Illumination: I want to know if 0 harvest on veggies counts as 1 point for Test of Life ?
Illumination: and why teppy is implementing levels when we have a mine purity act that needs to be implemented >><<
Pluribus: Veggie yields are what counts for ToL
Pluribus: and ask Teppy
Illumination: im pretty sure we were getting 1 point, no matter the yield .......
Illumination: ok.....if another tower is built by someone , will their points add up ?
Illumination: from the first and the second tower ?
Pluribus: Huh? Are you asking that in a 10 tower chain if Tower three was used to grow EH and someone adds a tower if thiers will count?
Illumination: no im saying, if someone adds an a new tower, which is not poisioned, will theire now useless tower score and the new tower score add up
Illumination: veggie yields have never counted towards ToL ....many people say we get 1 point no matter what the yield is . are they wrong ?
Pluribus: Ok, well, let me put it this way, I guess you guys will just have to find out then :-) Illumination: how do you suggest we do that
Illumination: 1) total score is updated only 1 time a week 2) we therefore have no way of knowing how many were grown *before* the poison 3) we therefore have no way to know if our growing is doing anything
Illumination: unless you know some magical way to test for current tower score Pluribus: I see you see the fun of the ToL...
Illumination: ........
Pluribus: Hint: Agree/Disagree with me all you like, but your not growing any veggies...
Pluribus: You make whatever inference you want with its impact on ToL
Illumination: one person with 13-15 herb seeds can posion every single line thats out there at the moment
Illumination: the *puzzle* to figure out how to fix it is zero feedback , so we are just randomly testing stupid things
Pluribus: with only 13-15 seeds, it is unlikely that somewone will find even one tower that they can grow at...
Illumination: but you get the basic point ><
Illumination: so far we have 3 lines down
Illumination: and , lucky us, we have absolutly no way to use the legal system to stop it
Illumination: we can pass laws untill we are blue in teh face, but who cares, teppy is coding for tale 3
Pluribus: Well technically, assuming that this hypethical person HAS towers on all lines he only needs 5 :-)
Illumination: what ?
Illumination: explain what you just said i swear its important
Illumination: ^_^
Pluribus: There are only 5 lines in all of egypt
Illumination: there are way more then 5 pumps
Pluribus: if you say so...
Illumination: i see 17 listed as built on teh wiki
Illumination: and what do you mean if the person has a towre on the line, are you suggesting someone on our line is the one who poisioned our tower ?
llumination: and what do you mean if the person has a towre on the line, are you suggesting someone on our line is the one who poisioned our tower ?
Pluribus: I suggest you research how EH works first :-)
Illumination: ><
Illumination: by research you mean go posion more lines
Pluribus: Since you dont seem to even have the mechanic down
Illumination: well
Illumination: we can only go off of observed effects and so far
Illumination: we notice that only the towers downstream are poisoned
Pluribus: Ok, now how do you know where you can grow?
Pluribus: can you grow EVERYWHERE?
Illumination: we can grow everywhere, we just get 0 yields at the poisioned towers
Pluribus: And how do towers get poisoned?
Illumination: as long as we follow the basic rules of onion -sand cabbage - grass and stuff
Pluribus: or is that a mystery?
Pluribus: if its a mystery FIGURE IT OUT!
Illumination: we assume it happens when somone useses EH on the tower
Illumination: is that assumption wrong?
Pluribus: Ok, confirm or deny that assumption first. It is obvious that you DONT know how the skill works, so I suggest you figure it out before complaining that it doesnt work
Illumination: what happened to the days the peasents could just storm Frankenstiens Castle because they were scared and confused ><
Illumination: but
Illumination: is there really and ethical way to do the reasearch, if useing the skill causes damage
Pluribus: Does it?
Illumination: we are getting 0 veggie yeild.......isnt that damage ....or are you suggesting another, better effect is now in place, and we just dont know it
Pluribus: ALL research needs to push ethical boundries when your dealing to pushing the limits of science :-)
Pluribus: Your reasoning is flawed, just because you get a zero yield, tells you nothing about WHY it is zero
Pluribus: nor does it tell you HOW it got to be zero
Illumination: so your suggesting its very possible EH isnt making it zero
Pluribus: Query: Did the players close all the mines of egypt and bury thier heads when EM came out? or did they TEST it?
Illumination: and that it would have went zero if EH was never released
Pluribus: I am suggesting that you dont know the mechanics of EH and should research it :-)
Illumination: ok
