiny trinket. But, Partisan's ahem... qualities... as described above (and in general) are exactly what makes him the ideal candidate. Current nepotism will be eliminated: After all, Partisan gives no shits. Partisan will be forced to listen to community feedback, because he doesn't know shit himself. Partisan's likeable ...character... will perfectly grease the inner workings of the development team. Teambuilding is of great importance in any organization; a healthy work-fun balance in company culture provides stability and improved productivity. Partisan will also write better walls of text that are easier to read. But most importantly: Partisan will take the job for you, the community. For your consideration.

  4. Sir, From what I can tell, there isn't a way to disable new feature of discord integration on the game. While it is rather unobtrusive on desktop, on mobile or when playing in a half-screen window, the discord icon covers part of the resource bar so that I can't see how much I have. This changes with the size of the window. I understand that getting people involved on discord will improve retention, and that it might work as a default add-on... but can we please be allowed to disable it? I know I won't ever use it since I use discord regularly anyway. I presume that applies to much of the current player base. Cheers, Zig

  5. Hi yall, I've been working on some updates throughout the week so here's a change log of some stuff Thanks to Alex I have more API keys now! So I've been able to update a lot more times a day as well as have better accuracy, so yay and ty! I changed the big long link above to https://tinyurl.com/piggystattracker so everyone can access it a lot easier Happy BirthWei and TJest v Pantheon stats has been added as a conflict under the Quack Shenanigans folder We finally have a conflict alliance and individual leader board! And lastly, graphs should look a bit better now as compared to the initial release \O/ (T_T Akuryo please give me a chance to catch up) That's about it for this update. Happy stat padding everyone and DM me with bugs and suggestions. Cheers!

  6. See topic title "If you've never had a job before, which I'm not assuming you three have not but there are people who play this game that have not, there are times when a decision gets made and that's the end of the conversation. Now I get that you three regularly throw your ire at me and this likely won't change any of that, but maybe if you can look at it without your usual bias you can understand. Thread's also locked as this system is no longer on the table." So I have had a job, had a few, and managed quite a few projects, large and small, and that has given me the experience to say that when a decision gets made, and everyone knows the decision wont fix what you are trying to do, and you waste resources to do it anyways. Everyone loses and people get fired. So call is yours, you can be good at your job and take constructive criticism, or ignore it because you think you know better. Its Sheep's game he can do what he wants, but don't waste all our time asking for input when you really aren't interested if it's not what you want to hear.

  7. Alex: 1.I should integrate Discord buttons to increase user retention. (that still doesn't work due to server error) 2. I should just wait 49 days and apologize for removing beige, rather than using that time to come up with a new solution. 3. I should just get unpaid volunteers to do social media on Facebook. 4. I should ignore YouTube influencers to bring more players and just focus on a solution that is proven to not be working. 5. I should ignore graphical updates and have unpaid designers mess around with my site. 6. I should hire mods for my discord channel that actually don't help new players when they have questions but magically appear to give out countless warns and mutes. My totally not expert solutions: 1. Remove discord integration. Players choose not to be on discord and having a button does nothing. Instead, create a interactive tutorial that will get players broken in. 2. Mysterious disappearances after an unasked for rash change doesn't look good. Having nothing but an apology, after a month and a half, is infuriating. 3 & 4. Pay people to promote on YOUTUBE not Facebook. The audience you're trying to reach obviously isn't on Facebook. 5. Currently the site is pretty much everywhere. Cleaning up and consolidating different pages does wonders for the mind. 6. Train discord mods. They need to be customer centric not ban hammer centric.

  11. So you're admitting the dev team's a novelty and in reality Alex/you (probably mostly you) still make decisions on your own, regardless of community pushback?

  14. From the Desk of the Streets The realest hood alive GANG GANG moddafriggas Greetings, homies! The stranges shit just happened while the gang was clappin' purple cheeks. Our main man Weird Adam Yankovic showed up! And he told us the strangest of theories. No friend. Not the fountain of youth. I don't like fountains any way. Yank! Yank! Get over here friend. I've been sitting on your theory for hours and i'm sold! It's been right under our noses the entire time. Like the moon landing! Except that was in the sky. Tell them! Hood Ame springt op het podium en krijst rare Nederlandse geluiden. Niemand zit er op te wachten. Not you Hood Ame! Leave us alone! We are trying to have a press conference here! Adam! Where's weird adam! Friends! Snorts a line of what I can only presume to be salt Sit down. You're not going to believe what I have discovered. You see. The United Purple Nations... is not alone . Exhibit A! Circles friends! The Pantheon flag centers around a Circle! Now normally a circle would be no cause for alarm friends. But! The Pantheon circle happens to be a perfect replica of the circle depicted in the shaking hands on the UPN flag. It only begins there. The UPN has gone to great lengths to mask its reserve divisions. You see. We also stumbled upon this: It's uncanny. Both "alliances" protect their members from raids. Are your hairs standing up straight yet friends? Hold on to your armchair because here comes the banger: Weird japanese names friend hopsan can not pronounce. That's three. Coincidences? No way. It's too much. At some point you have to look at all the evidence which has been stacked to the roof and adjust your viewpoints. You've got to be honest and say to yourself: Alright, I was wrong. And we were. The devilish UPN has had us all fooled. But no longer. Pantheon is UPN, and therefore Pantheon is at war with Terminal Jest. CAP 'EM HOMIES. MAIM KILL JEST. /s/ Ski mask the Leo God Hopsan Denzel Sissy For this one time: Weird adam Yankovic NO HOOD AME GO AWAY YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE SIGNATURES. Run these streets.

  17. The current autocratic regime stiffling free speech within the development team needs to be brought to an end. The totalitarian dictator Prefontaine must he toppled and with that a new era and prosperity and productivity. Only the true leader of the dev team Prefonteen can usher in such an era of explosive achievements and guide us to our future. #anyonebutprefontaine2020

  23. The names for the projects aren't good. Projects need to be institutions, not events. Police Training is fine, but National Policing Academy is better. Medical Breakthroughs is bad, try something like Medical Research Center. Other than than, solid ideas all around.

  25. I hope that everyone thoroughly considers the fact that the suggestion for Partisan as a member of the dev team got so many thumbs up reactions vs thumbs down reactions on discord that you would be fools not to hire him.

  31. You don't seem to understand, there are simply some things that are not up for debate anymore. This was one of those things. The original idea was well received, the modified one was not as can be seen in this thread. Thus the decision was made to go back to the simpler original idea. Alex is on board. I'm on board. And the game was on board with that system. That's why I put my foot down in the channel, it would have been pointless for the group to keep pushing for changes because a decision was made. I didn't want to watch people arguing with each other over something that wasn't going to change anything. If you've never had a job before, which I'm not assuming you three have not but there are people who play this game that have not, there are times when a decision gets made and that's the end of the conversation. Now I get that you three regularly throw your ire at me and this likely won't change any of that, but maybe if you can look at it without your usual bias you can understand. Thread's also locked as this system is no longer on the table.

  33. 20% reduction in casualties from spy vs spy attacks. This is not enough, it currently takes about 4 spy attacks to wipe out an opponents spies, by reducing it 20 percent it now takes 5 attacks. Seeing as you can be spied 3 times a day, that still means you can be completely wiped out of spies over a single update. So your reserve spy attack thing really makes no difference, when you unleash your new spies that took 12-15 days to build up can get wiped out again over the course of a single update, because they cant fight back. You guys have made this so needlessly complicated, if you reduce the number of spies an attack can kill to around 5 or so, this basically gets rid of most of your problem. This allows time for the aggrieved side to fight back, at a disadvantage yes, but they can fight back in a spy war.

  34. I have issued a strict warning to the user, and told them that if they do something like this again they'll simply be banned. In the mean time, if you want to stop them from messaging you, you can use that "block communications" link to block them.
