New Stuff For those keeping track of how many forums they pwn in a row, there’s now a new sub-tab on the Forums tab under bookmarks that lists your previous 50 visits as well as whether you pwned them, and how long it took you. There are now pistachio scoops rewards for those who pwn more than 12 in a row! You will now receive 6 pistachio scoops for 16 in a row, 8 for 20 in a row, and 10 for 24 in a row. ...
Changes We’ve decided to retire the “Worst Gamblers” leaderboard and E-Peen(tm). Unfortunately it was very expensive for our server to calculate. It was brought to my attention that the Nexus Warriors were in fact the first people to perform a vanilla raid in Forumwarz Domination. Since the Sisterhood of the Quivering Rose klan did it on such an impressive scale (twice!) I decided to award both Klans the E-Peen(tm) and change the description slightly. ...
ForumBuildr Updates You can choose to pass on submissions you don’t feel strongly about either way. Players now have a ForumBuildr score, that will change based on the quality of their submissions. Everyone starts at 0. You are now limited in how many submissions you can make in a week. A higher buildr score increases this. Smaller Things Vitals now always show up on your profile, even if it’s disabled. ...
New Stuff We now list active threads on the flamebate main page. Domination Archive page now has a drop down of teams. There was way too many to go through otherwise. Bug Fixes We shouldn’t end up with a super-sized medal team in domination again. I know I promised it last week, but I mean it this time! :) If you try to deploy the XSS attack in a forum where you can’t, you will no longer be charged a forum visit incorrectly. ...
New Stuff Klan Forums - Each Klan now has a private flamebate forum for their own secret discussions! We’ve expanded Flamebate into many more categories. We’ve also added tons of new topics, so feel free to get new discussions started guys. We want to keep this awesome community going :) There’s been a large effort to make the game more accessible to players using screen readers. A lot of the images that weren’t properly tagged now are. ...
We’ve upgraded to a much faster server. Even with a RAM upgrade our old one just wasn’t cutting it under the load of thousands of active users. There might be some weird behavior while the DNS records update. Please let us know if you experience anything strange!
Today we have some small Forumwarz Domination changes: As the game gets more competitive there are now more teams for medal holders. Secondly, in the event of a large tie (over 5 people), no medals will be awarded for a category. This is to prevent large noob groups of non-players from stealing all those precious medals! We’ve also elected a new Moderator for flamebate: n00b65. He should help us get rid of some of the crap in there :) ...
Did a large overhaul of the battle code. It should fix a lot of bugs that previously messed up your battles. Also, a new and awesome feature is the ability to refresh the battle without losing your progress! If you receive any kind of error during battle, it will pop up a little link in the bottom right that allows you to refresh the page. There’s now a warning on the Wiki that vandalism won’t be tolerated. Also, we added the option to revert to older versions of pages. ...
We installed some more RAM and the server seems to be running a lot more smoothly. Thanks for your patience during our growing pains. The E-Peen(tm) for Sweet Sixteen should now be working properly. Also I think I sorted out any bugs related to pistachio scoops in Forumwarz domination. Unfortunately Sweet 16 is not retro-active, so if you already did 16 different forums in a row you won’t be rewarded appropriately :( ...
Added new E-Peen(tm)! You’ll get some for pwning 16, 20 and 24 forums in a row, although there are currently only 19 forums. We like to think ahead :) There’s also new E-Peen(tm) for our Friends of Forumwarz. I’d like to interrupt these site updates to thank all the people who have bought our brownie point packages to help support Forumwarz. We seriously appreciate it :) The introduction has been altered very slightly for those who are pissed off at receiving Jimmy the Re-Re as their class and avatar. If they try to bail we now explicitly tell them that they will be able to pick their own class eventually. ...
