Ever wanted to send rats to your friends in a safe, caring environment with no risk of being stabbed, shot, humiliated or all of the above? Now's your chance! Brought to you by Ratco, Rat Sending Simulator 2013 allows you to truly simulate the exciting experience of gifting rodents to a friend. Built on the Storynexus engine, the Simulator features exciting features such as:
- Rat sending! Send rats to a friend, and get notifications when they receive them!
- Rat Points! Accumulate Rat Points by sending rats, and then spend them!
- Prizes! All the prizes are rats except for two of them!
- Gambling!
- Wells!
- Rat gangs!
- A plot written between the hours of 12AM and 4AM!
- Actually, no plot!
- The writing hours still apply.
- Strange metaphysics!
- Flooding!
- Vending machines!
- Rats!
- Literally no concept of game balance!
- Something vaguely similar to a certain storyline in a certain game!
- Absolutely No Plagiarism!
- Optional Death!
- Rat Royalty!
- Grants!
- Vague amounts of Comedy (TM)!
- Lots of exclamation points!
- A Finished Subplot!
- At least one storylet!
- Inconsistent Capitalisation!
- A Better Ending than Mass Effect!
- Misuse of the Living Story function!
- Misuse of Social Acts!
- Possible future Rat Expansion?
- And much, much more! Really much much more! I can't stop adding things!
- I'm out of control!
Any resemblance to persons living or dead is entirely coincidental. Any coincidences are a result of shadowy governmental fiddling from corporations such as the Illuminrati and Majestic Rat.
Play the video Game Sensation that everyone's talking about inside my head here! If the voices which govern my every whim say it's good, then it must be good!
why is it always four in the morning when i do these things. always
Incidentally, if something's horrendously broken or i've made some colossal grammatical, typographical or gamebalancological mistake somewhere please yell at me in some form. i'm not even sure if anyone is going to play this but i poured my heart, soul and waning strength into it. i hope you like rats
also you can maybe post your usernames in here if you want somewhere to share usernames so you can share rats with each other and get those Rat Points
Just listen to these glowing words of appraisal from our satisified customers!

For what it's worth i've spent almost the entirety of today poking at things, improving some stuff and adding loads of cards to the Rat Acquisition Deck. There's still almost no real reason to use it, because sending rats and then trading in with Rat Points is more efficent, but I don't really care because this is a dumb self-parody joke game with no semblance of balance.
However! There are now Intriguing Subplots and Special Items which can be gotten from opp cards! Excitement! Procure a rat bee! Talk to a well! Further a quest!
TODO NOTES: exciting egg simulation, making Kingship less terrible, adding more than five items and one quality

Hey Spacemarine! I'm a fan of your game and am creating a storynexus game of my own. I was wondering how you did the Bee Poison with the real-time countdown? I'm wanting to implement something similar with drugs.
Simple enough! It's a living story (Stories dropdown on the toolbar -> Living stories) which sets the Bee Poison quality to 0 after 3 hours (and some bonus effects if you have a certain item). Then, any storylet that gives Bee Poison subscribes you to said living story (Advanced options on the branch result -> living story).
If you need any more info on 'em, there's a fair chunk of informative text in the manual (if the hyperlink doesn't work, just hit ctrl-f and search for Living Story :v)

On a whim a week or two ago, I added a couple storylets at various levels of Avarat (25, 50, 75, 100, 150 and 200)... mainly just to goad Nitebrite into wasting a bunch of time trying to get it that high. The one at 75 is playable once, and sets your Avarat quality to a random number between 0 and 200. Nitebrite lucked out and didn't lose any progress :V

I think you need to space things out, maybe? So it's [q:Fiber Optic Wire] * 20 instead of [q:Fiber Optic Wire]*20
...admittedly I'm not absolutely certain if that has any effect, but I always just put spaces in to be sure.
You should probably make sure you have the quality changes in the right order too; first the Credits change, then set the Fiber Optic Wires to 0. Also you might just have a loose HTML tag if the page just breaks when you try to play the branch.

Spaces don't make any difference. I never use them. I do a similar thing with selling stuff and it always works fine for me. If the mistake was in your quality change code it would break when trying to save that anyway, not with playing the branch.

Did you know it's 2014? Apparently I didn't! But it is! For real!
I have updated Ratgame to correctly reflect the current state of the Gregorian calendar. There are also a few minor updates; if you log in, a storylet will tell you what's up! If you make a new character you won't see that storylet, because none of it will make any sense to you anyway. happy twentyfourteen yo

Into each game some NiteBriteness must fall, and by that I mean someone has to play the game in a way it was never meant to be played. In the case of RSS2K14 this burden has fallen to me.
About me:
[spoiler]I was found abandoned in a wicker basket and raised by rats. As such it pains me to part with even the measliest member of my large extended family.
Despite my humble beginnings I have stumbled into Kinghood thanks to the anonymous donations of shadowy benefactors. In my free time I like to contemplate mortality and billion rats, increase fanciness, and brew over bees. Having tasted both power and delicious brews I have begun to foster higher aspirations.
If you have a surplus of any kind of rat or precious metal, send them my way.[/spoiler]
tl;dr: I am going to win the game without sending a single rat, even if it kills me. Please send help. (Cash is also acceptable.)
(mayexist in Storynexus, may in RSS)

Getting back to Hell took a bit of digging for me too, because one of the necessary steps is in a place that I no longer have any reason to visit (rat sending).
It's 777777 -> candle -> hellacious brew -> hell.
Bring something to help you out (kingly brew, godly brew, being a god).

Debt is, in fact, good for you! "Crippling" isn't all that high I think, but if you rise it by another order of magnitude or so, it will unlock a potentially exciting new area! All this unique experience you will have there!
And aren't we all in it for the experience? Yes? No? no? rats? Yes?

what formula do you use with godly manifestation storylet which claims to scale the rewards :explonentially: but apparently scales them linearilly? i fail to grasp how avarat 10 can produce 8 god points.
There's a different formula for each individual item. (only about half of them actually scale exponentially). its not meant to be a major source of god points in the slightest; it gives 2 * a random number between 1 and your god level

i sort of forgot that living stories drop after you make a new character; however i also thought up of a new and exciting way to make it work instead (its effects kick in at the same time that bee poison is removed)

action costs on opp cards are weird and pretty much never work. They're usually there entirely by accident.
the 3-action cost on manifestation is because it used to be a pinned card, but then i changed it to not be a pinned card and forgot to remove the action cost
I'll try and fix those later but my router is dying a slow death today and it makes trying to edit storynexus almost impossible

I added a little tooltip to the Unrepentant quality to explain where you get it! It's a separate quality to being a king (but being a Clockwork Rat King is a prerequisite to get it)
Also the Heart not cooling down was because of a Storynexus bug that just got fixed this morning.

Oh whoops! I did a dumb thing with the numbers on that one and I'm surprised I didn't notice sooner.
(namely i made it ten times as good as it was supposed to be and added a superfluous random number effect that could cause the reward to be negative)
Should be better now!

Interesting. The "Someone else?" card in the Rat Storage Zone doesn't have the proper requirements set on the social actions. I can send a message or rats to anyone through it, despite the fact that it should be limited to people in the Rat Storage Zone.
Fixed! I used the wrong messaging social act, so it could send messages to people in the default instance (i.e. the rat zone) instead of people in the same instance.

Additionally, I have no clue what the requirements for brewstorming someone else is. They're probably arcane and complex, though. I mean, usually.
They need to have a Chef Hat. I don't know why I set that as the requirement, but there you go. Chefs only.
Cake Ninja wrote:
EDIT: Oh, right, I had other bugs to report. For example, I can't progress in the seeking. I found the well, send the 777777 rats, and made the brew in that order, and I think that broke something. Was the sending supposed to have a requirement slightly higher than it does?
You can get the candle and then make a Hellacious Brew out of it, which sends you to Hell Zone. Except I guess the Brew has a slightly higher requirement than the Candle. So that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, might as well fix that.
Normally you go to the well, get candle, go to the Rat Book, go back to the well, do stuff with other opp cards, go back to the well again, and then go to Hell Zone. And then you can finish up the quest by going back to the well a bunch more times.
Cake Ninja wrote:
Also I can't read books anymore, but I'm assuming that's caused by my tyrant quality rather than a bug. I mean, it's not caused by my circuitry. I tested.
If you have a chef hat, you can get eggs from the books. But not books from an egg, because that'd be silly. Maybe I should add a few extra requirement-free books, though.

EDITEDIT: Whoops, just forgetful today it seems. Busting out of Jail Zone by being above the law resets debt, but not crime. Also, almost every card in the Rat Storage zone, as well as Anonymous Donation in the God Zone require an action to play.
I had the two Bust Out options the wrong way round. Welp! Fixed those.
And well, they say they cost an action, but they... don't. It's just an awkward bug that comes about from me creating stuff as Always cards first and then moving them into the deck rather than putting them in the deck at first. I'll try and get rid of any of those superfluous action requirements I find, though.

I think the progression should still be:
[spoiler]
well -> get candle -> rat book -> well again -> various cards -> well again -> ???? [/spoiler]
I don't think that's changed.
Also! I think I'll use this post as an opportunity to point out that I've been noting down random tidbits of ideas during my long, dull bus journeys. Maybe I'll commit some of them to the game this weekend! Maybe in a few months! Maybe never! excitement

You need a Billion Rat for that. You make a Billion Rat by accumulating 999999999 rats.
A billion rat is also the key to getting to the very endgame content, once you reach it you'll be making millions of rats everywhere
The crown's message is really outdated, I changed some numbers around but I forgot to change that line of text. I'll fix that! Eventually! Not right now because I'm about to go to bed but eventually
seriously though get a billion rats to proceed (use the Heart for maximum efficiency), one of the things im working on right now is something like the hint shop from earthbound so there's a bit more direction to this stuff

Okay! I added more new exciting stuff because I had some ideas for new exciting stuff at six in the morning while i had a terrific headache!
Rat Gambling is now better! You can win more and lose more! Your losses are tracked with a quality! Play the new exciting game of Double or Nothing!
Enter the First Official Rat Tournament! Sign up using a card in the Acquisitions Deck. Then use a new exciting pinned card to progress through branches of the Tournament until you can become the Grand Champion and win a Prize! What IS the Prize? Nobody knows! Maybe you'll know if you can win!
more stuff might come if i get another headache epiphany later idk
if i ever monetize this dumb thing it's literally just going to have one branch that costs 1 nex and playing it calls you buff + powerful and that's it

I have an important announcement to make: You can now eat Rat Eggs.
No i don't know why this is a thing you'd want to do either, but it's apparently something that somebody, somewhere wanted to do. So now you can.
That is all. I'm going to go overdose on pineapple chunks again to see if it helps me come up with more dumb garbage. I think i'm like officially a Game Developer (TM) now and will have my own golden palace + personal continent within the week.

Yes! I'm not going to tell you how but it's totally possible now.
well, briefly, i still haven't completely finished the thing containing it. But soon!
Okay! I did it! At the bequest of those who wanted "more shiny things that go Bing!" I've added... well, more shiny things that go Bing! Four paths of achievements, each with three distinct levels! Achieve-tastic! Please note that Hell Zone will still strip away your accomplishments because Hell Zone is merciless and hates your guts.

I personally think it's the best game I've ever made.
The fact that it's the only game I've ever made is completely irrelevant.

Ditto! I am - cunningly - called Lady Rat in-game, rather than Lady Red. Help!
I figured I should update this. Little The should be good now, and I will start on Lady Rat. xKiv I'll leave to y'all.

The Hell Zone does not obey the same naming convention as the Rat Zone. It is merely a Hell.

I suppose mailing hells through the post is out of the question, then?
My cooking options are reminding me of a question asked by one of the Videlectrix classics.
Where is an egg?

You get the same amount of points either way, but you feel like less of a jerk if you give someone else points. You're like Robin Hood, if Robin Hood gave rats to the poor. Rat Hood.

I think you underestimate shiny pointless things that go bing. But it's fine, of course. I'll just continue to play by my own rules and measure myself against my own win condition.

Maybe I'll take a look at improving the "Shiny things which go Bing!" side of the simulation a bit later then.
incidentally i have absolutely no idea how this thread has six pages already but it's great

You better start buying rat-based decorations in bulk then, because ratgame has a colossal 136 players. through the power of Mathematics i can assume that the entire world population will be playing this game by this time next year.
I haven't done any calculations on this whatsoever but it seems inevitable, really.
Also this is the seventh page of this thread.

If ratgame eclipses FL I will send you a written apology.
Really though the fact that anyone's playing it at all is great (also see: bizarre, perplexing, anomalous). Thank you for enjoying ratgame.

My name's Mr Puckeridge, and I'm a rataholic. Delighted to receive any and all ratly packages. Until I have 77,777 of the things, at which point presumably I go mad and destroy myself.

This is lovely. And really disturbing.
But I have far too many Rats, and not enough people to send them too. So if you want rats (And who doesn't?) just post here and I will oblige all of your rat needs. Well. Not all of them. Because some desires are insatiable.
