Now you can't beat savern brawl

@shoodong

As mentioned a few times, we like to help. You have to consider though that all of us don’t monitor this forum 24 hours a day. You can expect to get an answer in 24 hours, though this might depend on your problem (if it needs an admin, it can need longer, because there are not many admins).

From the timestamp on your posts, I can see that all have been submitted about 8h ago, in a relativly short time-frame.

8 hours ago, it was 5 o’clock in the morning for me. 5 AM is a time at which I usually sleep. 5 AM is not a time at which I usually hang out and answer posts.
San Francisco (the place where nick works) is about 6 hours behind me. I can imagine that, as a hard working person who deals with this game already his whole work-day, finds something else to do at 23:00 (11 PM).
I don’t know from the top of my head where the others live, but I know that the active members are spread across the whole world. If no one answers directly, it is either because no one who is currently active knows an answer, or the person who could answer is currently not active.

Please stop excessive calls for help. They do nothing for the conversation, but instead clutter the thread and make it hard for future users of this forum to gain any useful information.
During one day, you opened up a lot of new topics, which I (tried to) answer noce and friendly, even though the threads lacked quality. It is no problem (to me) if you don’t know how to post a good post. I once started in a forum and immediatly received 3 flags because I signed the post with my nickname (which apparently was against the forum rules). I learned from this, and started to quick-read the forum rules for every forum I join so I don’t run in another faux-pas.

What I can’t stand is excessive ignorance of hints to improve the quality of your posts. Here a short list again of things you should do before opening a new thread:

  1. Search the forum! If the level is not brand-new, your question has most likely been asked before. Use different combinations of words which all describe your problem. If at first you don’t succeed, rinse and repeat.
  2. Describe your Problem! Saying “Level is bugged, help me” ensures that you’re answer will need longer. A good post should contain an accurate description of your problem, any error message, what you have tried to solve the problem and possibly a screenshot, if the problem is hard to describe with words.
  3. Often, if you try to understand the error, the solution will jump right at you. Try to read your code as fluent text. Ask yourself: “If there is an enemy and this enemy is above me and the enemy is below me… Wait, thats it!” Sometimes you (and me and everybody else) mix up some code. Usually, going from top to bottom and think the conditions, method-calls ect. through helps to solve the problem. The best help you can ever get is the one you provide yourself
  4. Indent your code! I would say half of all code-problems posted in this forum are somehow related to un-/wrongly indented code. And this is not only because most players use Python. JavaScript-Code with wrong identations is hard to read. You accidently skip the closing bracket of a while loop, and immediatly you think that the following code is inside the loop when it is not. I recommend the de-facto-standard of 4 whitespaces per indentation-level.
  5. Be patient! Most of us don’t get paid to monitor this forum (though some would like to be paid… maybe next time). Therefore we spend our free-time on this. As I spend my time on other things as well (sleeping for example), an answer can need a few hours.
  6. Be friendly! That should explain itself, and doesn’t really concern you. It is here just for completness sake.
