Forums! The Musical

A number of people have reported strange behaviour in chat. No, I don't mean the chatters are behaving strangely, that's perfectly normal and nothing to be alarmed about, however there are some ongoing issues that we've spent some time looking at, and have as yet been unable to resolve satisfactoril...

Updated

heh, no, but thanks for playing

/me throws Stroby a handful of punctuation: ...,,,!?;-!.,

You'll have to get your own capital letters.

Joey got third? For calling me a cross-dresser? LOL, awesome.

As for whether or not to post mine, I don't really mind either way. I didn't consider it an actual entry, just a sample, but it's all good

Ahhh, yes, it said "ellipses" for some weird reason. An ellipsis is one of these "...". Fixed, thanks.

I'll make the ignore function a priority (once I get this new content in anyway), and the person involved has been warned.

Aaaaand back to the actual topic now

You left off a couple of rules:

3. Even when I lose, I still win.
4. Even when I'm not even PLAYING, I still win.

Agreed. If we make it too easy, we might as well just include a "win the game" button on the main page, and nothing else. This is a game for intelligent people - you're going to need to figure some stuff out for yourself (and remember it).

Added the following two FAQs: Q: Whenever I try to make multiples of a recipe, it says those items don't combine to make anything good. Is there a bug? A: No, it's not a bug, but it is a common mistake. When you combine items, there are two boxes, one lists the ingredients you have available, and on...

Heh, you're definitely not being stupid, but I think we can do a bit better than just adding an "again" button.

Just out of interest... what happened?

Thanks guys, very much appreciated. At the moment, things have... well, not stagnated, but there've been a lot of real-life distractions for Elljae and myself, and any time we've been able to get has been spent either going through all the great stuff on the forums and in chat, and working on outsta...

So, MasTechno pointed out to me that a mention of Paradox was made on the Jick & Skully show on Radio KoL on Monday November 17. The audio was uploaded today so I grabbed a copy and had a listen. Here's the transcript: Iram(?) says: So, you've been playing Paradox the Musical. What do you think of i...

Agreed. Basically, I'm ok with putting information that's already easily found elsewhere (eg. autosell value, attack/defence etc.) but anything that's not explicitly stated (eg. turns/stats/effects from consumption), comes under the combined headings of spading/strategy/spoilers, and I don't believe...

*deletes extra post*

Sorry about that. I'm stuck with Internet Explorer 6 on this PC, and it.. well, it just doesn't work right.

I tend to agree with dude on this one, although feel a need to point out that Paradox ALSO has multiple attack messages for different items, opponents and equipment, randomly selected each time depending on the outcome of an attack attempt. But yes, once you've seen it, you've seen it and it's just ...

Ha! I didn't know chav was an acronym. They say you learn something new every day, and there's my learnin' done, so I'm going back to bed.

SportGuy wrote:My god man, what kind of depraved life have you had?!?!

You know, I think you mean deprived... Or maybe not

And yes, Stroby, go have some cheesecake, it's tastier than it sounds.

I have an item on my list (yeah, THAT list) to add a bit more information on items on the various inventory pages, and in the case of equipment that would include things like attack and defence rating, maybe requirements etc. With regard to striking through the item name, I'm not actually convinced ...

Nothing's changed in there for quite a while, which suggests there may be a slight bug. Keep an eye on it and let me know.

Heh, already got consumption messages for the corndog and the cider, but I've added the other two.

This has been mentioned elsewhere, and there's an item on my to-do list to add a "Miscellaneous Consumables" section to the consumables page for anything from the Miscellaneous page that's also a consumable. That includes the Boo-Boo B-Gone strips and a couple of other things, and no doubt more in t...

Interesting factette about pavlovas: Did you know, they're named after Russian ballet dancer Anna Pavlova, and not, as would have been much more entertaining, after the dude with the slobbering dogs.

All updated. Except the Patience Moufet one, because even though I understood the reference, I couldn't find a way to make it sound right in the text. Let me know if you think of anything.

Try it. Without any additions it's boring as... well, something really boring, but you can make it really interesting if you put some thought into it.

Not now, no. Obviously, everyone wants more turns per day, but for now and it *might* be something we look at later, but for now, I can't see a need for it.

I'm happy that lag o'clock appears to no longer be a daily event. Joseph = collateral damage

By all means keep suggesting them. If you're waiting for us to think of them, it's going to be a while, given the enormous amounts of other stuff to be thunk about :) I'll use those three though thanks :D IMPORTANT EDIT: READ THIS FIRST! I may have previously given the impression that we need consum...

2 turns an hour? I'm sure someone said it was 2 turns every 15 minutes which, to be honest, seemed excessive. It's interesting how such a seemingly simple issue can be so controversial, and I guess there are really TWO issues, which people aren't quite able to separate: 1. Should a player's daily tu...

ZOMGWTFBBQ!!!ONE Thanks Jazzy, that works for me

Heh, thanks Reenix for bring this really out of date thread to my attention

This is from pre-public alpha stage and was just for people who didn't actually have an account and wanted to come check it out.

LOCKED (and de-stickied)

New content, and some bugfixes/tweaks.

Ok new content, some bugfixes/tweaks, and new features.

New content, some bugfixes/tweaks, new features and... I'll stop now.

Done. Random 5 stores will now only show stores that have at least one active item for sale.

LOL Jupider, that idea is amazing original and nothing like any other game. Totally :) Regardless of whether or not a section is shown/hidden, it'll still take time to load off the server. Moving stuff you don't use to another part of your inventory (or selling it), is actually pretty good advice, r...

Thanks Reenix, and yep that's pretty much right. It IS still a small game, and it's going to take time - a lot of time - before Paradox reaches anything like the kind of completedness that games like KoL are at now. The gradual restoration of turns and emptying of bladder and stomach, however, is an...

Awesome ShadowWolf. Basically, feel free to jump in wherever you see something that needs work

And you'll see it everywhere

Yep, things will become clearer. There's only two quests at the moment, but once we roll out a couple more, you'll see what I mean

Response received from Cirtex John: Thanks Stuart, I'll talk to Joseph as well Regards John Xie Poor Joseph. For anyone considering starting a hosting company, may I suggest this is rule #1: "Don't have systems administrators / ex-support people as customers. They KNOW what kind of shit you pull beh...

Turns out, HostV Joseph (who sent me the "We haven't stopped the cron service..." message) is not a liar, he appears to just be a bit thick*. Response from HostV Harry: Yes, I did stop cron and chkservd on all vps's on that particular day and then started it after removing the respective upcp and cp...

Boobs CAN be dirty.

Two words: mud wrestling

Wolf, some day, I want to meet the crazy people who live inside your head, and buy them all a round of drinks.

Alrighty so it turns out that not only do the people at HostV appear incompetent, but they're also potentially liars. See, since the move, I reported a daily load spike at 05:45 GMT. The lag it caused wasn't major, but it was still worth reporting. At 05:55 GMT yesterday I got a message from HostV t...

Yep, that's pretty much what we're going to be discussing in the dev group shortly. From a technical perspective, there's no reason why I couldn't run a scheduled task to add a very small number of turns every, say, 15-20 minutes, and reduce stomach/bladder by one per hour. For example. We're just l...

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SHADDDDOOOOOOOOOOOOW? *SOB*

SportGuy wrote:Clearly they haven't fulfilled being fully naked have they?

Haven't? No. Can't?????

I'm so tempted to demand jupider's immediately disqualification for this sentence:

"She needed something that half-naked girls reading books just couldn't fulfill."

It's quite clearly fiction. There is NO need half-naked girls can't fulfill, regardless of what they're doing

I'm disappointed it took me that long.

First off, and I know I mentioned this in chat. But well done. The game layout is extremely nice, and at least for someone who's played a few online games, any time I look for something, it's pretty obvious where to find it. Which makes it easy to start up, and that's a good thing. :) Well, thanks ...
