Support for a Creature Guide?

wolphire • 23 January 2014 at 6:06 PM

I'd like to start a new "[EPF] Creature Guide" topic, this time from a side account. If I start logging in and updating infrequently, I want to transfer the account to someone else's custody. This way, the topic will remain updated, regardless of hiatuses and vacations.

I need help to start this, please. Unfortunately, I'm still very new, so I do not have a good grasp on prices. I also want to know if anyone would be willing to take over the EPF guide in case I do leave EC.

I apologize for the pings:

@wolphire Ive been thinking about doing the same thing, but I want @frosted to know and approve since she started it, and I dont know if she plans on updating it again.

@poof

I agree; I pinged her to ask.

@wolphire
Maybe but they have kinda failed in the past ;-;

wolphire • 23 January 2014 at 6:36 PM

@immortalraven

With a side account that gets passed on when the current undertaker is no longer able to keep it updated? :<

@wolphire be back in a while, ping me in a couple hours

immortalraven • 23 January 2014 at 6:39 PM

@wolphire
Well not that but I don't know if it'd still work ;-;

wolphire • 23 January 2014 at 7:01 PM

@immortalraven

My thought was, maybe previous guides failed because users used their main accounts to create the guides. Once the users became inactive, they didn't pass on their account, so the previous guides never got updated.

In my idea, I wanted to create a guide, but on a side account, so it can easily be transferred to another user as required.

@wolphire
I guess it might x3

wolphire • 23 January 2014 at 7:09 PM

@immortalraven

It'd really help, 😊

For example, I was offered an Engel and Irel for a frozen Bauble, and I have no idea if it's fair, ><

@cosmicbrambleclaw

You have been pinged, 😊

immortalraven • 23 January 2014 at 7:11 PM

@wolphire
It is definitely not for. Engels don't go for much CC and only go for a ton of EC in auctions cause people offer a lot there and offer better than they do in the TC when offering EC :/
Though also depends what stage Engel but still wouldn't be much more to make up for the freeze ^^

The EPF Creature Guide is currently under constructions. As such, we had a order:
1. DCF
2. Travel Guide
3. Creature Guide

Of which the first two steps are done.
Since, I returned from my small two-day hiatus, I'm also ready, and the EPF team is working on the new update for the Creature Guide as it is a very dedicated and tedious process.
Many other things are under constructions, including expansions and upgrades to the current EPF.

@frosted
Ok, I knew(ish) that so didn't really need ta ping me. Had just been replying ta ping x3 And stated what I thought x3 Don't really care either way. Plus I don't use guides but off what I've seen, been offered, have gotten, have traded for.

@frosted

I wish you and your team the best of luck, 😊

@immortalraven
Yeah.. ^^
The guide is VERY off now.
I'm working on it....

EDIT: Ninja'd
@wolphire
Thanks (:

@frosted

Whee, I'm glad you're getting the support you need, 😊

@wolphire
Er... It's getting a bit hard..
I really need help. o-o

wolphire • 29 January 2014 at 11:58 PM

@frosted

In which capacity?

Goodness knows how much time I sink into EC; I'd like to use it more productively, 😊

(And would you be interested in my side-account idea? :>)

@wolphire
Values.. that's the problem. I don't know them, half the EPF team is inactive.. No responses..

wolphire • 30 January 2014 at 12:02 AM

@frosted

How exactly do you judge values? I know auctions are too volatile to use and trades are hard to track...

immortalraven • 30 January 2014 at 12:05 AM

@wolphire
I judge values on what I've seen, have heard, been offer, have gotten, and have payed ^^

Deleted • 30 January 2014 at 12:06 AM

@wolphire
Auctions are filled with wobbly values, which cannot be basically used for judging creature values.
The trades matters.
Recently, many creatures' values' inflated. Nyms, Tines, Doovoos, Macbots, Onnys (by a bit), Pixgogs, Clous(es), Ahjoons and so on...

wolphire • 30 January 2014 at 12:12 AM

@immortalraven

I'm never quite sure how you do it, but it's amazing how much you know, :>

@frosted

I keep a close eye on CA, and I've seen firsthand the problems with the fluctuating price values, -_-

What I remember of some of my trades is that I bought a Tific for 500k and was offered 1 million for it.

Deleted • 30 January 2014 at 12:32 AM

@wolphire
It's quite strange to have values taken from auctions. But normal values can be given as such, by observing or doing trades.

wolphire • 30 January 2014 at 12:35 AM

@frosted

I know I dislike CA values, because I've seen the Irels and Vulpselles go from 1k to 100k, though that was earlier in the month. I also have the terrible tendency to bid, so I'm trying to stop.

I've noticed a few prices on this topic, plus what I've traded for a few CRWs, but I don't think those prices will settle down anytime soon...
