'''[http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale4/index.php?title=User_talk:BlackBeast/Rumours&action=edit&section=new Add a comment]'''

I don't know why people are so quick to jump to conclusion in this game more than any other MMO I know out there and why a lot of people seem to be more judgemental and acting aggressively too, but I do wonder if a lot of the attitudes of people come from the complexity of this game and the psychological aspect of the game too. A lot of this game involves cooperation and trust of others and the psychological effects of that can cause people to be untrusting and conspiring against others. It is upsetting to see people behave like this over a game, but it does tell us a lot about human nature and that when under pressure we can react irrationally towards one another. This game quite literally can bring out the worst in people. - Mariasha, 16:08 GMT 04/11/2009

== BB is cool! ==

I don't care if BB is Zeus or not, all that I know is that he's a good friend, and much more socialy-able than Zeus. I don't think BB ever did anything to harm people, so he and Luckie shouldn't be handled as if they did. -Elfus, 16:13 GMT 04/11/2009

Guilds/Flavored Bacon Conspiracy

2009-10-09T19:12:00Z

Elfus: Undo revision 145072 by Elfus (Talk)

==Purpose==

The Flavored Bacon Conspiracy is dedicated to finding Favored Beacon Activities (FBAs) for the purposes of passing the Test of Beacons. As such, membership is generally open to players who have signed up for the Test of Beacons.

The Favored Beacon activity changes roughly once an Egyptian week, but '''not''' at the same time as other "weekly" activities, such as thistle requests and ant leaves. The actual time alternates between two settings: 7 Egyptian days (2 days 14hours 40 minutes (or so) 'realtime') and 8 Egyptian days (2 days 22 hours 45 minutes (or so) 'realtime'). This allows us to predict when we can expect FBAs to change and focus efforts on longer 'weeks'.

Once the FBA has been conclusively determined, announcement on public channels will be made.

==Favored Beacon Activities==
Because Guild chat scrolls as quickly as it does, to minimize redundant testing of possible FBA's, what follows is a checklist of things to try, organized by type. Please note this is ''not'' all-inclusive and please feel free to try whatever isn't on the list. Likewise, activities will likely be listed that will ''never'' generate a beacon, but since we have so little data to actually go on, it is impossible to eliminate specific entries. When adding activities, please also ensure that the [[Guilds/Flavored_Bacon_Conspiracy/template|blank template]] is updated as well, so next week we can test the activity again!

=== On Testing ===
You can test anywhere, but if you have access to an unconfirmed number of non-public buildings in the general vicinity (thought to be 30% or more in a 64-coord radius, based on previous Tale data. ''This may be wild speculation.''), you will not attract a beacon, but you should get a message in main with something to the affect of ''A beacon altar was almost attracted to you, because you did the favored activity in the last hour. However, you own too many of the buildings in this area. You are at home.''

If you have summoned a beacon in the previous week or participated in a beacon ritual in the previous day, please do '''NOT''' test! You will not be able to summon a beacon, nor will you receive a message if you ''do'' perform the FBA for the new week.

Beacons can appear up to one REAL hour after the activity is performed, so keep this in mind when testing.

=== Potential FBAs ===

Elfus:

==Purpose==

The Flavored Bacon Conspiracy is dedicated to finding Favored Beacon Activities (FBAs) for the purposes of passing the Test of Beacons. As such, membership is generally open to players who have signed up for the Test of Beacons.

The Favored Beacon activity changes roughly once an Egyptian week, but '''not''' at the same time as other "weekly" activities, such as thistle requests and ant leaves. The actual time alternates between two settings: 7 Egyptian days (2 days 14hours 40 minutes (or so) 'realtime') and 8 Egyptian days (2 days 22 hours 45 minutes (or so) 'realtime'). This allows us to predict when we can expect FBAs to change and focus efforts on longer 'weeks'.

Once the FBA has been conclusively determined, announcement on public channels will be made.

==Favored Beacon Activities==
Because Guild chat scrolls as quickly as it does, to minimize redundant testing of possible FBA's, what follows is a checklist of things to try, organized by type. Please note this is ''not'' all-inclusive and please feel free to try whatever isn't on the list. Likewise, activities will likely be listed that will ''never'' generate a beacon, but since we have so little data to actually go on, it is impossible to eliminate specific entries. When adding activities, please also ensure that the [[Guilds/Flavored_Bacon_Conspiracy/template|blank template]] is updated as well, so next week we can test the activity again!

=== On Testing ===
You can test anywhere, but if you have access to an unconfirmed number of non-public buildings in the general vicinity (thought to be 30% or more in a 64-coord radius, based on previous Tale data. ''This may be wild speculation.''), you will not attract a beacon, but you should get a message in main with something to the affect of ''A beacon altar was almost attracted to you, because you did the favored activity in the last hour. However, you own too many of the buildings in this area. You are at home.''

If you have summoned a beacon in the previous week or participated in a beacon ritual in the previous day, please do '''NOT''' test! You will not be able to summon a beacon, nor will you receive a message if you ''do'' perform the FBA for the new week.

Beacons can appear up to one REAL hour after the activity is performed, so keep this in mind when testing.
