@7Blue_Beast7 I wouldn't worry too much about that.

@spugsley you have nothing to be afraid of from Ebola so long as you don't touch other people's blood or poop or other fluids.

spugsley

@Frank the Bridge should have a meeting place and then when the world goes to shit we can be awesome and game and read comics and shit

Ktash

@spugsley My mom has canned good to last for years. I know because I think she still has cans from the 90's

7Blue_Beast7

@GnomeSlice Why shouldn't I worry about Ebola?

Frank

4:01 AM

@spugsley And probably die quickly, because we don't know the first thing about surviving in a world without electricity. :P

Yuuki

@7Blue_Beast7 Because I'll die before any of you if it does break out of Dallas.

GnomeSlice

Because I'm pretty sure there's not really any danger of an outbreak in north america

spugsley

@Frank well, at least we can go out with a huge fucking nerd party

Ktash

@spugsley You're a long ways away from me. But if everyone in the country is dead, it probably wouldn't be too bad of a trip. No traffic

Frank

@spugsley There are worse ways to go, I agree.

Frank

@Ktash Well, I grew up on a farm. I can take care of myself, but I don't know the first thing about procuring things like chickens and whatnot.

Ktash

@spugsley There's a movie about that. But I can't remember what it's called right now

Yuuki

Yuuki

@Frank Find a farm?

Trent Hawkins

@Frank if minecraft has taught me anything - throw eggs, you'll get plenty of chickens.

spugsley

@Ktash :o is there really? Man people already taking my ideas

7Blue_Beast7

They have tried some kind of medication and it supposedly worked

Yuuki

Ktash

@spugsley Well, I already know how to shoot a gun... lockpicking?

Unionhawk

I have basic first aid training, but that's better than nothing I suppose.

Yuuki

Although I am really rusty at the latter.

spugsley

@Yuuki that's good!

Ktash

@Yuuki But we have guns. Locks become... easier

Yuuki

4:09 AM

@Ktash Depends on where you shoot to open the door.

And what size of gun you have.

Ktash

@Yuuki Or how many bullets you want to use ;)

spugsley

@Ktash you have to save ammo though

Q: Numbers Attached to Battletag

Just curious if anyone knows what determines the number assigned to you. I would assume it's chronological starting with #0001(or #0000) but I can't really say for sure. Any ideas?

battle.net

How on earth is this question about game design and development?

Asking what algorithm the developer used in a concrete place isn't about game design/development. Asking what algorithm they could have used might be, but this isn't that.

TZHX

@StrixVaria it's something that only Blizzard can really know, though.

5pike

Feels like "This includes speculative questions about developer intent, with respect to both mechanics and narrative".

fredley

It's developer intent. It doesn't matter what the developers are developing, if it's about their intent it's off topic.

StrixVaria

@TZHX Maybe. It could be looked at with some kind of analysis given a big enough pool of player ids, which aren't exactly hidden.

@fredley But it's not "intent" if they've already done a thing and it's there to be looked at.

@5pike That is for questions like "Why did the developers choose to make numbers at the end of players' battletags?"

fredley

@StrixVaria It's still looking into developers heads. Maybe you could predict what they were doing by looking at a large pool of data, but what if your model was wrong or not quite right. Also this is a waste of time.

StrixVaria

10:22 AM

@fredley The utility of the question at hand aside, I disagree that a question of this nature is "intent".

Asking what algorithm is used in certain other cases could be useful, and if there is concrete information about it, then that certainly can be used in a good answer.

fredley

Yeah, I can see that kind of thing being useful in terrain gen, or item drops or whatever.

TZHX

I'm fairly sure that it's random, not ordered. I don't believe there's 1300 other people with the same tag as me.

badp

The difference between developer intent and reality is called bugs

fredley

Why is it that we expend the greatest brainpower over the stupidest questions?

badp

@fredley bugs

fredley

10:24 AM

@badp #WisdomOfBadp

Arperum

Brainbugs?

TZHX

And I can't imagine what actual use the information could be put to, other than guessing battletags that are "real" for spam.

StrixVaria

@fredley Exactly. So I don't think this question is categorically off topic, even though it's definitely a meh question.

Wipqozn

@John It's true. I pay @Lazers to star things for me when I'm afk.

badp

besides if there is a way to test a battletag for existence, the random-or-sequential check is almost trivial to make

fredley

10:25 AM

@StrixVaria I mean, you could rephrase from 'Any Ideas' to 'Is it known, and if not why not?' and get something useful I guess.

badp

like, add as friend your battletag - 1, does it exist? what about your battletag - 2? etc.

There's an API and various websites that allow you to check if battletags exist by actually going to the profile.

@fredley My company uses Taboola.

We have three taboola widgets on our article pages, along with a bunch of other crap:

thechronicleherald.ca/metro/…

Look how fast that website loads! So fast.

Like the flash.

@Wipqozn Such load, wow

@Wipqozn Also ghostery finds a lot to complain about

6 blocked ads, 9 blocked trackers

Wipqozn

@fredley That does not surprise me.

That reminds me, @MBraedley, the herald site should redirect you when you're on a mobile device now I believe.

Heh. So my town was joined by another (tiny) town recently, with the old keeping its full name as the town district's name. It's new full name is thus ... "Bad Kreuznach-Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg". Try to fit that into any normal-sized address field. Thanks, Germany. ;)

@Wipqozn It wasn't this morning

@MBraedley hm, doesn't appear to be working for me eiter.

I'll need to mention that to the guy who supposedly set the redirect up.
