Well thanks for warning anyway, the permanent lock was unnecessary and wrong

Michel Ayres

But... Can you reward a community post?

badp

@MichelAyres Yes, it should work

user2334

Yeah, bounties on CW is a common thing

user2334

8:02 PM

It's saying I can do it at any rate too

Michel Ayres

@MarkTrapp Why? I mean...

user2334

CW posts need love too! But they gotta pay.

user2334

But the CW in this case is less due to the post and more to the circumstances

Michel Ayres

There is a way (right?) to create a CW question. How is it?

user2334

@MichelAyres Normal users can't explicitly create CW questions, only CW answers. Mods can do both. Questions get automatically converted to CW when they get 30 or more answers

user2334

8:07 PM

Answers get automatically converted to CW if they get too many edits

Ullallulloo

@MarkTrapp Or ten people editing it.

Michel Ayres

Ahhh only mods/Trust users can create CW question (from the scrath) =P

user2334

@Ullallulloo I don't think questions are affected by the editing auto-CW, are they? That's a heck of a thing, since question CW cascades

badp

Not even trusted users can create CW questions

The thing is CW questions... eh, they're hardly ever useful

actually their use has been counterproductive so far

Blog - Stack Exchange: The Future of Community Wiki

Grace Note on August 19, 2011

When you mark a post community wiki on a Stack Exchange site, that means …

this post can be edited by anyone with 100 reputation

this post does not generate any reputation for anyone when upvoted or downvoted

The main advantage of community wiki — more editing — was nerfed when we introduced suggested edits. With suggested edits, anyone, even an anonymous user, can edit anything — so long as another experienced user reviews and approves their edit.

This leaves many wondering — what’s the point of Community Wiki? …

↑ for more info

now - community wiki answers are a completely different matter.

You check the mark, people with 150 rep can edit without going through the queue...

I'm not even sure CW makes sense for answers either anymore

but that's the way it is

user2334

@Ullallulloo The Shog9meister says you're right. But it doesn't cascade to existing answers, only new answers. The More You Know™

Jason Berkan

@MarkTrapp - re: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/6591/…. Did you actually have the same question with regards to XIII-2? Every few months I consider deleting that question because it isn't very good and has not received any good answers, but if someone else is looking for the same information...

user2334

@JasonBerkan Well, I know what it is and how it's used: it's a big thing in FF13-2, moreso than FF13, and it's explicitly mentioned in the strategy guides and walkthroughs and such. I referenced the tactic a couple of times in other answers: here and here

user2334

8:16 PM

I thought Keanu's answered covered your question: what are you looking for? I can write something up

user2334

I think it's a good question for those new to the FF13 series because it's hell of useful if you're not keen to cheesing fights by over-leveling

Jason Berkan

My problem with Keanu's answer is that while it may be true, it's just looking at the other side of the coin. I was wondering why such a powerful tactic was never mentioned in the game (which has a fairly robust combat tutorial).

(And that's why my question ain't that good - it's "why did the devs do this.")

user2334

Ah: I'll see if they mentioned it in FF13-2's primers later today. I know it's intended, but I'm not sure if it's supposed to be an easter egg, or if it's being retro-conned in a way to be intended (bug in the battle system that they're okay with and balanced around in FF13-2)

user2334

My gut is that if the official guide mentions it all the time, it's an official mechanic. They generally have to get signed off by the developers to publish that

Q: How can I jump farther in Ski Safari?

I've noticed that sometimes after I hit a jump I'll catch a bit of air and float a bit rather than dropping like a rock towards the hill below me. Is there something I'm doing that is helping me make a longer jump or is it random? Can I do something similar with penguin skis, yetis and snowmobiles?

"Community wiki is for that rare gem of a post that needs true community collaboration. That’s when community wiki shines. If your site is teeming with community wiki posts — particularly in questions — you should consider the above points carefully."

What could be a good CW post in Gaming? (well, is a good subject for a chat xD)

user2334

There was a question about how to determine if your computer can handle a game

Michel Ayres

Hmm @MarkTrapp that should work like the one about the time to finish a game.

bwarner

I think we're going to have to decide how we're going to start enforcing this: meta.gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/4111/…

Michel Ayres

WOW!!!!!!! First time i ever saw @bwarner in the chat o.o

bwarner

8:35 PM

It's no longer possible for people to play the beta to find the answer to a question. So it's now a question of whether the answer is publicly available/known ahead of time or not.

Michel Ayres

is kind weird, I always spec him to appears in Diablo Q&A =X

bwarner

Should we be making close decisions based on whether someone knows the answer already? Should we be closing questions where the answer is already known?

@MichelAyres Really? I'm pretty sure we've been in chat at the same time on several ocassions, though it is always hard to tell whether people are actually "here".

I'm usually here during my lunch break. =)

Michel Ayres

@bwarner true.

bwarner

It's theoretically possible to learn the answer to this question with the beta. But I haven't found the answer anywhere, and I'm doubting that anyone knows for sure at this point. gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/65119/…

Michel Ayres

I don't know, there are lots of [tag:diablo-3] questions that meet the a good answer, and we can always update for any change or even close/delete if the question is not relevant in the game anymore (because they remove it from).

Most of the answers/questions have good arguments.

fbueckert

8:41 PM

@bwarner And the beta is over by this point. There is literally no way to test it (and thereby provide a decent answer) at this moment.

Michel Ayres

@bwarner Now you got a good one... this question should be closed. there is no info about it at all.

bwarner

@fbueckert But what if someone tested it during the beta already?

agent86

@BenBrocka, would a question about the usability of buttons with letters vs the glyphs they did on the PS controller be on topic on UX?

bwarner

I don't think they did, but its just weird to make decisions based on that. So I'm just going to go with whatever Grace's infinite wisdom decides.

Mana

@LessPopMoreFizz I'm enjoying Silversun's new album a bunch. I think you will find it a most tasty crunch.

bwarner

8:45 PM

We just need to announce the inevitable Diablo 3 contest, that way people will have incentive to hold their questions until the actual release!

Michel Ayres

@bwarner even if someone tested. it can change very easily, also is gonna be a poor source.

My opinion: Should be close and wait for the release, then re-opened and put in the first page again

agent86

@MichelAyres no, we had that as a strategy, and it was shot down.

Ben Brocka

@agent86 I think we had almost the same question before actually

bwarner

@MichelAyres Yah, that just allows people to "camp" questions, which we don't want to encourage.

fbueckert

@bwarner I think if a question cannot be tested, and thereby answered, at the time of asking, it should be closed.

Q: How should we handle non-beta pre-release questions?

This is separate from questions about gameplay during betas, which are a beast of a different caliber with a different set of issues. We all know the feeling of being excited about an upcoming game release. I mean, we're all gamers, after all! But our FAQ prohibits questions about speculation ...

discussion allowed-questions closing

Michel Ayres

@bwarner True. I'm holding a question about pokemon v2 have a couple of month... but I didn't post it.

bwarner

What about this one where the answer was well known at the time? gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/64977/…

agent86

it's my personal opinion that it's OK to ask diablo 3 questions that could be answered from beta knowledge - I draw the line when people say "at release will X be Y" because that's speculation.

bwarner

8:47 PM

And if that one is OK, how do we define "well known"?

fbueckert

@bwarner Yes. At this point, it would be speculation, without the ability to confirm.

agent86

it's fine to base questions or answers on the beta, even if it's over.

fbueckert

@bwarner Hrm. That is a bit of a quandry. That one has an official source.

Michel Ayres

both gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/64988/… and gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/65119/… are great questions, but neither can be answered at the moment

agent86

if you want to speculate on the game mechanics post-release, that's off topic.

bwarner

8:51 PM

So if something could theoretically have been answered by the beta, it stays? I'm OK with that, in which case that question is fine. I just don't think we'll see an answer until after the 15th.

agent86

It's going to suck. Don't get me wrong :)

we're going to have more than one of these discussions

Michel Ayres

@agent86 Following this logic, Every answer in those questions are gonna be speculated

@agent86 -note: I'm talking about the 2 questions linked above

agent86

there's data available, people have played the beta. we can say authoritatively "in the beta, the mechanic worked like X"

and if people start to speculate, we downvote the crap out of them

user2334

We're only talking about what, a week before the game releases?

fbueckert

@agent86 It could be argued that since it was a beta, game mechanics are not set in stone, hence the answer would not be authoritative.

Ian Pugsley

8:55 PM

@MarkTrapp ten days (@StrixVaria could tell you in seconds)

user2334

I make a motion to table and ignore the issue until May 15th

agent86

@fbueckert "it could change in the future" is not a valid reason to forbid questions

the counter-argument to this is we'd never be able to ask any minecraft questions :)

bwarner

Yah, I'm not worried about the mechanic changing. I'm just worried about the broken windows we'll have to live with for the next 10 days, and the "camping" of questions for rep gain.

Michel Ayres

@MarkTrapp good point ...

But is good decide this now (with D3) and prevent future trouble (like with Titan from blizzard)

user2334

@bwarner Is there a real chance the answers to the questions would be wrong? I thought the open beta was just a stress test

agent86

8:56 PM

@bwarner it's a mess! welcome to using a system in a way it wasn't designed for! see also: tagging

bwarner

@MarkTrapp Highly unlikely. The game mechanics aren't likely to change dramatically in that short period.

Michel Ayres

@MarkTrapp The beta released by blizz was a stress test ONLY

fbueckert

I'm just playing devil's advocate here; I'm fine with whatever we decide.

Michel Ayres

@fbueckert lol

bwarner

But as agent86 said, its kind of a moot point, since we don't shy away from answers that could change, and I don't think its fair to call answers based on the beta "speculation".

fbueckert

8:59 PM

Fair enough.

I do agree with the camping bit though.

Michel Ayres

There is no good way of doing this. and at this point, even with close or not closed questions. They can "save" the question.

agent86

yeah, it's a thorny nasty thing. Everybody petition game companies not to release betas, so that we don't have this issue in the future.

Sterno

Just got back from The Avengers. It gets a thumbs up. I liked it better than any of the individual movies.

Slice of life

Slice of life is a phrase describing the use of mundane realism depicting everyday experiences in art and entertainment. Theater The theatrical term refers to a naturalistic representation of real life, sometimes used as an adjective, as in "a play with 'slice of life' dialogue." The term originated in 1890–95 as a translation from the French phrase tranche de vie, credited to the French playwright Jean Jullien (1854–1919). Jullien introduced the term not long after a staging of his play, The Serenade, as noted by Wayne S. Turney in his essay, "Notes on Naturalism in the Theatre": :The S...

I think @Mana is stalking you @Ullallulloo.

Ullallulloo

@Mana Oh, it seems Kong put me there.

Come to think of it, most people there probably get thrown into a chatroom and pay absolutely no attention to it.

Ullallulloo

I didn't pick it by choice. :p

Raven Dreamer

Mana stalks everybody.

It's part of the job.

Mana

@Ullallulloo Oh, good. The people there are...interesting, in the wrong way. They were fun as hell to troll two years ago though anyways.

Wipqozn

@RavenDreamer It is probably to help him with all those fan fics he's working on.

Raven Dreamer

I like @tombull89's gravatar.

Mana

@RavenDreamer He's giving the thumbs down to you.

tombull89

@RavenDreamer Heh, thanks. Was originally meant to show my dissaproval with the SE/Facebook "partnership" that meant a load of cruddy questions got dumped on MSO and SO but even though that's been sorted I've not changed the gravatar back yet.

Mana

@tombull89 What happened to that anyways?

Nick T

hrm, 6850 vs 7770....

f this

I hate shopping

tombull89

@Mana Seems to have mellowed - FB have got a bit more "involved" with things on SO and the question about policies that prompted my gravatar change has been [status-completed]

I'm not a huge SO user but a decent MSO one, still think it's a bad idea.

tomshardware.com/reviews/… scroll down half-way, wtf do all these numbers mean, which is better, 7770 (1st column) or 6850 (3rd)
