LessPop_MoreFizz

@AshleyNunn TBQH, at this point, with that latest revision, I'm pretty sure that 'missing' just means 'buried alive, presumed dead.' The distinction was relevant before they were able to get a hold of people who they weren't sure if they were home during landslide and such.

And they didn't bother to revise the count until they could do one big revision.

I doubt there will be many more of any scale. :(

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz More than likely, all things considered. Are they still trying to find people, or have they called it quits?

LessPop_MoreFizz

I really want to see this.

I’ve probably mentioned this before, but that was the whole idea behind the (ill-fated) Shadowrun FPS

LessPop_MoreFizz

@FEichinger That's not a true hellban, because it's announced.

Fluttershy

I know there are some other games that have done a similar system. I can't think of what they are though. :(

Brant

You had unlockable aimbots/lowgrav/noclip/wallhacks and it was explained as “err, magic/tech"

LessPop_MoreFizz

02:02

the beauty of a hellban is that the hellbannee never learns that they have been hellbanned.

In this case, you get a big warning saying HEY YOU'RE A CHEATER, NOW YOU ONLY GET TO PLAY WITH CHEATERS.

Not quite the same.

Fluttershy

I find it funny though, the fact that a game with a weapon that is basically a legal aimbot has to ban people for aimbotting.

FEichinger

@LessPop_MoreFizz You're wrong.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@FEichinger That it's announced, or as to what a hell ban is?

FEichinger

The latter.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Because if it's the former, I could very well be misreading the article.

But as to the latter, no

Just no.

I've been around SA, where hellbans originated for a decade. My credentials on this point are impeccable.

The whole idea of a hell ban is that a user keeps posting as normal, but nobody can see what he posts.

that's the whole point of a hellban

Brant

02:07

And since they don’t know they’re banned, they go on wasting their own time and not looking for ways around it

But seriously you guys THE WIMBLEDON OF AIMBOTS

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz That's how I have always heard it, because then they don't know it and just kinda waste their lives there and never figure it out, thus they cannot come bitch and whatever

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Brant Exactly. That's the whole idea of a hellban. You can just post and post and post and it just seems like nobody is paying attention to you

MBraedley

I think Jeff once described a similar situation as a "special hell" ban, although that still isn't quite the case for this, since the users still know they're banned.

Ktash

@Brant I kind of want to make an aimbot and see how it does...

MBraedley

Maybe it was Joel. It was in a blog post a wile back

Brant

02:12

I know, right? It’ll be like those Brood War AI competitions

LessPop_MoreFizz

@MBraedley It was Jeff, he was referring to a variant on hellbans that has since evolved, where hellbanned people can only interact with each other, which is what titanfall is doing. But again, the key difference is that titanfall yells at you that this is happening to you.

Which doesn't defeat the purpose of the segregation, but does make it not a true hellban.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz I like the idea of all the terrible people spending time with all the other terrible people and thinking terrible people is all their world is

LessPop_MoreFizz

(I'd also argue that said variant is substantially worse than a normal hellban in terms of effectiveness, because unless your quantity of banned users is very high, it becomes very obvious to people very quickly what has happened to them.)

MBraedley

@LessPop_MoreFizz Pretty much what I was just about to say.

LessPop_MoreFizz

I much prefer the version where they are left screaming into the void and being ignored.

I'm not quibbling with the policy, just the description thereof.

David M

@AshleyNunn WTF?!?

spugsley

@DavidM I have a BA in English Studies

David M

@spugsley Why doesn't you hangs out on ELU with us nerds?

spugsley

@DavidM bad experience.

really really bad

I will never go back.

user15026

SHe liked nothing. My clothes were wrong, my shoes were wrong, I looked "like I didn't care" and my pitch was "unconvincing" and I "didn't sound like I knew what Iwas talking about" and then I kinda lost it a little and she was like "I don't want to be rude but I think you would be better off with something less with people"

David M

04:50

@spugsley They set fire to your cat?

How bad of an experience could it have been?

spugsley

@AshleyNunn .....don't they know what fucking training is?

user15026

And thus, I burst into those stupid blubbery tears in the hunting aisle

spugsley

@DavidM just incredibly rude, horrible people

user15026

It was not my finest moment

user15026

then I called my sister

spugsley

04:51

I felt awful and anxious

user15026

and she picked me up and we had pizza

user15026

@spugsley hugs tight

user15026

@spugsley Do I ever grok that.

spugsley

@AshleyNunn aww that's nice <3

user15026

@spugsley They aren't very good people or very much knowing anything about anything

Ktash

04:52

@AshleyNunn hugs. Just... all the hugs

David M

Well ... if it makes you feel at all better @AshleyNunn just taught me the word grok. I'd heard it in passing, but I actually looked it up.

user15026

@DavidM Excellent. :D

David M

@AshleyNunn Me likey

spugsley

I just wish I seemed hireable to anyone. I don't really know what's wrong with me

user15026

@spugsley I have no idea. :(

user15026

04:54

Too bad we can't hire each other

spugsley

Yes, I wish I had gone to school for something worthwhile but I didn't but I'm not a bad person or employee

@AshleyNunn omg yes

Ktash

@spugsley In!!!

@AshleyNunn DOUBLE IN!!

spugsley

04:56

@AshleyNunn OMG YES

David M

@spugsley You need to work your strengths. Look for a local magazine or paper, and try to get in the door as a photog/admin asst.

Ktash

Gah, you two are going to break me again...

spugsley

I think you'd be PERFECT for that

David M

You have some buzz in that regard, and you can show some published works.

spugsley

@DavidM I've been trying. Even offering to do it unpaid (I don't actually need the money) but it seems as though Charlotte isn't the place. I've started looking at neighboring counties

user15026

04:57

@spugsley I know right? I read all the right blogs, I am totally all kinda of sex-posi yay and just....(also it would horrify my mom a little and I can't say that wouldn't be funny)

David M

@spugsley You can always start a website for your photography.

spugsley

@DavidM I have a website www.samanthapugsley.com :p

David M

@AshleyNunn You can do it. Go in and say, I'm not judgmental. I like sex. And, I'm not afraid to tell people.

user15026

@DavidM That's the plan!

David M

@spugsley I mean a monetized site or one where you get clients.

@AshleyNunn And, if need be, whip it out and show them.

OK, maybe that's a step too far.

Ktash

04:58

@AshleyNunn Had a friend who worked at an adult shop. He enjoyed it alright. Always had stories lol

user15026

@DavidM I have so many responses, none of them appropriate :P

Ktash

@AshleyNunn do it

David M

I have a friend who opened one. Not sure what ever happened, though. Lost touch.

Ktash

I should not be encouraging this while I'm trying to go to bed soon

David M

@AshleyNunn I promise not to flag.

spugsley

04:59

@DavidM it's hard. I don't really want clients in the typical sense. Weddings, portraits, etc, that's not my thing. Now I would love to sell for editorial and other print media and I have myself set up on a few sites that work as a third party which is generally the way to go for that
