Feel free to ask any questions you'd like, or just hang out.

If you can't make it and still want your question answered, you can post it to this thread and watch the video after it ends.

Niceeeee... why Tuesday?

Wolfram alpha?

Why questions?

TEYEYEYYE

Question:

Is it possible for you to review more of the mods and add some to trusted so they can be used in tournaments? Derfellios' new mod is for instance a great example of something that could enhance the game, but the amount of use is limited because tournaments and ladders are impossible with it.

See you next tuesday! :)

Is the 40-cap on new clans a permanent change or could it be tweaked after the first season of Clan Wars?

It really punishes new clans, should be lowered.

Truly

I have a few questions!

1) You've talked about trying to get Idle players more engaged with Classic. How is this going so far and how do you plan to improve the link between the two games?

2) Do you have relative numbers on how many times features are used? For example, how many visits does the 'recent games' get versus the ladder pages? Would be interesting to see what the average user is interested in.

3) What's the worst joke you know?

4) With your most recent update, you introduced Clan Wars. In your blog post you dedicated a section to Clan League and Clan Wars. Do you personally think that the two will either complement each other, or repel each other? Or are they completely independent when it comes to their effects?

5) You've allowed Muli to give himself the tag "Script creator" when we're using his script. Is it possible for you to implement these tags in the standard warzone environment? Muli would be "Script Creator", you would be "Warzone Creator", -B would be "CLOT Developer", etc.

6) You seem to keep track of the amount upvotes and downvotes forum posts get. Do you also track how many up-or downvotes individual players get? And if so, where is the data so we can create a leaderboard already!

7) Elo, BayesElo, TrueSkill or Glicko?

What is... the meaning of life?

How would he implement this? Would this be something that you just earn (like levels), would they be player assigned, or would Fizzer have to personally assign them?

Personally assigned by Fizzer.

Interesting... I think it would be fun to see what kind of tags he comes up with and what kind of requirements people would have to get. Tho I can definitely see him getting flooded with requests. 😱

Simple solution, dont allow anyone to request such things....

Well, I don't think he's allowed to BL people, is he? Mail mail mail

Here's a bunch of questions:

Will there be more fun stats? Number of forum posts made, number of global/clan chat messages, and general stats like longest game, game with most turns, longest tournament, biggest tournament, etc?

Will you ever change the Warzone Staff clan icon to the WZ logo instead of the WL logo? When? (or Why not?)

How much does WZ cost to run each day? Is idle a thing you just wanted to make, or does WZ need more money?

Which clan do you prefer, Funky Fizzers or Warzone Staff?

Fizzer has a blocklist, trust me :p

The idea would be to give people some recognition for the hours they've put in to add to Warzone. This obviously wouldn't be a lot of people, so they can be handpicked. There is another use though. For big competitions like Nations Cup and Clan League, someone could just rename an account that's the same as the account creating the games and create some fake matches. Sounds like a stretch, but actually happened in the past (cough, Oh, cough). A tag would make it more obvious that such a game is not created by the right account and can be dismissed.
