hm good point

GnomeSlice

Looks like he's out.

Wipqozn

yeah, not our problem.

He had 10 days to respond.

GnomeSlice

12 entrants it is.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice make sure you put my name as "wipqozn" and not "Wipqozn"

GnomeSlice

Have we actually confirmed that all of these usernames work?

Wipqozn

10:02 PM

The names seem to be case sensitive

GnomeSlice

They are.

@Wipqozn You posted it with a capital 'W' in your answer.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice I know, I fixed it.

GnomeSlice

I should probably add everyone to confirm that the names work.

Wipqozn

good idea

@fredley Oh man enough of LEGO I'm going to bed

The last time something LEGO related kept me up all night, it was the LEGO Universe private beta.

GnomeSlice

@fredley Wh... why would you do that.

Q: Would it be appropriate to ask a question regarding how to legally backup your own games?

I know that legally you are allowed to backup your own games(at least in the USA), and for some systems I know how to do this. I would like to learn how to do so on other platforms, and searching the web on this topic is cumbersome at best. However, I also know that this can be quite the grey a...

@GnomeSlice Just RTFA and realised it's not an actual set

sorry

Grace Note

@GnomeSlice Podcast chatroom isn't associated with a site. No site, so no tags to associate with

GnomeSlice

@GraceNote Oh. I didn't realize that's how it worked.

I don't think we have a aefshvksvr tag on our site though.

And that worked.

Grace Note

10:12 PM

Yes, but note that it links to Gaming

GnomeSlice

Oh, I see now, it just goes to the site and searches that tag.

@GraceNote would you like to participate in the FS thing?

Grace Note

I don't know what that means

Nope, never played it. Or seen it. Or been found to have any interest in it, yet

My mistake then.

GnomeSlice

@ArdaXi ??

badp

@John Does it even matter? What's important is blocking write access.

GnomeSlice

Minecraft?

John

@badp No, it doesn't really matter.

@badp Maybe it matters more than we think

badp

@John I understand why you'd close read access to the public at large

John

10:18 PM

@badp But we're 1337, right? :P

badp

I don't understand why you need to make it water tight

Grace Note

@Raven You around?

It seems the answer is no. Phooey

GnomeSlice

How the hell do I convert a pdf to an image?

Grace Note

The Prt Scr button (or equivalent) is pretty good at it

GnomeSlice

@GraceNote If it's screen-sized/shaped, yes.

Grace Note

10:25 PM

Cropping and sewing work pretty well

GnomeSlice

I thought you could export them to an image or something. No matter.

Thanks for clearing it up.

Q: How do you take gems/runes out of a weapon/armor in diablo 2?

So I tried to create a Stealth armor in a ladder game on ladder/normal, I inserted the runes in the correct order (So it says TalEth) and the body armor has only 2 slots. However, it just didn't convert to Stealth! Could you tell me why? If it helps, I am playing Druid and when I inserted the r...

GnomeSlice

Alright, player matches done, now I need to figure out what games we're playing.

Raven Dreamer

@GraceNote I am now.

GnomeSlice

@badp are you okay with skipping the light round in the tournament?

4 players have to start one round ahead of the rest.

I have three who I know want to play dark games, so I put them in.

badp

@GnomeSlice sorry?

GnomeSlice

@badp In the frozen synapse tournament.

The first game will be 'light' meaning you can see units without a line of sight, but 4 users have to start in the NEXT round.

Just the way the bracket works.

badp

10:43 PM

Yeah, seed me at the bottom

GnomeSlice

I'm trying to give all of the less experienced players a chance to play in the 'light' games.

Wipqozn

So everything is going fine with the bracket @GnomeSlice? You're not running into any problems?

GnomeSlice

@badp So... you want to start light? Hm... gotta find someone else to put in there then.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice that's a good idea

badp

Oh, so there are too many fucking noobs?

GnomeSlice

10:43 PM

Do you guys know if @bwarner or @RonanForman play often?

@badp No idea, I don't even know some of these users, so I'm not comfortable guessing.

We should have had people indicate experience level in their registration.

badp

Just ask them.

GnomeSlice

@badp Where? Comments?

Hello @RonanForman

badp

Chat?

GnomeSlice

@badp I've never seen jaminja, DMA57361, or PRoSay in chat before.

@RonanForman How comfortable are you with Frozen Synapse?

Wipqozn

WHo are the 3 you are skipping to dark?

ARda, DMA, and myself?

GnomeSlice

10:49 PM

@Wipqozn You, me, and Arda

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice because DMA only wants to play dark

BAM problem solved

GnomeSlice

Excellent.

Wipqozn

Wipqozn: Hero of Gaming.

GnomeSlice

Don't push it.

I'd like to play some light games, but guess that's not gonna work.

Anyway, I'll figure something out. When do you want this by?

@Wipqozn, actually, here's a thought.

Since we're doing double elimination, why not make the games in the losers bracket light?

Powerlord

wtf? A dancing RPG?

GnomeSlice

10:51 PM

Although... no, then if you lost your first game, they'd all be light afterward.

@Powerlord With music from Ronald Jenkees in it.

Goddamn.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice I would just stick with the system your originally had, where the first round is all light. It seems like the best way to do it.

GnomeSlice

I'm also not convinced that Hostage and Disputed would be good fits for the tournament.

badp

Wow, 3-3 is serious hard.

I'm running out of ideas.

GnomeSlice

@badp For what?

badp

Serious Sam The Random Encounter

GnomeSlice

10:52 PM

I need to try that.

Wipqozn

Thursday is when the tournament starts, so anytime thursday. I'll probably be busy until the evening. You're welcome to update the meta yourself if you want.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn What do you think about including those gamemodes, though?

FallenAngelEyes

@Powerlord it's pretty fun

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice I agree with removing hostage.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn And Disputed?

Wipqozn

10:54 PM

I'm fine with Disputed myself.

What is the issue you have with it?

GnomeSlice

Well, it's got bidding, but I suppose that's probably fine.

So does charge.

Hostage definitely, it's unbalanced.

Wipqozn

I think disputed is fine myself. There is bidding, but that's part of the strategy.

GnomeSlice

I agree, Hostage is the only one out.

Not sure what to kick off with.

Extermination, probably.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Agreed.

If the first round is intended to help newer players, than it is definitely the best one to start with.

Whoa are you guys talking about Frozen Synapse?

Q: Why can't I fix my TinkerTool to 100%?

i have Tinkering III, but every time I try to repair it, it only goes up to 99%. Because of this I cannot complete "Tinker with your Tools" quest. How do I repair it?

Wipqozn

@JosephKern chances are we will be doing another one in the future

GnomeSlice

Argh, nice timing with the bracket.

Joseph Kern

@Wipqozn are you a dev?

Wipqozn

11:00 PM

@JosephKern Of Frozen Synapse? No I am not.

oph wait!

Joseph Kern

Oh. you meant a bracket.

Wipqozn

I meant another tournament in the future, not another game :P

Joseph Kern

:-)

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice ?

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Lots of school work. I'll get it done, don't worry. =]

Joseph Kern

11:00 PM

I was going to scream "feature request" and ask for the ability to "vault" through windows.

GnomeSlice

lololololol

Wipqozn

@JosephKern that would be so awesome.

GnomeSlice

@Jospeh Well... I could add you in to the bracket now.

I'd have to restart it, of course.

Joseph Kern

.... when would I need to play by?

No, don't do that.

badp

We haven't yet begun

GnomeSlice

11:01 PM

Well, I've only JUST started it.

badp

so it shouldn't be a big deal

Joseph Kern

ah ... well

badp

if all else fails you can get my spot!

Joseph Kern

that's my user name

GnomeSlice

But adding one more player changes the bracket drastically.

Joseph Kern

You decide. :-)

I am late.

Wipqozn

@JosephKern so tempting to say "that's what she said"

Joseph Kern

@Wipqozn lol.

GnomeSlice

11:03 PM

Actually, that would enable me to join the people playing 'light' games.

badp

@JosephKern You're going to take my place if @GnomeSlice can't accomodate enough people

GnomeSlice

@badp No, it's ideal, actually.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice In other words @JosephKern is a hero?

Joseph Kern

Woooooo!

badp

Pretty much.

GnomeSlice

@Joseph, can you go post in the tournament thread on Meta?

Joseph Kern

Joseph Kern

Yeah.

GnomeSlice

I'll probably be playing against you in the first round, in this case.

Wipqozn

I added an exception to the rules for you:

> Registration is now closed (unless you're @JosephKern)

Joseph Kern

11:05 PM

Done.

Sweet! Will that be a standing rule?

:D

Wipqozn

@JosephKern Of course.

Joseph Kern

Let it be known as the Joseph Kern Exception.

Oh no... the Kern Clause.

:D

GnomeSlice

Erm... that's enough of that.

Grace Note

@RavenDreamer What about now now?

Joseph Kern

You might want to add resolutions for the uploaded games. 720p or so.

in the rules that is.

Wipqozn

11:12 PM

How do you do strikeout text?

on SE that is

@JosephKern apparently that feature is broken, so thanks for reminding me to change that.

Joseph Kern

@Wipqozn It's still broken? sigh

Grace Note

@Wipqozn on SE itself you need <s></s> in posts and you can't do that in comments
