I'm sorry if us mentioning it bothers you - I am not intending to jump on anyone, I am just concerned that someone could be hurt/offended.

Yuuki

While I'll give you posting @GnomeSlice's original messages, the generator as I've worked on it so far makes wholly original autocorrect-mangled messages, that doesn't apply.

fredley

Someone should feed GnomePhone to FlackBot

SaintWacko

@Yuuki Yes, but connecting it to @GnomeSlice is an issue

Tim Stone

@fredley You can't cross the streams like that man

Rapitor

why is there so many flags coming from gamedev

SaintWacko

8:02 PM

Using his avatar

Calling it GnomePhone

Rapitor

someone in that chat must be really easily offended

user15026

You're using his image and likeness to promote a thing, along with his words here in chat.

Yuuki

Someone clear the stars on that last tweet then until we clear this up then.

Sterno

DRAMA

Rapitor

now just ping @GnomeSlice until he responds

user15026

8:03 PM

@Rapitor I think he is at work right now.

Yuuki

@fredley The only show top 1 option for the star list is a little funky.

user15026

For all I know, he isn't going to care, but think of it like any use of other people's stuff - you need to make sure the people whose info/creations you are using are okay with it.

fredley

@Yuuki Yeah, not much I can do about that

Or wait, what do you mean?

Screenshot?

Yuuki

fredley

@Yuuki Get a wider screen

Yuuki

8:05 PM

Basically, it hides the other starred posts for about a split second.

And then expands again.

fredley has made a change to nothing at all

Yuuki

@StackExchange @fredley Yeah, that works.

Unionhawk

Wait wh..?

Sterno

8:07 PM

I'll mod abuse you.

Yuuki

Hmm. There has been a serious lack of Friday links today.

Unionhawk

Does this mean that Stack Exchange is going to repost my message in about 10 minutes here?

@Sterno @fredley I can't decide whether I'm disappointed in or proud of the both of you.

fredley

@Unionhawk If so, I'm looking forward to it

8:08 PM

@Rapitor who is being flagged?

fredley

I wonder if a lifehacks chat star feed would be a good idea

Rapitor

@KevinvanderVelden i don't know, just message that was perfectly fine (had some language, but it wasnt insult or anything)

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot @Rapitor When doing BB missions, will missions for independent minor factions help me at all or probably not?

Origami Robot

No

Rapitor

@Unionhawk most of the time no, but sometimes missions work on 2 factions

Unionhawk

8:10 PM

That's what I thought

Kevin van der Velden

@Rapitor ok, I thought a certain person might be using another sockpuppet or something

Rapitor

courier and dlivery missions

Kevin van der Velden

There was a bit of a... falling out when I put him on ignore

Unionhawk

Okay, this system is probably a bust let's move on

The Citizens' Forum people are crazy, and the other minor factions are independent

@John FIRST HISTORY ENTRY

Kevin van der Velden

WHY ISN'T IT NAMED STARBOT?

Unionhawk

Rapitor

user15026

user15026

it is unnecessary

John

@Unionhawk Yes I saw that but couldn't figure out what feed he changed

@John He added chat.stackexchange.com/feeds/rooms/starred/35

user15026

Can we not?

fredley

Ok ok

John

@KevinvanderVelden Oh, apparently I don't read well.

Feeds

fredley has stopped a feed from being posted into this room

user15026

If people want stars, we have a very nice list, over there ----->

Rapitor

8:13 PM

starred posts from other sites might be... entertaining, but stalky

fredley

Something something derail the bridge

Kevin van der Velden

@AshleyNunn that's whitespace =p

fredley

@Rapitor Sounds ideal!

John

@Rapitor Pick like 5 rooms at random and feed all their stars here.

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley fortunately we are in a space ship and are thus not on any rails

Yuuki

8:14 PM

@KevinvanderVelden I dunno, it's pretty dark to me.

user15026

@KevinvanderVelden shush, you

Kevin van der Velden

@Yuuki try turning on your monitor

Origami Robot

I have no idea what's going on, but I'm sure you're all idiots.

Rapitor

@John yeah no, that'd be a wall of text like when a51 posts

@OrigamiRobot you're not wrong

Kevin van der Velden

@AshleyNunn it's still over whitespace! Just another half a dozen messages

user15026

8:14 PM

@Rapitor A lot of rooms use stars for less entertaining things

John

@OrigamiRobot You are correct.

user15026

@KevinvanderVelden I WILL GET THERE

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot fredley made a feed bot that posts the stars to chat

John

@Rapitor Maybe feed like 1 star per hour and alternate rooms at random

Yuuki

AutogamiCADbot is currently replenishing his supply of capital letters.

Kevin van der Velden

8:15 PM

@AshleyNunn You're at the banana autocorrect!

Rapitor

just give us stars from lifehacks

murgatroid99

@John I don't think that's a feed we have

user15026

@KevinvanderVelden SUCCESS

Rapitor

that oughta be amusing

Kevin van der Velden

Or it's not autocorrect maybe, you can never tell

John

8:15 PM

@murgatroid99 I'm sure someone can make it.

Origami Robot

You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Kevin van der Velden

Probably, but why specifically?

Origami Robot

Don't act like you don't know what you did.

John

At this rate, I will have another "Great Question" badge in a day or two. :O

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot that's the problem, there's too many things to choose from!

Q: Terraria - Person Stuck In Wrong Room

I made a new room for the shop guy that came along but unfortunately the starting help guy got in there and doesn't come out. The shop guy is outside, just walking around. What should I do?

Powerlord

She's a Mafia! We should hang her!

Kevin van der Velden

I mean, between the CENSORED and the REDACTED, not to mention the CENSORED it's just to hard to keep track of what I should be ashamed off

Rapitor

@KevinvanderVelden ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

John

@Powerlord I played that game for the first time last night.

So confusing

But oddly enjoyable

and somewhat sobering

Powerlord

@John Isn't it, though?

You have to be good at: 1. Making people believe you when you're telling the truth. 2. Avoiding attention. 3. Making people believe you when you're lieing. 4. Judging whether other people are lying.

I'm good at 1-3, but not so much 4

Yuuki

8:22 PM

I think most people are bad at 4 over the Internet.

Which leads to 1 and 3 being easy.

Unionhawk

"Election"? :o

That's apparently a state that a faction can be in

(in elite)

Powerlord

Well, I'm decent at most roles in Town of Salem. Just not jailor ever.

Yuuki

@Unionhawk You should run for mod.

Powerlord

If I'm Jailor, town will lose.

Yuuki

Platform: "me pro much".

John

8:23 PM

@Powerlord Yeah, that's pretty tricky for me. I got exe for my first game, and I said one thing about my target and like 3 people said "nice try, exe"

Unionhawk

In fact, LTT 1581 is nearing an imperial takeover cc @OrigamiRobot @Rapitor @TimStone

Rapitor

neat.

Unionhawk

Or a fed takeover

Powerlord

@John Wow, bad role to get first game

Rapitor

not neat.

John

8:24 PM

@Powerlord Good, glad it gets better. I did literally nothing the entire game.

Kevin van der Velden

I got serial killer my first game, first round I got put in jail

FUN TIMES

Yuuki

I got Framer my first time.

Powerlord

@John If your target dies without getting lynched, you become a jester.

Yuuki

Mafia tends to win these, I think.

John

@KevinvanderVelden Sounds like when I played a version of this game irl. Everyone was seated around the table, I was innocent and yet I was unanimously lynched on day 1.

Tim Stone

8:24 PM

@Unionhawk :o

Powerlord

I've seen that actually work to a player's advantage as someone called them out as being invulnerable one night and their target died that night and then the town lynched them

John

@Powerlord Yeah and then what? Be like "hey guys, I'm totally the mafia"

Yuuki

@John Well, you got better.

Unionhawk

Citizens Forum 6% (Election) (imperial)
Empire Party 8% (Election) (imperial)
LTT 1581 Gold Posse 38% (Civil Unrest) (independent, controls system)
LTT 1581 Corporation 23% (Boom) (imperial)
Social LTT 1581 Partnership 23% (none) (fed)

John

@Powerlord Oh, wow, that's lucky.

Powerlord

8:25 PM

@John Well, as a Jester, you need a bit of luck... and also it helps if you say the wrong thing but not be too obvious.

Unionhawk

I guess it's not a "near" takeover since a single minor faction needs a plurality iirc

John

@Powerlord Heh

Powerlord

Incidentally, I find it's a good thing to have a fake will ready when you're not a town member.

So, if someone asks you to paste your will...

John

I got called out as invulnerable one night, but no one did absolutely anything about it

Powerlord

(like the jailor)

John

8:26 PM

No one said a word.

@Powerlord Why would you do this? I still haven't figured out much use for wills

Powerlord

I'll be honest, though, Classic mode is aimed at beginners because town wins most of the time.

John

@Powerlord My game ended with only me and gf alive

Powerlord

@John It's absolutely useful when you're investigator or sheriff.

John

@Powerlord Oh, I guess I'll see when I get those roles

Powerlord

Escort and Transporter it could be useful. Bodyguard probably too.

In advanced games it becomes useful because of the invariable time when someone will ask you your role.

"I'm a doctor and I healed these people pastes list"

John

8:29 PM

@Powerlord Oooh

I got asked my role and was just like "why would I tell you?"

Powerlord

@John Well, mainly you keep it in case you get jailed.

'cause the Jailor can execute you.

Yuuki

1. Get asked role. 2. Claim Serial Killer.

John

@Powerlord Oh :o

@Yuuki ...I should've done that.

Well, maybe too obvious?

Yuuki

Insanity Wolf!

John

@Yuuki I was Jester

Powerlord

8:30 PM

Well, I've seen a Jester call someone out as Mafia before... and was right.

John

@Powerlord I did that last night, actually.

Powerlord

Not only got one of the Mafia, but got the Consigliere... the Mafia investigator.

Yuuki

@John Claim Jester.

John

Called out the silent person as mafia, and was right

Powerlord

I think everyone believed that from then on.

John

8:31 PM

@Yuuki And then what? I die in the next night?

Yuuki

@John It's a big risk.

Either the Town doesn't believe you and lynches you because.

Powerlord

One of the times I was jailor, I had people yelling at me for not jailing an killing "the obvious jester". Who did I kill that night instead of the Jester? The guy who was claiming to be a survivor when there were no possible survivor roles left.

John

Hmm

Yuuki

Or the Mafia will kill you because they know you're not one of them.

John

@Powerlord hahaha

Powerlord

8:32 PM

So... I got yelled at for killing the Godfather instead of the Jester.

Yuuki

And thus if not Jester, am probably Serial Killer or another Independent role.

Powerlord

Incidentally, claiming survivor as Jester might work.

Then again, it could get you shot by Mafia as they don't believe you.

If you really are a survivor, wear your vest the night after claiming it.

Unionhawk

So yeah, that's the new plan, take over LTT 1581.

John

Now I want to play this game again.

Unionhawk

For the Empire

Yuuki

8:34 PM

I remember this one Survivor who took out three separate Villagers.

I think he got the Jailor, Doctor, and Sheriff.

That game ended quickly.

Powerlord

@Yuuki How? Survivor can't attack. Or did you mean Veteran?

Yuuki

@Powerlord Veteran, yeah.

Whichever one kills whomever visits him during the night.

Unionhawk

Apparently Election leads to a potential pending state of expansion and boom?

I think essentially the two factions in this state will decide between themselves based on influence, and then combine into a larger faction?

I don't know

I'm trying to find when Election was added as a state

Recently, OK

Or not, I don't know

Q: Are we allowed to ask questions about the nintendo Smash Bros poll?

Unionhawk

Essentially, this is the current situation on faction mechanics

Powerlord

Oh yeah, speaking of Town of Salem Veteran earlier, I swear they ruin my game when I'm an evil attacking role.

Yuuki

I don't see what viable questions could be asked about the poll anyways. "What did you vote for" is opinion-based and "is Character X allowed" is probably developer intent. — Yuuki 1 min ago
