Oil Storm Cycles

What are Oil Storm Cycles?
Not to be confused with Rainmaker's Oil Rain (Sorry, Misty!)
Due to the construction and pollution from the multitude of Cog buildings, the environment of Toontown is adversely affected, leading to altered weather patterns that cause Oil Storms to fall upon Toontown.

What do Oil Storms do?

Effects on Cogs:

• Hydrates and lubricates Cogs, enhancing their power and productivity.
• Increases Cog health and damage by 10%.
• Boosts Cog battle join rates by 50%.*

Effects on Toons:

• Toons remain unaffected due to their strong will and courage.

What's in it for Toons?

Rewards:

• 3x Cog Promotion Merits.*
• Extra Experience Point.*
• 50% increased chance of obtaining rare Manager Stickers.
• Potential use in Kudos Manager Boss battles (subject to Toontown team's discretion).

What does an Oil Storm look like?

Visuals:

• Smog appears over Toontown playgrounds and streets.
• Darkened skies, playgrounds, and streets, with oil falling from the clouds.
• Similar to the rain effects from the Rainmaker manager battle and Toontown Rewritten's Bossbot HQ area, so this is already implemented in a way.

Concept Images:
Times are gloomy in Toontown Central..
Now Barnacle Boatyards looking more like a sea port!
Cheer up Toon, The storm will be over soon!
Really adds to the atmosphere, eh?
Wherever the Oil Storm is currently, a large cloud of smog would appear over that playground.
Alternative, with an icon along with the original dynamic cog invasion icon.
Attention all Toons! An Oil Storm is approaching!

How would Oil Storms work?

Implementation Method:
Allowing for dynamic control of the weather, an Oil Storm would be able to happen independently at specific playgrounds and districts at any time, For example: An Oil Storm could be at TTC, DDL, YOTT, BB, while the have none, while in another district it could be the opposite; no two playgrounds are bound to each other!
A way you could allow each playground to work independently is from the formula below.

• Calculating Cog Building Impact
  • Every 15 minutes, the number of buildings in a playground is calculated to set a percentage value for Oil Storm likelihood.
  • This dynamic implementation is akin to how the Cog tier affects playground invasions in TTCC.
• Logarithmic Curve Formula:
  • Formula: y = 1 - e^-z(x)
  • Variables:
    • x = Number of Cog Buildings in the playground.
    • y = Percentage chance (0 to 1) of starting an Oil Storm cycle (maximum 60% chance).
    • z = Variable controlling curve steepness (default -0.03).
    • e = Mathematical constant (approx. 2.71828).
• Process:
  • Every 15 minutes, a number from 1 to 100 is rolled.
  • If the number is ≤ the percentage, Oil Storm occurs; if > the percentage, it doesn’t.
  • Toons in that playground receive a 5-minute warning via a Weather Forecast alert to evacuate or prepare for Oil Storm.

Real-World Test Data (at Midnight Toontown Time):
Anvil Acres and Geyser Gulch were the least populated districts without invasions, and High-Dive Hills was the most popular district with an invasion.

Playground	Anvil Acres	Geyser Gulch	High-Dive Hills
Toontown Central	6	7	1
Barnacle Boatyard	20	20	19
Ye Olde Toontowne	18	18	17
Daffodil Gardens	18	18	17
Mezzo Melodyland	31	31	31
The Brrrgh	30	30	30
Acorn Acres	28	28	28
Drowsy Dreamland	29	30	30

Hmm, I noticed a very distinct pattern here... Anyways, putting these values into the Formula would give a

• Calculated Maximum Values for Oil Storm Chance:
  • Toontown Central: 19%
  • Barnacle Boatyard: 45%
  • Ye Olde Toontowne: 42%
  • Daffodil Gardens: 42%
  • Mezzo Melodyland: 61%
  • The Brrrgh: 59%
  • Acorn Acres: 57%
  • Drowsy Dreamland: 59%

I think these values are fine as this is for the maximum building values that I encountered which would be rare during peak times, but the z variable can be altered to change the results of each district separately.

Combating Oil Storms

There should be a way that Toons can combat this Hour of Power.. Or Oil Rain.
Toon Strategy:

• A Toon can combat an Oil Storm by taking over the Cog Buildings and decreasing the Cog Buildings in that playground, this in turn decreases the percentage chance that an Oil Rain cycle happens next cycle.

FAQ

Isn't this just the Rainmaker Oil Rain mechanic?
In the sense that...
While similar, The Oil Storm cycle provides a dynamic weather system to Corporate Clash (or Toontown Rewritten) making the game more immersive, adds lore, and adds more opportunities for different strategies to come into play, perchance. ^{YOU CAN'T JUST SAY PERCHANCE.}
Could the game even handle a Dynamic Weather cycle?
I don't know, I'm not a developer or staff member, but what I do know is there are a lot of strong willed people out there that have had the strength and courage to uplift a long gone videogame to bring into the future for not only the people of the past to enjoy what once was, but for newcomers to join and participate in such a wonderful game!
I'm talking to you, TTR and CC staff! ^\)^{and smaller servers, no offence meant.\})
Plus, concerning lag and performance issues, If Oil Storm cycles were implemented into the game, it wouldn't come close to the Acorn Acres' Waterfall. (BURN!) (someone call an Ambulance Chaser!)
Wouldn't this just clutter the game more than it is needed?
Perhaps, but with the fine tuning of the Toontown developers this mechanic could become something great! You could even make this an event as a Spring event only!
Here are some reasons why Oil Storm cycles would benefit Toontown:

• Enhances Gameplay Depth
  • Dynamic Challenges
    • Oil Storm introduces dynamic environmental challenges that keep gameplay fresh and engaging, preventing the experience from becoming monotonous and boring.
  • Strategic Planning
    • Players need to strategize and adapt to changing conditions, which adds a layer of depth and complexity to their gameplay decisions.
• Offers Meaningful Rewards
  • Increased Incentives
    • The mechanic provides substantial rewards, such as 3x Cog Promotion Merits, extra Experience Points, and a higher chance of rare Manager Stickers, which incentivize players to engage with the new feature.
  • Optional Engagement
    • Toons have the choice to either face the Storm for rewards or avoid it, giving them control over their gameplay experience.
• Integrates Seamlessly with Existing Mechanics
  • Familiar Visuals
    • The visual effects of Oil Storm are similar to existing weather effects in the game, ensuring consistency and familiarity for players.
  • Proven Mechanics
    • The implementation leverages existing game mechanics (e.g., particle effects from the Rainmaker manager battle), ensuring technical feasibility and reducing the risk of introducing bugs or performance issues.
• Enhances Game Lore and Immersion
  • Narrative Depth
    • The Oil Storm mechanic ties into the game’s lore, explaining the environmental impact of Cog activities and enriching the game's narrative.
  • Immersive Experience
    • The changing weather conditions add to the immersive experience, making the game world feel more alive and responsive to in-game actions. This would be akin to when they first animated the street props when the silly meter was unveiled long ago.
• Promotes Player Cooperation and Engagement
  • Community Goals
    • Encourages players to work together to reduce Cog buildings and prevent Oil Storms, fostering a sense of community and shared objectives.
  • New Task Lines
    • The Oil Storm cycle could add new Task lines to the game, increasing playability and rewards for Toons to achieve!
  • Active Participation
    • Keeps players engaged with continuous, time-sensitive goals, motivating them to log in and participate more frequently.

The addition of a weather cycle not only enhances gameplay and visuals, but also incentivizes the player into defeating more Cogs and buildings, enriching the game's lore and offering new challenges and rewards for players.
*Be aware that none of this concept is limited to itself, It is entirely up the the game developers to pick and choose what would be best for addition into the game!
And hey, this isn't limited to Corporate Clash, would anyone like a Space Toontown Server Race? Heheh. I hope I have been clear on my concept and have gotten your attention thus far. Feel free to comment your ideas below.
Thank you all, and have a Toontastic day!

Definition of OCR technology

OCR is a pivotal technology in the digital era, defined by its ability to transform printed text into machine-encoded text through scanning. The essence of OCR lies in capturing images of text from paper documents using optical input devices, such as scanners.
It then employs sophisticated image processing technologies and pattern recognition algorithms to decipher these text images, converting them into formats that can be processed, edited, and searched by computers.
The advent of OCR technology has significantly accelerated the document digitization process. Before OCR, the transcription of paper documents was manual, time-consuming, and error-prone. OCR technology automates this conversion, vastly enhancing both efficiency and accuracy in handling data.
This advancement allows for quicker access to information and more reliable data management, marking a substantial step forward in the digital transformation journey.

Technical principles

The core principle of OCR technology involves converting text from paper documents into digitally processable text using complex algorithms and systematic steps. Here’s a breakdown of this transformative process:

1. Image Preprocessing: Initially, OCR technology refines the scanned image to boost character recognition accuracy. This phase includes denoising, binarizing, and skew correcting to minimize image distortions and enhance text clarity, making it more recognizable.
2. Character Segmentation: Following preprocessing, OCR segments the continuous text into discrete characters or words. This critical step uses image processing techniques to delineate character boundaries for precise segmentation, preparing the text for detailed analysis.
3. Feature Extraction: Once segmented, OCR extracts defining features from each character or word, such as shape, size, and stroke. These characteristics are crucial for identifying and differentiating textual elements, setting the stage for accurate recognition.
4. Text Recognition: In the final step, OCR matches the extracted features against a predefined character library using pattern recognition algorithms. This allows for the classification and identification of each character. The recognized text is then formatted to mirror the original document’s layout, resulting in editable text.

As an advanced tool, pdftopdf.ai leverages these OCR principles to offer cutting-edge solutions. It continuously refines its algorithms and incorporates new technologies to enhance text recognition accuracy and document editability. By improving the process and quality of converting paper documents to editable PDFs, pdftopdf.ai significantly boosts efficiency and manageability for users, streamlining document processing, editing, and sharing.

Future development trends

As technology continually advances and its applications broaden, Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology is also evolving. Below are some forecasts for its future development:

1. Deeper Integration with Artificial Intelligence: The swift progress in artificial intelligence (AI) promises transformative shifts in OCR technology. Utilizing AI tools such as deep learning and neural networks, OCR systems are becoming more adept at comprehending and analyzing textual content within images. This enhanced capability not only boosts the accuracy and efficiency of text recognition but also enables OCR to adjust more effectively to complex and dynamic environments, offering users smarter and more efficient services.
2. Enhanced Multilingual Support: In an era of accelerating globalization and increasing international exchanges, support for multiple languages is becoming a crucial focus of OCR technology. Currently, OCR can process several languages, including Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean. Looking ahead, the range of supported languages is expected to grow, catering to the needs of a broader user base. This expansion will significantly enhance OCR's role in facilitating international communication and collaboration.
3. Advancements in Real-Time Recognition: Real-time recognition technology stands as a pivotal application of OCR technology, particularly with the growing ubiquity of mobile and smart devices. Moving forward, OCR technology will place greater emphasis on enhancing both the speed and accuracy of real-time recognition. This will lead to quicker and more precise text conversion, providing a smoother and more effective user experience.

The Science Behind Puravive's Effectiveness

Puravive offers a better alternative to exhausting diets and intense workouts. Many natural weight loss remedies fail to deliver long-lasting results because they do not address the root cause of the issue. Research has shown that low levels of brown adipose tissue (BAT) are linked to unhealthy weight gain.
Individuals who are overweight tend to have lower BAT levels, while lean individuals have higher levels of BAT. BAT is a special type of fat that actively burns calories, thanks to its high concentration of mitochondria. It is known as the most calorie-burning cell in the body.
Puravive enhances BAT levels, effectively boosting metabolism and promoting the fat-burning process. The natural ingredients in this supplement are carefully chosen to naturally increase brown adipose tissue levels.
In addition, Puravive supports the body in converting food into energy more efficiently, resulting in improved energy levels throughout the day. Say goodbye to fatigue and sluggishness with Puravive's unique approach to weight loss.

Article text:
By Caitlin McKinnon For The Salt Lake Tribune May 10, 2024, 8:05 a.m.
Motherhood. One the most demanding yet essential duties that billions of women have shouldered since the beginning of time. Yet, in society’s efforts to support this role, many unintended consequences have caused women to deviate from and postpone motherhood.
While there are the obvious reasons for delaying children: contraception, education, career plans, there are other reasons why I have been turned off to motherhood for most of my young adult life.
Growing up, many of my female role models were stay-at-home mothers. I observed their housekeeping, unconditional support of their husbands, moral contributions to the family and accessibility. I also observed postpartum depression, silent tears, disordered eating, worried nights and a lack of personal time. I admire them so much, but for a long time, motherhood scared me. It’s scary to think that once I become a mother, my body and personhood could be objectified, held hostage by idealized yet unattainable standards and evaluated by my body’s usefulness. Society’s pervasive maternal objectification causes women to self-objectify before they even become mothers.
As I reflected on this disconnect between how society encourages motherhood while simultaneously undervaluing the individual women in these roles, I was reminded of “the Madonna-whore complex.” This term, first coined by Sigmund Freud to support his Oedipal theories, describes a phenomenon that still permeates our societal views of gender. Originally meant to dichotomize female characteristics and sexuality into two parts, Madonna and whore, it is now a belief that perpetuates patriarchal oppression. Madonna refers to chaste, virtuous and motherly traits, while whore refers to promiscuous, easy and hypersexual traits. This has influenced how most men and women have internalized women’s bodies and purposes.
Women are often expected to fulfill roles and expectations that benefit men. When women are objectified, they are only seen in the role they are placed in. Society’s obsession with women’s bodies and agency is overtly seen in the sexualization of women, particularly in media. Maternal objectification is when women are seen as a literal object, a “human incubator” or “womb for rent,” and are “treated as bodies that exist for the use or consumption of others, stripped of their individuality and personality.”
Motherhood, though extremely necessary and remarkable, is undervalued. This contributes to objectification since it celebrates women for their body’s usefulness and dismisses the broad range of women’s experiences.
Once a woman becomes and shows she is pregnant, there is a cultural invitation to maternally objectify the woman’s body and identity. A recent systematic review of 23 studies on the objectification of motherhood found patterns of objectification at the hands of others and oneself. By others, many women experience a loss of autonomy especially with nonconsensual belly-touching, comments about one’s weight and appearance, and frequent questioning about when they’ll have another baby. One may cause self-objectification by adopting an outsider’s “perspective on one’s body and value.” Self-objectifying causes a disconnect between an individual and their body and correlates with postpartum depression, disordered eating, body shame, negative beliefs about breastfeeding and fear of childbirth. Even those who do not have children may start to self-objectify their body, forsaking personal identity for societal utility.
What are the consequences of maternal objectification? Women are not seen as individuals and are treated as flattened caricatures labeled as “mother.” When I was in first-grade filling out a Mother’s Day card for my mom, I was asked what her favorite thing to do was. I put “folding laundry.” It was not until I grew up that I realized how little I actually knew about my mom as a person. On top of stripping women of their unique personalities, maternal objectification also leads to isolation as some women may feel like their efforts are not enough or they do not meet the traditional stay-at-home image. This is detrimental for women as they contemplate motherhood, are in the thick of it or interact with other mothers.
So what can be done? Dr. Julie Hanks gave a TedTalk reframing motherhood from a role to a relationship. A central principle for this shift is valuing women in all their responsibilities and achievements, whether that includes motherhood or not, instead of idealizing motherhood as a role. In regards to self-objectification, women should see motherhood as a relationship, an opportunity to connect.
Another way to move away from maternal objectification is to recognize women as multi-dimensional. If mothers rely on all aspects of their identity in their endeavors, not only does their personhood remain intact but the idea of motherhood is expanded. Women can set themselves free from the false narrative that motherhood needs to be perfect. Forcing women in the Madonna-whore binary perpetuates objectification and causes harm.
Let us stop labeling and reducing mothers to a role when they are so much more than that.

Hey everyone, my name is Joon and I am a GrandmasteChallenger player on the NA server. I also achieved the Master rank in 100 games on the Korean server. I currently have 5 accounts in 5 roles in MasteGM Elo and I constantly play Solo Q to keep up with meta changes (No Season 3-High Elo-washed up player coaching here 😉). I am also a CLOL collegiate coach for Ryerson University-TMU and verified both on Pro Guides (https://www.proguides.com/coach/joon) and the League Coaching subreddit.
Why Choose Me?

My approach to each student is individual and I can quickly identify your strengths and weaknesses. Unlike many other coaches, my goal is not to push you to play my playstyle or my champions but to highlight YOUR strengths in your gameplay and minimize any weaknesses you might have.
Pricing

Do you offer bundles and plans?
- Absolutely, I include a FREE 1-HOUR session for a bundle of 5 sessions. (5 Hours + 1 Free)

During the trial session, I will focus on the common fundamental mistakes that you often make as well as point out some windows of opportunities that you tend to miss.
Rank Proof
Unlike many other "High Elo" coaches out there with no proof or accounts dating back to Season 6 or other prehistoric times when the game was completely different, I grind Solo Q on multiple High Elo accounts and servers constantly while reaching top GM+ ranks on every lane from top to bot on different servers (NA, EUW, KR) every season. In the last 2 seasons, I have climbed to Grandmaster + in every role. Accounts are posted on my discord for proof with screenshots and have my students added on my accounts as they tend to refer to my games for their own improvement.

VOUCH POST: https://www.reddit.com/LeagueCoaching/comments/nkx9td/vouch_post_for_joons_coaching

In this post I'd like to talk about what I believe Vitalis' ultimate goal was, and knowledge regarding the Macula. Why did he need Hugo and Beatrice further after gaining the Macula for himself, and why did he die with a smile on his face? Is he simply evil and manipulative, or a foreteller of the truth ahead?
(Please be warned that this post contains spoilers for Plague Tale: Requiem's ending)
• First things first, let's gather how much this old man knew of the Macula, and where the change began with him once he became afflicted by it.

• Basilius was first mentioned in Plague Tale Innocence, by two researching alchemists in the Bastion. Vitalis knew of the Macula even before Hugo's powers woke, but only strived to capture him, once the plague started to hit.
  
• Lord Nicholas' orders were to capture Hugo, but on many occasions you can hear guards say "capture children" instead. This gives idea to the thought that Amicia is a necessary pawn to use too, alongside Beatrice as well.
  

• There is a pattern, which aligns with the Order's symbols. It's purely theorical, and unclear, so please take note of that.

• In Plague Tale: Innocence, Château d'Ombrage is a place among many other hidden which are owned by the Order. It contains the symbol on the floor, which we see in detail for the first time.

-> The Phoenix/Fire, the Blood, and the Moon/Darkness.
This in Requiem changes into this:
(Third image)
(I take note of the symbol from Requiem, because it's different and I'd like to make it clear, that whereas here the Phoenix is the Order's symbol, in Innocence it clearly applies to the Protector.)
• So, with Requiem's symbol out of the way, let's analyze what roles the symbol's each sign applies to.

• The Phoenix is the Protector, the Flame. Originally, Amicia.
  
• The Moon/Darkness is the Macula, which's host is Hugo.
  
• The Blood, is Beatrice. The mother - the alchemist.
  

• It's likely, that Vitalis knew of this system, and it's importance at keeping the balance. Why?
"You may run, but no one can escape their own blood."
That is the line Vitalis said to Amicia, when they met the university. He admitted, that he's been watching her family, for quite a while now. In fact, saw her grow up even.
The Protector's role is dual. It is to protect the Carrier, and ultimately, with this, protect the world from the Bite.
• The man knew of the system, and so he tried to recreate it himself. His Protector was none else, than Nicholas. (If you haven't read the post about him, there I explain that it's likely Nicholas was taken in as an orphan and groomed into his present role) it's even more badass if you think that the original Protector, and the artificial one fought, from which Amicia came out as winner :)

• But what of the "Blood"? The role of the Alchemist is necessary, so he forcibly held Beatrice hostage with Hugo's experiments, even at the Conjuration.

• He knew of the system, kept it, what caused him failure then?

• With sending away his own Protector, out of arrogance, the balance fell. The Macula consumed him, and fed on his already growing hostility towards their current world.

• Let's take a little break to talk about this hostility. The New World, and the Old World, as he calls them, and his non-legitimate Inquisition.

• We need to think of the time period first and foremost. We are at the start, barely even cusp of renaissance. People start to escape the Church's regulations, our of a wish for individual humane freedom and expressions which begin to rise. In art, in education, and in beliefs.
  
• Vitalis, likely in his 70s at least, lived through the crusades, and the age of corruption, rise of orders, chaos caused by not one but two Popes chosen. It was a power-play, going on for way too long.
  
• The old world, which he grew up in and lived through, started to falter, and he likely knew, judgement is proper, destruction is needed, in order to build a world anew. It's also likely that this is why he later preferred Hugo rather than Nicholas as his own protégé, since Nicholas was a follower, a 'model man' of that old world, whereas Hugo, the youth, questioned him and changed him.
  
• The rats were the angels of the new world, fulfilling the prophecy of apocalypse. The four horsemen, war, famine, plague, death. All are present in the story, and also hinted. In the village's church, the windows show the four horsemen of apocalypse.
  

• His Inquisition was not one belonging under the Church, but one REBELLING against its rules, you could say, trialing the Church's beliefs, corrupted system as well. That is why Vitalis cared not that he is excommunicated, and why Nicholas didn't regard the Arch Bishop as an important person any bit, compared to Vitalis.

• Vitalis likely opened his believer's eyes, that the Church only causes war among them, meanwhile there is a Plague they should instead take care of. The Inquisition is entirely heretic, but they believe they are the only righteous, because no one dares to step up against the Plague's upcoming. This process of change is what he is the old relic of.

With Hugo under his wings later on, he realized even more so, that his planned changes were materialistic, and his goals changed with solutions more radical.
"You cannot kill what has been already sublimated."
• He injected himself with Hugo's blood, for various reasons. Controlling the Plague, contrary to popular belief, was NOT one of them.

• He was far too weak to maintain such control, even if the Macula gave him temporary physical uplift.

So why?
• His goal to stop the Plague, was through the Conjuration of the Prima Macula. Who was, Basilius.
But how would that even be possible? And what does it have to do with Vitalis "sublimating"? The Macula, tamed, or controlling its host?

• Vitalis realized something we reach the conclusion of only from Requiem's ending, where we see Hugo's consciousness remained within the Macula, even after he gave up.

The Macula, keeps consciousness, emotions of its earlier hosts. With this, by sublimating himself, Vitalis becomes eternally part of it, with Basilius, and Hugo too.

• With this, just as how Hugo felt Basilius' feelings, Vitalis understood Hugo's pure view of the world, and obliged to its whims. And perhaps, the next carrier, will "encounter" Vitalis's darkened consciousness along the way :)
  
• That is why the old man smiled. He knew he will die, but he became a "saint". Eternal, forever in the Macula. Forever in a bond, with Hugo too likely. With this, he can change the world, just later.
  

Side notes:
• The sky above the city is exactly like Hugo's Nebula. Once Hugo passed, and ONE OF THE PROTECTORS died, Vitalis passed.
• Vitalis viewed himself as a sacrifice, the CRUCIBLE where everything unites. This also hints at the shared consciousness which I mentioned earlier.
• With how Amicia (the protector) is able to have temporary control over the rats whilst holding the Carrier's hand due to their deep bond, it's likely Nicholas did the same with Hugo for this reason, although there the bond was forced.
I hope I explained everything that I wanted thoroughly, but if something is unclear (which I can imagine because this was a messy one), please feel free to ask and I will try my best to answer. Everything is debatable, so feel free to add your own ideas as well! :)
