Is it possible to have enough mass to hide in a virus and then shoot it at the unsuspecting tank?
I tried, but my efforts were hampered by getting eaten before reaching 100. Then I never had enough.
Thoughts?

eloquently stated

One compromise floating around is the ability to spend any amount of energy on items, rather than in 25, 5, 10, 100, etc.

^Part of my suggestion was take the shore that's closest to the other shore.
That's closer than the whole shore.
Again, if your map is this large, the effects of the O(n^2) won't be quite so bad on average processors.

Honestly, I have no idea.
These masses look like continents. Am I to figure that you want to build bridge-like objects between your continents? (I find this metaphor easier to understand than your truthful explanation)

I'm not an expert, but all that comes to mind for me is the brute force.
Well, someone can take this and run with it.
Assuming you already have the masses separated into ... masses.
Pick two random points from each mass.
Calculate the distance. If taking one point and going North shrinks the distance AND is still on the 'mass', then do so. If not, try South. If not, try East. If not, try West.
Then do the same process for the other.
Now, this process fails if there is a remote alternative.

Perhaps consider deciding which face each is in relation to the other.
E.g., A is west of B, B is east of A.
Take all the points on the far west side of B. Take all the points on the East side of A.
Then do the "brute force" approach.
This is slightly less brute force. It takes care of the "remote area" that is actually closer. In fact, I'm not sure if there is a fault here. (Someone help wrong me! Lol)

However, I can agree that matching up every possible point everywhere is rather inefficient. (O(n^2)?) At the same time, it's the easiest and guaranteed solution.

Edit: does this shed some light? Haven't read it, but is strikingly similar.
Edit2: Planar case seems to be a curious one. It relates two points. Sadly, we have two blobs. It can't be applied directly because the masses would meet themselves.

If you're accepting "pastebin" into your whitelist, why bother? Any URL can go from there. Not to mention, "no url shorteners" -- pastebin URLs aren't very self-identifying.

Point being, there's no sense in a whitelist if users can supply their own material (eyes Twitter)

I see. So something like a Java applet. Naturally it'd have to be something that can sustain its own connection to the EE servers, then.

Very interesting.

Another thing I am not familiar with: server bandwidth.
However, if you do choose to host a "BOD", the relationship between active users and relative speed is invariably inverse.
The more folks who enjoy using the service, the more bogged down it would be.

Unless, of course, your friendly neighborhood "Developer" for EE decides to write something that patches that, too.
It'd be sad, but not 100% unfounded. Maybe 95

Alternatively, what if you DO want to teleport yourself, NOT the bot?
Your solution then isn't applicable. Thoughts?

What if you restart that plugin bot idea? It would solve the issue of "not needing 8 bots". Personally I like the idea because you could give the user more decision as to what is needed. The main could provide all the data handling (like those SDK's) making a quick "get 10 coins and crown" bot a piece of cake. Further, it wouldn't be a nuisance for the two-user limit.
Not to mention, the main also could link to a database of approved extensions (or not, just more thought)

That'd be the best m8

EDIT: Well, it seems someone's already thought it.
I don't particularly agree with a limit on who is allowed to contribute (especially if the limit is particularly few folks allowed)
GUI is curious, nomenclature is somewhat laughable, but otherwise good idea. lol

Basic information that we've had come into grasp and pass seem to be the dominant ideas here.
PlayerObjects show(ed?) the IP address. Users could choose to ban on that. Player levels gave a good indication of their dedication to EE.

Hexagon, I would see your account age and raise you a max energy level. (Or some way to determine how much they PLAY, not how long ago the alt (cough) was created)

I also agree with the IP ban. If there is a backfire, that's an issue for the world owner. Your problem is simply education and implementing. If bans become a problem, they can take action. Otherwise, they're good to go. (People can be dumb, but properly motivated, they can figure some things out.)

In whose opinion? Did we really come to this conclusion without debate?

Do you not like this thread?

Did CJMAEDER renege on his idea?
