If someone hits 3 Globes in the Slots, all nuke shields will be destroyed and a message will appear on the Latest Attacks page.
He also gets the mega jackpot(better then the normal jackpot).

But it will be very hard to get 3 of them though.

Next thing I'll do is let the one who gets 3 nuke's receive a nuke also.

You should try :D.
I've been trying it for 30 minutes now, without any luck.
But then again I was never lucky at it. Never even had 3 nukes before.

I GOT IT! I GOT IT! 3 GLOBES! I GOT IT! :bang :bang

Changed the image of the globe to a better looking one :).
The other one looked good fullsize and was funny...but this one looks better in small size.
Now waiting for the first 3 Globes :)

Do we need to post anything or do you know who hit what?

Luke
02-13-2007, 06:42 PM
A message will appear on the latest attacks saying 'someone' had 3 globes and all nuke shields are destroyed.

For now, I choose to keep that person anonymous then, though I will know.


*edit:
Oh by the way. If you ever get an error on the slotmachine, copy the error and paste it here so I can see what happened.*

I expect this will be corrected ASAP

Sure.

From now on you will see:

You win 200 Geos.
Your stake: 500 Geos.

I always am :).

Now I am rather surprised only a few people are trying it.
Either they are affraid they will get the mega jackpot, or just don't like it, or haven't even read this post :p.

Perhaps I should post in Official Games For Geos and Al-Gewaria :p

LOL! the crew dominated this thread!!

Only Wildcat and pitoh are not from the crew and posted up to now...

On a side note: I know why people didnīt start to play!

People that plays more the game has more high valuable cities. So if they find the 3 globes, all nuke shields will be vanished, and the first thing they will have to do is spend 1875 geos to place a new shield on their high valuable cities... :p

On the other hand, cityless people could play slots trying to get the 3 globes, cause they wonīt lose anything with that (only some geos).... but once they are cityless, they canīt buy a nuke to hit big targets...

(I know I just took the two extreme cases, but where is the fun if we cannot create polemic?) ;icoffee

I was thinking the same thing, unless the jackpot for winning more than compensates, which means that you can replace your shields, and still have enough left over from winning to nuke everyone else!!!!! :D

just kidding again...

02-13-2007, 10:08 PM
Really? I'll have to check. But I don't see any bugs yet :(

*edit:
You should've atleast gotten the 80% of the jackpot. Well I might have a typing error somewhere. I'll look into it as soon as I have time and also asked Shadowdani to check whenever he finds the time.*

Luke, Iīm just kidding again! See the post - the invisible "just kidding" is there!!!! It is a photoshopped image!

( I donīt want to be responsible for Luke to vanish all nuke shields cause he thought I got three globes and nothing happened, but.... maybe it could be a good idea... :evil )

Luke
02-13-2007, 10:50 PM
Ok this happened because I easened it up. Had to see if it works. Though it was still quite hard.
From now on it is really hard again.

At least we know it works....and all shields are lowered for some good action :)

How much did everyone spend you mean.
I spent about 5000 geos without success.
Probably a lot more who spent a lot.

Spent about 600 geos..

Profit of 500 geos..

So i spent 600 and won 1100.. In about 20 minutes time;)

Congrats Lex90!! You made many people spend a lot with nuke shields now, and prolly some nukes too!

(now I can see that my photoshopped image was really good... Sorry Luke! I deserve 25 lashes for the joke...)

this is what i just read from a chat i am talking now:

"the funny thing is if someone will now nuke me, just because he thinks one of my cities lost the nuke shield, when in fact it never had one..."

Luke
02-13-2007, 11:05 PM
I think it's soon time to lower both the costs of nuke shields, and nukes.

lex90
02-13-2007, 11:08 PM
I guess it would be.. if the slots can do this.. yeah..

Nukes.. 5k..
Shiels.. 1k..

Ide like to be able to nuke a city which is under radiation too.. extend the radiation..
I would also like to be able to kill all the people outside the city too.. with that second nuke then..

xorgthezombie
02-13-2007, 11:08 PM
Agreed. Back to 5000 geo nukes?

Luke
02-13-2007, 11:12 PM
Ok nukes are back to 5000 geos and shields to 1000 geos.

hhmira
02-13-2007, 11:14 PM
Ok nukes are back to 5000 geos and shields to 1000 geos.

ouch!
Iīve just spent 1995 geos to shield my only city! And it has only 13 habitants!

Vostok Station, Antarctica
Own Time: This city has had the same owner for 9 days, 1 hour, 20 minutes and 58 seconds.
This city has a nuke shield in place and cannot be attacked using nuclear weapons.
Value: 13, which means this city earns around 50.0 Geos each day in tax revenue.

any chance to have 995 geos back? :o

tHE_fOOL
02-13-2007, 11:17 PM
Ok nukes are back to 5000 geos and shields to 1000 geos.
ok I'm looking and the nuke price is cheaper but shields still cost 1995.

Sorry. That was just a visual error. When bought it was a 1000 geos.
And hhmira, why buy a shield for 13 habitants? :D

02-13-2007, 11:25 PM
For the same reason you bought one for Herkalion. So no one will Nuke Luke Puke :cheesy

02-13-2007, 11:26 PM
oh yeah! of course!!
The first thing that ODA would do when they wake up and see the shields are gone is to nuke my lonely city in the middle of antarctica, but i really donīt know why they would do that, or how do I know that... :p

tHE_fOOL
02-13-2007, 11:28 PM

because they are 13 highly trained ninjas, they can fight but aren't radiation proof

IMO, the slots/nuke shields is a shoddy way to mess with the game...

there are probably players that don't even know about this "rule" that will come back to the game with their city nuked when they thought they had protection...

and this "rule" has little, if any, relation to the game, so why was it implemented?

Luke
02-14-2007, 06:32 PM
It was played to death today and a lot of geos were invested....and someone hit it again.
Now there are 2 options:
1) It's good as it is. People are just trying it out and investing a lot, but will probably do it less in the future so it will also happen less often.

2) Make it a little harder just to be sure.

yeah, shields dropping once a day makes them kind of pointless

Luke
02-14-2007, 06:47 PM
Agreed. Now changed them from 'really hard' to 'ultra hard'.

There is one step that would make it 'practically impossible'. If we get another one this week, I'll change it to that.
Then chances would be probably 1 out of 10,000.
Meaning average invested would be 50,000 geos to get 1.

02-15-2007, 03:24 AM
I think 100,000/1 ratio would be a lot better than 50,000 / 1 ratio.

It would take half a mil to hit, instead of 250k

you simply just put in some time and watch your citys ;icoffee ;drunk

Do you know what would happen if MARS got free nukes? Well it wouldnt be good. I think this should be "MEGA hard" I mean the hardest thing to get EVER like once a month for both nukes and shields going down. But as long as poeple have a chance there will be geos in the pot.

Eh no it hasn't?
I still have my nuke shield which I bought after I made it harder.

*edit: Logfile also says nobody hit it again after I changed it. But just to be save it's even harder now. The only thing I'm affraid for is if it is set too difficult and it never happens again.*

luke make nuke shields cost more, plz, 5000 geos, same as nukes. To make it more fun.

Nuke shields should be reset every 30 days imho.

One or the other, please, not both. Making nuke shields have a significant upkeep cost/automatic chance of going down when the city is attacked conventionally might be another way to balance them.
