Sillysoft no longer hosting Biodeux?
So is it official that Dustin is no longer hosting Bio rooms? I could probably guess at the logic behind this, but it would be nice to hear it stated. If you are indeed getting rid of your Bio hosts for good, could you elaborate on why you think this is a good idea?
Re: Sillysoft no longer hosting Biodeux?
My host has only been down once due to me thinking i could close my laptop screen without closing the server..
I will soon run a ghost server off my other machine to make it much easier /

Re: Sillysoft no longer hosting Biodeux?
I will continue to host Biodeux.
I've been playing around a little with the amount of hosts and settings based on people's feedback.
It's nice to see other hosts stepping up too. Thanks Smot

Re: Sillysoft no longer hosting Biodeux?
Cool, good to know. I just noticed that there hadn't been any of your bio hosts up for a while (hard to say for how long, that was just my perception), while all of the other maps were still up. They were down long enough that I figured I'd ask. Thanks for the response!

TY Smot for the bio host.
Any chance you could bump the cont bonus % ? 20% is so low it is causing marathons. 30% + is a game changer and will cause fewer marathons.

Re: Sillysoft no longer hosting Biodeux?
I have taken a look at the last 30 FH Games in Smot's host. Average game is 12.2 rounds,that would give 10-15 minutes games.plane crazy wrote:

Average game that takes 10-15 min is not "marathon friendly" settings if you ask me.
We could try 30%, but that would mean you need to get more lucky with the starts(less strategy).
A better option in my opinion is limits of 25 or 30 minutes of matches, if it's possible.

Re: Sillysoft no longer hosting Biodeux?
Sorry but 30 games of stats don't tell the story.
After playing 8000 games of bio, I know the differential between low cont bonus at the start of the game and the card bonus being high exponentially does not give enough income to the game leaders in the first dozen rounds. These game leaders worked hard to get cont income and hold it, yet are not rewarded with enough income to be as aggressive as they need to be to keep the game from stalling. Once the card bonus becomes really high in the 12th to15th round or so, then shit shakes out but it makes for a unnecessarily longer game that is stalled until the higher card bonus kicks in.
I also really like timers. 30 min. timer in bio is a nice feature.

30 games is not much, how about 60?plane crazy wrote:Sorry but 30 games of stats don't tell the story.

Re: Sillysoft no longer hosting Biodeux?
Former host who shall not be named made a bunch of really great graphs during one of his manic phases:
viewtopic.php?p=310047#p310047
viewtopic.php?p=311852#p311852
I know there are more, but don't know where to find them.

Re: Sillysoft no longer hosting Biodeux?
I have bumped to 25% bonus and a 35 minute timer, let me know how it goes.
Re: Sillysoft no longer hosting Biodeux?
I guess one squawk is all it takes, so this is me squawking that IRE is missing.
Re: Sillysoft no longer hosting Biodeux?
I am now hosting one of those also but am unaware of the settings, so please let me know how you want it.
Re: Sillysoft no longer hosting Biodeux?
weird, on my end it says im hosting both games, but i dont see the IRE on the tracker..

Re: Sillysoft no longer hosting Biodeux?
Thank you, Smotty. Love your Bio host.
Re: Sillysoft no longer hosting Biodeux?
Sillysoft hosts have all been reset now.
Smot, if you want to host multiple rooms, you need to run the headless host version.
