• Lord Door Game

    Pretty sure I found a way to game LORD. Not sure if its a bug or not. I think I could probably be number 1 forever now but theres only like 3 players. Why don't people play this anymore?

    i found a way to get virtually infinite forest fights. its not without risk but it allows for xp grinding and making lots of bank.

    Care to share? This has piqued my curiosity :)

    i think i actually found the culprit in grabbag.js:

    if(user.is_sysop || dk.system.mode === 'local') {
    // allows for sysop to always
    // be able to play for testing IGM
    // player.sex = 'M';
    // remove this, it is only for testing M/F
    player.forest_fights = player.forest_fights + 1;
    player.hp = player.hp_max + 1;
    b.can_play[player.Record] = true;
    }

    i am the sysop on my instance so this does feel like cheating :(.

    Ah gotcha. This is the jsdoor version of LORD, the clone of the original game. I thought you meant the original game :P

    I blame people not having local BBS's to log in to and we don't
    'know our neighbors' anymore...

    People still play multiplayer games online all the time (they're just different forms than BBS door games). I doubt physical distance has to do with it. I think it's just that there are far fewer people using BBSes these days than there used to be.

    That and every BBS has exactly the same games on their boards. No matter where you go, Bran the Warrior WILL get ya!

    I don't really see the issue with some door games being common on many BBSes. I think that could actually be a good thing - That means if a user runs out of turns in the game or runs out of time on one BBS, it doesn't mean they have to wait until the next day to play it again. The user could go play the game on another BBS that has that game installed.
