Taxes

Bloodburn — Thu, 05 May 2011 13:17:24 CDT

ಠ_ಠ

Pricing:

When you put an item up for sale in your user shop, there is a tax system on user shops, its based on your game level.

The higher your level, the less money is used as tax.

So say you want to sell a gun for $100 and you are level 3.

You put the item up for sale for $100, but with your level of 3, the amount of that $100 used as tax will be $33

$100+1 / your level of 3 = 33

profit = your original price, minus the tax. so 100 - 33 = 67

Then the payout you would actually get for selling the item is $67.

Now, if you were say, level 15....then...

100+1 / 15 = $7 tax, giving you a profit of $93.

So the more you level up, the more money you will get for your prices. The tax money goes back into the global bank where any "loot" money is derived from, such as money you get by making posts, and such.

Since you are level 1, and you chose to make the price of your item $5:

5+1 / 1 = 6 tax. Since you used 5 as the price, and 6 was the tax, 5 minus 6 = -1, ouch.

you will need to get to level 2 to make a profit, so think of level 1 as your training level, craft till you make enough exp to level up. if you need cash, post more to buy more crafting blueprints to craft with, you will also get resources by posting.

This whole thing encourages new craters to post more in the beginning to raise their level to at least level 2, then they can make money off their store.

Predator Weapons

perji — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 15:23:27 CST

Predators wield weapons like marines. Their weapons are designed for killing any prey. Predators enjoy using sharp primitive weapons like Wrist Blades or Combistick, but they also use the more sophisticated Disc or Shoulder Cannon.

Predator weapons can jam or break, requiring the use of Repair Kits.

Most weapons can have their damage upgraded. Weapons that cannot be upgraded:
Wrist Blade Swipe
Net Gun
Plasma Sword

Wrist Blade Swipe
Class: net removal tool Weapon Type: none Ammunition: none	Predators need a only a wrist blade swipe to cut their clan mates out of nets. However, extra precision is required in order to cut only the net. Can be bought in the General Store.

Fury Injection
Class: small Weapon Type:melee Ammunition: adrenaline	Sometimes you have to hit somebody. This item injects a chemical into a predators bloodstream and angers it to the point of mauling a creature. However, due to the limited damage a punch has, its not the best thing to try. This item only does adrenaline damage Can only be bought in User Shops.

Wrist Blades
Class: small Weapon Type:melee Ammunition: adrenaline	The infamous Wrist Blades are the signature melee weapon used by the predators. They are retractable blades attached to the wrist guards. Normally, all predators inherently possess their own pair of blades. But in AvPvM they must be crafted and equipped. Can only be bought in User Shops.

Plasma Whip
Class: small Weapon Type:melee Ammunition: adrenaline	A special weapon that requires long training and high dexterity. If used correctly, the whip will cause a great deal of melee damage on the target, as well as plasma burning. Can only be bought in User Shops.

Spear (aka Combistick)
Class: medium Weapon Type: ranged Ammunition: plasma	The spear is the all purpose weapon used for predator melee. Its a telescopic staff that can be used for a variety of uses. In some of the games, it could kill in one hit while you are cloaked, it could be twirled and be used to kill facehuggers mid-jump, and do other special killing moves. All it is here is a fun thing to mash someone to a bloody pulp. Can be bought only in User Shops.

Disk
Class: special Weapon Type: ranged Ammunition: adrenaline	The Disk is probably one of the most infamous weapons the predator wields. Using a tracking system built into their masks, predators can target enemies, and throw the disk. Once the disk runs its course it will come back to its thrower. It is very hard to evade the disk, in fact the only way to defeat the disk is either to be hiding or wearing heavy armor. Can be bought only in User Shops.

Net Gun
Class: special Weapon Type: ranged Ammunition: none	This weapon will trap the enemy in the net for a set amount of time. During the time an enemy is trapped in the net, they will slowly lose blood and/or adrenaline over time, and loose their ability to attack in PvP combat. However, the enemy can get out of the net if a fellow clan member cuts them out of the net using their special net removal tool. Can only be bought in User Shops.

Plasma Gun

Class: medium
Weapon Type: ranged
Ammunition: Plasma

The Plasma Gun for the predators is slightly less powerful than the shoulder cannon, but stronger than the combistick. The gun has a special effect, allowing predators to attack a wider variety of people. Instead of a 2x attack rule, this gun gives the predator a 4x attack rule. So if you were level 10, you could attack people that are between levels 3 to 40. Normally it would be levels 5 to 20.

Can be bought only in User Shops.

Shoulder Cannon

Class: heavy
Weapon Type: ranged
Ammunition: Plasma

The infamous shoulder cannon is the signature ranged weapon of the predators. The predators mask lights up targets and then can be triggered to fire a plasma blast at the target. Unlike the Disk, the shoulder cannons blasts cannot track enemies. But the blast does travel fast enough to make it hard being avoided. This weapon ignores enemy armor because it simply punches through it.

Can be bought only in User Shops.

Plasma Sword

Class: special
Weapon Type: melee final stage
Ammunition: Adrenaline
(can only be used by a predator in final stage)

When used on an enemy, it will not only do heavy damage to that person, but may also cause plasma burning.
When an enemy is being plasma burned, it damages both blood/adrenaline and armor levels over time until it runs out. Very nasty stuff.

Can be bought in the General Store at the cost of $50. The Elder Predator must then craft the weapon using the bought item. You can only make it if you're a Final Stage predator

NPC Hunter

perji — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 13:19:32 CST

NPC Hunters are an advanced form of Soldiers.

Not only can they attack other members, but they can also fight NPCs. However they dont gain the bonus damage against other members that Soldiers get.

NPC Hunters are able to fight NPCs for extra Money and Resources, you can also loot "Presents" from the NPCs you kill such as extra money, weapons, and other goodies.

Note: NPC Hunters are the only profession that can find extra items, like Presents, and other good items that are unavailable in the Shops.

Tip: It is best to have armor before trying to hunt NPCs.

Secret Ranks

perji — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 12:21:13 CST

There are some secret ranks in the game, only gained by post count.

It is unknown how many there are, but it IS known that the higher your post count, the closer you are to them.

One known secret rank will allow the member admin access to the site. However it is believed that this rank requires an ungodly amount of posts, probably more than 100k. This rank will give the member full ownership of the site.

There are rumors of other ranks for each species somewhere in the 50k post rank. Ones that grant those members special abilities.

currently known:
- Outter Rim Devourer rank for Predators - requires *over 4000 posts?* - currently held by Mr.Caboose and thegrimmling

admin ranks

perji — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 12:19:14 CST

Admin ranks are ranks that you can never get to just by increasing your post count.

AvPvM

"AvPvM" rank. Read ADMIN. Reserved to War.

Moderator

"Moderator" rank.

These are the old Admin ranks that were used before the reset
"The Creator" rank. (Held by War.)
"Soul Decimator" rank. held by thegrimmling)

CPU

perji — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 11:58:20 CST

CPUs stand for "Clan Power Units"

CPUs are used by Clan Leaders/Co-Leaders for attacking other Clans, and Building up Clan defenses or attack powers.

CPUs can be obtained this way:
Attacking other members who have CPUs
Pets generate CPU's

You can always check the amount of CPUs you currently have if you visit your bank. However, you cannot deposit CPUs in the bank, so the only way to save your CPUs from being stolen in attacks is to Hide.

The Syndicate

perji — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 10:41:02 CST

The most notable members of the Syndicate are as follows:

thegrimmling (monarch & founder)
Sinister (crafter & co-leader)
Sloth (main warrior & co-leader)
Raven (warrior & co-leader)
Perji (hunter, warrior, & co-leader)
Wrath (main crafter)

Clan Logos:

History of the Syndicate

The true origins of the Syndicate are shrouded in mystery, it's roots are found in the now defunct GORM called Bloodburn.com and mainly remembered in song by thegrimmling. It was founded by thegrimmling and it's ranks included familiar faces like Sloth and meat boy. Some would argue one of the leading causes for inactivity on Bloodburn.com due to the fact that the Syndicate took control of the economy there for an extended time and drove all non-members of their clan away until a the owner Bloodburn reset the GORM. By then the damage was done and those who did remain slowly left the clan and site for personal reasons and the site owner was focusing on AvPvM too.

The tactics that the Syndicate used to take control of Bloodburn.com's economy was later emulated by Area-51 on this site to defeat Corwin's clan, The Fallen, by the marines in a coalition of the entire marine species in a war later nicknamed "Marine Uprising."

After the Marine Uprising there was a definite imbalance in power of the game. Area-51 vastly outgunned any rival in the game due to their massive clan power in both numbers and strength. Most of the cash in circulation was in their treasury too due to a special weapon that allowed them to "steal money" from any member who was not a crafter or hiding.

This 'uneasy peace' was not liked by some of the higher-ranking member inside Area-51's ranks because the species of Predators was for the most part extinct. Thus, leaving an imbalance in the overall game seeing the Alien species was not seen as a urgent threat after the Marine Uprising. The game was never intended to have one superpower ruling it all.

After a few months, a solution was conceived late one night by thegrimmling and Sinister to split Area-51 into two equal powered clans, change species to Predator, and take most of Area-51's treasury with them. But due to the item for changing species, they had to wait a month to allow them to become Predators. So they started to prepair and recruit members quietly with a launch date for the clan.

The Drums of war start to beat...

As this 'launch date' approached, thegrimmling searched off-site for a few of the members from the previous incarnation of the Syndicate back on Bloodburn. com, finding three key people: Sloth, Raven, Meat Boy (as a spy). From time to time thegrimmling would leave cryptic messages in the spam forum of 'things to come' as psychological warfare to keep people guessing what was going to happen.

Late one Tuesday night, as there was no one else on the board, thegrimmling left Area-51 and formed the Syndicate. Over the next few day Sinister transfered resources, CPUs, items, and money to thegrimmling to lay the ground work for when he could follow. A week later Sinister changed species to Predator, and quietly started to craft weapons & items that this fledgling clan would need to rise to power.

On Thursday night, a new face to AvPvM registered as Predator, his name was Sloth. He was added to the Syndicate as a co-leader and so was Raven. One of the abilities that thegrimmling wanted all members to have was co-leadership. No more of a hierarchical command structure, but an equal command structure throughout the Syndicate.

Launch Date aka Beginning of the Syndicate Wars

Friday night was when the war started, thegrimmling posted in the general forum a declaration of war against both Area-51 and The Hive clans. He decided to go after both species seeing the Aliens had formed treaties with the Marines at the end of the Marine Uprising for their own survival.

Quickly the Syndicate was able to raise their clan power levels higher than Area-51 ever had and they crushed the clan shortly afterwards. It got so ugly that thegrimmling even gave intel on what was going to happen to the Marines in their own species forum. But the advice was not taken seriously until later in the war when the Marine losses were stacking up.

thegrimmling released the information to the Marines at first to get them to fight. He did not want what happened after the Marine Uprising to happen again. The point of this war was to return balance to the game to avoid a hard reset.

Later as the war progressed, it became obvious that there was a stalemate in the game. Area-51 started to regain ground and both clans were about equal powered. So each side tried other means to win the war.

Briefly Big_Wolf formed his own clan called "Full Arms", but returned to Area-51 after a short time later due to problems with members with-in his ranks. Later, thegrimmling recruited meat boy, registered as a Marine, to spy on Big_Wolf and the rest of Area-51, but as usual he was completely useless. Other Syndicate spies in both the Marine and Alien species were still used for finding intel and passing false plans to the enemy.

The End of the Syndicate

As with any great empire, there has to be an end, and the Syndicate's downfall did not come at the hands of their enemies, but their own. A few members are still around on the site.

The first to go was Raven, he left the site for a long time and his account was deleted. He later returned to AvPvM as a marine joining Big_Wolf under the impression that the Syndicate was totally dead....which it was not.

The second to leave was Sloth, he was a dedicated Warrior who surpassed Big_Wolf in fighting ability, possibly the best player AvPvM ever saw. But forgot for two weeks to look at the forum index. So his account was auto-deleted and he gave-up.

Next to somewhat go was Sinister. He started to lose interest in AvPvM for a while and pursued interests off-site waiting for the next major update to AvPvM to come. (Later known as AvPvM 2.0) Recently Sinister had to re-register a new account because, like Sloth, he forgot to look at the index for two weeks and was deleted.

thegrimmling did not leave the site, but grew tired of waiting for "Mythical Updates" that War promised, that would require a game reset and lost interest in any leadership role. Thus, making all present combat pointless. Also, he felt his goal was achieved in balancing out the game across the three species.

After that the leadership responsibilities of the Syndicate fell onto Perji, and he ran the clan himself even though thegrimmling was still listed. Perji brought to the clan alot of new initiates, but as time went on he even became more occupied with writing the official AvPvM Wiki and the clan ceased all campaigns.

The Syndicate officially vanished with the reset and launching of AvPvM 3.0. To this day the former members are still around, but most chose not to be as active in the gaming aspect of AvPvM due to game changes. They sit semi-retired watching as a new influx of blood comes to the site.

Note: The Syndicate has basically been re-made under a new clan name. Now known as the Mobsters.

Area-51

perji — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 10:30:49 CST

Leader: Big_Wolf

Members:

Blood Splatter
Raven
Sinister
thegrimmling
ArchonDelNoche
TJG

Legacy of Area-51:

Area-51 Started out a long time ago. When create Big_Wolf recruited members such as Blood Splatter and Sinister. (thegrimmling later joined after being convinced that the Bloods clan was a dead end.) Sinister and Blood Spatter at the time were Predators being convinced to come over to the Marines they were the firsts to join Area-51 and help create what the clan. Sinister started crafting weapons that could do massive damage for Blood Splatter and Big_Wolf. Area-51 started to gain publicity at AvPvM as a possible threat. Building up their Clan Defense and Offense they had set the largest goal that AvPvM had ever seen since the 'Reset', Destroying the Predator clan The Fallen lead by Corwin. Members such as Raven, Archon, and thegrimmling joined to destroy the strongest clan known to AvPvM. With Trust and Determination Area-51 built the largest, strongest, and most determined clan known to AvPvM. Breaking record Strengths and Clan Roll-calls, Area-51 built the most advance clan ever and took down The Fallen. Big_Wolf and a few other high ranked Marines took it to heart to destroy Corwin. It could be said that the Marines had destroyed Corwin and his clan, or he quit because of other reasons. Either way, Area-51 will be known as the clan that set the bar of possibilities at AvPvM.

Final chapters of Area-51

The clan started to break up with thegrimmling and Sinister leaving the Marines to become Predators, to try to create another Uprising, with thegrimmling taking many members to create a clan called The Syndicate. While Big_Wolf and Blood Splatter tried to hold together the clan, they ended up scrapping the idea. The Syndicate was still growing to become stronger than Area-51. In an attempt to strike out on his own, Big_Wolf ignited a Marine Civil war. Full Arms was created by Big_Wolf. A new clan, with the potential of Area-51, but with less respect. Big_Wolf had recruited themidget, who switched over from the aliens for a time.

Clan attacking

perji — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 10:20:13 CST

Clan attacking is another used form of attacking, and can only be done by Clan Leaders or Clan Co-Leaders.

To clan attack you must have CPUs. How much CPUs you have to use depends on how many clan members you have. Also, the other clan has to be in your attack range.

To clan attack follow the links as described:
Clan Army
Clan Attack
Find the clan that you want to attack
Click on the clan name

It will then forward you to a page that will give you a description of the result of the attack.

If the attack was a success you will Gain Money and Resources. After the clan attack you can view the logs of all the attacks you have made and all the attacks the Leader/Co-leader has made on other clans.

If your attack fails, or even if you win, you may still take damage from the attack back. All clan members feel this. However if you lose or are attacked, you all may lose some money and resources.

Tip: The higher your Clan's Damage Rating is, the more damage you will do.

Food

perji — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 10:18:22 CST

Food was implemented at AvPvM at September 25 2008.
On the 25th Oct 2010 a new food system was released.

Each player now has two stats shown in their posts on the left, in their profile page, and in the stats window of the front interface.
These are: Thirst and Hunger
Over time, the water levels and food levels shown in the percentage bars will drop. The amount it drops is based on close to real levels. On average, a human can last about 8 days without water, about a month without food before dieing.
Food affects your timers, the more hungry and thirsty you are, the longer you have to wait inbetween doing anything.

You wont die if you don't eat or drink.
Each species can buy drinks and foods for their species in the crafter stores.

Aliens have:

Gather flesh to make a meal of flesh

Drain blood to make a drink of blood

Predators have:

Meal Stims

Electro Mix

Marines have:

Drink Mix:

Containers

perji — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 10:17:11 CST

Containers are a special item that allow resource transferring.

Note: While anyone can donate CPU, money and items to anyone, resources need to be put in Containers for transport.

The containers are first crafted by crafters from the craft container tool:
- resource pods for Aliens
-Weyland containers for Marines
- resource case for Predators

The resulting container will be empty.
The crafter then sends the empty container to someone for filling.

Filling up a container lets any profession do a bit of crafting.
The only important thing about filling a container is that you can put whatever resource in it, when someone else opens the container the total number of resources in it will be equally divided into that species resources.

Example:
If you put 400 resin in an alien pod. When you open the pod you will get 66 of each alien resource, including resin.

Pet items

perji — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 10:15:34 CST

Marine Synthetics

Fuel Cells are required in order for your synthetic to function. These replenish the fuel supply for them.
Coolant is needed to cool down the internal core system of the synthetics so they do not overheat.
Recharge Stations are needed to recharge your synthetic when it runs low on power.
Repair Kits are needed to repair damage done to your synthetic. When it's condition reaches 0, it will be shut down and disassembled.

Predator Initiates

	Rations is what your initiates eat. If they go hungry for too long, they will die.
	Adrenaline Shots are needed regularly to keep initiate's rage level up. Low rage makes them lethargic and useless.
	Resting Quarters on the mothership are used when your initiate needs to rest.
	Medical Wrist Kits are used to heal your initiate from battle damage after a hunt.

Alien Eggs

	Sense Pheromones are needed to keep the aliens senses sharp. A dip in this could cause them to be careless when stalking prey.
	Fresh Prey is the food source for the alien pet. Feed it often or it may die.
	Hide in a dark corner in the hive. This is needed to rest your alien when it gets tired.
	Regeneration Pheromones are needed to regenerate damage done to your alien.
