Aileron Posted March 26, 2007 Author Report Posted March 26, 2007 Well, given how we are five days from the reset, and since you need about nine days to fully utilize the technique, I'll tell you the secret: Did you know the traditional bank account growth rate is an exponential function? In real life, that doesn't mean much, because it takes so long to acquire income that by the time your money doubles you are an old man. If you are a billionaire though, interest is high enough that your bank interest can be your yearly income and you don't actually need to work. In the Army system world however, interest is acquired at an hourly rate. The banks were designed for a system that doesn't have a UP cap. Thus, they normally aren't as good as a source of income as simply increasing your UP. However, this round a UP cap was put in place. Population increased linearly, wealth increased quadratically, yet bank interest still increased exponentially. I noticed this fact on day 1, and early on put a ton of money in a super saver account. That money increased at a 4% per hour rate for the whole month. If you notice, 4% per hour approximately means "doubles per day". Now my bank account has grown to about 5 trillion. Most of the people in the top 10 now have similar bank accounts. As for how many thors I have? Right now strength is limited by number of troops. Due to me suddenly getting a !@#$%^&*load of troops I have 100,000 thors. To hit people in the top 10 you need atleast 1000. How often did I long on? Only three times per day. It simply didn't matter who I hit or if I banked...my bank was always safe and the rate it was increasing made traditional income trivial. Infact, I wanted to avoid combat, because combat means casualties and casulties meant few troops for me now. Polix made an offer for me to become part of the staff in charge of this thing. I apolgize for not giving him an immeadiate reply, though I am busy with a important mid-term. I am willing to accept the position and will be ready to start tomorrow.
Suicide_Run Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 Its not like getting hit or hitting ppl matters anyways. Some of these text rpg games have land. Thats where hitting ppl is for, currently hitting ppl is just for fun and you only gain cash from hitting ppl or to hurt other's army by killing a few soldiers. And by shoving money into bank earlier, losing a few hundred thousand doesnt hurt you at all since you get millions per hr from the bank's interest.
*rc 1223* Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 (edited) It doubles per day! lmao wow edit: so its really juss who puts the first amount of money in the bank lol ahaha ima get on right after the reset at exactly 12:00 lol Edited March 26, 2007 by *rc 1223*
NBVegita Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 There is a little more to it than that...
»freakmonger Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 i'm guessing there will be a way to counter the banking system in the next reset.
NBVegita Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 It's not that bugged. Just takes a lot of time. It's a completely different strategy to work from. I mean without the banking system nothing would get done as its at the point now for the top 10 that it costs them more to attack then they can win back. So if you can't make good money from the bank you'll just have people sitting there doing nothing.
»freakmonger Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 yea but if you don't cap the UP then thats just something else to use.
Dav Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 i have been working on these line but i was slower getting started. Im at a point now where i can but more stuff then i can use due to the limited size of my army
NBVegita Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 (edited) I still don't see a point to the game. There should be a goal besides hoarding money and items. Edited March 26, 2007 by NBVegita
Titan. Posted March 27, 2007 Report Posted March 27, 2007 this game is dumb, i put like 2 mil in the bank a few days ago and left this game, logged on to see whats up and saw i had 350 mil. that is re!@#$%^&*ed. i spent it on spies and have the #1 rank with like 60 mil or something. r-e-t-a-r-d-e-d.
Aileron Posted March 27, 2007 Author Report Posted March 27, 2007 Well, first off I figured out how to solve the massive influx of troops problem...everyone now has 5000 more troops than they should. Enjoy. Actually, the bank is not bugged. Under normal cir!@#$%^&*stances its fine. The army core system is a maddening mess of cordinated systems. You change one system, you change all of them. The problem is that a UP cap was put in place. When it was, the bank became effectively overpowered and weapon repair costs exceeded income.

NBVegita Posted March 27, 2007 Report Posted March 27, 2007 this game is dumb, i put like 2 mil in the bank a few days ago and left this game, logged on to see whats up and saw i had 350 mil. that is re!@#$%^&*ed. i spent it on spies and have the #1 rank with like 60 mil or something. r-e-t-a-r-d-e-d. Nub you don't have any spy bonus lol. Oh and how come I didn't get 5k troops? I am an active player
Suicide_Run Posted March 27, 2007 Report Posted March 27, 2007 Lol, i made my account 2-3 weeks ago and i put like 50k on the super saving, logged in last week for the !@#$%^&* of it. Shows me i have a few million already. The problem I see rite now is nothing stopping you from m!@#$%^&* dumping everything into bank and boost up your defence and letting your interest from bank do the job. People were hitting me for 1-2mil per hit while my bank produces like 100mil+ per hr.
*rc 1223* Posted March 27, 2007 Report Posted March 27, 2007 yeah lol i didnt even know about hte super saver account lol juss the free account lol i wish i woulda known sooner though lmao

Nub you don't have any spy bonus lol. Oh and how come I didn't get 5k troops? I am an active player because it was stupid. i just killed them all with one attack. i sabed a bunch of weps tho. if i can get like 1000 more troops trained it will easily be 70 mil spy bonus
Samapico Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 just realised covert operatives DO NOT appear in army size... hmm and you're far from the 60 million spy bonus !@#$%^&*an... yeah I blurred some just to not reveal everything... but you can still figure stuff out by seeing the number of digits lol (just spy yourself if you want exact numbers, lazy bums)
Aileron Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Posted March 28, 2007 !@#$%^&*an's ecstatic that yesterday after losing over 1300 spies he actually succeeded in sabbing a handful of my weapons. This is precisely why I'm on top! I can replace the lost weapons in a matter of minutes, wheras for you to replace those troops would take over 500 hours. The point is you need to focus on winning wars rather than winning battles. Yes you succeeded in a sabotage, but that victory cost you dearly. In the long term, the heavy cost of this battle would affect you a heck of a lot more than it has me. Sorry Veg, I didn't notice. I was more concerned with getting rid of the bug than paying attention to who was active.
jacob hunter! Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 Ail.... begone from SSRPG!!!! just be a coder for it or do w/e to run it and keep it in check lol... since your UBER pro at this and can find the mistakes and glitches for it. LOL OMG OMG!!!! HE DROPPED TO SECOND WOOT
Samapico Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 It doesn't take a genius to realize the things Aileron points out... It all seem obvious to me
Aileron Posted March 31, 2007 Author Report Posted March 31, 2007 !@#$%^&*! That's the first time I actually lost something of worth this session. I can't surp!@#$%^&* Sama though. Right now this is all about the number of troops, and everyone has wanted to kill me for the past month. All those little idiotic raids actually mean something now. I have no qualms though. The SSCentral Gods have clearly smited 95% of our enemies. Sadly enough though, in order to become an uber-pro like myself, you need put up with losing a couple times. I got my !@#$%^&* kicked BAD in three seperate MMORPGs before becoming decent. It was the kind of instantaneous trip back to the stone age that isn't even possible in this version. What's more, if they started significantly earlier than you did, you are screwed. Not all of these things have monthly resets. If the person you are trying to face has a year-old headstart and is best friends with the guy running the RPG, you are screwed.
