Q: Starcraft2 - Terran: do they have any observer or how to attack zergs with bannellings?

BuddaSubj. Usually, I use command center, but it is limited of energy and not really useful. In original Starcraft the Science Vessel exists... Is there something similar in SC2? If no - how to attack zergs? I am worrying about their bannelings borrowed in "main passes". Thanks.

Q: Does your Brotherhood reputation affect your position with Veronica?

John RudyPretty much what the title asks. I'm going through the Render Unto Caesar questline, and thus have been ordered to destroy the Brotherhood of Steel. if I do so (having completed their questline and gotten the key to their safehouse), does that affect my standing with Veronica, and if so, how?

@alexanderpas Someone who searches for a site were he can get help identifying a game, perhaps?
I don't know, it was just my best guess where all these SE newbies with their identify-this-game questions came from

Q: Would it be abuse to make a channel on StackExchange for my clan?

badpI'm toying with the idea to try and move our clan's dying IRC channel to StackExchange chat due to its sheer awesomeness, but before I ask them if they'd entertain the idea, I'd ask first if this would be an abuse of the powers I obtained via reputation (room creation privilege, mainly; I'm not p...

 
I have a feeling that philosophe might not actually mean what I think it means. I should fetch a dictionary.
 
I got the point anyway :)
I also added a fourth reason of discomfort
 
Before I go any further in the answer, then, may I inquire what game the clan is for?
 
12:58 PM
@GraceNote Guess =)
Yes, Allegiance.
 
1:21 PM
Oh. Allegiance
Didn't you consider trying to get a whole bunch of them to come here and ask/answer a bunch of Allegience questions?
 
Meh... Haven't played WoW for so long, all my spells are shattered over different pages because I used UIs back then... No clue what to do in the game. >_<
Have a lot of quests but dunno what zone I was playing back then... xD
Doing a dungeon would be bad for the team.
 
did you get Cataclysm @TomWij
that's going to kill your activity everywhere :P
 
Not yet.
I'm still at the BC expansion.
 
plus they cleaned up spellsbooks to take away the levels from clogging up
jeezz...
 
Dunno why my character is displayed black there... xD
 
1:26 PM
I don't dare to activate mine
I can't see it
 
"This service is unavailable to any character under level 100."
 
now I can, after I logged in
 
strange some of my chars seem gone
ah no found it
 
Your name is Mindhealer?
 
1:28 PM
but can't view them as they are inactive
my name is Espilfovi :P
 
@GraceNote: Yes
 
I'm not exactly one to talk about names, anyway. I just woke up from a dream where I entertained the company of a priestess named "Cosmo Pagan".
 
I just picked words out of the text: "Mind" and "Healing", combined them and it looked good enough to go for that name.
 
lol
 
Tis a functional name.

Q: NHL 10: Can a player be moved between leagues? (Xbox 360)

ScottieI picked up a cheap used copy of NHL 10 for Xbox 360 (missing the instruction manual), and am wondering if it's possible to move a player from one league to another. Specifically, there are a couple of players on SEL team rosters that I'd like to include on an NHL team in Season mode. I'm a hug...

 
@GraceNote Yes, I did, and my forum signature on the main site points to here
...and I got maybe one conversion :P
 
Nebula (Mage), Violence (Warrior), Wildgreen (Hunter), Silentblend (Rogie), Cosmo (Mage), Strongbattle (Warrior, don't like this name anymore), Chaoticsoul (Warlock), Celticnature (Druid), Bluemind (Druid), Paladin (Ekia)
 
151, that's good
 
Mindhealer is 67, Cosmo 23, Celticnature 21 and the rest 10-20.
 
1:34 PM
I had a guild on Eonar: FishRus, which I would use to buy up all the +healing fish and sell them at a surplus @TomWij :P
 
But well, seems I first have to go spell sorting and then find myself a simple quest where I wouldn't easily die on.
:D
 
what class are you?
did you get a respec (or a spec at all)?
 
Mindhealer --> Human Priest
Unspecced at the moment.
 
I'd buy WotLK first
 
It said I could respec, but that's yet another thing to think about.
 
1:35 PM
then get upgraded talents/spells
without talents, you're basically worthless
spec Shadow, so you can just run and dot everything
you shouldn't need a team when your in the Outlands
hmmm apparently holy is better :S not sure if that's still true though
 
dunno
I actually leveled my priest in Holy back these days, to notice when I was around level 60 I could level faster with a Shadow Priest.
 
and use your quest money to buy better gear from the armory
 
Got around 360 gold...
 
well I mostly played as a warlock, so I have a totally different background :P
that should be sufficient
though off course if you complete all quests, you get blues which are good enough
the difference between blues and purples are often in the gem slots and only useful in raids
 
1:41 PM
don't bother
though I suspect some of these are fairly affordable in the AH now
 
I remember doing that at the end, looking for them cheap in the Auction House. But it seems that the Ace is more rare and has to be obtained from a Dungeon.
 
the easiest way for you to level is grouping up with a DK leveling
heal him, perhaps even go Disc
 
Gotta reorganize my spells first, but well...
Gonna do SC2 now.
 
well you have 10 spells for your bar
you don't need a custom UI to level easily
 
Yeah, won't do the custom UI till I know the game itself again.
 
Uninteresting tidbit of time-specific information: the number of SO users who got a Convention badge is: 404.
 
lol
 
Manip's post on the shadowpriest link looks nice, bookmarked those last two links.
@IvoFlipse: You up for SC2?

The problem with that is that there's no API access for the global inbox.

I meant an update notification for when the script itself is updated.

@alexanderpas There's one down-vote on that question. I wonder who that came from?
 
That's...just weird.
I don't think I've ever seen such disgraceful conduct from any moderator on any SE site.
barring that one.
Hullo @EDi!
 
@Edi Chemist?
I like the "If you put that in the sink all the fish will die" symbol
 
I don't know, Maths teached me you aren't always right in siding with the suspended.

@badp Those aren't the official symbols ;-)
 
8:51 PM
@Fabian I'm sure he didn't make them up
They may be US/EU only however.
I think I've seen a few of those around.
 
It's the offical "danger to the environment" symbol, although those symbols are being replaced now
I always just called it the dead fish symbol

@Fabian math and now physics... maybe something about advanced topics draws certain kind of users?
At least gaming is pretty laid-back :)
 
And I would've thought gamers were a pretty difficult bunch
But scientists of all kinds are seriously crazy
 
@Mana heck, even I would do better... altrough I have a history in community management. -- 4 years ago, I was an administrator of a gaming website, that I haven't set up, and the only relation I had with the admin was a friend who was a mod for over 2 years on that site when I joined... heck, I became a mod after handling a "situation", and the founding admin preferred me over our (mod) friend for the second admin position.

Q: How to choose good tags for a site

GillesI wonder how to choose good tags on a new site. On the one hand, this is very much a community thing: askers should tag their questions with the tags they'd expect to see if they were searching for the question. On the other hand, tags classify, which is hard to do if you don't have a good idea...

You certainly took a bashing here @alex
 
@badp @alexanderpas Wow.
 
@badp I can take one. also to be honest, I even get some energy out of it. :D -- Discussions are a favorite of me, and being able to play devils advocate is also a good quality of me. :D
 
@alexanderpas Your "return" vs "enter" argument was kinda petty indeed, but it's okay, we still wuv you.
