We're all chilling in /room 18 right now, come join us!Yummy Dead Cow posted:For whatever reason the game won't allow us to invite you guys into Goon Squad unless you guys are online. This kind of sucks since most of us use the built in tribe tab to find whatever room the goons are currently in which varies day to day. Therefore we can't tell if you're playing or not! There are a few options out there to play with us though! We will periodically bump this thread with current popular rooms where you can join and pester officers into adding you. Or alternatively you can join the steam public group here: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/GoonM and see if any of the officers are online. Remember that  game from the past few It's once again time to play Transformice!    Transformice is a flash-based cheese eating physics game that got goonrushed pretty hard when it first came out, and we’ve maintained a presence ever since with our own tribe. The objective, ostensibly, is to collect cheese and return it to your mousey hole with the help of a shaman, who is able to cast spells and build objects to help his fellow mice achieve their objectives. Players take turns fulfilling the role of shaman based on how successfully they get cheese as disciples. What actually happens, more often than not, is that the shaman will do everything in his power to kill all the mice under his care. Such are goons. Here's a good introductory video from the previous threads: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJReZRji7tg A lot has changed since then, most notably the addition of user-made maps that do all sorts of crazy poo poo from setting up races to launching you into orbit, crashing your browser and more! To explain how broken this game can be, here's a brief description of the ANVIL GOD seen in that picture up top: quote:The game utilizes a nice little physics engine, allowing you to make all sorts of crazy devices to launch mice around and potentially glitch out the game. There was one round where I played in where a shaman hooked up five or so anvils together with hinges, causing the entire contraption to fling itself into the air, spinning wildly and hurling a dozen or so mice off the level. It was too fast to get a decent screenshot of though. Sounds ridiculous, but what’s the gameplay like?  ITEMS Arrow just points at a spot, can be used to guide other players or fake them out Spirit causes a small explosion that throws mice around, very useful for beginners Anvils are heavy, can weigh down stuff Planks and Boxes are self explanatory Balls can be bounced around, people hate when you build with them Cannonballs shoot off in the direction the arrow is pointing in, will not go up Trampolines bounce mice high into the air Balloons float upwards, press space bar before summoning to let mice climb on top of them Runes slowly fly into the direction the stylized arrow on the rune is pointing at, but very unstable when not anchored Portals instantly teleport mice from one spot to another, but are usable only on some stages Ice instantly turns a mouse into an ice cube, killing them and possibly blocking other mice but can only be used twice Items can be rotated with the mouse wheel or z/x keys Hold down your left mouse button to place an item, a progress meter will appear to guide you  Learn to use hinges or people will hate you! Items can be hinged with the C V B N buttons on the keyboard, press the same button to move the hinge on the item between possible positions. C is a yellow joint, stiff and springy, can only be attached to dynamic, non-”ground” items V is a blue joint, like the yellow one but loose and should never be used unless you’re trying to kill mice B is a red joint, the only joint that attaches to the background. Can only be put on planks. N is a blue joint, just like V but it's motorized so it spins on its own and the cause of many physics glitches Spacebar to turn an item into a ghost version, which enables mice (but not other items!) to pass through it. Always press after your intended hinge because adding or changing a hinge type will revert the object to solid. Chatting is also fundamental! Enter or clicking the chat bar will let you start typing T will quick-fill the /t command in the chat for talking to the tribe instead of the room R will place /c username of the last person to have whispered you for easily responding E will throw confetti, not much use outside of being fun to look at K will toggle English/French keyboard layout, don’t press this ever Have some pictures to break up the wall of text:           Some other important stuff if you plan to stick around more than a couple hours: In battle stages there are two shamans and two different colored mouseholes. The shaman gets points if mice go in the mousehole of his color, so feel free to try and kill the other shaman. There are also stages where there are two shamans and only one kind of mousehole. In these stages both shamans get points no matter what hole the mice go in. LEARN TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE I mean gently caress, don't kill the other shaman on coop stages (unless you feel like being a colossal prick of course). Also, learn how to wall jump. The pros can time their jumps in a way that they are able to surmount the tallest obstacles, and the game has gotten to a point where it’s almost a necessary skill. In essence, you need to jump at a wall so your nose touches it while you move down, then jump off it at an upward angle far enough away so that you are able to turn around and land on the wall again. Rinse. Repeat. It takes lots of practice, but the basic strategy that I use is to roll my fingers on the keys; the pattern is A,W,D (or Left, Up, Right with arrow keys) but the timing is tricky. Keep trying, you'll get it, and if you have problems go into our tribe house to practice on the various materials. When you want to change your title, type /title to get a list and then /title number to select it. A lot of goons really like Gleany, /title 27 once you’ve collected 700 cheese. Hats can be bought from the shop (Menu -> Shop) with the pieces of cheese you've collected. New since previous threads are fur colors/patterns that cost either way too much cheese or in-game microtrans funny money called Fraises (Strawberries) that are also why there are no longer any pesky advertisements before you can play. Also new for the current Valentine’s day event is luvbux heart money for buying items that are only available for a limited time. The previous threads are here if you want to see some pictures and read funny stories: (2010) Multiplayer co-op cheese thievery with fun physics (2011) Gleany as gently caress (2012) Making dong totems since 2010 A decent wiki about game play is available if you’re interested in technical details: http://transformicewiki.com/index.php?title=Main_Page Much more useful is the community website Cheese For Mice where you will find a maps database, a forum full of (mostly) useful information, and some leaderboard thing where you can learn all about the wonders of thejkb Brazilian overlord supreme. Alright, this sounds awesome. How do I play with goons? 1. Go to: http://www.transformice.com/ 2. Create an account, it’s really fast and simple 3. Log in to the EN1 server with the British flag 3a. Register your email/password through the menu to get some free cheese and an earring plus the ability to recover your account 4. Post your account name in this thread to get invited to our tribe, the Goon Squad and find out what room we’re all in 5. Join said room with the /room roomname command or clicking the arrow under someone’s name in the tribe menu 6. Get all fuckin gleany and earn hats Shout outs to Akoogly Eyes, Spiderjelly, and NO LISTEN TO ME for the previous thread! Swilo fucked around with this message at Mar 10, 2013 around 22:55 |

Gotta say, after playing this for a while it gets kind of addicting. The weird physics can provide for some absolutely hilarious situations, and some of the mouse hats are really cute

FAT BATMAN posted:Man, I used to play this game all the time, and if it wasn't for pesky responsibilities I would have never stopped. I never did get down walljumping. Is that still a thing? I'm convinced my ability to walljump is dependent on completely random factors, like the weather or what I've had for lunch.
