5:18 PM

I'm an aqade member for a good 1.5 year, near 4k rep.

badp

murgatroid99

Of course, I also gained over 4k this year on B&CG

Powerlord

@murgatroid99 My rep on B&CG is naturally stunted as I'm only interested in one game on it and it isn't Magic.

RPi Awesomeness

Woo yeah! Double non-ownership cards! Life is good.

Powerlord

Still, I was a 14k user on gaming and was there for... a year?

Arperum

5:19 PM

@RPiAwesomeness They are not exactly duplicates. There are some differences.

murgatroid99

@Powerlord I try to answer every Magic question that comes in. Mine is limited by the low question rate on that site

Powerlord

A lot of my TF2 answers have likely datarotted now, especially since Valve did two major weapon rebalancing passes last year.

RPi Awesomeness

@badp Does @OrigamiRobot get one too? Seeing as he started it...

@Arperum No, but I have the ability to be de-ownerfied twice

murgatroid99

@Powerlord At least it's not as bad as Minecraft. I wouldn't be surprised if they've redone entire systems that some of my answers are based on

RPi Awesomeness

Ooo. Nice. Destiny is only rated T. This means I can play it without worrying about getting in trouble :D

Arperum

5:21 PM

@RPiAwesomeness First you need "get ownered" cards though.

Powerlord

@murgatroid99 True, but while I was on the site, I had a tendency to go back and modify the answers to questions when game mechanics changed.

RPi Awesomeness

@Arperum Exactly. And since those are rarely given out...I'm gucci

badp

@RPiAwesomeness No.

RPi Awesomeness

Oh. He has to stay owner...burn

badp

No, he isn't

RPi Awesomeness

5:24 PM

Oh. Well, I'll just shutup

Powerlord

I used my only Get ownered card several years ago, but it went out of play when I left the site.

RPi Awesomeness

Dang...these rules are hard to keep

murgatroid99

@PrivatePansy If you want to read some good horse words, read MLP Loops

Origami Robot

@murgatroid99 from just MtG or other things too?

murgatroid99

@OrigamiRobot Almost exclusively from MTG. A tiny bit from the MLP CCG

Powerlord

5:35 PM

@OrigamiRobot Well, I managed to get 2,407 rep on B&CG pretty much just on Dominion questions.

and Dominion is a lot smaller than Magic.

murgatroid99

@Powerlord Going by tag volume, it's the third most popular game on the site

Barely edged out by bridge

Origami Robot

@murgatroid99 When i was still trying to participate, all MtG questions were answered instantly by 2-3 users

murgatroid99

@OrigamiRobot On recent questions, one of those probably would have been me.

Origami Robot

It was all AlexP back then

Powerlord

@murgatroid99 Dominion is essentially done. There are no more expansions coming, as Donald X. finished the 8 he had planned. MTG, on the other hand, covers... what, 1/3 of the front page at any given point?

Heck, I think the most recent Dominion question is from July.

Origami Robot

5:39 PM

I stopped because I don't really have any actual questions of my own and I couldn't answer any questions because they were already answered by the time I saw them

murgatroid99

@Powerlord That's true. I'm there for the MTG, so I'm not complaining

@OrigamiRobot Honestly, half of the answers just come down to explaining layering, phases, or the stack

Well, with whatever specifics are relevant to the question

Powerlord

Other than gameplay mechanics and such, one major difference between Magic and Dominion is that Dominion's errata is generally included with the game because the game designer had most of the cards designed before the base edition even came out.

I can only think of a single Dominion card that had bad wording and that would be Treasure Map.

murgatroid99

@Powerlord Magic is a lot more complicated than Dominion. The rule book is 200 pages long

Powerlord

@murgatroid99 Magic also adds new rules in every edition.

RPi Awesomeness

@AshleyNunn What do you think of this (in light of the linked message)?

Powerlord

5:45 PM

The last time I played Magic on a regular basis, Interrupts still existed.

murgatroid99

@Powerlord Well, yeah, but most of the questions are about rules that have been constant for years

RPi Awesomeness

Origami Robot

@murgatroid99 Or could be answered by looking at the card ruling or oracle text on gatherer.

murgatroid99

@Powerlord Most of the basic rules have been pretty much constant since 6th edition

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, that too. But it often helps to give the rules that back up the ruling.

@Powerlord It is possible that @badp is this organized, but the only music he owns is from the Chrono Trigger soundtrack(s).

Origami Robot

Chrono Trigger is the name of the "to be sorted" folder

Origami Robot

7:22 PM

I THOUGHT THOSE THINGS WERE THINGS THAT HAPPENED TO THE SITE

badp

MBraedley

@Batophobia Then perhaps he should rename the folder to something like "unsorted"

badp

Why would you use an unsorted folder when you can just put the tracks directly under Music/

Batophobia

Sure if you want to be boring and up-front about things

MBraedley

@badp I'm not saying this is a bad Idea (it's what I do, especially for singles that I downloaded from an artist and didn't bother getting any other songs from them), but if they are going to be in a folder, than the folder name should be descriptive.

badp

7:25 PM

naturally all of those folders are empty save for the Chrono Trigger one which has everything in it sorted by number of seconds (odd, even or prime), number of vowels in the artist's middle name and numer of times I removed @Wipqozn from ownership on the day in which I acquired the tracks.

MBraedley

All of which are natural sorting keys

I suppose 3 buds is roughly average or slightly less than average for an unusual?

Powerlord

Apparently it's a problem with a project library using GPLv3

...and the distribution including the Minecraft server itself

Meanwhile, the actual repo of this user still has a link to bukkit.org

Powerlord

Of course, as noted on The Daily WTF's topic about this, Bukkit itself being GPL is an issue

RPi Awesomeness

Good grief. EPA is getting out of hand. I had to do some research regarding legislation invading on property rights and came across this: washingtontimes.com/news/2011/aug/31/…

A man was prosecuted and placed in jail for 1 1/2 years and was fined $202,000. For what? CLEANING UP A FRIGGIN AUTO DUMP WITH HIS OWN MONEY ON HIS OWN PROPERTY

+1 for American government stupidity

Rapitor

"This land was an old auto junkyard, and Mr. Pozsgai, taking pride in his home, proceeded to clean up this landfill by removing 7,000 old tires and rusted-out automobiles. However, the EPA did not view this effort as a clean-up but rather a violation of the Clean Water Act"

I don't even.

Powerlord

@RPiAwesomeness I'd take what you read there with a grain of salt.

RPi Awesomeness

IKR!!!

@Powerlord Why?

Martin Sojka

8:14 PM

I linked the explanation by JadedCat earlier in the Minecraft room, if anyone cares.

MBraedley

So, the Minecraft server itself shouldn't be a problem as long as it doesn't make use of the GPL library. If Bukkit is GPL, then if it uses said library is not a problem. If it's LGPL, there could be a problem.

Powerlord

@RPiAwesomeness Did you check who the author was?

RPi Awesomeness

@Powerlord Yes. I know who it is and trust him. He's quite right

At least in this case. Anyone can be wrong on some topics

Powerlord

I also mistrust an article that starts out with this:

> Since EPA regulations have expanded, unemployment in America has increased by 33 percent.

RPi Awesomeness

That is somewhat of a red herring, yes.

StrixVaria

8:16 PM

@Powerlord I was thinking there sure are a lot of unsubstantiated claims in this article.

I have trouble with an article that takes a stance of "Everything the EPA has ever done is evil."

Which is the vibe I'm getting from the first few paragraphs.

Powerlord

@StrixVaria That too.

RPi Awesomeness

@StrixVaria That's a bit more than I think he's saying, but I can see why you'd think that from the first few paragraphs.

Mad Scientist

Hearthstone can be so annoyingly random, my last Arena run I had a crappy deck and got 6 wins. Now I have a pretty good Mage deck and I get matched against really fucking lucky players and I'm at 1-2 and about to go home with only one win.

@MartinSojka Not sure it's much of an explanation. I'm assuming copyright assignment here, but regardless, the owner of the copyright on something is not bound by the license by which he makes it available to everyone else

Jason Berkan

@MadScientist I don't play Arena, but I am constantly confused / annoyed by the number of players at level 18-20 that have 3+ legendaries. Why are you so low in the rankings!?!?!

badp

In other words, if I have a closed source program, and I have an open source program, and they're mine, and my license doesn't allow them to be shipped together, I still get to do that.

@Rapitor I had a pretty good run in the last Arenas since I started playing them again with some 6+ average, so I'm not really complaining. But getting matched against several players with perfect starting hands gets a bit annoying

murgatroid99

@RPiAwesomeness I am really getting the feeling that the article isn't telling the whole story

RPi Awesomeness

He was cleaning up an auto dump. How is that disturbing the wetlands any more than leaving the dump in place.

badp

And since bukkit.org is arguably operated by Mojang...

Martin Sojka

@badp The last statement is basically true, but also irrelevant. Source added to the Bukkit code is only done so when you licence it as GPL. You can't take that back, though you can of course licence the same code under any other licence, as the original developer of it.

Rapitor

@JasonBerkan most people just stop at 20 to make sure they get end of month reward then just go play casual.

Mad Scientist

8:21 PM

@Rapitor I had one big creature in my deck, an 8/8 sea giant. And of course my opponent had a Big Game Hunter in hand. That is so fucking unlikely in Arena

Jason Berkan

@Rapitor Casuals get matched up with ranked?

Mad Scientist

@JasonBerkan Right now it is the start of the season, this means everyone is at the low rank. It's extremely tough to rank up during the first days

Yuuki

@RPiAwesomeness He cleaned up an auto dump that he made.

They fined him and prosecuted for making the dump in the first place.

Rapitor

@JasonBerkan no, casual mode. playing ranked mode is pointless past rank 20, i believe.

Powerlord

@Yuuki I don't know if it's true, but the source I just linked (from another reporter) indicates that he was purchasing new land already classified as a wetlands

Jason Berkan

8:22 PM

@MadScientist No, I've found it throughout the month. In fact, I find the decks I face get easier once you get past level 15 (until about level 12, when they get harder).

Rapitor

unless you have the patience for 500 ranked wins for gold hero

Yuuki

@Powerlord Apparently, he was dumping on the land before he even purchased it.

Origami Robot

@Yuuki WHERE DOES IT SAY HE MADE IT?

Rapitor

and casual mode has better matchmaking. ranked just grabs people of similar rank, casual actually matches skill/deck competetnce

Mad Scientist

@JasonBerkan The weaker players also tend to just put all legendaries they have into a deck, no matter if they fit or not. Legendaries alone are not scary, but facing only Warlock Zoo and Hunter right now is a bit annoying

RPi Awesomeness

8:25 PM

No... From a Washington Examiner article http://washingtonexaminer.com/case-studies-in-regulation-john-pozsgai/article/144015

"In the 1980s, Mr. Pozsgai lived in an industrial area of Morrisville, PA, across the road from a landfill site. His property was bordered by major roads, a tire dealership and an illegal auto dump. In 1987, he bought the property on which the dump rested and proceeded to clean it up, removing 7000 tires and innumerable rusted auto parts. He prepared to add clean fill and topsoil to complete the cleanup of the site."

StrixVaria

@RPiAwesomeness Read the article that @Powerlord linked. I'm surprised he got fined so little, and it was wholly deserved.

Mad Scientist

(I have to admit that I also play Zoo on ranked, but I have a very good win ratio against the other Zoo players at low rank)

Yuuki

@OrigamiRobot Never mind, misinterpreted the term "fill".

RPi Awesomeness

@MadScientist Except you only ever see Leeroy, the 6/5 6/5 deathrattle and the 8/8 random attack dragon. If I saw a bunch of different ones, I'd be happier.

@RPiAwesomeness OH MY GOD, I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR FORMATTING, STOP PINGING ME WITH THAT.

Jason Berkan

Someone actually played the 15 second turn legendary on me last month and I got excited about it.

Mad Scientist

@JasonBerkan Well, those are the three best legendaries. But that contradicts my theory of course, those are likely standard decks

Yuuki

The first two or three times, I'm okay with it. Any more and it just gets annoying when I check back on pings and it's just the same message with leading and ending asterisks removed.

Mad Scientist

And it's a 4/5, the 6/5 is the hunter-only Savannah Highmane

RPi Awesomeness

@Yuuki Sorry :(

Again, sorry

Yuuki

8:29 PM

@RPiAwesomeness I don't mind being pinged if it's a new message. It's when you edit the same message several times over with just formatting/cosmetic changes that it gets annoying.

RPi Awesomeness

Yeah, I can see why

Yuuki

In any case, the article did say that the guy was warned by several different people/agencies several times "do not do this thing".

@MadScientist Right. I stopped playing last month due to frustration, and I've managed to forget all the details.

"under an Army Corps regulation, he did not need a permit to dump fill on an isolated wetland, which his property certainly was, but the Army Corps insisted he apply for one. He found the paperwork, like so many others, confusing and complicated. The Corps also demanded that he redam the stream so that his property would continue to be flooded."

Even after he did continue "doing that thing", he wasn't immediately prosecuted/fined and was told "please, stop doing that thing".

RPi Awesomeness

The land never was a natural wetland, it was man-made, and the Army Corps was out-stepping its bounds, you don't need a permit to dump on an isolated wetland...

Yuuki

Generally, when the federal government warns you to not do a certain thing, you at least stop and talk to them as to why and what else you can do and/or see if whatever law they cite makes sense.

RPi Awesomeness

The EPA readily admits that no toxic or hazardous wastes were involved in this case.

murgatroid99

OK, I'm just pointing out that we're arguing about a single case from 24 years ago where Rand Paul claims the EPA overstepped its authority.

RPi Awesomeness

True.

If the best example he can come up with is that old, his argument doesn't seem very strong

And this isn't "The EPA ruined everything", it's "The EPA probably slightly overstepped their bounds in classifying a patch of land"

24 years ago

Yuuki

Augh, stop giving me Cooking Bread+!

RPi Awesomeness

Oh well. I didn't mean to start an argument.

murgatroid99

@RPiAwesomeness If you don't want an argument about an article, don't post articles written by controversial politicians and don't make strong subjective claims when you post the link

Powerlord

So, who's up for some cake?

murgatroid99

@Powerlord Is it chocolate?

Yuuki

8:43 PM

@Powerlord Sure, although I wouldn't say no to some pie either.

RPi Awesomeness

@Powerlord I would say me too...but I think I may have made enemies with half The Bridge just now on accident :P

Yuuki

@RPiAwesomeness ... Dude. I'm not so petty as to consider you an "enemy" for having a small argument.

Mad Scientist

And I lost again. The random factor can be really ridiculous in Hearthstone. It's been a while that I went 1-3 in Arena

Yuuki

Or philosophical differences.

RPi Awesomeness

Good :)

In that case @Powerlord? I would love some cake, especially if it's chocolate.

If it has Coconut though... :P

@murgatroid99 Is it bad I actually had to stop and check to make sure that was the real Google Blog?

murgatroid99

@Powerlord That's the only way I could make sure it was believable.

Also, as a Google employee, we're only supposed to link official Google press releases for public information about Google

One of my coworkers just stopped to ask my how many bytes to a character there were when sending JSON across the wire.

8:54 PM

@Powerlord Fired.

Powerlord

I just assumed it was 1 byte / character in English 'cause UTF-8.

You know this program I was talking about yesterday? The one that I had to disable UAC for?

murgatroid99

@Powerlord They feed us, so we usually eat lunch when they're serving lunch

I've been getting a false positive from Norton about their key installation file. So I figured I'd let them know about it, so they can do something about it.

8:56 PM

@Powerlord hey, you never know. It could be UTF-16

Frank

Here's what I got back:

StrixVaria

@murgatroid99 Lunch is from 11:30-2 here, but if you go between 12-1 then the lines are way too long.

Frank

> We have seen this on NORTON and AVAST. We have been just working around it until the manufacturer comes up with a solution

Powerlord

@murgatroid99 What do you think this is, Java or C# or VB.NET?
