No! Bad Roleplayer! Very Bad Roleplayer! Party = Cheerful! Party =/= people-who-have-died-returning-angst! You do that enough with your usual medium-ness-wibblage. Have *fun* for once!

Great lines of sight from the balcony. I'm getting the sniper rifle out. Time to bag me some zombies.

Regarding Prestige and Startup

A fully-alt-padded (to 15) RP SG can start with 300,000 Prestige.As we can see above, the minimum for a functional base allowing the use of salvage is 910,000 prestige, a variance of 610,000.

Over the course of roughly 10 hours play, it seems that the average level 35 will earn 15k prestige, or about 1500 prestige per hour. At that rate, it will take approximatly 400 player-hours to achieve the minimum value.

The GoD has a core playerbase of roughly six players. Assuming that we play for two hours a night on average (I have chosen this lower number because this must be levelling time, not RP time), that's 12 player-hours a day.

Extending this logically, we find that we can afford a bare-minium base in 33 days. Accounting for weekends and so forth, a month.

I created this thread seperatly since it focuses on the GoD, but the data within it and the discussion to follow may be of interest to this thread.

Basic Bases: Lowdown from A GoD Perspective

Attached in the zipfile linked below are three basic base variants in Excel format.

They use the free (8x8) plot which you recieve to start with. The first two have enough power and control to run a Basic Tech Worktable. The third, because of the needs of the teleporter, has enough to run an Advanced Worktable.

GoD Initial Options - ZIP FILE

The three variants:

BASIC (910,000 Prestige)
BASIC + RP ROOM (1,060,000 Prestige)
BASIC + TELEPORT (1,291,000 Prestige)

Note that it is possible to have a large RP room for the same cost as a small one in the second variant, because all decorative rooms are 150k prestige. This variant makes the most effective use of space within the plot, but does not allow for a teleporter.

Note also that it is impossible to have an RP room in the third variant because of restrictions on placement within plots (upgrading to the next plotsize would be required, for roughly 3,000,000 prestige).
