Nerf all the things! Changes incoming for Producer sockets in #Frogletting.

At the moment you can have an unlimited number of Producers in each of the three slots (Aquariums, Ponds and Farms). However, this gets really OP in combination with other cards.

We do not want to set a hard limit to Producer sockets, but we do want it to be less easy to have 30+ Aquariums. The current idea is the following:

• Each producer field is limited to 1 socket when you unlock the #Frogletting game.
• Every 10 levels you get a free additional socket for each producer field.
• You can buy additional producer fields for each type from the store:
  • The cost for an additional field doubles increases by 25% after every purchase.
  • Aquariums sockets starts at 250 10, Pond sockets start at 750 110 and Farm sockets at 1500 1200.

These changes will be implemented before the Ribbit expansion will be released.

Edit: initial play testing showed the prices were a bit harsh to start with and the ramping up went overboard to quickly.

The second set for the Card game is incoming! Most of the card ideas are complete, so the implementation of the card effects can start.

A few changes will be coming along with it. The "Sanctorium" name is going to be discarded. From now on the game will be called #Frogletting.

The first set will be called Spawn or Frogspawn, the second sets name will be revealed later, but the code name is LolCards.

With the release of the second set, a new feature will be added as well, the Trash Compactor. With this you will be able to turn your unused/unwanted cards into a little bit of Fortune dust.

Thanks to Chista for helping with some of the new card ideas.

Upcoming nerfs to Slotmachine & Card game:

Slotmachine:

• Chances on winning will be significantly lowered (house always wins, right? :P)
• Winning amounts will be decreased.

Cards:

• Producers: Ponds will be nerfed to add 0.2 FPR, Farms will only add 0.5 FPR.
• Significantly decrease the chance to unlock a Farm.
• Change [Hoarder] from being a Common to a Rare.
• More tweaks to cards will be announced later.

You can now view a nice breakdown of your collected Fortune from the @auth:fortune page, check it out.

A few new chat commands have also been added.

• /isitfriday
• /define <word>

The first one is used to easily determine if it is time to celebrate.

The second one will look up the provided word on Urban Dictionary and return the first definition.

The isitbeeroclock command now includes a nice beer icon.

The POLICE force has been extended and is now manageable by moderators directly from the chat. The POLICE force is used to prevent spam and give timeouts/arrest/ban turds.

Referral codes! For each member who signs up using your personal referral code you will get the following:

• A one time gift of Æ‘1,000 fortune points.
• 1% of all the fortune the member collects as a bonus.

The latter means that in case the new member collects Æ‘10,000 fortune by chatting, you will be getting Æ‘100 fortune without even doing anything! This referral ratio will last forever.

Get your referral code from the @site:referral page and get your friends to join!

New update! A big under-the-hood update mostly. The following stuff and thangs have been fixed/added/updated:

• A total of 6 Community Event buffs have been implemented. Keep your eyes open over the next weeks to see what they are.
• A long outstanding issue with the purchase of Epoch booster packs has been squashed. You will now always correctly see the 4 cards in the booster after purchase.
• The wiki-formatting has been extended/updated to properly support https-links as well as full relative links on the site.
• The icon-font is now hosted on dalines, which should prevent them from not working occasionally.
• Feed posts have an Impression counter and the original poster can view the number of impressions.
• Feed posts can now be embedded on your own site.
• Three new achievements have been added.

Upcoming stuff and thangs.

bot changes

The working of the Janitor bot will be changed. You will be able to ask the Janitor to do certain things for you:

Janitor, can you please change the theme to Dark.
Janitor, I would like my color to be bright orange.
Janitor, send a private message to Fred.
Janitor, I'm currently busy.

This is an ongoing project and might take some time to be fully ready for use.

BB-8 should become a fact-bot, which scrapes his info from the internet.

The cleverbots should no longer share the same session, but should have a per participant session.

other thangs

• Anyone should be able to see who favorited posts.
• Leveling overhaul. More levels, quicker leveling.
• Community events, this one might sting a bit as it includes the removal of the current default availability of the +4 rating. The +4 will be part of a community event which will only be available from time to time.
• The fruitmachine implementation, a great way to waste (or increase) your Fortune. FINALLY.
• Feed impression count.
• Chat ninja-edits.

Contest time! As posted earlier on Twitter and Facebook, we are holding a contest.

"Post your most epic coherent (but funny) conversation with one of the bots, winner gets Æ‘10,000 froglets."

The following rules apply:

• The conversation must be with a single bot entity, no mix between different bots.
• The conversation must contain at least 10 responses from the bot.
• The conversation can't be based on song or movie/tv quotes.

Entries must be provided to Twitter, Facebook or beseen.chat before October 31st 2015.

All entries will be verified.

With the upcoming transition/merge of the BeSeen Clones and Lithium into beseen.chat, it might be a good time to explain what is going to change for which users.

BeSeen Clones users

For select chat rooms on the clones a message will be shown saying that the particular room has been transferred to the beseen.chat servers. Your clone account will become obsolete and you will have to re-register on beseen.chat.

Once you have registered you can start using the beseen.chat -features in full and start collecting your Fortune (aka #Froglets).

The transition from the Clones to beseen.chat will be done gradually, room-by-room. We'll try to make sure the worst trolls^* stay away from this new location. Blocks are in place on Handle level, Account level and IP-ranges. You can also individually ignore people you don't wish to interact with.

Lithium users

Sit back and relax while new users join our community. You literally wont have to do anything. It is advised tho to update your bookmarks to the new beseen.chat URL.

^* Clarification

_{Personally I prefer not to have any censorship when it comes to chatting and discussing online. But some "people" are just around for trolling and bothering other decent chatters. Those kind of trolls will be struck with the ban-hammer, not the people who just argue with me (or anyone else) that have a different opinion.}
