@badp

what do you think to this answer

0

Many thanks to Agent 86 for your candy crush guide. Theres some really great tips and advice there. I really think the key to successfully completing any level of CC (from what Ive seen & heard from all the ppl playing it) is having a good initial layout to begin with Therefore knowing how to exit &

it's like an all-in-one comment/answer/question

hm

part of it needs turning into a comment or deleting

part of it needs turning into a question or deleting

I don't think the answer part of it works

and then, is everything that is left worth keeping?

I ought to try

(as you can see from the comments though I was already looking at the question)

10:19 AM

I don't read comments

also you haven't commented on that answer

just sayin'

The only reason I'm asking is it is getting flagged NAA

and if I edit it there won't be much left

and you need to get your edit stats up ^^

I edited it and there's plenty left

yes well you're not me

now I can decline this flag

I'm just saying, what she's suggesting, it doesn't work

OH so it's a wrong answer?

does that mean we can just delete it

10:22 AM

we had this discussion lastnight actually

I say discussion

...unless it's different on iOS, I don't see how I should get to peek at the board before I hit play

it was more like a "kalina don't do that" ... "I will do what I want" ... "but you shouldn't" ... "zzzz"

@kalina Not sure, it might be right on iOS

@kalina Moderators don't moderate wrong answers

I know

users might though

also, me having a safety net on everything I click is the reason I'd never nominate myself for the role

Pesky users gon' be pesky

10:24 AM

I am not pesky

You are pesky personified

I am the best user between the hours of 8am and 2pm

When I open the dictionary at the word pesky, I get "see also: kalina"

you just hate me because I am intermittently troublesome for you

I don't hate anybody

except for the people I do

10:25 AM

do too

see

if there were no repercussions you'd ban me and delete my account in a heartbeat

At times I'd like to make rash decisions, of course.

Like, when you say that not banning people for saying the word "rape" equals supporting and condoning rape

indifference is basically the same as condoning it

also not

also is

if there were fewer indifferent people in the world, it would be a much better place

It's not indifference, it's giving the room the benefit of doubt that we can discuss tough matters in a civilized and rational manner

See also the amount of times you have complained about "freezing a room of 30 for the discussion of 2"

10:28 AM

@badp @kalina

yet that still happens frequently

So you don't want that to happen anymore, except when you want it

I'd rather hellfire rained down upon the peasants

@spyder we don't need to

So you'd like me to delete users rashly, except when it's you

this isn't an argument, or a heated discussion

no, I said given the chance you would delete me

also in context of the current discussion the words would be temporarily suspend

and let's face it, I've been on the receiving end of that enough times that the concept doesn't even phase me anymore

10:31 AM

I've also gotten my share of flags before I got a diamond, dear

although I did get banned over the weekend for something that I really shouldn't have

can't believe I got a 30 minute ban for stating "I like penis"

I read your dialogue and laughed. Colleagues already look askance at me :)

@kalina I got 30 minutes for quoting "I'm on a boat"

if I can get banned for that, but somebody else can be sexist with images and demeaning text that results in the room being frozen rather than him being banned, there is something wrong

and it's not me

@badp -.-

and don't say "flag it"

he knew what he was doing

he was posting it and immediately deleting it

in front of several moderators who decided room timeout was the right tool to use

was I around? I think I might've been

not sure though

10:34 AM

no your teeth were on fire

if you had been around I have no doubt that he would have been smacked in the face

oh, so this is like the second time somebody decided to be that much of a smartass

I actually said at the time "I wish badp was here"

that's how bad it was

@kalina Thing is, when people regularly complain about moderators taking action, you get a reputation that sticks with your room and soon - moderators stop taking action

moderators should moderate

Manis is roughly the last guy that's left bothering to do something about it

10:35 AM

I've only complained about actions taken outside of that

Moderators are volunteers and they get not to moderate something if they so desire

yes, moderators are volunteers

they volunteer to moderate

Do you know of Ivo Flipse?

if they don't want to moderate, stop volunteering

it comes with the territory, you can't use the volunteer excuse

Tsk tsk tsk, we're constantly encouraged to not moderate what we don't feel like moderating.

10:38 AM

well, if stackexchange encourage you not to moderate then damn, there goes my reason for not nominating myself

Ivo's a mod for fitness.SE; he used to hang around here. One day he decided to pin a message. People gave him hell because he wasn't a mod for Gaming, although any random owner could've done the same. He stopped hanging around. The mood hasn't really changed since

Q: Retinues in patch 1.101

I'm playing as Ireland in patch 1.91 (I'm not sure now since I've upgraded yesterday). I'm the King of Ireland, Wales and Scotland now, so I'm pretty large now. My retinue points limit was 9k which allowed me to have a 5k of retinues (heavy infantry mixed with cavalry and skirmish forces). After ...

crusader-kings-2

I don't care if you're a mod or not, or a room owner or not, if something needs moderating, that's the role you nominated yourself for

@kalina Well you do have some fuzzy minimum amount of flags to deal to keep your diamond

@badp I am pretty much top of nearly every user statistic apart from reputation and close/reopen votes

10:39 AM

@kalina That's kind of how I feel - if I can fix it I oughta - but that's just me being me.

@kalina You do know I was the top editor when I nominated

:P

I am top editor by miles now

Grats!

I know

I still don't have enough confidence in my own choices to have access to a bunch of buttons that nuke things though

I would much rather have to have multiple others agree with me for something to happen

I'm not trying to talk you into nominating

Even if you were, I wouldn't

It would be a bad idea

10:42 AM

Yeah, you'd post your picture and whatnot

I'm never going to do that

I have done that once, and I will never do it again

You're missing an "again" there :P

and it was many years before I arrived here

but back to the original point, moderators being volunteers is irrelevant, they volunteered to be in the role, so they should perform the role

stating anything along the lines of "I'm a volunteer, I don't have to put up with this" basically equates to "I should stop volunteering because I am not fit for the role"

No, that's not how it works. @GraceNote can probably tell you more.

that's how volunteering works everywhere else in the world

what if all of your volunteers decide they don't want to deal with a particular issue?

does that issue just not get dealt with?

10:46 AM

Has it happened?

multiple times

two citable examples; the time that retrosaur and scootaloo spammed the fuck out of the bridge to the point where we all left

and the sexism thing from the other day

in both instances, rather than take direct action, the room was suspended

that's not lack of moderation to me

or having an issue that wasn't dealt with

really?

You may not agree on how it was dealt but somebody did deal with it

in the first instance for sure we chose to leave because nobody would take action

10:47 AM

Also... chat really is lowest priority

Finally, "no action" is also a possible valid course of action

which is strange, because chat is the real time portion of the site

Chat is also the lowest priority portion of the site

2

room owners need more functionality like chan ops

that would solve everything

EVERYTHING

change bans from chat wide to channel wide

EVERYTHING

ALL THE THINGS WILL BE SOLVED

so I've been playing this game called Universe Sandbox

and I just don't get it

there are only so many times that I can crash the Earth into the Sun, or fling the moon off into deep space, before I get bored

10:53 AM

Fling the sun into a sun

I did that too

Was it worth it?

I also resized the sun so it swallowed up most of the solar system

no not really

So it lacks challenges and you aren't astronomer enough to create your own.

Black holes?

10:54 AM

I created a black hole too

Did you make it swallow the entire universe?

I changed the flight path of 99942 Apophis so that it impacted Earth

Black Holes just aren't fun without proper relativistic effects and being able to chose your frame of reference.

Andromeda–Milky Way collision is very epic :)

It's not like there's time inside a black hole

...is there?

10:55 AM

-.-

Universe Sandbox made me so bored that I am bored of this conversation

what you should do is get a copy of Fractal

so you can learn how to play it

and then write a guide on the best way to play

so you can answer my question

and thus earn reputations

@badp It's not like there is a "there" inside a black hole. Also, in the reference frame of an object falling into the black hole, you'll never reach the Schartzschild radius, much less what's inside.

@MartinSojka I'm aware. Time dilation and stuff.

It is available for purchase in the new Humble Bundle

of which half of the games gave a good enough first impression to stay installed on my phone

@badp Manish.

Manish Earth. Not Manis Hearth.

Morning!

11:10 AM

@fredley 5:08 PM

Anyway, hi :)

user20683

@spyder It's always morning somewhere

@spyder Eh, if it's when I get up it's the morning

@WorldEngineer yep

@fredley true story, bro :)

Did anyone play Knights of Pen and Paper Plus 1?

I'll take that as a no.

@ChrisHateZ indie?

11:13 AM

@spyder Don't think so. I think it's published by Paradox.

It's an pen-and-paper RPG simulator.

But then again the game is on indiedb and the authors say it's an indie game.

Hm, steam also listed it under indie.

@GraceNote Whoops.

@fredley 12:18pm

@kalina I didn't go to bed until 7, so that's acceptable

@fredley HOW DARE YOU PREACH SLEEP PATTERNS TO ME AND THEN ADOPT MY OLD SLEEP PATTERN

@fredley 1:19 pm But morning.

11:19 AM

@kalina For one night

@fredley die in a fire

@ChrisHateZ Paradox publishes a lot of "almost indie" games, they even licence their older engines for free to such teams - the catch being that you have to publish through them, have an NDA on the whole thing, and they chose who they want to allow tinkering with it.

9 mins ago, by fredley

@spyder Eh, if it's when I get up it's the morning

@kalina No

@fredley Haha

@fredley you don't get a choice in the matter, I'm a firestarter

11:19 AM

@MartinSojka I see.

@kalina Some people don't mind being on fire

@kalina the law of conservation of sleep patterns

My pattern will be back to normal tonight

This was a temporary interruption

@fredley do not lie, we are not draftsmen :)

If you have a regular sleep pattern, especially one wherein you regularly wake up at a particular time as well, then a day or two off in which you don't get as much sleep usually has no large impact and you will, indeed, be back to your normal sleep pattern immediately.

11:31 AM

@GraceNote Patterns are useless for me. No matter how much I slept, when I woke up before 9 am - I am sleepy.

Should adapt to wake up at 9 then.

@GraceNote thanks, capt :D

Also developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/…

Those crazy Googlers

@fredley 3.5303614E-7 for Death Star? Hmm... So weak gravity

11:37 AM

@spyder Must be more than that right?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@ChrisHateZ Paradox is basically Big Indie.

@fredley well, I do not know what it is made and what size :) But I always thought that it roughly the size of the moon

@spyder True. From the film though they don't appear to be in low gravity

@spyder this

FEichinger

@spyder It's largely hollow, as opposed to a solid rock.

11:42 AM

@fredley another way: creating artificial gravity is possible with the help of centrifugal forces

I can sleep for 15 hours in a night, and still feel sleepy when I wake up

@spyder Artificial gravity is indistinguishable from the real thing

@kalina Well done

@fredley 15 hour sleeps are awesome

@kalina I had those when I was your age

when I sleep like that at the weekend I don't feel sleepy when I wake up

it must be work

@fredley listen up old man

2

11:43 AM

@fredley I would like to point out another way to create gravity

M'vy

15h...

just because you require a certain amount of predictability in your life doesn't mean I do too

@spyder Please write up, pretty sure there's a Nobel prize in there

@kalina Then your life is obviously not as good

my life is awesome

it was even more awesome before you told me that regular sleep would make me invincible

2

because back then I used to get by on no sleep at all

playing games all night with Americans

now I feel tired if I stay up past midnight

STOP STARRING ME THE THINGS I AM SAYING ARE NOT THAT INTERESTING

@kalina I'd like to point out: This isn't me

11:46 AM

whistles

@fredley I know it isn't, you're only interested when I talk about penis

4

@kalina I am more interested, yes

@fredley so it's fair to say that you like penis?

@kalina I am amused when you talk about penis. That is the extent of it.

@fredley why are you amused when I talk about penis?

11:48 AM

@kalina Intrinsic immaturity.

Sometimes it's good to give the side of me that thinks "LOL PENIS" an airing, and I choose to do that here.

penis is no laughing matter

@spyder (cc: @kalina)

Oh.

Hi.

Hi.

Strange how @Fluttershy appears out of nowhere the moment we start talking about penis

I'm an APC lover and I usually play champions like lux and annie. When I play the game with my newbie friends, I'm always attacked at first in group battle. I find every enemy will try to kill me. Because in the lane phase I will gank a lot, the enemies hate me very much. I won't survive in most ...

@StrixVaria wut?!

I didn't make it.

yes you did

you miss him

don't lie

I made this one: timeanddate.com/countdown/…

those two timers are out of sync

12:14 PM

@kalina I only had a date available when I made mine.

I didn't know what time of day it would end.

Meh

Is it hometime yet

I have reverse hometime in a few minutes.

The worst time.

@kalina hometi.me

11.5 hours for me... =(

I am at home already

3 hours, 59 minutes, 40 seconds :(

@StrixVaria work time?

@kalina Yep.

And I actually have to get going now.
