Q: Is it a good idea to get Akmagnus as a Magnus replacement?

Icarus NerdSo, I have a Magnus, and I want to know if it is a good idea to craft another one so I can get the dual-wield version, the Akmagnus. I like the Magnus, and I also liked Aklato. I need to know if it's a good idea.

 
Christ, people are stupid. This guy claims to be sheriff. I'm sheriff. I investigate him as mafia. he gets me lynched, so now everyone knows I"m not lying
They still keep listening to everything he says
 
THERE CAN BE TWO SHERIFFS
BUT YEA, PEOPLE SEEM REALLY BAD AT LOOKING AT WHO IS DEAD
 
@Sterno The biggest problem with games like this is that it relies on other people not being stupid, which is a difficult thing to ask of the internet.
 
@Sterno what is your name in salem?
 
@MattGiltaji drplote
@Wipqozn Them being stupid sometimes makes me feel smarter, though!
 
6:15 PM
@Sterno cool, friend invite sent

Q: Does Xbox live stack

grace gamesI have a month of Xbox live if I go ahead and use my live now will it stack? Never tried just wondering don't want to waste my money.

 
@Sterno True
 
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, but what sheriff lynches someone on day 2 for no reason?
 
@Sterno i dunno, sometimes i think everyone just wants to play jester even if they are not assigned that
 
We should all play Town of Salem this weekend.
We can even say it's Game On and get nostalgic.
 
6:19 PM
@MattGiltaji I don't see it.
what's your name? I'll try going the other direction
 
@Sterno GodEmperorDune
 
@Sterno Did you send me an invite? IF not, send it to gnomeslicerocks.
 
@Wipqozn I did
I don't know that this is workign right for me though
I keep seeing weird error messages
 
i hate that its flash
because the flash plugin keeps dying
 
@Sterno The game seems to be very buggy.
 
6:21 PM
i've gotten like 2-3 minute pauses during a nighttime round
and if you refresh, no way to get back into the previous game
 
I might have time for a game or two in-betwee work and Netrunner

Q: How do I maximize FPS?

CharkzI run league of legends on the highest graphics settings. Even when I play the game on low I still sit at 60 FPS. My resolution is 1920x1080. My PC specs are a i3 3rd gen 3.3GHz Prossecor NVIDIA GTX650 Ti Boost GPU How can I increase my fps? I understand the eye can't see more then 60FPS but...

 
and by might I of course I most likely will
and by most likely will I mean it depends on whether or not I decide to visit my grandmother in-between work and netrunner
 
Ha
New game, I'm jailer. Night one, I get roleblocked, mafia killed, and serial killed
 
and by if I decide I mean I most likely will visit my grandmother so there's a good chance I won't have time
and by good chance I won't I mean I'll probably still have time for a game or two
and by ET CETERA ET CETERA
 
6:25 PM
Probably because I named myself Dora T Explorer
 
Ugh, there's this stupid nitpicky question on BCG that's at +15 because it got tweeted and probably hit the hot list
 
@murgatroid99 Which question?
 
It's basically a couple of people complaining that a ruling on the Magic rules by the guy who writes the Magic rules is insufficiently justified

Q: Am I obligated to identify cards owned by an opponent?

RainboltNathan controls Jeskai Infiltrator. His deck has green sleeves. Anthony controls three Mountains. His deck has blue sleeves. Anthony casts and resolves Act of Treason, gaining control of Infiltrator. He attacks Nathan, deals combat damage, and triggers and resolves Infiltrator's ability. Anthony ...

 
@Sterno Doge The Explorer would be better.
 
It has 6 answers, 3 deleted answers, and about a hundred comments across the whole post
 
6:31 PM
@murgatroid99 This seems like a poorly designed card. I assume only the controller of the manifested card can peek to see what the card is?
Also is there a way to differentiated "morphed" cards from "manifested" cards, or do you just have to remember?
 
@StrixVaria yes
@StrixVaria you have to remember. It's a rule now that you have to track what effect put each face down card into play
or turned each face down card face down
 
I thought I remembered a card with an effect "Gain control of target permanent you own." but I can't find it now.
 
I's and l's man
literally hitler
 
@StrixVaria There are a few. And Homeward Path gives everyone all of the cards they own
@StrixVaria It's only an issue when combined with control changing effects
 
@murgatroid99 Which really isn't that rare, from my memory of the game.

Q: How many stages are there in Danmaku Unlimited 2?

Shadow Z.While playing Boss Rush mode, I realized it stopped at the 5th boss. Are there really only five stages, or did Boss Rush only go that far because that is as far as I went in the normal game type?

 
@StrixVaria True, but the fraction of games where your opponent will own a Jeskai Infiltrator and you will control it is very small compared to the number of games where someone will own a Jeskai Infiltrator
 
@murgatroid99 The rules should still be comprehensive. I can understand if they missed this edge case, but now that it's been brought to light, hopefully they address it in the next official version of the rules.
 
@StrixVaria If you look at my answer, I don't think it is an edge case.
It probably would be best, though, if they just made it explicit in the tournament rules
What really bothers me here is the tone of the whole question
 
I always thought that "owner" was a property of the card that was always known. I'm surprised there isn't a rule already that explicitly says that.
 
> 707.6. If you control multiple face-down spells or face-down permanents, you must ensure at all times that your face-down spells and permanents can be easily differentiated from each other. This includes, but is not limited to, knowing the order spells were cast, the order that face-down permanents entered the battlefield, which creature attacked last turn, and any other differences between face-down spells or permanents.
 
6:43 PM
@StrixVaria From a programming point of view, the way I read rule 108.3 is that every card has an "owner" property, and that is always there no matter how much you move, rotate, or shuffle the card
@OrigamiRobot that was also quoted in the second-highest voted answer
 
Yea, that's where I got it.

Q: How does the damage for a Rocket Launcher work?

Shadow Z.I main Soldier, so I want to know my weapon to its fullest capability. To do that, I want to know about how much damage each shot will do before it hits, or before I even fire it. What is the damage equation for the Soldier's Rocket Launcher, and how does it work?

 
I'm really having fun watching this Psychonauts Devs Play
 
Now I'm seeing someone obviously throwing the game to the the other side for unknown reasons. This game is aggravating
 
6:48 PM
@murgatroid99 I don't think it's an edge case either
 
At the end she said she wouldn't lynch the other person because it was her IRL friend. So the game ended in draw.
>.<
 
If order that permanents enter the battlefield is explicitly stated as an example, control changing effects are a logical extension of that.
It also matters because when that creature dies, it will go to it's owner's graveyard.
 
first interview: Aced. Tuesday technical tests.
Expected payment increase: ~25-33%
 
@OrigamiRobot The original revision of my answer mentioned that.
 
goddamn
 
6:53 PM
cc @KevinvanderVelden @Yuuki
 
flash crashed on salem, again
 
@OrigamiRobot This seems bad but fun.
 
Ownership has to be public knowledge for that card to work.
 
@OrigamiRobot That's a good point. I'll add that to my answer. Not that it will matter, probably
 
6:56 PM
Curious artwork. the reflection shows an empty hand, but it does not show the reaching hand either.

Q: When does the AI add provinces to the Empire?

ErikIn patch 1.8 the bug that caused the AI to never add provinces to the HRE has been fixed. Under what circumstances does this happen?

 
@Arperum Nice, congratulations.
 
@Yuuki Yea, they sounded really enthousiastic.
 
So I think I'm ready for MH4U.
Just soloed Gore Magala in 12 minutes.
 
7:03 PM
Already told the N° 2 of my current company that he can go find someone else. He'll probably push the 60 day project onto me (because I have to do ~11-12 weeks or so from the point of being fired)
 
@Sterno That's the kind of thing where you need to be able to say "Do not play with this person"
 
Is someone here TbYourdoom on Town of Salem?
 
@Sterno @KevinvanderVelden
 
Yeah, that's me
 
@Sterno That's stupid.
ALso: Summer breeze tickets bought :D
I can has festivals!
 
@TimStone i love our fcc chairman
 
@MattGiltaji He's done a few neat things recently, but before that when he sounded like he was going to cave and not support net neutrality, he was the worst.
 
Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about him in general now
 
... Coda literally attacked Pixel. Who is twice as big. And ended with a pluck of Pixels hair in his mouth.
 
@Arperum Coda?
 
7:29 PM
"While Verizon told the FCC that consumers are satisfied with 4Mbps/1Mbps"
idk who would be satisfied with that
 
@GnomeSlice My new kitten.
 
goddamn it
was totally about to win salem and flash crashed
AGAIN
 
@Rapitor Verizon's ideal customer is someone who would pay for 50 down/50 up but be perfectly satisfied with 4 down/1 up
 
everything about this article just makes me want to flip multiple tables
 
Meh, they passed the new standard.
 
7:35 PM
Hey, my AT&T U-verse 'not DSL' is no longer broadband.
 
@Fluttershy Nihilumbra in the bottom tier
Also Spy Chameleon!
 
I wish John Oliver was in season to comment on the FCC ruling.
 
@GnomeSlice have you played most of these games in the bundle?
 
I have only played two of them actually, but I own all but AR-K
But from what I know of the rest they're all pretty good.
 
cool
yay, got SK in this new match
 
7:42 PM
And Coda is not happy I locked him up after his repeated attacks on Pixel.
 
Can you choose to not kill anyone as SK?
 
yes
but where is the fun in that?
 
Can the serial killer choose himself?
 
@Yuuki Yes, but you only win if everybody else dies
@MadMAxJr No.
 
@MadMAxJr yes, it's called suicide
 
7:55 PM
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ You can only do that by leaving the game.
 
@GnomeSlice that's a lot less gruesome than I expected
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz
I think I've finally done it
 
@GnomeSlice Congratulations

@Lazers burn faster~
moar dots~
 
8:12 PM
slow down there cowgirl
Was @GnomeSlice the first one to play salem on the bridge? Did he start this Salem madness?
 
@Wipqozn Yes
I recognized the name but was convinced to try it by another friend I met on Steam fairly recently.
 
@GnomeSlice Time to update this
Mar 7 '14 at 14:56, by GnomeSlice
@Wipqozn This is the happiest day of my life.
 
@Wipqozn btw farsky is too short
 
you guys really need to play all any instead of classic
much mroe wild
 
All Any is nuts
 
8:15 PM
Time to play a custom game
 
I've only done it twice, and the second time I died on night one.
 
played one as an SK and there were 4 bodyguards
now i just won as a witch
 
oh cool I'm jester
 
Jester is fun
 
i played jester too cool and didn't get lynched
 
8:16 PM
Kind of tricky though since you can't really make yourself look suspicious
 
SK was fun
 
oh ym god
I was killed opn the first night
 
i claimed exe and town lynched real exe
 
by mafia
wait, what
I'm not? whatever
 
I was a serial killer, claimed I was the doctor, the real doctor's name was "imthedoctor" and no one believed him.
 
8:18 PM
lol
survivor died first night.... why would he not use his vest?
 
@MattGiltaji There's a limited number.
And the chances of getting picked night one are slim.
 
@GnomeSlice 4, more than anyone else's limited ability

@TimStone Bahaha
 
@JasonBerkan That';s wesome
 
I'M PLAYING MTG TONIGHT, BUT I KINDA WISH I COULD JUST PLAY SALEM ALL NIGHT INSTEAD
 
salem is so damn addictive
 
@GnomeSlice Is this game any good?
 
@StrixVaria I do not know, I just thought the article was interesting.
I've never heard of the game, shockingly.
 
I guess I'll try it out.
Marketing +1
Nevermind. Description says action RPG. I don't want an action game on my phone.
 
8:41 PM
Also, I was "playing" an All Any game last night, but in reality I was talking to @StrixVaria about Avatar and not paying attention to the game.
I was the Vigilante and got 3 perfect shots.
 
@OrigamiRobot nice
 
Completely random
 
ooh, jailer
 
The way you guys are talking about this Salem game, it just sounds like virtual werewolf.
 
It is
It is exactly that
100% that
 
8:45 PM
Ok, so now I know I can safely ignore it forever.
 
Boo on you!
 
Boo!
BOOOOO
 
Everyone boo him!
And boo @Wipqozn for good measure
 
BOO @Wipqozn
Why am I booing @Wipqozn? Except general principle
 
Werewolf is the geek equivalent of those "just for fun" party games where no one actually keeps score.
 
8:47 PM
Just finished a gsame of salem as the investigator, and I won. Was a good game.
 
I told you, for good measure.
 
Okay, I'm off for netrunner + grandmother visit. LAter all.
 
@StrixVaria Score is always kept in geek games, by definition.
 
@OrigamiRobot I thought that fell under general principe
 
Do you need another reason?
 
8:48 PM
No, not really
 
Salem: The Witchening
 
Real life werewolf is a lot harder because you have to be so quiet at night.
 
@OrigamiRobot Oh you also liked the idea of the game Fiasco, right?
 
Also because werewolf have sharp claws
 
Fiasco is possibly the least interesting thing ever invented.
 
8:51 PM
Nope, not doing the your face joke
 
Fiasco has at least one interesting thing. The creator's last name is Morningstar. So I assume it is written by the devil.
 
Fiasco is awesome and you are wrong.
Nearly as wrong as people who don't support Net Neutrality.
YEA I SAID IT
 
But just nearly

8:54 PM
I mean, let's not hyperbolize here.
 
@OrigamiRobot Except Werewolf has 2 roles, and this has a dozen or two
At least, the versions I ever played
 
Ultimate Werewolf is a party board game designed by Ted Alspach and published by Bézier Games. It is based on the social game, Werewolf, which is Andrew Plotkin's reinvention of Dimitry Davidoff's 1987 party game, Mafia. The Werewolf game appeared in many forms before Bézier Games published Ultimate Werewolf in 2008. == Gameplay == Ultimate Werewolf can be played with 5 to 68 players of all ages. Each player has an agenda: as a villager, hunt down the werewolves; as a werewolf, convince the other villagers that you are innocent, while secretly attacking those same villagers each night. Dozens of...
PLUS WHATEVER'S IN THE EXPANSIONS
 
Well now I need to play the 68 player version
 
goddammit. The one day I forget to place my car inside it starts snowing.
 
@Arperum Weren't you the one who mentioned that you never get snow when I was complaining about how much snow I was supposed to get?
 
9:09 PM
@Arperum IS MAFIA! CONFIRMED!
 
No one ever wants to kill me when I'm jester
whereas I randomly die on N1 or N2 with most other roles
 
I'VE NEVER BEEN JESTER
 
So many quitters
I swear every game at least 25% quit (before they die)
 
this was better than I anticipated
 
@StrixVaria We're getting less snow then before, this is basically the second time it snowed this winter, and the previous time it was all gone by noon.
 
9:14 PM
Ouch. A guy was just killed by the jailer, mafia and serial killer in one night.
 
I SAW THAT HAPPEN BEFORE
SUCKS TO BE THAT GUY
 
Now excuse me while I go walk in the snow.
 
@Arperum I'M ALWAYS SKEPTICAL WE'LL GET SNOW AT ALL
 
@JasonBerkan Name yourself Dora T Explorer and it's almost guaranteed
 
@Sterno Wow. Lots of Dora hate in Salem, eh?
 
9:19 PM
Guess so
 
This is the third time I've seen someone's username on another website and recognized it as someone from The Bridge
 
I'm really pissing one guy off as the jester by fucking up all his votes to kill the mafia
But if he does, there's no way I can win :P
He's cursing and insulting everyone now. This is great.
It's like trolling him where that's the entire point of the game.
 
ARE YOU A KNOWN JESTER?
 
Named myself Dora. Lynched on the first day.
2
 
@JasonBerkan Is he three times the dead now?
 
9:27 PM
Named Dora T Explorer again. Died on night 1 again
 
No me gusta. :<
 
Oh man
I'm just going to watch people play this later
That'll be way better than actually playing
 
Start a twitch feed.
 
@Sterno Have a game where everyone is named Dora
 
Get Bob The Builder in on that action.
 
9:35 PM
HI CHAT
 
Hi PopFizz.
 
So satisfy

Arsonist, huh? Interesting.
 
@Yuuki What game are you all playing?
 
@fredley Town of Salem.
 
@Yuuki Can I play it on my chromebook?
 
Should be able to.

It's browser-based.
 
@fredley I am off to mess that up
 
@fredley you can play it in a browser

@GnomeSlice Drplote. I already tried to add you
 
@GnomeSlice I haven't started playing yet
 
@Sterno just accepted
@SaintWacko oh nvm
 
Hmmm, how do I play?
 
@fredley You'll need to register an account.
 
9:46 PM
@GnomeSlice Yeah done that bit
I'm at some kind of dashboard
 
Don't register an account at the game that is also called salem but is actually a different game
 
@fredley what's your username?
 
PorkchopSandwiches
 
My God did that smell good

okay I'll add you
@fredley check the bottom right 'notifications'
 
Old Salem, Sky Temple, or Desert?
What am I even doing?
 
9:47 PM
You're customizing your cosmetic shit.
 
I don't want to do that
 
So don't

Q: How can I obtain golden naxxramus cards?

GarrettJI was watching Hosty play recently and noticed that all of his cards are gold - I was not aware I could obtain golden Naxx cards. What do I have to do to get golden naxx cards? Are they simply craftable or do I also have to beat the Heroic bosses?

 
@Sterno its in the rules?
 
I click Play but I can't do anything in the next screen
 
@fredley join lobby
@fredley also you're still not in my friends list
 
@GnomeSlice Nothing happesn

@GnomeSlice kids these days
 
@MattGiltaji done
@KevinvanderVelden invited you
 
thanks
 
@MattGiltaji whoops, try again
 
Alright, I'll bow to peer pressure, I want in on this game...
 
10:00 PM
Did you guys use me as your referrer?
 
Nope!
 
:(
Why not
 
Wanted to play, didn't bother with referrals.
Also, completely missed that box.
 
@GnomeSlice i did
 
@GnomeSlice I might have, assuming your username there is Gnomeslice
 
10:02 PM
@TrentHawkins Yeah.
 
Well, playing the "wait for confirmation email" mini-game. sadly, it appears to be mandatory.
 
@TrentHawkins check spam
thats where mine was
gnome our game is full of idiots
 
Is it?

Q: What is the parenthesis in the top-right corner of the Dwarf Fortress window?

Unknown ZombieOn the main screen of the game, in the very top-right corner of the screen (to the right of idlers and above current z-level), is a parenthesis that changes periodically between open and close parenthesis symbols. What does this signify?

Q: Minecraft server connecting to site

HaydenHmI'm thinking about making a server where there is team of 8 vs team of 8. and I'm wondering if I can make a website where you register your team and it's members usernames, and it tells the server that these 8 people are on a team and play together as one, in a sense. Does anyone know if this is...

 
OMGOMGOMG WHEN CAN I BUY ONE?!?

Q: What is the difference between cyberpunk and futuristic game scenario?

The PoetI can definitely tell which game titles are each, but I can't define what cyberpunk and futuristic are. cyberpunk is the future in the city and futuristic in space? maybe?

 
So... A young relative of mine acquired a copy of Sims 2. They've only had it a couple days and I'm already getting screenshots like this one sent to me: i.imgur.com/nuQSZxB.jpg
Does Sims 2 really only screencap at 400x300?
 
@RedRiderX maybe they're playing it at 400x300
 
I guess
Doubt it though

@Sterno ugh
 
Get to be Framer
Other two mafia die first turn

10:57 PM
Get to final round and realize I had to kill the Serial Killer first
Lose
sigh
So close
 
@Lazers We've gotten a ton of these questions lately.
 
@GnomeSlice Huh. ok, seems to be an issue with hotmail then... old junky yahoo mail account got the confirmation within seconds...
 
This account should probably be burned. We've gotten absolutely nothing useful from it.
