I'm a little bit done for this week. Every morning I was weary, what's unusual for me. So: TGIF!
Yes. I leave you now. You will be on your own here. And I go home and this weekend I will do everything to be tired on monday, too! So if there is a club in your neighborhood: watch out! I might be coming! 
Read you all here again next week, tired but happy.

So chinese text gets re-direction to chinese forum, while german text for the same word and meaning is still okay? Fine....

Cookie Clicker[^] - Broke
Cookie Clicker[^] - works
I started playing last night; when I left for work this morning I was at 30m cookies/second. I didn't bring my save with me to keep playing because I'm far too professionalADDOS.
A few tips for anyone too lazy to write a min/max spreadsheet. Initially you want roughly equal numbers of each type of producing structure, and should begin adding more expensive tiers as soon as waiting to afford them stops being painful. Once you've got a few dozen of everything and the better cursor upgrades 3 cursors per 2 of everything else is about right. Most powerups suck bigtime until you've got a few dozen of the structure in question. eg I had multiple time machines before I started buying the 30k powerups, because the return on the power ups wasn't high enough.
EDIT: Can anyone tell me why my first link above is getting encoded crap attached to the end? they look identical in the message editor.
EDIT2: After pasting both lines into an ascii only text editor, it looks like the first ended up with a non-visible unicode char at the end. Stupid Google; why do you have ot make it so hard to copy a link without clicking it. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Got a working URL now; but I'm baffled about how the original got screwed up...

I already wasted far too much time on that last weekend.
The prices keep changing with the updates (so re-evaluate your strategies after updates).
|
|
|
|

My min/max sheet isn't aware of how prices are calculated; I just plug in the price of a cursor and the CPS rates of everything else and it tells me what the breakeven prices are for the other structures. If they screw around with production rates I'll be in trouble since there's no easy way I can find to see what anything other than my cursors are producing.

Did you find out a way to solve this problem too?
Around the breakeven point,
- the cheaper item is better because it starts producing sooner.
- if the cheaper item has been upgraded more than the expensive item, the expensive one might be better because it would contribute more in the future (after upgrading)
I got lost in a jungle of math trying to work out how to take those effects into account.

Nope. I'm ignoring the marginal cost on the assumption that a few minutes of revenue from buying a cheap item earlier is much less significant than the losses from being AFK for more than the 5-10 minutes a time machine costs.

I just treated upgrades as a single purchase with an output of X CPS and bought them when cheaper than time machines. Except for a few of the most crazy expensive ones available (I didn't accumulate enough overnight for them) I'm buying them as they unlock since with 50+ of everything they're all well above breakeven. When I get home I'll probably be buying all the +10% and maybe the +15% cookie flavors. Probably the kitten upgrade too even though I've no idea what that one will pay out.

Time waster of the day indeed! Took me awhile to figure out what was wrong with the first url, but here it is.
The first url has extra invisible chars appended to it: http://orteil.dashnet.org/experiments/cookie/%E2%80%8E
And this is what it means: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-to-right_mark[^]
You're welcome!

I'd assumed the unicode garbage I picked up was some sort of magic space being abused for layout; but sticking that at the end of a displayed URL doesn't make any sense at all.

I'm reading a book on how to build bat houses that was published in 1993. It makes a reference to a company named Internet Inc that sold wire mesh. It was quite odd seeing a company named Internet Inc.
I think Google is the closest to a true Internet Inc.

You are under 35 aren't you?
In 1993, there was no Internet for most people. I remember looking at my first webpage at Uni at about that time, it was viewed as a novelty (but also hailed as the next big thing).

No.

I know, that is what I found amusing.

The consensus at the time was that it was hard to see how this was going take off. My opinion was that it needed to support images in the pages, so then people would use it for porn.

... That the little old lady was running away, so that proves she was feeling guilty.
Nice idea[^]. All you have to do is borrow a passer-by's phone...
