2008-06-17 |  | Dark Marauder Discussion 2 |  |
It seems the Dark Maru discussion has gone somewhat dead so I`m hear to restart the topic again.
So what have the admins decided so far about the race? Any particular time frame when you guys think it will be playable? Like maximum amount of time. Maybe 2 years tops? 6 months tops? |

99+ day(s) ago | Also, as much as historias can help kill a UW, it is also an equally true fact that there are far more BTCs and STCs floating around than historia, and only a fraction of the historias on the server will actually end up being used.
Take normal server for example. 158 historia on the server, and it is a known fact that anfit possesses more than 100 of them. There are 935 BTC and 2105 stc on the server. I`m sure that anyone with a few friends, and with a little long term digging yourself, you`d be able to scrape together the 64 btc needed to counter the entire server`s historia supply. Considering that the server probably won`t exhaust it`s entire supply on you (esp if you own some of the supply), you`d prolly have a decent chance at a explore UW if you can just freaking stay up.
Not to say an explore UW is easy. It`s not. A milion things can go wrong, esp when you are sleep deprived. But it`s also hard to stop if done properly. |

99+ day(s) ago | Thats what Im talking about,
"Even on slower servers restarting then uw`ing doesn`t take long, and if you ain`t good enough to do it, your going to get killed as D Maru, it`s supposed to be the hardest race yet o.0" |

99+ day(s) ago | FireStormZ I just checked the thread I made at the time and it was 90-100 hists |
FireStormZ
99+ day(s) ago | Lets take it a step further..
Can the Maru`s do a UW? if so they should be the only race that can change to dark maru`s after a UW |
FireStormZ
99+ day(s) ago | Thats my problem with tying the race to a UW, because of the Arti wars that happen you have to either have many people with BTC`s behind you or have a mess of your own BTC`s...
Ching, How many historias were you hit with when you last set one off on Normal? |

99+ day(s) ago | There`s no reason for anyone to be to able to do an explore UW on any server but slow...
on RT for a fact they never work, you`ll get hist`d to death long before you have the slightest chance..Same should be true for at least fast and ultra and norm, Theres more than enough arti`s around there. and since no one cares about slow...S`all good and explore uw`s don`t work.
So you`ll have to do alot more than staying up 48 hours =p |
Ragnarok
99+ day(s) ago | Yea, give it another 3 years or so, or be able to stay up 48 hours straight. =P |

99+ day(s) ago | guess my Slow server empire may eventually become a Dmaru empire given time.... |
{Ching}
99+ day(s) ago | ye if u want to keep the numbers down I think u could make it so that u can only play D Maru on a server where u have completed a UW. Then maybe have a max of 6 (or wotever admin see fit) on each server, to keep the numbers down on rt |
Ragnarok
99+ day(s) ago | then no one would bother with the race. Besides not too many UWs are successfully pulled off esp. on turnbased servers so not too many D marus to begin with (esp if UW was the only way to be the race). |
YenLoWang
99+ day(s) ago | Why not put a time limit on how long u can play D maru like 3 months or so? Would kimit the the D maru on each server i think |
Ragnarok
99+ day(s) ago | Ren, pulling off a UW doesn`t take so much skill as it involves planning, resources, and networking. If I could stay up 48 hours and be able to not sleep for more than 45 - 90 minutes, I could do it without even having to do a power UW. Only reason to do a power UW is so that you can set it off and then sleep for a good 8 - 12 hours so that you only have to stay awake for 24 - 30 hours instead of 48 hours straight. |

99+ day(s) ago | lol Ren then why haven`t u done it yet :P |

99+ day(s) ago | Ragnarok, you finally get the point !
Even on slower servers restarting then uw`ing doesn`t take long, and if you ain`t good enough to do it, your going to get killed as D Maru, it`s supposed to be the hardest race yet o.0 |
Ragnarok
99+ day(s) ago | I guess that means guards won`t get the chance to be D Maru unless they restart as a different race and successfully do a UW. =/ |
ArchAng3l
99+ day(s) ago | stephen need to manually changes race though uw`s... didnt know that.. weird.. |
Maraudian
99+ day(s) ago | missions will not affect d maru , the only way to become the race is to have stephen do it , and the only way stephen manually changes your race is through UW`s
as ive said , these idea`s are to save coding |
Ragnarok
99+ day(s) ago | personally i wouldn`t care much if guards could do it just by finishing all the missions. Only like 5 guards on normal server anyways, and the only one who could conceivably get 300 planets any time soon is deiloche. The others would likely be too lazy to try. xD |
