|desc=There was a guy who got himself one of these back in the thirties and made a big stink for a while as a crimefighter. Things have changed, though, and it takes more than a fancy personal flying machine to grant hero status these days. The average villain has more than just a gun and an evil plan; you've got to deal with mutant powers, foul death rays, mechanically enhanced sea creatures, and all sorts of dire henchmen. Getting there is only a small part of the battle.

Still, this thing is pretty darn cool.

Talk:Brontosaurus Bully

2008-08-27T17:31:17Z

Bamse:

Ok folks, let's start the talk. We all are guessing where this is from, anyone have any ideas how? - malk

Well the guy who had it, had watchdog rep if that is part of it. It could be a specific # [[reptile tile|reptile tiles]] or [[quill blade|quill blades]], "Dinosaur-in-a-haystack" might also refer to a semi rare adventure or an adventure that occurs at a specific time of the day (maybe what [[Ryme]] was talking about in the [http://www.twilightheroes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=25&start=520| TH forum].). Well those are my thoughts on it. --[[User:Reaper|Reaper]] 11:46, 25 August 2008 (MST)

Has nothing to do with reputation. Not quite sure what "Dinosaur-in-a-haystack" might mean, but it's not a semi-rare, or time-of-day adventure. - The Tinker

My idea is killing a certain number of a certain dinosaur in the Triassic area. There are fucking tons of them, so killing a specific one several times might be hard. [[Estemmenosuchus]], maybe? - Satan

"dinosaur-in-a-haystack" and "Brontosaurus Bully" had me thinking you earned it by getting a time-of-day adventure in which you fight a Brontosaurus as well. It might just be that the names are references to the books [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur_in_a_Haystack Dinosaur in a Haystack] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bully_for_Brontosaurus Bully for Brontosaurus] because Ryme happens to like them, and it doesn't have anything to do with anything other than the theme. And you're a Brontosaurus Bully for killing tons of them like Satan suggested. I think I spent about 300-400 adventures there, and I don't have the badge, so it's got to be more than that. - bamse

Could be an item based one (since rare and time have been ruled out), lizard tails maybe? We already have number of playing cards, crystals, bats, and drinks for badges, possible that it is a particular number of an item that get turned in. - malk

*Ryme has given a clue regarding an undiscovered merit badge. The clue was "poetry". This zone has a "verse of the dodo" drop. Maybe related? --[[User:Grimdel|Grimdel]] 21:07, 26 August 2008 (MST)
**verse of the dodo - 34 and no luck yet - malk
**Wasn't that clue given a while before the triassic park was opened? - [[User:bamse|bamse]]

Most adventures in Twilight take five minutes to play. However, time costs can be discounted with several game mechanics found on this page. Since discounted time is a bonus, negative values are preferred to positive ones for this mechanic.

Bamse: /* Spading stuff */

==Spading stuff==
Let's get this ball rolling!

matt the sort of superpowered vigilante (#9561) has honorable right now.
i also confiscated the cargo at the docks a couple times before accepting the black knight's challenge in the guild but it didn't change until then, so it might have been a combination of them, i know cheating the black knight lost honorable as matt the vigilante. [[User:Matt the vigilante|Matt the vigilante]]

I'm currently listed as Altruist. Don't know why (yet) --[[User:Lazyfire|Lazyfire]] 22:40, 18 April 2008 (MST)

Pseudoname-(Character ID #2444) I have Pragmatic, I chose the less heroic versions of the choices listed,I tried cheating against the pitch black knight, then I accepted bribes at the docks. I think I cheated about 3 or 4 times then switched to the docks. it changed after about the 3rd time i accepted a bribe.
Somebody said that cheating the knight 23 times did nothing so it might have just been the docks, or maybe those affected more or something
:* It could be a combination of things. IE: Chastity [#14101] fought the knight with honor 28 times. Is a fresh character, so not tainted with any past encounters. Did not have a chance from Balanced. Does not necessarily mean anything, but ya never know. Will continue to test until I hit 50. if I hit 50 and no change, I will see about finding other, similar non-combats, and see if maybe it's accumulative from -more than one source-. --[[User:Valera|Valera]]
::* 42 current encounters on Chastity. Tomorrow I'll begin to play with something else, and then jump around some. --[[User:Valera|Valera]]

It may be a number and gets deducted/increased by ''x'' each time you do something not heroic or something heroic. When the number gets deducted/increased to another number, you get another reputation. Each choice may deduct/increase the number differently. Please also mention the amount of encounters of the choices when your reputation changed. It appears that choices you've made in the past also count towards your reputation, best if we made a clean, fresh account like Val.--[[User:Chuwenhsuan|chuwenhsuan]]

Running away might effect your rep you might even be called a chicken, just a thought.--[[User:Reaper|Reaper]] 01:52, 19 April 2008 (MST)

In case anyone hasn't noticed, the button for all Rep adventures has the words "What do you do?", or something along those lines, or, at least, the three I've found (which counts the Knight and the Docks) have that. Makes it easy to tell if an adventure affects your rep or not, figured you might find it useful. --[[User:Therum|Therum]] 11:22, 19 April 2008 (MST)

Sorry, fixed something here, but wasn't able to do it 'cleanly'. Sorry for any inconvenience.--[[User:Olaf|Olaf]] 22:25, 19 April 2008 (MST)

Accessing the index page without having logged in displays a reputation of "Vigilante". [http://img31.picoodle.com/img/img31/4/4/20/f_vigilantem_5f25af3.png Screenshot] --[[User:Usi|Usi]] 20:34, 20 April 2008 (MST)

Okay, I was spading a bit. It seems that taking the bribe once and cheating the black knight once will give you "Pragmatic", and confiscating the cargo once and taking up the challenge once will get you back to "Balanced". I'll try again on my multis to test it out more. —[[User:Corrupt Shadow|CS]] 10:17, 21 April 2008 (CST)
:* Okay, I used a multi I haven't used in a while. I went back and forth between taking bribes and cheating the knight. It took 3 cheatings, and 4 bribe-takings to get "Pragmatic". —[[User:Corrupt Shadow|CS]] 10:27, 21 April 2008 (CST)

just a little question: has anyone gotten a rare drop since this has been implemented? Because i thought i heard something about your rep possibly effecting your adventures, and i was wondering if it could/would effect rare adventure frequency. --[[User:Reaper|Reaper]] 16:29, 22 April 2008 (MST)

It is said that your reputation won't affect anything. Also, we should use a brand new multi to spade things out because the choices you've done before reputation was implanted also affects you reputation.--[[User:Chuwenhsuan|chuwenhsuan]]
:*How can we know for sure that past choices affect current reputation? --[[User:Corrupt Shadow|CorruptShadow]] 05:39, 23 April 2008 (MST)
::*For sure? We can't. There is a strong likelihood though, from different people getting different results from the same actions. But for certain? No clue. --[[User:Valera|Valera]]
:::*Oh, I wasn't sure if [[User:Ryme|Ryme]] had said something about it or not. --[[User:Corrupt Shadow|CorruptShadow]] 09:16, 23 April 2008 (MST)

This isn't about past choices but Ryme said "There will soon be ways in which the reputations get you different results, for sure." so it sounds like reputation will do something eventually.

also the rave choice adventure seems to effect reputation differently than the docks one because i had honorable on a multi then chose to accept the loss at the rave and after a few turns of doing that my reputation changed to virtuous, then i took bribes a few times to see how it would change my reputation and got altruistic, before tried to change my reputation i was farming in the cube so it might have affected it too, i was alternating between right and center at the cube. so this isn't very reliable, but it seems like either the rave or the cube changes reputation differently than the docks
also does anybody know how to get vigilante?
[[User:Pseudoname|Pseudoname]]

Should we compile a list of the adventures that affect the outcome of one's reputation? --[[User:Corrupt Shadow|CorruptShadow]] 07:14, 25 April 2008 (MST)
:*Yes, I believe we should. --[[User:Valera|Valera]]

The character Matt the vigilante watchdog as a reputation. I got it by taking bribes while i had altruistic, but i chose to beat up the guy at the rave yesterday to try to change my reputation(unsuccessfully) so that could have affected the change too. [[User:Matt the vigilante|Matt the vigilante]] 20:19, 26 April 2008 (MST)

Now i have altruistic again after accepting the loss at the rave so that probably did affect the change. [[User:Matt the vigilante|Matt the vigilante]] 20:59, 26 April 2008 (MST)

Does it change at rollover? I'm pretty sure I was balanced before, just logged in and am now Altruist. - Darryl
:Mine changes after I make a choice that would have changed it [[User:Matt the vigilante|Matt]] 09:02, 27 April 2008 (MST)

Idea: Virtuous as a combination of altruist and honorable? I had altruist, accepted the black knight's challenge two or three times, and BAM virtuous. [[User:Darryl|Darryl]]

so we seem to think that the reputations are a grid and diffrent choices move values up/down and left\right
so do you think it could be something like this: 
Vigilante Judicious Just 
Watchdog Altruist Virtuous 
Pragmatic Balanced Honorable 
[[User:Pseudoname|Pseudoname]]

It's probably alot like that, except balanced would be in the middle. - Satan

if its like : 
_|Watchdog |Altruist |Virtuous| 
_|Pragmatic |Balanced |Honorable| 
_|Vigilante |Judicious |Just| does anybody know how to go down on the grid?

I've tried this on four characters after Ryme's second hint and choosing "Rough him up to get your chips back" on the That Man's Father Is My Father's Son adventure 1-2 times and "Cheat like the dickens" on the Glove Slap, Baby adventure 1-2 times took all four characters from Balanced to Pragmatic - [[User:Bamse|Bamse]]

==Vigilante==
Has anyone gotten this legitimately? I mean, without pulling up expired pages and the like? [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]]
:Olaf has it [[User:Pseudoname|Pseudoname]]
::Does he (or anyone) know how he got it? --[[User:Corrupt Shadow|░▒▓ CorruptShadow ▓▒░]] 15:28, 29 April 2008 (MST)
:::Bet you can't guess who else has this? --[[User:Therum|Therum]] 15:33, 10 July 2008 (MST)

==_____==

There is another one out there... it's on an alt I have. :) - Malk-a-mite
:Way to narrow it down there, Gilbreth... [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]]

==Reputation (dict)==

Is the [[Reputation (dict)]] page necessary? At this point it seems redundant. The two articles are essentially duplicates. -- [[User:Naborr|Naborr]] 12:33, 9 June 2008 (MST)
*That page is the official TH page about rep this page is the wiki version with all the detailed info.(When someone starts spading the adventures.)--[[User:Reaper|Reaper]] 15:25, 9 June 2008 (MST)
**In case it wasn't clear: (dict) pages are not pages for definitions written by/for the blandsauce wiki community. Instead, (dict) is used precisely where Ryme chooses to place words in his official Twilight Heroes Dictionary. For those dictionary entries, a pop-up window appears with a green "Twilight Dictionary" banner, and this wiki copies that text verbatim. That's why [[Reputation (dict)]] refers the wiki-user to [[Reputation]], where we clutter the page up with strategic details about reputation. Similarly, [[Chat (dict)]] should look different than [[Chat]]. --[[User:Tycho Everett|Tycho Everett]] 23:19, 9 July 2008 (MST)

== New Areas ==

As of late July 9, certain reputations give you access to new areas. Known areas and required reputations so far:

Robotics Club (at the University) - Virtuous

--[[User:Usi|Usi]] 21:34, 9 July 2008 (MST)
watchdog can also get to the robotics club [[User:Matt the vigilante|Matt the vigilante]] 22:52, 9 July 2008 (MST)

Added:
: [[League of Self Promoters]] in the Heavy Industry district - Reputation: Just
--[[User:Tycho Everett|Tycho Everett]] 23:13, 9 July 2008 (MST)

By the looks of things, Honorable gets nothing. ;_; --[[User:Missingno|Missingno]] 13:28, 10 July 2008 (MST)
Pragmatic doesn't seem to get anything either. --[[User:Aoi|Aoi]] 19:51, 11 July 2008 (MST)

Well it looks like this is going to be a big part of TH now, so we should rework the location template to add in a "Prerequisite", and we need to have Reputation separation (a different page for each reputation, with the benefits of being said rep).--[[User:Reaper|Reaper]] 14:15, 10 July 2008 (MST)

Robotics Club open to Altruist --[[User:Muhandes|Muhandes]] 04:18, 13 July 2008 (MST)

This is the page of the RNG. A very evil bot that tries to mimic the evilness of the true RNG.
 
 
Typically if you want a response from the RNG in chat you need to either directly PM the bot (ID 9298) or post in chat with the full name. 
Publicly available triggers for the Random Number Generator bot in channel 2 (gameplay and trade):

For some reason, every time you put these pants on, you start singing to yourself:

We can dance, we can dance / everybody look at your pants / we can dance, we can dance / every foe's takin' a chance.

Transmogrification (user guide)

2008-02-11T21:53:30Z

Bamse: /* Use Good Equipment */

==Transmogrifying. What is it?==

Transmogrifying is a process by which one changes [[Classes|class]] in this game. This is done by going to your [[hideout]], and accessing the [[Talismans]] section, switching to your starting Talisman (if necessary) and then selecting the option to change your Talisman into that of another class. This reduces your [[Strength]], [[Intellect]], and [[Reflexes]] back to their starting values, removes all your buffs and returns you to level 1 with 50 experience points. Your inventory and quest progress are unaffected.
 
==Why Transmogrify?==

There are numerous reasons one might wish to Transmogrify. Primary among these is boredom. If you're not sufficiently entertained by your current class, a change of pace might be just what you need to reignite your interest in the game. However, if entertainment just isn't your thing, transmogrifying can also get you on the leaderboards (we'll get more into these details later) or just give you more turns each day to play. There are even rumors that a healthy amount of transmogrification may lead to the acquisition of certain [[Merit Badges]] that are otherwise unobtainable.
 
==But it's taken me so long to build up my character!==

You're in luck. This guide, is intended to give you the tools you need to level up at a rate higher than you thought possible! If you follow these rules, you should have no trouble with both reaping the benefits of transmogrification while feeling powerful and capable, even at low levels.
 
==What to do and how to do it==

===Use Good Equipment===

When you were first playing through, your equipment was mostly limited to what you could find as you were adventuring. Transmogrifying, you're not held to such restrictions. With that in mind, before you attempt your first transmogrification, you should try and acquire equipment that is good at low levels. My level 1 outfit usually looks like this:

Helmet: football helmet
Main Hand: hedge slammer
Shirt: leather jacket
Gloves: Roderick's Gloves
Pants: leather pants
Boots: Roderick's Boots
Off hand: Aegis Flux Incapacitor
Accessory: silver star
Accessory: silver star

That's a lot of donation items, I know. They're not necessary, but they help. Notice though, that I wear a football helmet instead of a biker's helm, leather pants instead of denim pants, and a hedge slammer instead of a badly bent knife. They may all be weak, compared to your high level equipment, but the difference of a few power points will really make survival easier. Also, higher level Talismans can be a huge help, and if you switch into them at level 1 will only cost 5 xp to equip. I like my Thunder in a Bottle for the Elemental and Psion classes, and the Paradox Naught for Naturalist and Gadgeteer classes.
The [[:Category:Equipment_Summary_Tables|Equipment Summary Tables]] are indispensable tools for finding equipment that's ideal for each stage of your run.
 

===Use Good Buffs===

Getting your friends and fellow citizens of twilight to aid you with buffs can make a huge difference in how powerful you are. Now, they're not necessary unless you want to go as fast as possible, but they do help. Since I am interested in going as fast as possible, I usually don't take any turns until I have at least these buffs:

- Wind Warrior (Psion)
- Air Shield (Elemental)
- Fire Shield (Elemental)
- Ant's Strength (Naturalist)
- Spines of The Echidna (Naturalist)
- Summon Water Buffalo (Naturalist)
- Armadillo Armor (Naturalist)

Other buffs can be nice too, especially Snout of the Swine (Naturalist) and Metal Detector (Gadgeteer), but the first list are all the ones that will allow you to fulfill rule 3:
 
===Fight Tough Dudes===

This is the most important part, but the hardest to explain in exact terms, as you'll need to determine for yourself how tough of an opponent you can handle. However, this is what all your preparation with equipment and buffs was for. Compare Cannonball Tavern's experience gains with those of Bayside. Both can be patrolled at level one relatively easily, with proper preparation, but the Bayside will give 3 times the experience that the drunks at Cannonball Tavern. And unlike your first time through, you can get to all these places (except the Pit) immediately. You could adventure in the cube at level 1 if you were so inclined.
 
==So how do I fight such tough dudes? I can't even hit them!==

Remember that list of buffs I gave you? Well, Wind Warrior and Summon Water Buffalo can fight a lot better than you can at low levels, and Fire Shield and Spines of the Echidna (and sometimes the Paradox Naught) do damage to your opponents every time they hit you. That can be enough damage to kill any opponent so long as you can stay alive long enough for them to do the job. That's where the Armadillo Armor and Air Shield come in, to reduce the damage you take, and where Ant's Strength comes is, to increase your maximum HP. Particularly helpful for this strategy is the Aegis Flux Incapacitator, which reduces the damage you take, adds to the damage your opponent receives when he hits you and adds 20 to your base hp. With 2 silver stars, you get another 40 hp, which can have you sitting at 90+ HP at level 1. That's a lot for an opponent to take down when it hurts so bad to attack you. And it only gets easier as you gain levels, and get more HP and more damage resistance from better armor (and if you throw a crooked speedo on at level 2, more damage).
This isn't easy, it isn't cheap, you'll spend a lot on healing, but you'll gain many more levels a day than if you fought enemies who didn't hurt you. This makes classes with healing abilities at low levels, the Gadgeteer and Psion, much cheaper to run a day's play than the non-healing classes. Spellcasters (Psion and Elemental) get even cheaper, since they can start dealing out damage on their own relatively early on; for them, the pandimensional scepter (equipable at level 3) is indispensable, as it both reduces the cost of attacking spells and increases their damage.
 
==How does this help me get on leaderboards?==

Adrenaline Rushes.

Every time you gain a level you get +60 minutes added to your bedtime. If you drink Brays and Pepperjuice, just by levelling from level 1 to 7 (a relatively trivial task) you can actually play until 7am every day, and have 15 turns extra to bank and take with you to the next day. If you really really try to get every bit of experience you can manage you may be able to get as far as level 10 in one day. What this means, is come Frayday, you will have a backlog of adventures to start your day, in addition to what you earn from adrenaline rushes. This can be a an absolutely huge amount of turns. With the SUIT and ASX boards, turns equal SUIT points and ASX chips, so if you're maximizing your turns you're maximizing your leaderboard potential. That is how I went from not on the leaderboards to the top within a week. Even now, it would not take an an inordinate effort to get on these boards, as very few players use the transmogrification ray for extra turns.

[[User:Mad Hamish|Mad Hamish (#1877)]]
I think that covers just about everything. I tried to keep it coherent, but there's a lot of stuff that I had to cover, so I may have left something out. Feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer them.
