@Sterno I'm pretty certain that me winning the election is/was the nail in the coffin. I'm sad to see him go :(

Ronan Forman

@agent86 That reminds me, are you on steam/facebook/google+?

Sterno

@agent86 I'll take an active community member over someone who shuts down and gets all passive-aggressive in his profile. But I'll also shut up about it now!

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno This is why I don't feel strongly about him leaving.

Hey, process question for you guys. I just got the reputation to be able to vote to close questions as duplicates. I used to only be able to flag them. Now that I can vote to close, should I JUST do that, or should I still flag them too?

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno I only VTC

StrixVaria

@Sterno I've never flagged a question as dupe. I only vote to close.

Tristan

@Sterno VTC and then mention it in here. If there are enough of us around with the rep, it keeps mods from having to do it.

@Sterno Wow, that's a shame. :(

badp

At the end of the day one of the things this site stands for is community governance. Community governance brought agent as moderator.

@Sterno now that you can VTC, many of the "flag reasons" are now "close reasons"

Sterno

@everyone Cool, definitely don't want to annoy mods. I've never been real clear on when to flag and when not to

Fabian

2:18 PM

@Sterno Only vote to close, the exception is if the question doesn't get the attention needed to accumulate 5 votes, that's usually not a problem on Gaming (it is e.g. when closing old questions on SO)

so don't bother flagging it if you can VTC.

badp

I imagine the name also needs changing?

Tristan

@Sterno Aww, man... If that does get closed as a dupe, do I lose the rep I've earned from it? =(

Ronan Forman

@badp I was about the check but then I realised I can't.

agent86

@Tristan only if it's deleted and you do a recalc, I believe.

Ronan Forman

2:21 PM

Also FB, G+ and YT links may be nice.

Sterno

@Tristan Pretty sure you don't

Tristan

@agent86 I'll never recalc again. <.<

agent86

sometimes dupes are merged, in which case your answer would transfer to the original question

Fabian

@Tristan Only for deleted posts, not for closed ones

agent86

I think it's unlikely that your answer would be deleted.

badp

2:22 PM

@RonanForman We're already maxed out at three links

Sterno

It was phrased differently enough I'd hate to see it deleted completely

Fabian

StrixVaria

@Tristan You can see how much rep you'll wind up with before the recalc happens.

Ronan Forman

@badp Never mind then, I think the ones we have are the most important ones.

I'm sure those machines lasted a long time with all the random power fluctuations. School tax dollars at work!

though I agree the idea of a "kidnappable name" is silly

@badp Challenge accepted. There are at least 2 entities composed of wall structures that compose this maze. Taking into account only the 2 that include the top-most wall and bottom-most wall, the correct solution must pass entirely between those 2 separate entities, and also not pass over any walls.

@DavidB Let's just stick to 2 dimensions please.

David B

badp's path is "between" the entities when the space wraps

@DavidB Space doesn't "wrap" in 2 dimensions.

You need to add the 3rd dimension for that to happen.

badp

@StrixVaria That would work poorly with the lighting system @RonanForman demoed yesterday

StrixVaria

3:40 PM

@badp It depends on your objective.

badp

Well if the objective is to make people go through the maze by removing all the TNT first then yes.

After all the walls have asploded the maze should be indeed easier to go through.

StrixVaria

I think I want to make a maze now with hidden TNT where whenever you make a wrong turn the entire maze explodes.

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria This is amateur stuff man.

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot My Minecraft creativity is lacking due to getting bored of the game before creative mode existed.

@StrixVaria This might change when you know about the project. It is very modular. Everyone can contribute.

@OrigamiRobot Does that mean "no you can't ever know about it now!" or "feel free to start contributing if you want"?

A: How can I maximize my skill points gained in Kingdoms of Amalur?

First of all, yes, your gear can have skill bonuses on it. To max out every skill, 90 skill points would be needed. Every race gets 4 points worth of skills. By level 40, you'll have earned 40 skill points from leveling. The highest tier Might-Finesse-Magic destiny gives you +3 to ever...

@StrixVaria I have successfully confused ourself.

Q: Why does the second build screen only display more in original Civilization?

When I click of change in a city in original Civilization and then more, I have the following screen : There should be the list of city improvement. Is that a known bug? Is there a work around? This is version 475.01.

Q: Will anything (gameplay wise) be missed in 3 if one does not play the DLC in 2?

I have barely played any of the DLC in Mass Effect 2. If I do not get around to playing it (and thus no save file containing data about the DLC events), will I miss anything in Mass Effect 3 (such as character encounters, items, missions, etc)?
