@badp it could also equal 225, depends on the upvotes

@StrixVaria Oh, wait. Bounties are outside the rep cap, yes. But badge-wise, it still counts towards it.

Anyone have a link to the query to let me see my upvoted comments?

@SaintWacko I don't think I can upvote you more without something going wrong

somebody else will have to supply you with that last vote you need

Doesn't this question fall under the rules for game-id questions?

Q: Name the game, used to practice CPM?

When I watch LOL streams I notice people are using game to practice mouse clicking, there is music in the background simple yet changing game. I am trying to find it but no luck. It is similar to andorid game Budha Finger But this one is for pc?

ie: provides a screenshot

fbueckert

@kalina Provides a screenshot of a similar game.

He knows the name of THAT game.

He wants one like that, but for PC.

badp

@badp Elitism behavior, uuuuuu we do not identify games ... :) I mean we are same sort, bunch of geeks and than suddenly I will write guide 10 pages long, but I will not identify that game :) In any case my argument is invalid since I read FAQ so fair enough. I will leave question to witness my eternal shame :) — Dolphin 1 min ago

Can't ban him now, he's providing all of us with entertainment tonight

@tombull89 Holy crap, that was fast.

hah! 30 minutes per valid flag.

SaintWacko

@tombull89 Ouch

Q: How are you supposed to win the first battle for the final chapter?

The chapter starts and you're immediately met with a boss fight between a rather weak foe and my strongest character (the Necromancer). Sounds like a piece of cake — his units are undeleveled and I can deal 75% more damage with my units thanks to the Spider Cloak. Things take a turn for the wron...

@MarcoLeblanc If you really want to discuss this constructively, take it to Meta. There's lots of history behind why we don't allow these questions, and right now, you're giving off an incredibly unreasonable vibe.

Once again on Arquade, we find a lesser-spotter ragequit. They seem to be appearing on Arquade at a higher rate than other sites combined due to the unique circumstances on the sites that some users cannot handle.

Q: Do we have a problem with people starring too many things?

It's 15:39 and I've already used up my vote allowance for the day. This is a regular occurrence. Why is the star limit set at what it is? Could this limit be raised to a slightly larger, yet still reasonable value?

Sconibulus

That could be fun... get a script that modifies your name every 10 minutes

SaintWacko

2:42 PM

@tombull89 Oh no, @badp. What have you done?

fbueckert

I wonder if he's accidentally applied it site wide. He'd be stuck like that for 30 days.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@Sconibulus The 15 minutes isn't reset upon every change AFAIK

fbueckert

He did! He's now @ArqaderuinsSE network wide!

tombull89

What is the star limit? 20? Per room? Total?

fbueckert

...He's ragequitting network wide.

SaintWacko

2:43 PM

@fbueckert Oh, wow

tombull89

@fbueckert on a MASSSIVE NUMBER OF THREE SITES. woo.

SaintWacko

@fbueckert Well done, @badp

fbueckert

Still, that's almost a first.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@tombull89 I think it's 30 per room per day

SaintWacko

@YiJiang'sEvilClone That sounds right

Sconibulus

2:45 PM

Oh, I thought it was 20

I've never actually hit it though, I think I don't spend quite enough time here

fbueckert

Well, once that goes through, I guess I see how much rep I lose/gain from him.

SaintWacko

Bah, sitting at 190 rep for today

so close to Mortarboard

tombull89

How long does it take for an account to be deleted? It would be funny if someone changed their name and account bio as a protest and then the account got deleted before they could change it back.

Mad Scientist

@tombull89 It's a manual process, so no way to say how long it'll take

fredley

I am slow

kalina

2:49 PM

I am sorry @fredley but I do not approve of infinite stars or even increasing the limit

fbueckert

@MadScientist Is it a daily check through the database, to see who's changed their profile name to, "Please delete me"?

kalina

@fbueckert no, you have to submit a request

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@fbueckert No, definitely not

fbueckert

Or do you still have to post on Meta to get it done?

Mad Scientist

@fbueckert Just changing your name does nothing, you have to request deletion

SaintWacko

2:50 PM

@kalina But that would be more of your messages we could take out of context!

fbueckert

Okay.

kalina

there is a process but it's been more than a week since I last thought about quitting so I've forgotten it

Their selection of videogame music is actually surprisingly varied

Powerlord

I forget what it's called, but the soundtracks are stored as wavs in older games.

Just be aware that Brood War has a different first track for each race than StarCraft does.

Trent Hawkins

Aha, and here I thought I slept through the drama.... It lives!

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot He has a point, though.

I know he's just stirring up shit elsewhere, but we should refrain from interaction outside of our areas.

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot Sounds like someones butthurt that we wouldn't let him be a misogynistic prick in our chat room.

Or was there something else after the whole "Pick up and Game" ordeal?

fbueckert

@Fluttershy Yeah, you missed today's context.

Took him less than three minutes from entering chat to getting hit with a ban.

OrigamiRobot

3:26 PM

@fbueckert Doesn't bother me, I should probably participate on that site anyway.

Fluttershy

Link?

Michael Mrozek

@fbueckert And then everyone is still talking about it a solid hour later. That's the most efficient trolling I've ever seen

fbueckert

@Fluttershy Starts roughly here

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@Fluttershy All the messages were deleted already

OrigamiRobot

@MichaelMrozek You clearly haven't seen our other trolls.

fbueckert

3:27 PM

@MichaelMrozek We've had trolls last for entire days here!

This, this is only unique in the speed of ban.

Fluttershy

@YiJiang'sEvilClone They don't show up in the transcript as removed, do they?

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@Fluttershy They don't, no.

kalina

@Fluttershy he posted three offensive comments in quick succession, I flagged all three of them, he got banned. I don't feel bad about it.

He then proceeded to start posting aggressive comments on a closed question in an attempt to bait further response, @badp locked the question

Fluttershy

Found 'em. I didn't have to scroll up too far.

But, I'm glad he's gone!

kalina

I don't care either way, if anybody else had posted the same content, I'd have flagged them too

fbueckert

3:32 PM

@kalina I flagged them, too, and it takes quite a bit for me to flag stuff.

Fluttershy

@kalina The difference is that practically none of us in here would have. His problem was he refused to adjust to his surroundings.

Grace Note

@kalina Timing of this?

kalina

@GraceNote timing between him saying and me flagging, between each of his comments? or hmm?

him saying -> me flagging, about 20 seconds after the last one

Fluttershy

6 mins ago, by fbueckert

@Fluttershy Starts roughly here

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@GraceNote bout an hour ago

Grace Note

3:33 PM

Gotcha.

kalina

between each of his comments -> a few minutes

Fluttershy

But, it's only two or three "Load Older Messages" if you just scroll up through stuff...

fbueckert

@kalina And he re-posted them as quickly as they got deleted.

kalina

@fbueckert oh yeah, no when I said comments, I meant chat posts

but yeah the comments on the question he reposted multiple times after they were removed, which resulted in the question being locked

fbueckert

@kalina Ok. That, I wouldn't know, because I ignored him last time he visited.

kalina

3:34 PM

he then renamed, and proceeded to post on a bunch of other SEs

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@fbueckert I thought that would've gotten him a ban, or at least a timeout on the main site

SaintWacko

That was the first time I've actually validated a chat flag

kalina

any claims to "our maturity" were invalidated when he started spamming comments on the game-id question

fbueckert

@YiJiang'sEvilClone So did I.

kalina

everything after that is attention seeking and should be treated as such

fbueckert

3:35 PM

I was quite surprised he didn't.

Grace Note

Hm...

@kalina That comment of his cracked me up, coming from someone who named theselves "ThisSiteIsTerrible" and then "ArqadeRuinsSE"

Q: For the 'Wayward Wizard' companion what is a Talisman?

Been playing for about a week and finally got a Wayward Wizard as a companion. Cool. I get that he can only use certain items when slots become available but there is one that is initially available as 'Talisman' and I can find nothing that goes into that location. I've checked around the game ...
