Hello everyone! I, MasteredRed, would like to announce new services. On inspiration from http://officialproperdies.webs.com/ and other thoughts that make no cohesive sense, I would like to announce DUA WebCake. DUA WebCake is a way to bring life to your website. It allows you to start bringing fame to your organization via a web consulting service. This service offers professional suggestions like the one listed down below. You may ask, why would I want this service? The answer is simple. If you can draw attention to you organization through ANY means possible, then it's worth it. THE GOAL As shown by some organizations, you need to gather attention in order to grow. Once.you make everyone in the forums stare at you like that awkward conversation this morning, then this has done its job HOW IT WORKS To get free advice, email asixthmeme@duafaction.com and get your free advice. Our sixth best meme correspondent will then respond. Take a look at the free advice that has already been provided. EXAMPLES Q:"How can I improve myself and my organization?" A:"First, go back to the Stone Age in thinking. Second, make lots of noise. Third, write what you truly feel about politics in your organization description." Q:"What is your recommendation on what I post to gain attention?" A:"Post pictures of scrambled eggs on your organization home page. People will be curious." Q:"is there any way to gain members now?" A:"Simple! Just start posting your recruitment links in every known location and orifice possible." Q:"Is this a joke?" A:"Only as much as your life."

sigh. I was reading off of the wrong field. If you run the application, you would figure out how a mistake like that could be made.

mm. I think you are acting pretty immature here. However, you do have some right to be upset. First, I used the wrong version of the script and put out a broken version. I've fixed that now. You can use it. Secondly, I was wrong in my post prior to this. The suspected alt count was 27 in TVR. Not 66, as that was the number of users who had no pledge and joined on the same date as creation. Forgive me for that. Third, I have run it against other orgs org with an updated version of the script(not public) and have run it against my own organization, finding six of the following users. hambone891 2016-08-02 Zeroscare 2016-08-02 SureStorm 2016-09-12 FastestKiller42 2016-10-16 TheMasterKirby 2016-12-28 However, for the user FastestKiller42, he did join the enjin site(at the time), leaving me to believe that he is a real player. For TheMasterKirby, I invited him from Space Engineers and he joined on that day. As for the rest of them, I can't place them. Though that brings that number down to four. I also will not bring other organizations into the mix. I've discussed privately with some about what this application raised. The only reason I brought it up here was to simply deflect back the idea that organizations should be paid for that you suggested. Finally, if I wanted to bring up even more, I could. For an example, I could bring Dual Secure Mercenaries into the mix and give raise to question their suspected alts, but that is a childish thing to do. Trying to attack my claims by questioning my suspected alt count(as well with other orgs) is a childish thing to do. If you want to continue having a conversation about this, I suggest we move to a discord chat, as this discussion about "who is worse than who" probably doesn't belong on the forums.

So I would like to quickly apologize. The application was broken due to me using a past version of it for this upload. Now it is fixed and should perform as advertised. Sorry for the mixup.

Hello Everyone! So as I mentioned back in a post in this topic, I took advantage of the files in the DualScraper repository that was released. After extracting the data.json file, I split it off into two sections. One for the organizations and one for the users. I then built a python script that could analyze the data files and give you a approximation on how many alts are in any given organization. This means that it detects if the accounts joined the organization on the same day that they were created and they have no pledge status. I could not detect profile picture, bio, location, and other stuff to help give a better reading, but it should be understandable that these figures are an estimate. That being said, it reveals some information(that I will not discuss due to it being, well, risky for me to say in nature) and can really help us out in later times. Now with that being said, there are a couple things that I want to mention about my process of going about this in the first place. Foremost, this is a python script that I wrote in my spare time. It is built for Python3 and should be fairly bugless in nature. Secondly, it is using the data.json from the DualScraper project. Third, I did not scrape the data or use data that was scraped, besides the data.json file included on the repository(I tried. I have a feeling it's my environment setup.) Finally, I should mention that Scraping data off the community site is against the TOS and should not be done. From discussions I've had with NQ though, as long as the data is public, it's presumably fine(but don't take that as a one way ticket out of penalties for scraping. I'm not in charge of the site.) Now you may be asking "but wait? can't I just use the data from http://www.du-stats.com/devtools?" The answer to that is no. I looked through the data and it does not include join dates. Not to mention it's saved in a csv format. If you want to download the project, go ahead and do it here. https://www.dropbox.com/s/bzoy2iv0ves2h5o/AltFinder.rar?dl=0 I can't wait to see the information that you find. http://www.du-stats.com/devtools/ https://github.com/malignantz/DualScraper/ https://board.dualthegame.com/index.php?/topic/10974-so-many-organisations/?p=48636 Declarations: In no way have I accused any organization of anything, nor do I take responsibility for the accusations to be made because of this. I just provided the tool. I as well in no way claim that this will find an alt or is the alt finder. It only allows you to make your own conclusions. I as well did not scrape the data for this project myself(I tried. Again, my environment needs to be cleaned before I can even try) I do not endorse nor do I defend the practice of scraping. It is against the TOS and should not be done if you can avoid it.

sigh le sigh. So I'll take this seriously. I'm trying not to cringe. Here we go. If you want to suggest a way to eliminate spam organizations, you are too late to the table. Spam organizations are currently here for a primary reason of the game not being released yet. Due to the fact that this is a subscription based game, spam accounts are not likely to be filling organizations by the hundreds. This would cause a very big problem for the person financially. So there is no real problem when it comes to later game. Even if free accounts could join organizations, I'm sure someone will develop a tool to detect if there are too many free accounts in an organization. It is not a problem that I can see causing mass panic. If you are referring to the game as it is now, then you must realize that "paying" for org creation is a terrible idea. This would limit the creative freedom on the community and while it would do some good, it will mostly hurt. Again, you must realize this before suggesting "make it a paywall!" to the entire community. Now, onto another subject.... I would just like to point out some irony here. The other day, this was released https://github.com/malignantz/DualScraper/ I downloaded the data.json file and got to work on making a small little script to read through what I suspect to be alts of organizations. It's a lovely python script and here's how it detects "suspected alts". I look through the members of an organization, compare it to the member list, and read the following: Does the user have a pledge? Does the user join after the day their account is created? And if none of those are true, they are marked as a "suspected alt" that I can then output as a number. Now this data is about 11 days old(at the time of writing) and so the data is a bit out of touch with the current events. However, I determined that the number of suspected alts was 66. Now, at that time, The Void Republic member count was 74. Take what you want from that, but it's not appropriate for this to be the case. Now, I have given these scripts to a select number of people(such as Cybrex) so that they may do their own investigations. My point is that I'm not really putting up with these types of posts anymore. The solution will eventually fix itself so we must wait for that time.

So. I have a very good friend of mine who is dearly obsessed with Battletech lore, Heavy Gear lore, and Hawken lore(what little there is). So as I can answer, it may or may not be possible. The devs joked about it in the Q&A a long time ago in their Answer about rotors and pistons. So there is a possibility but as Lethys has said, doesn't look like they will be in the release of the game. So it is saddening. I would love to see the uses of mechs. Even though I have some knowledge of how they will not be as useful as hovercrafts or so on, I can still hope we build them.

As for everyone who might be wondering, I can say that the concerns that Novaquark addressed with me were brought up and everything was covered. There is no problem as things just simply weren't conveyed correctly. I have fixed that(hence modifying the post and clearing things up) and am continuing the project. Thank you.

Welcome to the community. It's always a good thing to see some eve players making something of their journey. If you need help on your organization, I'm sure many of the members, including myself, would love to help. It's good to have you. Once again though, welcome.

Addition of The Solar Empire Hello Everyone! I would like to inform you that we are adding another organization to the current service. If you would be so kind as to welcome The Solar Empire! https://duafaction.com/tse/ Why we are adding them? The Solar Empire is one of the organizations that we contacted before we launched the DUA Services. I have been working with their leader(MrStarWars) in order to determine if they would have valid interest and if they qualified. After running our tests to determine if they were a candidate, we found that they were such. Their member base is also fairly large, and they did not have a website(Nor is there any plans for one), making them a very interesting example of an organization that can benefit from our services. Due to their main appeal being roleplay, they did not need as much for their development, relying on their community in part. While I would not go for their approach(obviously. I started this service after all), I am happy to welcome them on-board. Thank you for your interest, MasteredRed of the Diverse Unified Accord

**inserting pun** I feel so happy now that my phone can be DUnified.

It's that time of year again. Man. Last year was E3 and it was the first time DU was showcased. To believe that it's almost been that long.

Well that's frightening. Although very useful.....

https://board.dualthegame.com/index.php?/topic/10414-official-dual-universe-lore-bible/ Look under Economy and you'll find it.

By the way, I just fixed a couple things on it. Now it's actually tracking unique visitors to the site.

Basically, the goal is to provide a service that is able to triumph over others when providing organizations with a webpage, member statistics, and so forth.

Yes. We got that months back. Happy to see you noticed.

I think I'll stop the discussion. The actual name for the currency is called Universal Unit or U2.

Thank you for your response. This isn't at all similar to CSYN though, as we aim to have a bit more involvement with our member organizations to help them plot their path. As well, we offer web services while CSYN plans to be based more in-game and doesn't want to host for individual organizations.

Hello Everyone! I'd like to welcome you to this topic today to announce the project that the DUA has been working on for a couple weeks now. This service will allow you to have an organization website without the hassle of setting it up yourself. Think of it as a way to create something interesting but not have to have all the worries of updating it and maintaining it that would normally be involved. While this service is by no means complete, it will showcase some early features that we are looking to provide you. https://duafaction.com/vms/ https://duafaction.com/tse/ Now some of you may ask the purpose. Let me direct you to the below paragraph. Our Purpose We decided when we began the Diverse Unified Alliance(Now Diverse Unified Accord) that we wanted to help organizations get on stable grounds in Dual Universe and really thrive. In order to do that, we have proposed a number of services in order to find out if they will be able to help organizations. While we can not nearly implement them all at the moment without access to the game, we can add a number of them now. This is the start of those services. We hold our ability to deliver upon these services high and hope that you will find a place for them in your organization. What you can expect As we announce this new implementation of our services, let me tell you what you can expect from them: -A custom designed webpage to feature the content you want on there -Certification for organizations that meet the DUA's standards -Ability to track the number of visitors to your webpage. As of now, we have implemented these features. For future reference, let me point you to what we plan to add. -Organization management panel -Tracking of organization statistics -Multi-page organization hosting We aim to pave the way for organizations to host their own content. While we can not reveal all our plans, I will go down to the details below. Cyrule Certification Cyrule Certification is a service for the individual member that allows them to vet whether the organization they are looking at is a valid and proper organization. In the future, such things may become a problem. As this services implies, Cyrule of the Diverse Unified Accord will examine each organization to ensure that they follow the standards below: -Does not contain Alternative Accounts(Alts) -Does not scam members -Does not engage in malicious practices -Looks to provide a worthwhile experience to its members If your organization abides by the standards above, then it is likely to be certified by our Cyrule branch. Requirements There are requirements for entry into this service. This is in part due to the fact that I'm not going to pay for large scale server hosting(like NQ). nor do I want to make a product that would eventually cause problems on a community scale(Needing to put your organization on multiple sites to attract attention). So, because of such, the following requirements are involved for your organization to be selected as a candidate or for you to apply for these services: -Does not contain many Alternative Accounts -Does have good standing with the community -Does look to gain a website -Does not tick me angry(ie. enemy) Additions to the above aforementioned requirements, the following does help your case of your organization's ability to join this service: -Is a friend of the DUA -Is a friend of CSYN -Is lead by a 'community leader' -Is small in size and looking for assistance -Is getting backing by some people or other organizations Conclusion These services are still under heavy development and will need more time to branch out. However, we offer early adopters a chance to be engaged in the early design process and give them an opportunity to make something great of this service. My name is MasteredRed of the Diverse Unified Accord. I thank you for your time.

wow.... WOW! lololol

I think NQ stated that genetic modifications will not be present.... But who says that they're genetically modified

Not even over 9000?

Twerk is right. These are trailers, the planets are brought closer together on purpose, and time is accelerated at multiple points. If you want something more informative, watch this.

I saw them.
