PostForum: Banned accounts   Posted: Wed Sep 22, 2010 1:00 am   Subject: Why my account has been banned ?
I don't care my last ban (deserved and appreciated), I care my post locked (censorship).

I think there is someone who is judge and jury here.

Ban me, lock me, don't worry I'll let you run and manage your little dictatorship.

Thanks again, I won't lose my time any further.

PS: Yes I have mistaken sites for clicks with a site only for fun.

PostForum: Suggestions   Posted: Tue Sep 21, 2010 8:15 pm   Subject: Multi-IP mode
Here is a suggestion.

Imagine you can change your IP during the day. Then you could virtually click all the same links again (clicks for games will count).

Why not allowing this in Yarold?

I mean, if you could click say twice some of the same links - using 2 different IPs - then you would gain more credits, then you could show more links in return, and so on, so that all the community will get a benefit from it.

What about scoring?

Same as now.

What about rankings and contests?

If there is a Multi-IP mode AND a Single-IP mode in the Profile Options, then one could simply double the contests: some for the Multi users/dynasties, some for the Single users/dynasties.

No there would not be 2 Yarold instead of one. Between them all users would still be able to click each other's links, or to ally with each other.

What will happen?

For Single-IP users, Yarold will not change, except there will be more links to click from the Multi-IP users (who may click you back more too, etc.).

For Multi-IP users, more IPs, more fun! AND MORE CLICKS = good for Yarold activity

Twice more contests = twice more chances to win = more interest in playing Yarold

Could be organized a poll to know how many members can use more than 1 IP during the same day? (and are interested in being able to click the same links more than once)

Thanks for reading until the end ;)

From the new year dynasties compete for highest MinMemAvg.
And a rule: minimum dynasty size is 15 to participate.


I don't mind changing but I have some major objections about this contest change.

First of all, the MinMemAvg value is currently computed over all dynasty members who are not peasants. Therefore it can be easily and artificially increased by demoting peasants as many members as necessary. (see for instance RMV MinMemAvg that is 438 today and that will be much greater tomorrow)

Actually, the more members will be peasants (to the extent of all but one), the higher will be the MinMemAvg: does it make sense?

Second, even if the MinMemAvg computation is changed so that all members are taken into account, then the best strategy will consist in keeping only the 15 best members in the dynasty and kicking all the others out: is that what is expected?

Third, the MinMemAvg value is currently computed not over the last 21 days but day after day and is equal to the MinAvg average over all current non-peasants.

That means that regardless of what can happen during the whole month, everything can change on the very last day of the contest. You just need to gather on the last day a best team of 15 members which will have on this special day the best MinMemAvg possible. I have no doubt there will be such last minute dynasty moves.

Again, does it make sense to award a monthly prize for a 1-day performance?

Jeanne ;) had the idea of this contest. Here is how the Moblets can win if the rules are not changed: 1) wait for January the 31st 2) demote peasants all Moblets but Jeanne 3) get your MinMemAvg equal to Jeanne's MinAvg :)

Again no argument given...

Maybe "nothing is working" in your dynasty, but in Real Mini Village everything is working very well!

Btw it was not my dream, I preferred the SumAvg system - easier to calculate, simpler to understand - but there were many complaints against it.

People are fleeing dynasties and Yarolds


You were saying exactly the same before the last update...

Now some facts: "183172236 (clicks) since 2008-07-12 ", that makes about 383,000 daily clicks in average. This morning at reset I saw 360,000 clicks done, not bad for a Sunday and not much less than 383,000 anyway. If as it seems there are much less registered members, that is actually a great performance.

I would like if Stan could give the exact numbers of clicks done everyday since 2008-07-12, and we would see if the last update had a negative impact or not. I don't believe so.

Jeanne's SumAvg = 3231. Did you click and were clicked that much before the update? You didn't reply that one... Face it Jeanne: you have way more clicks to do now :)

Wow... This is just a big no. Imagine 10 people with 100 credits each, 5 have 10 valenth links and 5 have 1 myminicity link... In total each does 55 clicks with each link receiving 10 clicks... the valenth users are down 45 credits and the myminicity users are up 45 credits... The myminicity guys look bad cause they are sharing 1 link, the valenth guys are angry that they have lost so many credits so they lower their # of links to balance themselves while the myminicity guys don't have more links to balance themselves (unless they actually WANT to put that effort in of sharing 9 more links to balance everyone).


This example is somehow silly. Of course if you consider 10 members and 1 MMC link, that link will receive no more than 10 daily clicks... no surprise!

Now here is the right example: 11 members with 10 credits each. Members with 1 MMC link will be clicked 10 times while members with 5 Valenth links will have each of their links clicked twice, that is 5 times less as I first wrote here.

You added then that you cannot receive more than 300/400 clicks on your MMC link (more if you show in Main, isn't it?), in this case you have no interest in clicking more than 300/400 links... so I don't see where is your problem!

We are all supposed to be here to have our links clicked, that is the goal to achieve and in order to do that we are supposed to click as much as we want clicks back. That is also what the new scoring system is supposed to reflect: how many exchanges are done.

If you click more than you can receive, that is useless for you as you mentioned. Why would you be rewarded for that? Nothing illogical here to my view.

As you stated, there are other ways to have a MMC link clicked, so I wonder why you've been on Yarold for so long if it's not to have yours clicked here...

The answer is maybe because you like to click, in this case why not add some links to your account to allow the others to click you as well in return... that seems sound to me.

"Limit for donations have been reached this month, it will be reset at 1st day of next month."

It appears that this limit is not individual but over all Yarold members.

This means that if a few members buy everything up to that limit at the beginning of the month, then at the end there is nothing left to buy (like a VIP status for instance) for the others.

This doesn't look fair to me. Limit should be individual.

Late answer(s)...

Quote:
LOL Marga - you should ask Bruno since the system is his idea, thank you for showing him that it is not just plain to understand for everyone :razz:


Some are blond, some don't want to understand, and some both... :)

Quote:
Some members come here with 1 minicity link. Others come with 5 Valenths links. To make an even exchange the minicity link holder should make 4 fake links? Is that fair to ask of anybody just to fulfill your dream of an even exchange rate?


No, each Valenth link is simply going to be clicked 5 times less than the MMC link.

Quote:
All those receiving more clicks than they click, to balance, would have to show less links!! Those that can click more than they receive, still havent changed (the credit hoarders).


They are now encouraged to change. The old system, based only on the clicks done, did not encourage at all link showing. So I really don't see why there would be less and less links shown now and I don't share this feeling.

By the way, remember that the SumAvg (Done+Received) scoring system has been rejected because it would have made money rule. Now, with the MinAvg system, indeed crazy clickers are not rewarded if they are not crazy showers too.


Quote:
Marga: The score system say you only get score for the lowest number of your clicks done/received - so if you show more than you click you are loosing credits but yes feeding your dynasty and allies


Not only feeding the others but also balancing your dynasty clicks, that is showing links that your members don't show...

Quote:
Therefore, even though I have the credits to support more links, why should I show more links than I can click? I'm still waiting on an answer for that one. ;)


Nobody asks you to show more links than you can click, unless you want to have your links clicked more and that you buy credits for that, or as I just wrote if you want to balance your dynasty clicks. Again remember we have switched from SumAvg to MinAvg to prevent credits buyers to be ranked at the top.

Less and less links shown and less and less clicks on Yarold? I don't think so and I would like some facts (dis)proving this.
(RMV SumAvg is about 80000 and I'm pretty sure we didn't click and were clicked that much before the update)
(Jeanne's SumAvg is about 3500 and I bet it was not that high before)

Exactly like VIPs, non-VIPs can show some extra links from time to time, simply by adding/deleting them from their account...

So they can receive as many clicks as they want.

The new scoring system says: "be clicked as much as you click".

It is easy to understand for anyone.

Either you care and try, or you don't care and you can build up credits and complete less link exchanges. That is your right too. But sorry you cannot anymore build up credits AND be ranked at the top. Just because this kind of behaviour is against link exchange. It is moreover cheap and selfish ("I wanna click tons of links but I won't show mine").

As you gave no further argument, I maintain that the size argument is pointless regarding the clicks balance (i.e. the subject of this topic). Each member is individually concerned. Dynasties are concerned too, whatever their size, if they feel concerned about it.

Regarding the competition, the new scoring system is not to blame as it didn't affect much the rankings, did it?

Now if you'd like a competition where all dynasties have the same chance, why not but this would be the death of the large dynasties and for sure nobody would accept and train newbies anymore. Is that what you want?

Regarding my graphics, nobody forces you to watch them. You're talking about having fun, but you're talking about competition too. Graphics are for those interested and having fun in the competition.

Well the numbers are not surprising.
Unless you are in a dynasty with 55-60 members that actually has a chance to go somewhere ....


The dynasty size argument is pointless here. As everyone can see, there are big dynasties with negative (gained/given=received/done) balance and small ones with positive balance.

I really don't know why you're complaining all the time about the big dynasties... what are you waiting to make yours grow if there is an advantage?


Quote:
why bother about score/balance?


Because it reflects the fairness of the link exchange process.

Quote:
Why not go into a clicking frenzy and build up credits?


Because this is nonsense. Built up credits are totally of no use as far as link exchange is concerned. Credits are made to have links clicked and nothing else.

By the way, note that if you build up credits, you don't show your links and you prevent the others from clicking you frenzy... and then they cannot show you their links in return. Therefore, building up credits is blocking the link exchanges.


Quote:
For most dynasties there's no incentive to even try and balance the score.


What are they waiting for? My graphics can help them to realize how they are doing good or not, if they should show more links or not. That was my purpose and my wish is of course to make my allies balance their clicks done and received, for our common interest.

Quote:
Not to mention the many who doesn't understand the system.


Maybe this forum is a good place to explain it? Or you could send mails to your members.

With the new scoring system balancing clicks done and received has become a new issue for individual members as well as for dynasties in order to raise their MinAvg.

Ideally there should be as many clicks received than done. More clicks done and the Min(imum) is then equal to the number of clicks received. More clicks received and the Min is then equal to the number of clicks done.

Here are graphics for the top 16 dynasties showing the daily difference between total clicks received and done. Positive value means too many clicks received while negative value means not enough clicks received.

RMV and La Brute have no intention to make a monopoly and to dictate the other dynasties what they have to do. We just ask not to be told what we have to do.

DaBabes first said "the last forum who provoked us into dropping them 'for that reason' (negative links) has since lost from a presumptive number #2 to #6" then "I could stay here and throw our support behind your competitors".

So I wonder who is provoking the other into forming a coalition against the other.

If Net Freaks! plans to do everything against RMV, they have to expect a reaction, that's all what I meant.

I answered your mail by recalling our gained/given data, which are currently:

Allied NET FREAKS! dynasty (562946 gained 551982 given )

That means RMV showed Net Freaks! 10964 more links than conversely.

That also means your request to "work on our negatives" is totally pointless. (I repeat myself: 10 negatives are only 10 unclickable or already clicked links, while we show you WAY MORE extra links)

Start working on showing us more links (we don't need your credits we need your links), then maybe we will pay attention to your wishes.

Until then I call them interference. (or whim or caprice)

I don't second all the negative comments made on these two volunteer mods who are Sora/iFly and Hippies_Son.

Age doesn't matter, ability does.

I don't know Hippies_Son but it seems he did exactly what Roman did already once by mistake. (tell me if I'm wrong) And I don't remember that Roman had been lynched for having deleted numerous short notes. Why are you so harsh now?

As it was said, mistakes are human. Not to realize his/her own mistake is more to blame though, I agree.

Regarding Keith/Sora/iFly, I'm surprised to hear he is only 13, but for good. No doubt he is more clever than most of the 13 year old boys that you got to know.

Yes he can be annoying and yes he has been banned several times from some IRC channels (including from #rmv by myself), maybe because he is used to say what he thinks... Gifted kids often have the same relationship problems.

He did no harm as a Mod so far, he just started. So please give him a chance to prove his ability and don't judge him before he did anything, thank you in advance.

You might try to drop RMV, then La Brute would drop you, then we would see who would be #6 :razz:

More seriously, what happens when some Net member becomes negative? He/she is refunded. I prefer to show 100 more extra links of mine than transferring 100¢ to have a bad clicker's link clicked. Note that in both cases the alliance can get the links/clicks, so why do you complain?

Moreover, when you claim that a negative could be replaced by a better member, that is just a dream: such a better member doesn't really exist. (otherwise you'd be 60 good members in your dynasty, wouldn't you?) There will be some negatives anyway, you cannot get rid of them, unless you feed them again and again... (that because it's not a zero sum game = unless you buy some credits you cannot be clicked as much as you click ; as a consequence there must be some negatives all the time ; an alliance of 400 positive members is an utopia)


Quote:
Do you ever give any thought to where your member's credits come from?


You don't need credits to become a top dynasty (otherwise you'd be #1 already), you need link showers - members who make credits circulate, not members who build up a virtual - and useless - treasure. The more links are shown, the more links are clicked, the more links are shown again and so on. That is more important than "staying positive" - which discourages link showing and encourages credits saving - and that is the way to success. (That was already the case with the old scoring system and is even more effective now with the new one.)
