[How do I get more plushies?]

Here are the lists of all methods through which you can obtain plushies:

• Being online or idle state in the realm, when they're given out. They're given out randomly during the anniversary
• Hosting a quest. You gain 8 + 2 x participant for all quests with 2 or more entries (numbers may change)
• Participating in a quest. You gain 5 per valid entry (number may change)
• Purchasing it from other players. Note that plushy trading tend to be disabled for a period of time after the end of the anniversary, in anticipation for the anniversary shop and auction
  • You may still bargain with other players to use their plushies. Just that no physical transfers may take place

[How do I report a bug?]

Please refer to this post and this post by Chewett, and follow the stated guidelines.

[I keep getting attacked, how do i stop it?]

You may not be attacked under the following scenarios:

• You are in a location marked as a Sanctuary
  • You can still be attacked if you possess head trophies
• You do not have any creatures
• Your creatures do not have sufficient vitality to battle
• You are in specific stages of the game (i.e story mode) that prevents you from being attacked
• You're given special ability/authority that prevents you from being attacked
• You're under the protection effect of a spell from another player

Someone may not attack you under the following scenarios:

• Neither of you are in an alliance, and your mindpower differs
  • MP7 may battle all other mind powers
• Their honor is below 500
• Alt checker has detected you two as alt accounts
  • Attempt of bypassing the alt checker may result in a ban
• They do not possess any creatures of sufficient vitality
• They are blocked from attacking via spells
• They are in a specific stage of the game that disables combat

It is up to you to determine how to avoid being attacked given these rules.

[How do I obtain and use creature shards?]

There are two main methods of obtaining shards as of now:

1. Via sacrificing creatures
2. Via using a wish to double the amount of owned shards

Sacrificing a creature gives shards based on the following criteria:

1. The creature's level
2. The creature's stats (age, wins)
3. The creature's tokens

To apply shards, visit the creature's page

• A creature may possess multiple shards, at an increasing penalty cost
• Shards will be completely refunded if you want to remove them

[Rock, paper, scissors!]

So let's start the competition!

As we have cases of ties for top position (the criteria for elimination being least wins > most loses > losing to all others performing similarly) for each individual "mini tournament", I've devised two system to keep track of performance:

1. Counting wins - including shared
2. All winners shares a point pool of 2520, divided to all winners (2520 being the least common multiple for 1 - 10, as we have 10 participants), Totaling to 25,200,000 points

In addition, I've also logged every individual face-off to determine how well a strategy does into another, so you can view each pairing performance!

Hopefully I made no mistake while translating the strategies. But as time constraint, this is as much testing I can do.

CC'ing the participants:

@Aia del Mana, @Nepgear, @Else, @Dracoloth, @Pipstickz, @Ledah, @Aelis, @Yoshi, @Kaya, @Tissy 

The tournament will be ran 10,000 times. As Chew pointed out, a larger number would be better to show a clear trend, and as the simulator can be ran as many time as needed, why not even more?

Below you can find the compressed file for the final version of codes used. It includes all player strategies, and some strategies used for testing purposes.

Without further ado... here are the top performers:

Points:

1. Kaya - 15,554,496

Wins:

1. Kaya - 6804
2. Tissy - 2779
3. Else - 2144

As there's no discrepancy between the ordering, the top 3 winners are as such. Congratulations!

I'll let the players decide if they want to explain their strategy themselves. I'll be posting my commentary (and the missing strategies) later

[I see some corpses around. People can be killed? How does someone die?]

I saw some dead people crawling around. How did that happen?

[How come my opponent has creatures that automatically heal after battle?]

I'm hitting this idling guy, and killing his ritual. Why do I still seeing the same creatures in the next battle? How come he doesn't have to heal them back?

[My Winertia is negative, help!]

How did this happen? Can I fix it somehow?

[How do I change my creature name? It's maxed.]

Can I change a creature name in any way other than upgrading? Can I change my creature name after they're maxed?

[What are all the stats?]

I see a lot of stats on my profile? How do I gain more, and what do they do?

[What are the numbers on screen when I try to move around?]

When I over over arrows and paths, I see some numbers. What are they?

[What is Magic? Inner/Outer Circle? What are illusions?]

I saw this really cool looking menu, but all the options are grayed out!

[What are spells? How do I get them?]

I saw some players casting spells in chat!

How do I use spells?

[Help! I got a token on a creature I don't want it on!]

Is there any way I can move it to another creatures?

[Where can I find more info about tokens?]

And how do I get them on certain creatures?

[What are heat veins?]

And how do I surf them?

[How can I go up to the next Mind Power (MP)?]

You can click on the button below to view the requirements:

[I lost all my resources when making something! I had a lot more than needed!]

Is this a bug? Can I get a refund?

[What are the Principles? How do I use them?]

What principle should I choose? Can I change them?

[My creatures requires Mindpower +Advance to upgrade, what do I do?]

I can't upgrade my Grasan, help!

[What are mindpower levels (MP)? How many are there? What do they do?]

How does mindpower affect my gameplay?

[Rock, paper, scissors!]

Judging will begin between 12 - 24 hours from now!

[The bard who would be mime]

send me what you want me to alter hehe

a good event should have some fine flavor texts

[Rock, paper, scissors!]

2 hours ago, Chewett said:

You likely will want to run the simulation a good number of times (at least 100 times but probably 1000 or more) to even out the effect that the random start has.

Either that or run one run for every permutation of random ordering.

1000 wouldn't be difficult. I'll do 100, 1000, and 5000 I guess, and tally up the number for each one.

All permutation route might be problematic since the current code wasn't designed to do it atm, imo. Thanks for your advice!

[Rock, paper, scissors!]

I'd also have to add, that some of the strategies might not be very easy to audit. I'll be doing extensive testing to make sure things run as intended, but auditing itself is not something I'd suggest other than for the more straightforward logic.
