Paperclips

[grumpyoldjanner]

Thanks for introducing this game to my life, not like I needed to sleep anyway

400k yomi, may have gone overboard.....

156 million drones

 

Unfortunately 13 bill killed by drifters, I left work before I had combat, so drifters killed everything

I think I ended up with quadrillions killed in the end, mostly by drift. Don't sweat it, just adjust the points so that they're quicker and more powerful in combat before you send them out again. Also prioritise replication, so you don't have to do it yourself.

[grahamc]

thats what I have done..... numbers, like ants!

Nope you will need that and them some.  Grab a million if you have time as it will be useful.

[grahamc]

Found that out...... trust is at 50 and everything is going up exponentially now..... do the drifters ever actually die off?

[Ekona]

Oh yes.

[grahamc]

good news!! The little buggers are replicating like rabbits!

[grahamc]

hahahaa

Mines seems to have stopped doing anything once I got to the swarm computing  Not sure if its meant to do this or If its crashed and I'll have to start again. Even if I close it it opens back up at the same part

I'm on my 3rd time round

 

Now on universe 2 / Sim Level 2

 

I just leave it on all the time - not worried how long it takes when resources build up I click a few buttons and leave it again - no points for speed

 

This was the end of Universe 2 / Sim Level 1 (my 2nd time round)

 

 

 

It helps pass the time between call outs - and I had a call out at 10pm last night

How did you make a dent in the Space Exploration %? mine is still at zero (and I have a heap of Trust used on Exploration).

[Keyser]

Ignore it - Load up self replication and hazard bit in combat maybe 2 in speed if you are at 40 or above 1 in everything else is all you need then just wait - nothing for ages then it will start to climb 0.0000000001%

 

after that it's exponential it will finish in less than 30 mins as the replicated probes  (descendants) replicate  so its the old 1 becomes 2, 2 becomes 4 - 8 -16 - 32 -64 on a MEGA scale and off it goes

 

 

On Level 2 I lost 100 million probes in 2 attacks - back to Zero then start again they build up quick enough

Assuming you have launched a few probes of course

 

[mattross1313]

cheers matey! You're right, as soon as the % starts to move it climbs super quick!!

[grahamc]

why am I tempted to do this again?

 

[Ekona]

Because hypnodrone

 

[mattross1313]

I've just made an executive decision to close the browser and get on with things.....

Although I already want to play again.

Anyone notice that your CPU and RAM grows as the game progresses . . . I stopped playing when I noticed this and it appears that maybe this simple game is actually using your PC for mining (bitcoin or some sort of cryptocurrency) 

 

Check out this article, I did not put 2 + 2 together until reading it

I would suggest anyone that had played paperclips delete all the cookies and associated files so that someone else is not profiting from your CPU and RAM

Would sir like a tin foil hat with that?  

[ilogikal1]

Is this an open offer, or do I have to read that article to get one? I mean I'm willing to do that if there are enough pictures but I don't want to have to work too hard for my free hat!

[Ekona]

You supply the foil, I’ll make you a smashing hat

That would be great dan, hopefully it will match my tin foil socks and pants

There's always a catch isn't there?

[Ekona]

I’d supply as well, but that would leave me without enough to line the grill for when I make a bacon sandwich in the morning. Soz.
