Mobile Kanojo/Kareshi General #255 "Winners" edition
Last Thread: >Main games of discussion are Moe Can Change!, Dream Girlfriend/Nijikano, Fairy Doll and Gijin Kareshi/Animal Boyfriend but people are encouraged to introduce new games. >Games of occasional discussion are Potion Maker, Mandrake Girls, Soul Girls, etc. >To our newfriends: please remove any /mkg/ tags, and lurk more to ensure proper etiquette. We might be a dress-up game general, but are we allowed to be salty yet?
Wait whaaat, those pins are cool. Did I miss how you could get them?
Nathaniel Morris
They come with the ears IIRC. The ears are from a gatcha that's not available anymore, so yes.
Gabriel Russell
Oh, lame.
Adrian Ramirez
Latest FD event is about alchemy and monsterfairies. Well, only a little of the second.
Landon Flores
Japanese FD, right?
Anthony Kelly
Gosh, that's so cute. Why won't neo-AMB let their international fans experience this?
Juan Lee
Of course. It's not like they have an English version ;_;
Anthony Scott
Why do some fairies have heads bigger than him the others? Is it to distinguish child and adult fairies?
Camden Nguyen
The other one's just in the background, I think. Only AMB's allowed to do such things.

Some people expressed that they wanted to rank fewer places than the required amount during both the theme selection and the contest voting. While I prefer that people rank all the places they have to, which is usually 1/3rd rounded up in whatever the vote is on, I'm willing to bounce around some ways for people can rank fewer placed with incentives for ranking all the places prescribed.
One idea is to simply have a CAN incentive to rank all the places; the points for the places they don't rank are just not assigned. Another is to make it so that people who rank fewer than the total amount have their point values multiplied by the amount of places they did rank over the amount of places they can rank. Say that there was a max of seven places to rank; the point value of the first place rank for someone who ranked seven places would be 1, six places would be 6/7, five places 5/7, etc.
I'm also thinking of using instant run-off rules when we select a theme, the reason being that only the top winner matters when we select a theme and an instant-runoff should better express voter preferences for a top winner. In these rules, if there is no immediate majority winner by points, the theme with the lowest amount of points is eliminated, the points from those that voted for that theme redistributed as if it was not on the ballot, then the numbers checked again. That repeats until there is a majority winner. As I explained some time ago, the caveat is that some votes may have all of their preferences eliminated before a winner is found.
Jason Johnson
Blah blah blah, nigga needs to use some damn tldr. You'll just fix it anyway, so it's not like it matters.
Luke Perez
The second ranking idea is dumb but I'm fine with the new theme selection method.
Elijah Jones
When aiming for midway ranking in DG, is it better to spam drinks hours in advance to creep up, then spam more right before the results? Or is it better to just spam a whole lot of drinks, maybe half an hour, before the time? I'm new to this.
Ian Edwards
Either works, just make sure you already get all the points you can get per step before using drinks
Asher Murphy
Maybe we can have a non-instant runoff, where we have a semifinals vote and then the top 3 go on to the finals vote? It would be more tedious, but then people might bitch less because they'd feel like their vote mattered more.
Also, I motion the title length cap be raised from 15 characters - that's barely enough to fit two words.
Anthony Hughes
Always spam, all the time. It's the only way to be sure in beating DG's rabid buyfags
Cooper Bell
Yeah the fifteen character limit made being able to title your entries completely pointless. What kind of context can you give with one or two words that isn't already obvious?
Jaxson Hernandez
...
Jace Diaz
Sorry you're retarded.
The second one is really just to prevent, say, a person voting for just themselves and quitting there. It's a big incentive to vote as much as you are able.
Yeah, okay. Does 30 characters sound more reasonable?
As for the non-instant run-off, I think people would rather prefer to rank all available choices rather than have to vote twice, but that might be a a wrong opinion. What would people prefer?
Easton Rogers
>The second one is really just to prevent, say, a person voting for just themselves and quitting there. It's a big incentive to vote as much as you are able. Then you're pretty much forcing them to fill all the ranks if they want their vote to matter. Also I don't mind voting twice, voting is fun.
Carter Barnes
isn't a tweet 50 characters or something? let's go with that. you're copy-pasting them not retyping them, yeah? what's the issue
Jonathan Sanchez
Well, I don't want people to write a whole novel is all.
Kevin Howard

Samuel Evans
ban roleplayers
Josiah Walker
It's a title, not a description.
Owen Kelly
This reminds me. The two-shot feature is an extension of the contest image thing, contest_all.php, rather than what our photo feature currently uses, which is just all.php. The arguments involved are: id1: Your account ID id2: Your myroid's number (as opposed to ID) id3: Unknown id4: Unknown, but setting it to 1 makes it a single shot id5: Your myroid's expression id6: Unknown id7: Friend's ID id8: Friend's myroid number (as opposed to ID) id9: Friend's myroid's expression id10: Facing (0 = outward, 1 = inward, 2 = leftward, 3 = rightward) id11: Positioning (0 = you on right, friend on left, any other value is the opposite)
In order for ID4=1 to work, id10 and id11 must be 0. That's all I got. I don't think our current contest_all supports all this yet.
Noah Sanders
I'd prefer to vote twice.
Isaac Adams
What are your favourite moments of this general? Let me hear some nostalgia /mkg/.
Kayden Howard
When I got rid of the fanfics through shitposting :]
Parker Lewis
Every time a thread gets archived before reaching the bump limit.
Christian Richardson
I like it when we share hentai, when we share AA2 cards or meidos, and I miss discussing shotacon with Moo.
You can't rape meidos, there's no fun if you can't rape them.
Jonathan Campbell
You can use posing mods and pretend rape. Also there is a rape event where some customer basically beats her up or something. It's the Taimian Asagi one. I don't play any of those though, I just like to do autistic things with multipemaids.
Xavier Campbell
You guys whine so much about how Jewish AMB is, but how do you expect them to even remain in business? How would YOU monetize these games?
Charles Taylor
Custom Maid has nice characters but I haven't bothered DLing it yet. The most fun for me in AA2 for comes from throwing 20+ AI characters at each other and seeing what happens, then navigating it.
Liam Wilson
Shill please, no one has even said that recently.
Chase Murphy
I want to do the raping, not have my maid be raped while I watch but I understand what you're talking about, I can pretend rape by sending them to the BDSM room.
Why doesn't Jana love Jana back?
Nathan Brooks
I didn't realize there were 2 ss, sorry.
Sebastian Butler
It's ok, I probably should have left some white space.
Isaiah Wright
Gee I dunno, maybe fucking advertising the games would be a good start. Make a video, buy ad banners on weeaboo sites.
Isaac Sullivan
Would anyone care if I use a second account for personal bothers?
Dylan Perry
The burger posting ;_;
Caleb Gutierrez
I don't think anyone gives a fig.
Wyatt Cox
Yeah, I'll fucking hate you, you giant fucking motherfucker.
Charles Hernandez
get gud, scripting scum
Carter Richardson
>second account >scripting You seem confused
Jackson Lopez
A lot of us do that when we need bothers but can't find someone to do it for us.
Kayden Reed
>Was going to do the Hulu offer on Tapjoy for that 800AP during the double bonus, and to have things to watch for a week while playing >Suddenly all the non-video offers vanish >Think it might because the bonus was about to end >They never came back
Ah well, it works out in then end. Everything else was just a scam anyway
Carson Nguyen
Everything you suggested is just ways to advertise, which costs money. The question was how to turn an active user base into a revenue stream.
Joshua Torres
I think they're already doing a good job overcharging for everything, having ranking awards which require you to spam energy drinks to even get close, and putting some of the most detailed costumes behind the paywall known as Doc's Recommendation.
If they were really that desperate, then the very least they could do is to lower the gacha costs down to their beginner sale prices permanently. That would at least increase the volume of paying players a bit, even if that cuts a bit of the revenue that whales will put into it.
Aaron Murphy
>The question was how to turn an active user base into a revenue stream. Yes tell us- er... "them", exactly how to further increase profits, what a great idea!
Nolan Thompson
For AP hairs: Will I be able to change the bangs for a set of Moen ones after I buy it? Will I have to buy the AP hairs I bought before again should I decide to change it?
Brandon Evans
When you buy an AP hairstyle it unlocks it permanently for the girl you bought it on, afterwards it can be changed to any combination you want using moen as usual.
Nicholas Richardson
Awesome, now I feel a little more inclined about getting one.
Jordan Thomas
Be careful though, it's not the same for colors. You have to pay for AP colors each time you want to use one. I think. It's been ages since I cared.
Leo Martin
>You have to pay for AP colors each time you want to use one >pay for AP colors >each time you want to use one >pay for colors each time you want to use
Joseph Barnes
Yeah colours need to be re-bought with AP if you ever switch off them. But changing bangs/hair while keeping the colour the same only costs moen
Ryan White
Has anyone ever bought more than 1 AP hair for the same girl?
Ethan Bennett
I'm on the last half-hour of my marathon study/work session. Do you guys ever burn your 100+ 5 minute extends? I dunno if I want to tap that much for such little payoff.
I've only bought one, but I switch it off sometimes.
Eli Hernandez
Yes, to combine hair and bangs.
Jonathan Morris
You can click really fast and it'll still work. For some reason, it doesn't trigger the tapping too fast error message. Makes using hundreds of them really easy.
Xavier Collins
I used 250 of each the other day, it didn't take more than 20 minutes.
Lincoln Sullivan
Alright, guess I'll work through them. 5 at a time since it's the end of my session. Smart me.
Josiah Reed
Post bitches
Kevin Jackson
You first.
Jaxson Cox
Ok
Michael Powell
wtf i hate akane now?
Carter Bailey
Do cards for any PM characters exist?
Kevin Hughes
Uh, rude.
Landon Thompson
Wakana better get out with that weak ass shit.
Jayden Cruz
...
Luke Sullivan
Great, so now you understand half of the question, let's see if you can comprehend the full question.
In what ways, if you were AMB, would you attempt to make money from these games, that wouldn't be off-putting to the player base, and make them call you a jew?
Angel Barnes
what the other user is saying is to make less money per account but from a larger number of accounts, hoping that would be the equilibrium
Nathan Scott
bump
Kayden Butler
Shill, stop there and fix your games first, and then maybe AMB's blatant cash grabs won't be so egregious because it would be for something that is actually more enjoyable to play.
Michael Gutierrez
Yes, what's the point of playing if you're not going to interact with others?
Blake Sanchez
I just want to avoid you specifically.
Connor Martinez
Too bad Rail Wars was shit
Ryan Davis
12 hours 30 minutes left of triple exp. There's still bartender for a few minutes for that sweet 20 EXP/hr base rate.
Brandon Brown
>still in the EXP rat race
Ryan Davis
Do you have enough exp for level 300 yet?
Jackson Lewis
Not him, but yesterday's marathon was the hardest I tried for XP since getting my third Myroid around Valentine's Day. Went from 91 to 95. I remember when if I hadn't fucked up the December 2015 Triple XP I would've gotten 11 levels.
