@WiiMini You can't, as long as two sides hold different views or opinions, there will always be drama. However, as I explained in my last post, isolating it and ignoring it will kill it as you are denying it's ability to spread.
The germans were also desperate at the end of the war, as seen with their development of super weapons such as the V series. So that shouldn't be your major source of evidence. The gun also damaged the bomber during testing so oof.
@NexusGaming It would still weaken the airframe over time. Also, due to air defenses such as SAMs, that size of aircraft would pose a large and vulnerable target (assuming you are traveling slow and around a target to shoot your large gun). It would also cost a lot to maintain and build, and you are also limited with the amount of rounds you can carry. So in the end, it would be better to invest in a smaller caliber and aircraft.
@WiiMini Oh shoot, fun fact, I know little about economics. However, I am in the process of learning about it through school and private research. I talk about it and relate it to SP to help me remember it and better understand it.
So to answer your question, I don't know. Amazon seems like a safe bet to me with my limited knowledge. You should do research on your own as well to see what best fits you.

-How to advertise your posts by abusing the mechanics of the human mind
-Capitalist SP Vs Communist SP
-Downvotes: Yes or no Note that I may or may not cut some depending on multiple factors
If you have some suggestions I would love to hear them
@KnightOfRen No, just ignore haters. It's hard at first, but you will get used to the complaints and stuff. Also, as your building skills get better, they will begin to lose out of ammo to support their arguments. It's all a waiting game now.
@AustralianBoi That is their choice and you can't do nothing about it. It's also your opinion. Finally, no one cares about your opinion on the site either way as one, your bronze. Platinum players and high ranking gold players have built up a following, which gives weight to their voice.
Anything else? Once again, I suggest you remove your post from the sp website as it will do nothing but bring more attention to the drama, leading more people to make more post like this and create a cycle. This will lead to an exponential growth of the drama as more and more users are exposed to it and make posts about it.
@KnightOfRen Thats the problem. I support the actions of neither side as they both are at fault. One for their continued harassment and one for their choice of reaction. Be the better man, block them or something. Good luck with your war and please, keep it away from the forums.
@KnightOfRen You also need to take command here. This is your issue. You and yourr followers should be the better people here. Ignore the haters, listen to them, etc. Violence is never the answer. There are no winners in war, only causalities.
@WiiMini Thats the problem, you have became the very thing you are attempting to stop. Your plan of action is flawed. There are many examples of when peace prevailed against violence.
Conclusion, Minorities can be powerful. We should not try to snuff out their flame, but come to a compromise that both sides benefit from. I also do not agree with your conclusion. Wars are a last ditch effort only used when diplomacy fails. There is also a reason we use water to fight fires. You will only create more drama with your current plan of action.
So, ever noticed how you have 20 downloads but have only 1 upvote? Well, you are not alone. Literally almost everyone else is having the same issue.
Why your builds are not getting more upvotes
Upvote to Download ratio and how it effects us
What is an Upvote to Download ratio? An Upvote to Download ratio is a number that tells you how many upvotes your build will get for every so many downloads. You can calculate this yourself.
So, if your build has 4 upvote and 20 downloads, your upvote to download ratio is 0.2, or 1 upvote to every 5 downloads. You can get the latter by making the decimal a fraction.
So why isn't the number of downloads and upvotes equal?
From what I can see, the issue arises from two things.
-The public users
-The silent majority
These two groups contribute to the problem, but for different reasons.
Public Users
Have you ever downloaded a build to try it out but forgot to come back to upvote it? Perhaps the thought of upvoting never crossed your mind. No matter the reason, it happens to all of us.
We, users with Simpleplanes accounts, do not always upvote the builds we download. This could be cause by many thing, from simply forgetting to do so too just not believing the build deserves your upvote. This is part of the reason why our upvotes do not match the amount of downloads.
The silent majority
There is a large mass of invisible users hidden from our view. They watch and observe in the shadows, downloading your builds without leaving a trail. Who is this mysterious group?
0 point users and people without accounts.
Yep, they are why so many builds of our builds have so much more downloads to upvotes. They simply can't upvote your build.
Putting it all together
So, whats with the graph? This is the ratios of 100+ user builds, ranging from 1:4, a build with one upvote and four downloads, too 9:12500, the most upvoted build on the site. With this, we can see that the ratio between upvotes and downloads decreases the more upvotes you get. But why?
This is due to the silent majority.
The silent majority comes into play once the build becomes popular. This could be reaching the front page making the highest rated for day/week/month. This is where the silent majority will see your build and begin downloading it.
Till then, users get their downloads primarily from users like me and you, who will occasionally scroll through hottest and newest or find the build through a te
@WiiMini You can't, as long as two sides hold different views or opinions, there will always be drama. However, as I explained in my last post, isolating it and ignoring it will kill it as you are denying it's ability to spread.
Tbh, there is a chance I may actually reach platinum through forums lol
@Learpot Its fine lol, still a fun read!
The germans were also desperate at the end of the war, as seen with their development of super weapons such as the V series. So that shouldn't be your major source of evidence. The gun also damaged the bomber during testing so oof.
@WiiMini That would be greatly appreciated
@rexrexThezion Why do you think I write forum posts instead of posting builds lol. Kidding aside, Ill take a look at it.
@WiiMini I see, and what! There is a forum post cool down?
@KnightOfRen @WiiMini Maybe you two can make your own forum post about an unique topic relating to the SP website. Tbh it's getting quite lonely
@NexusGaming It would still weaken the airframe over time. Also, due to air defenses such as SAMs, that size of aircraft would pose a large and vulnerable target (assuming you are traveling slow and around a target to shoot your large gun). It would also cost a lot to maintain and build, and you are also limited with the amount of rounds you can carry. So in the end, it would be better to invest in a smaller caliber and aircraft.
Since you would be getting 559,152 points from a forum post, you would actually be able to get Platinum 22 times.
@Learpot Thanks for the suggestions, some of these are pretty interesting, especially the 1 Million? Is it possible? and New rules.
@Learpot I actually have done a few of these already
-How to be successful in the community: How to become Platinum
-How forum post upvotes only slightly matter: Platinum through forums alone
@NexusGaming So is it possible, yes. It's just not viable in combat.
Any other questions?
@KnightOfRen Alright. Funny thing though, I was actually thinking about doing that after the meme builds
@WiiMini Oh shoot, fun fact, I know little about economics. However, I am in the process of learning about it through school and private research. I talk about it and relate it to SP to help me remember it and better understand it.

@Inuyasha8215 Bet
@WiiMini Oh I see
@TurtlesThatFly Yee
@WiiMini Wdym by Business Casual before the takeover? Also, look at my quotes in my bio owo
@WiiMini Of course
@WiiMini Thanks for being a follower <3
@KnightOfRen Lol, I honesty don't think your builds aren't too shabby. It's your build style and people just can't see past rank.
Fun fact, the statement not to shabby is a Litotes, a rhetorical device that uses a negative to cancel an understatement.
@KnightOfRen No, just ignore haters. It's hard at first, but you will get used to the complaints and stuff. Also, as your building skills get better, they will begin to lose out of ammo to support their arguments. It's all a waiting game now.
Short term solution, block them and report.
@rexrexThezion Just follow these three simple steps lol

@AustralianBoi
Sorry for the small post today, I promise other ones will be longer and have more in them.
Nice build
Im also not defending him, I have disproved your statement that your conclusion is based off truth
@AustralianBoi Do it then, no one is stopping you.
You have no following, so your voice holds little. Mine holds more than you as it is based of a fact and reasoning, not opinion.
@AustralianBoi That is their choice and you can't do nothing about it. It's also your opinion. Finally, no one cares about your opinion on the site either way as one, your bronze. Platinum players and high ranking gold players have built up a following, which gives weight to their voice.

@AustralianBoi I wouldn't be surprised if your dog can build better builds than you
@MrSilverWolf Shall I tear apart his argument in my search for the truth?
@AustralianBoi Your truth is not the truth but an opinion and no one cares about your opinion as it is related to drama.
@KnightOfRen Thats an amazing record, but I don't see how it trumps the announcement of funky trees or other events
But how is this the biggest day in SP history?
@KnightOfRen Thats the problem. I support the actions of neither side as they both are at fault. One for their continued harassment and one for their choice of reaction. Be the better man, block them or something. Good luck with your war and please, keep it away from the forums.

@NexusGaming For the updated versions, they are no longer available for android.

@NexusGaming Mods are not longer supported by the latest versions of the game. Plugins are different from mods.
