How I became the Meme Lord, and how you can be one too!

Thaulos · 2019-09-24 05:41:41

Today I have achieved what few have achieved! The true pinnacle of skill! An accomplishment far beyond all the shift clickers out there! A true testament of skill and cunning!

I have beaten the meme genetic score!

How did I fare so well with children? How did I populate the server with my offspring? How did I achieve spreading my genes far and wide?

Oh you silly naive child, by not doing any of that and cheating and subverting the system instead of course!

Here are some guidelines so you can become the meme lord as well:

Live to 60, always!
Saving food in your last moments? See rule above, munch on those berries all you need!
Lots of children? Spread of genes? Forget about that, have as few children as you can! Only eat mutton pies and berries to keep your yum as low as possible! Let the other females have the children
If anyone, not your descendant, even looks funny at your (hopefully) only child, stab away. They don't matter.
Oh no, you have a high score but you are no longer on the leaderboard? Fear not! Cheat your way back in by using the tutorial. It doesn't contribute to genetic fitness at all but you'll be back to the list for another 24h.

Genetic fitness is not about spreading your genes, it's about making sure the few genes you have are buff af.

Children decrease your genetic fitness, don't have them!

Remember folks, follow these simple rules and you can also be a meme lord.

Live a hermit life, possibly make a new town, invite only smart people to help you. it seems that if people don't die near you they aren't really affecting your score at all.

I was a meme lord once:

Not anymore:

What happens when you are born as a man?

You can't /die w/out tanking your own score.

And you suddenly do have to watch out for your nieces and nephews.

I guess you could kill all of your sisters?

I think I need to expand the family that counts to include some other closely related members. Like mother and siblings, at least.

Also, I will close that tutorial loophole.

The current genetic fitness just seems not to represent anything useful.

A "gene" is successful if it spreads a lot. The current score de-incentivize having multiple children. Ideally you would be dependent only on yourself.

If your genes doesn't propagate, you shouldn't get more score just because you reached age 60.

A better metric could be, as an example, quantity of offspring/nieces that reach adulthood (14?), or maybe include great nieces and grandchildren as well in the mix. The more surviving children you have, the more the score goes up, the less surviving children you have the less score you have.

Well, everyone starts at 0, so quantity does help it go up faster. If you don't play much, for example, you will not have a high score.

I worry that if SELF doesn't matter, we incentivize some weird behaviors, though maybe self-sacrifice is fine? Maybe it's even more interesting. Mother dying to keep her bb alive.

I do like how it currently disincentivizes /die babies. Each one is "dying young" and a knock on your score.

Currently, sacrificing yourself to save two babies would make sense. Well, and sac'ing yourself at age 30 to save a 1-y-o bb would make sense too (b/c that 1-y-o death will be a huge knock to your score compared to your 30-y-o death).

I think that in order to deal with this exploit, counting survival of mother and sibs would do it. You could still try to not have kids, but you'd still have to pay attention and care about those around you.

Considering the (undue) effectiveness of yum on player's behavior, maybe marking the extra pips that good genes give you would be worthwhile. As someone who plays on vanilla I don't know how old I am or what my pips "should" be at any given stage, ever.

Oh you dont get a high score when you dont play alot???? i have been hovering between spot 8 and 35 for a wile with only playing like 2 or 3 games a week. I have played like 5 games this week and my score tanked alot idk what my score is currently but its bad and yes i know i have played tons of games sinse the update got in the game but still imho playing less doesnt impact your score as playing alot does

jasonrohrer · 2019-09-24 21:15:07

What I meant was that players who play more ascend faster.

Yes, once you get to the top, you can stay there by playing less.

But if you get knocked down, having fewer offspring on purpose will slow down how fast you climb back up.

Instead of genetic fitness I would want to have some points for actually working and being productive. That could motivate people to work. Laziness sux
Ikr, that would be tons of working and pain to implement a thing like this

OminousBladeBlank · 2019-09-24 23:21:09

I beat your score by .8

Changes have been made:

1) Little brothers and little sisters count to your score. So even if you have no kids yourself, if your mom has more kids after you, you must look after them for a high score.

2) Eve lives (tutorial or otherwise) don't count toward your score. That was always the case. But now they don't reset your "last action" timer either, meaning that if you've expired from the leaderboard, you can't get back on by playing the tutorial.
