Stat checker reaction/ retarded speculation

This is a great week in B!H history. The stat checker is out. No more will noobs cry to random people. No more will my sarcasm fly over Sparrow's head. No more will threads saying "Where is teh statz checkas???!" be in the forum every few months. No more will those threads get turned into random flame wars (mostly cause by me).

Anyway, on this thread, post the things that will be different. Go ahead, anything. Don't accuse me of spam, there seem to be less than 5 active threads.

The B!H stat checker falls in the same category as the Y!PP third-party tools.

Re: Stat checker reaction/ retarded speculation

Hey, if people are willing to be banned by breaking the Terms of Service (Specifically rule #13) in order to find out how many lines of parlor chat they have done, it's up to them. I'd rather do something more noteworthy.

Re: Stat checker reaction.

Fascinating. The people who are the most 'worried' about Stat Checker usage are the ones who already had the SC for ages...

Re: Stat checker reaction.

I would think that with the stat checkers realease that gangs would stop offering it to members once they get so and so aces...then again not to many players check the forums.Anyone think that this could hurt a gangs ace average?

How many people can actually manage their way around the files on their computers? For example Adelisa: She doesn't even know where her Three Rings Design folder is! xD (sorry Ami :P)
Oi, Dixon, wanna go to Y!PP do the same stuff we did with B!H? xD I downloaded it <.< >.>

Re: Stat checker reaction/ retarded speculation

Fact is, no1's been banned for using the SC yet, and if the topic's been stickied for so long i guess that makes it rather ok.
Take this into account : the devs expect us to go on the forums, so when it's right there in our face, they can't ban us for just doing what a mod says.

Re: Stat checker reaction/ retarded speculation

Stat checker ruins the game and makes the game seem less fun when you know what is coming to you..


Anyone who uses it should be ban

Um... why? Maybe some people just want to know that they are getting close, rather than playing 100s of games without getting anything and then just giving up. The stat checker gives your stats in a very muddled list, and you have to work out what each code means, as well as how close to a badge each one is. It's not as if a popup comes saying "1 more game till killer badge!". You have to find the units killed and units lost line and work out the ratio yourself.

Anyway, the list only comes if you ask it to, with /stats or /s.

I'm amazed on how people are still selling Stat Checker for aces. A lot of people still don't know the SC was already full released.
There should be another way so that people know it was released already. A 65% of the active players never check forums.

There were nearly 150 people online at midnight on this Wednesday morning. I wouldn't be surprised if there are over 1000 active players. Must be the stat checker working its magic.

/Let em have it....


Note that it is rule thirteen


besides that, the fact someone said you have read ratios and figure out how much items or goals to achieve to earn the badge means it sorta makes it complexed, user-unfriendly and you have to be good with files to enjoy it (or just to see what it is) and then there's the risk of breaking the ToS, makes it un-worthwhile in my opinion

I'm certainly not going to use it

This, boys and girls, is a device we call a "calculator".

And this, boys and girls, is a tool called "Howdypedia".

It's only a risk?

Just for that? I'm not using it because of some things I like to call "ethics" and "the Spirit of the Game".

My point is that it doesn't have to spoil the surprise of getting a badge if you don't want to.

Anyway, if it were breaking the Terms and Conditions, why did they:

a) sticky the thread

b) lock the thread

c) delete the posts that were already on there

They quite liked Howdypedia (saved them having to write a long tutorial) so maybe this will appear as an exception on the ToS?

I doubt it. Roparzh (or any other Ringer) is not likely to single out a particular group of players. It applies to everyone or to no one.

Every player who broke smashed destroyed tampered with the program files, accessed the Hideout (it was originally in that windmill), joined the original Howdypedia Crew, then attempted to enter ITP and experienced client breakage. And then had Roparzh give permission to "look, not touch".
Better?

That's your reference? laughing

Alright, I've had my fair share of SC wild theories and ZOMG-you-will-be-banned idiocy now, so, let me post something concrete (that is not 18 months old):
