Hangman helper

Forum Thread Hangman hints Forum-Index → Suggestions → Rejected → Hangman hints Forum Posts: 601 Posted: Tue, 02/02/2021 18:31 (4 Years ago) This might be a strange suggestion coming from me, as I'm the onewho initiated the idea of a Hangman Helper 3 years back and I justimplemented the chatbot version of it, BUT, I do enforce fair play,and the hangman helper is just too overpowered so I'd like todecommission it.Hangman is definitely the quickest way to make Game Chips IFyou can sustain a long chain, but it is hard to get into as mostpeople don't actually know all Pokemon names or some of the obscurehangman words. So for those who use the Hangman Helper it is a hugeadvantage to those who don't, either because they do not know aboutit or they do not want to use it (because it does take away fromthe challenge of the game).In the place of the Hangman Helper I'd suggest to make the gameslightly easier to get started with by adding one or both of thefollowing features:1. Buying a hintAt the cost of 300 Game Chips you can buy a hint, which gives you acorrect letter for the current word.I think you should only be able to do this once for everyword2. Buying an extra lifeAt the cost of 100 Game Chips you are given an extra life.Every new life doubles in cost, so the second one would cost 200,then 400, then 800, then 1600, etc.Perhaps there can also be a limit on the number of extra lives youcan buy, but I don't know if this is necessary.Visually an extra life would make the hangman drawing go back one(so if it had its arms before, an extra life will remove the armsagain)Another idea for both of these suggestions would be that the costscales

With your current chain length, so that things are cheap atthe start, but they could get very expensive to buy for longerchains (above 2500 Game Chips). This would discourage you to buythem so to reach very high chains you'll need the skill.A side suggestion: Hangman is currently the only game that does notrequire an entry fee, and as it is the most profitable, I think asmall fee of 50 Game Chips would not hurt.All the prices listed here are definitely negotiable, feel free togive your thoughts in the comments!

So..Free Palestine Forum Posts: 601 Posted: Sat, 06/02/2021 14:21 (4 Years ago) I just think the helper is a bit too powerful, it is quitedifficult to lose as long as you don't miss click...This suggestion is here to make Hangman more doable for users newto the words at Hangman without the help of the Hangman Helper.I personally think it'd be more fun to guess the word legit, bybuying extra lives, than getting the answer given to me by ahelper. Posted: Sat, 06/02/2021 14:25 (4 Years ago) I only even bother with Hangman because of the helper and eventhen, I

I would be in fullcompliance to take down the Hangman Helper, at least the version 2one I had made. That's if changes like this would come to Hangmanand I would be asked to cease operation of my Helper. While thiswouldn't get rid of the Hangman Helper completely, the version 2wouldn't exist which most people do use and it contains just aboutall the words. The older version is missing hundreds of words andwouldn't be as consistent to be using.Anyway, personally I'm split on this as much as I don't even reallybother much with doing Hangman myself. I only have 226 Hangmensolved in my entire PH lifetime. Regardless of whatever happens ittruly doesn't affect me. None of what I would be saying would holdany bias. This is something I feel that's important to note.Furthermore, I do feel as if Hangman had stuff like this in thefirst place then helpers would have never really existed or wouldof seen any surface. Now that there are helpers exist, they arejust this gray area because you can say that it's overpoweredthrough the use of them, but then again you could say that theyhave more of an educational use and purpose.I think if you want a fair and realistic solution then this is whatI would personally propose. Add in a copy button and or detect if auser if copying content off of the page. Reduce the reward given ifthis holds true. Most people using the Hangman Helper are copy andpasting in words because it's most convenient to be doing it thatway. A smaller percentage would actually be spending the time totype out anything and even if you do type most people are likely tomake mistakes by doing so. This would be easy to implement and Idon't think anyone would mind it as it would better help createfair

Quite a few changes. But Idon’t think we’re supposed to mention those hereFree Palestine Forum Posts: 601 Posted: Sat, 06/02/2021 22:09 (4 Years ago) @all: Thanks for the good discussion, it is nice to hear yourthoughts about this in such detail!Quote fromFurretHangman is just not a fun game in my opinion.The only reason I play is to gain game chipsHmm yes, I think many have the same thoughts on the matter like youdo. However, it shouldn't be an "unofficial helper" that fixes theissue, the game center itself should be changed to satisfy as manypeople as possible. Whether this is by including the hangman helperofficially or by other means, that's up to Riako to decide.Quote from KaisaAssomeone who uses hangman chips for non-personal gain, if somethinglike buying hints, extra lives with GameChips would probably makeme stop trying to save up for birthday surprises and Christmaspresents from the GCE.Buying hints / extra lives has a goal to improve your chances togain more Game Chips than you have spent to buy those hints / extralives.Quote fromSilverklauws1) I dont see why we should pay a feefor a hangman game, chips are hard to collect already, i find itbetter free but this is my opinion.The only reason I would want a small fee to start a Hangman Game isso that you need to buy your first chips with PD. Now you basicallyget your first chips for free using Hangman and is the feature tobuy Game Chips obsolete.Quote fromSilverklauws2) not everybody knows the englishpokemon terms so lowering the win fee because they use a helper isa bit harsh i find.I think it would rather be much better to put the helper link inthe game itself therefore everybody can use it as hepleases.As long as the helper isn't an official tool, it's nearlyimpossible to detect if people

Educated* guesses of which letter tochoose based on the length of the word and which letters you'vealready tried.The helper just gives you the correct word over 90% of the timeafter a few guesses, so all that's left is clicking all thenecessary letters.*educated in the sense that you learn the possible words withpractice & experience Taavi OFFLINETrainerlevel: 67 Forum Posts: 801 Posted: Sat, 06/02/2021 18:11 (4 Years ago) QuoteI only even botherwith Hangman because of the helper and even then, I still don't doit very often. I do try to do it without it and only use it whenabsolutely necessary however.For me, the biggest annoyance about Hangman is not the losing it'sthe cooldown between games when you lose, especially since I don'thave much patience for it in the first place.If the Helper was decommissioned, I would not play with theexception of the day it's necessary in the Advent Calendar and Iknow there are several others that wouldn't either. In fact, evenwith the helper, some of those people still won't even do it on theAdvent event.Yes. Exactly. I only use it if needs be or when I get sudden burstof energy and decide i want the shiny dogs.But i know mw and most of the site will just let it be and neveruse it if it didn't have an helper.Out of 1000+ people who i know on this site only 2 i know to playhangman without helper. so...Adding the helper in the system? not a good idea. nope.decreasing the amount received. bigger no.Free Palestine Forum Posts: 601 Posted: Sat, 06/02/2021 18:32 (4 Years ago) Honestly, several games could do with an update.I agree with Zellane, I don't really get why there's a cool down,the first 10 - 20 Hangman games barely give you any GC anyway.The concentration game as well, don't rlly

Dog trio, shiny manaphy, all of the shiny mewton, on top ofthe uncertain ones like lugia's lottery and the magearna raffle, weall really need those game chips & a good, consistent way togrind for them - I don't want to spend the chips I've earned forjust a hint, I want to spend those game chips on those over the topexpensive Pokemon.I wouldn't touch hangman again if those helpers were removed. :/ Forum Posts: 113 Posted: Sat, 06/02/2021 20:54 (4 Years ago) 1) I dont see why we should pay a fee for a hangman game, chips arehard to collect already, i find it better free but this is myopinion.2) not everybody knows the english pokemon terms so lowering thewin fee because they use a helper is a bit harsh i find.I think it would rather be much better to put the helper link inthe game itself therefore everybody can use it as he pleases.Counter suggestion:If the helper bother people why not make a nuzlocke hangmantype?Using the helper is forbidden, buy extra letter or lives with chipsas suggested by swampfall to avoid a chain break.BUT get better rewards because your on the tough version off it,like alot more chipz or why not even random gems as a reward,!Like that the true hangman fans are happy and the one's slowlygrinding to get a puppy or kitty from the shop arent punishedeither, no? Forum Posts: 774 Posted: Sat, 06/02/2021 20:56 (4 Years ago) What if we nerf the Helper? Make it so it can only work if at least2 letters have been correctly guessed on words that are 4 to 6letters long and 5 letters guessed correctly on words that are 7letters or longer? That way it's clear there's been some effortmade.Alternatively what if Helper could only be used if you were on
