To make up a new star that will be given to Helden when he reaches 300,000 moves. Otherwise, I'm not re-subscribing. Make it happen.

Yes, a new goal needs to be set for those 100.000+ players.
Otherwise, I will come to a grinding hold after the next 24.000 moves.

Russ, you have about a month to do absolutely nothing on this issue.

Otherwise, Coconut will resubscribe and spend the next 12 months whinging about his PDA.

I don't think someone who moves 100,000 times really needs further motivation to keep moving. (It's like trying to keep a chain smoker hooked.)

But they should have a star that jumps naked out of a cake and does a hoochie coochie, or some such thing.

1,000,000,000 moves !!!!!!!!

we live 86400 seconds per day ... 31,536,000 seconds per year,

1,000,000,000 moves requires playing for 31 years continuosly at one move per second ... this would be quite a feat !

I think I might achieve that, but the automation script will be a curse to my rating.
And the server should keep up.

Here's an idea: Stars that recognize quality, not quantity.

IronMan could have done it without making a single blunder.

When Helden reaches 300,000 his star will go supernova and wipe out all life on rhp

I also agree that 300,000 is a strange place to offer a reward, so make it 200,000 or 250,000, just give it to him when he gets to 300,000.

Wouldn't a scale more logarithmic be better? Just a thought or a stab at it might be:

0 - 0 moves
1 - 2,000 moves
2 - 16,000 moves
3 - 54,000 moves
4 - 128,000 moves
5 - 250,000 moves
6 - 432,000 moves
7 - 686,000 moves
8 - 1,024,000 moves

the formula being: 2000 * (tier# ^ 3)

Just a thought.

Maybe you have put a little too much thought into it. 😉
