guys, the ITG tag died, and let's keep it dead.

I added it so people could easily identify an off-topic question.

@OrigamiRobot yeah, we don't tag things that are off-topic. We don't have a "piracy" tag, for instance :)

agent86

@OrigamiRobot yeah, but it recreates the tag, which means people can put it on new questions. I'd like to avoid tags for things that are off-topic, just to "close" that window

I think tags that have no questions are cleaned nightly

Ben Brocka

And it also shows up as a suggestion

monthly

no wait, maybe that's single-Q tags

agent86

@BenBrocka there's still a game-rec tag with a few questions on it

OrigamiRobot

@agent86 It would be easier to search by the tag to delete the questions than having to search for random questions to delete.

agent86

@OrigamiRobot nah, it's easy. if we lose track of it, but it's closed and at 0 or lower, it gets erased by the system

Ben Brocka

oh, closed 0 score posts get purged?

agent86

if I want to find things to delete, I can just search for closed questions at 0 or lower and I'll have a great list of things that need deleting

@OrigamiRobot there's always going to be junk on the site, and cleaning it is good. creating tags for things that are off topic is not productive.

if you see something bad, post it here, or if you see a lot of bad, post on meta

@bwarner I just backed you up with a close vote, but after reading it closer, I think he means full armor sets, not pieces. Which is much more answerable

crap, his last bullet point says the opposite

Ullallulloo

@bwarner I mean it sounds like you're saying that's why it should be closed, not downvoted.

bwarner

@Ullallulloo Close votes are fine too, I wasn't sure which was more appropriate.

Its clear what is being asked, it is an on-topic question, and somebody might be willing to give it a real answer. But it isn't the type of question I'd like to encourage.

Sterno

Listing where every armor piece in the game is would definitely be "overly broad"

Ultimately I think the answer probably saved the question from closure

murgatroid99

@Sterno Yeah, the fact that there is a relatively concise accepted answer makes "too broad" look a little inaccurate

Ronan Forman

Sterno

17:14

@murgatroid99 Except the accepted answer doesn't really do what the question asks... list where each piece of armor can be found. It lists the workaround answer of "If you miss them, you can buy them later"

@murgatroid99 It still makes it a bad question, because the accepted answer doesn't actually give the information that it asked for.

@bwarner That is a pretty common thread to this askers questions IMO.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Agreed, which is why I'm trying to take action.

agent86

10k's only, NSFW language, but wow

Sterno

17:16

@murgatroid99 I'm not sure we're disagreeing. Like I said, the answer saved the question by listing the "Oh, if you missed them, you can still buy them" option. But it doesn't do what the question is also kind of asking for... listing where you can find each piece (since before they're on sale, they're on all the various mission maps)

murgatroid99

The asker wants to know how to get every piece of armor in the game, and the answer gives a method for doing so

LessPop_MoreFizz

@murgatroid99 Bad questions that get good answers are still bad questions. It's why the Reversal Badge exists.

Q: Can my squad mates see through smoke?

Centurions like to chuck smoke grenades in my squad's face like punks. While it definitely puts a damper on my visibility, it does not seem to have an effect on the Centurions themselves. The only other subjects left to subject to smoke are my squad mates. Can my squad mates see through smoke? D...

@IanPugsley xbox 360 vers, btw... disc swapping is a pain :(

I never understood why we don't measure things in seconds instead of hours, years, etc.

There are 4.88 Megaseconds until Diablo 3 releases.

That's just simple.

Ian Pugsley

@agent86 truth

Sterno

@StrixVaria Because usually you'd have to correct the number mid-sentence

@Sterno We don't have this problem with things that are already measured in seconds.

And for things on a bigger scale, like I just used, you don't even see the ones digit anyway.

It's not like 10 kiloseconds are going to pass during one sentence.

agent86

okay, anybody interested in Nuclear Dawn?

Ian Pugsley

@StrixVaria the problem is the 24-hour business

StrixVaria

@IanPugsley Each day is exactly 86.4 kiloseconds.

Solved.

Sterno

@StrixVaria You've convinced me. And you did it in 147 seconds or less.

Ian Pugsley

you could separate the day into 864 hectoseconds, sure

StrixVaria

18:34

@IanPugsley I like it.

Ian Pugsley

which is arguably 24 "hours," where an "hour" is 36 hectoseconds

StrixVaria

Now we're thinking!

A hectosecond could be the replacement for the arbitrary "minute".

Sure, it's longer, but it's an amount of time people could get used to as a "unit".

Ian Pugsley

lol - "gimme a hec"

gdi, another day, another downvote on a ff13-2 answer from the same person on an answer to my own question that I know is correct.

Ian Pugsley

@MarkTrapp which?

user2334

18:44

@IanPugsley this one: what could possibly be incorrect or useless about that answer?

James

@agent86 I own it and have a few gift passes still I think

Ullallulloo

@agent86 I got it in that one bundle.

James

@MarkTrapp You can see who downvoted you?

agent86

@Ullallulloo Just asking because a friend of mine works at the company that made the game, and there's a chance he's going to be looking to give away some free copies. I'm talking to our CHAOS team to see if they're interested in doing something.

Ian Pugsley

@MarkTrapp looks pretty conclusive, upvoted

user2334

18:47

@James no, but this particular person doesn't make it difficult to corroborate it was them. They seem to down vote any time I self-answer

James

Ahh

user2334

heh, thanks everyone for the up votes >.>

James

@MarkTrapp We shall cap your rep out of spite! :D

@Blem Where did you find the cap stat for items? I always thought they were just theoretical.

Blem

It just wont let you upgrade higher than 360

James

Is that for all stats?

Blem

18:59

it is for the 10 stats you can also put points in your self

James

(like I know elemental damage would scale out insanely higher than base damage)

Blem

you can calculate weapon damage with this spread sheet (make a copy then you can edit) docs.google.com/spreadsheet/…
