A: Community Promotion Ads - 2012

agent86

@StackExchange I'm working with a friend who works at an indie studio to help promote their game, Nuclear Dawn. We're probably going to see if we can't give away a bunch of free copies on the site in celebration of a new version they're putting out. If you'd like to help out, I've posted a community ad for consideration in the rotation. Upvote it if you think it's worthy :)

Q: Exhaust priority and masteries

When you exhaust someone who is already exhausted, it refreshes the timer. You can think of it as the first is overridden I suppose. BUT if the first person to cast it has summoner mastery for it and the second person does not (and vice versa I suppose as well) when will the improved armor and ...

Question Repeated for Convenience When should Infinity Edge be prioritized on a carry? When is IE the best option in a build, with respect to early game success and ranged carry types? While this question is short and to the point, there are a number of facets to it that make it a very ...

18:07

@StrixVaria question repeated for convenience? facepalm highly coherent answer to a LoL question? \o/

StrixVaria

@agent86 This is a RL friend I sicced on the LoL questions. I'm not sure why he repeats the question in all his answers, but the answers are good so whatever.

agent86

@StrixVaria yeah, especially since his answers are going to bubble to the top for being so thorough. We can always fix it later, I'm just happy for the quality LoL post

Arda Xi

Wasn't Nexuiz a free game?

agent86

@ArdaXi yeah, then they sold the name to some other company

Arda Xi

Just the name then?

agent86

18:11

there's still a free "fork" of it around, but the new game with that name is unrelated, iirc

Ben Brocka

@StrixVaria shouldn't that be protected?

agent86

@BenBrocka I could swear I did at one point, perhaps someone removed it.

I've moderated so many LoL questions though, they all blend together

badp

@agent86 Although I think that particular game has a few too many problems, +1 for the effort and networking!

agent86

@badp wewt for +1's

badp

(shooter-strategy hybrids have a number of problems I'm tired to suffer from and Nuclear Dawn does nothing to fix them. I can't blame them really: Gabe Newell's solution to the same problems in TF2 was dropping the strategy side of the equation entirely.)

agent86

18:19

well, maybe they're patching the problems, who knows :P

oh, probably not then

badp

@agent86 It's more like design problems, like "no one wants to comm" and/or "the comm sucks, what now" and/or "backseating" and/or ...

Ben Brocka

@badp TF2 is still crazy strategy oriented compared to most FPS games...

badp

@BenBrocka Yeah, but it doesn't have a commander overseeing team operations and the buildings from a top-down view.

It originally did; it was scrapped because they couldn't make the role fun.

The dev commentary mentions this.

Ben Brocka

oh, ew, that would be lame

badp

(Nuclear Dawn and Allegiance, otoh, do have this role.)

Rapida

18:23

I swear the person that does Rift Myths is using some of our questions as examples (not that I mind overly much since I just use his videos in my answers).

badp

It would make a lot of sense to have somebody with a view of the entire battlefield coordinate pushes and whatnot

"Sentry left down, medic uber the heavy and mop them down. Team push with them. EVERYBODY PUSH LEFT NOW OR I BOOT!!"

Ben Brocka

ehhh, too much power for one person, impossible to coordinate ect

and god damn, imagine if your coordinator didn't have a mic

or was a micspammer. So easy to troll or be worthless and ruin the whole team

badp

@BenBrocka #mutiny

Ben Brocka

At least if someone's only playing to micspam and use pornographic sprays they don't get the entire team killed

even if entire team is babies

badp

but you need somebody willing to call the mutiny and became the commander in his place.

Is it really the commander's fault if the medic got backstabbed by a spy as soon as he got out of the left tunnel?

It might appear so from the field.

James

18:28

Wow, there is way too much blue going on in here.

Ben Brocka

Oh yeah, they'd totally break spies too

badp

Will your players follow your commands? Hardly. So what are you even doing then? Ethereal engineer?

Ben Brocka

@James banned for not being a mod

James

@BenBrocka sad-face

Guess Ill just go to lunch :)

Ben Brocka

@badp if you're a medic people tend to listen, especially your meatshield

and if they don't, you don't have to heal them!

Q: How does the direction of a game during creation affect its success?

This question has been bothering me for a while since I never managed to find a good answer for it. How exactly do all the direction choices when creating a new game affect its ratings, chances of winning an award, or how well it sells? If I wanted to create a sumo puzzle game and put all my poi...

I've been building a number of redstone circuits lately, and to keep them protected I've been enclosing each entire circuit in obsidian.

@Stephen he is one of the biggest commentators, I'm pretty sure most people that follow starcraft community know who he is

Stephen

@blem I just tripped over it ... the parodies are pretty good. I'm going to have "Banelings ..." stuck in my head for the rest of the afternoon.

Blem

i can fix that

TylerShads

@Stephen Just don't listen to SCV Love Song...not as good at all IMO. Good original, but you go to those songs for parody, not seriousness :)

Stephen

@TylerShads Too late :( But I bounced back with another round of Nerdy and I know it.

TylerShads

@Stephen Best one since Banelings, IMO. Can't wait to see if they are serious about making another 3 (ntm how long it will take)

OrigamiRobot

WTF NOW I SEE MYSELF AS RED?!?!?!

Tristan

18:52

@OrigamiRobot You've been red for months!

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan I have not!

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot But you have.

Hey, @OrigamiRobot wanna make a pretty sweet trade?

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan ?

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot I will mail you one of my MtG booster boxes (opened and semi-sorted) if you buy me Fraps. =P

Ian Pugsley

@Tristan what set?

OrigamiRobot

18:55

@Tristan Perhaps

@IanPugsley NO HE OFFERED ME FIRST

Like the set really matters...

Tristan

@IanPugsley Well, I have Scars of Mirridon, Besieged, New Phyrexia, and some from the random "starter sets" and fat packs.

Ian Pugsley

@Tristan I would like you to educate yourself on prices before you make this decision

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot Keep in mind, I won't know what is in the box, but I'll make sure it's not just basic land.

Ian Pugsley

a Sword of War and Peace goes for $40 right now, Sword of Feast and Famine is $30+

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan So by "booster box" you mean "box of random cards"

Ian Pugsley

18:57

@Tristan ah nm

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot Basically. But there will be a booster box worth of cards in there. And they aren't sorted by color or rarity. I just mean that I try and keep all the sets in their proper boxes.

@IanPugsley I have one of those, I think.

Ronan Forman

Anyone else want to join me and @Tristan in LoL?

Ian Pugsley

@Tristan deckbox.org/users/thepugs

I'd be very glad to trade with you, and would be open to my side of the trade involving Fraps

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan I will buy you Fraps if you renounce you love for Lindsey Stirling.

Blem

I'm considering selling my MtG cards, not like i have used them for years

Tristan

18:59

@OrigamiRobot Deal.

Ian Pugsley

@Blem deal

how much? :P

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan HOW COULD YOU!

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot That's a sweet deal, dude.

Blem

was thinking of going down to my local store and see what they will pay

Ian Pugsley

seriously though @Blem, I'm definitely open to buying if you're interested in selling, though that can change depending on where you live (I live in Charlotte, NC and shipping can get nasty with many pounds of cards)

@Blem oh dear lord please don't do this

Blem

19:01

I live in denmark, so that would be a long way to send them

Ian Pugsley

@Blem oh dear

talk to @FAE maybe? :P

Blem

they should be at least a couple of hundred $ worth, i know there is a Bazaar of Baghdad and a couple other

Ian Pugsley

if you can provide any information about what sets you might have (and whether or not cards are foreign) I can help provide pricing

@Blem oh goodness yeah, I couldn't afford your collection :P

OrigamiRobot

@Blem That is like $300 by itself

badp

Makes silenced pistol. Misses shot. Everybody in the whole fucking district hears it.

@IanPugsley wait what, $1.5k? for one card? That's almost as ridicolous as unusuals.

@badp lol, that's nothing

Really FGITW?

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot I assume you refer to the answer scores?

haha, was just about to say FGITW

agent86

@Sterno seems to hide the room title and the description, but not the user list on my browser

also, if you steal my CC info off this, make sure you only buy high class porn - don't want my wife to think I'm settling for that cheap stuff.

Sterno

@agent86 It doesn't hide it by default, since I discovered that on my monitor at least, I can see all stars with just the room info hidden. But there should be a link to hide it right at the start of the starred lsit

agent86

19:11

@Sterno fancy!

you should list this on stackapps if you haven't already

Ben Brocka

Deleting the nodes for the user list/ect didn't seem to actually increase the number of stars it shows

agent86

@BenBrocka there's a max of 10 apparently :(

Ben Brocka

ah, yeah that's all I see

agent86

at my resolution, I could only see maybe 2 or 3

I've also got a long "other rooms" list

Ben Brocka

yeah, that happens on my laptop but not at woik

Raven Dreamer

I had a dream about Diablo III last night.

I dreamt I got a review copy of the game, which came with a lego mecha that I had to assemble before I could play it.

And man did I wake up hating legos.

@RavenDreamer I vote you change your username. LegoDreamer.

@IanPugsley Your Trade List... Are those cards you have or cards you *want?

user2334

Need to prevent trademark dilution, though. LEGO® Brand Dreamer

Raven Dreamer

19:36

Raven is an adjective, not a noun.

murgatroid99

@RavenDreamer In that context, so is LEGO

Ronan Forman

@RavenDreamer That sounds like a terrible business strategy.

Raven Dreamer

As in, "Raven-Coloured Dreamer" with the English spelling, because sometimes I just want to be pretentious.

Ronan Forman

@MarkTrapp No, It never ends!

Raven Dreamer

ALSO

In an example of how utterly small our world is

I found out that @Jin's mom is my brother's Chinese teacher.

Tristan

19:39

@RavenDreamer The Sergeant First Class who recruited me for the Army became my platoon sergeant three years later. <.<

Man did I hate him...

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan I don't know if I can trust one who betrays so easily.

Raven Dreamer

@Tristan Because he convinced you to join the Army?

Ronan Forman

@Tristan You're odd.

Did you know that?

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot Betrayal? I renounced my claim on Lindsey Stirling so that a) you could date her. And 2) so I could get Fraps!

@RavenDreamer Yes.

@RonanForman ^

Ullallulloo

@RavenDreamer That's a very large coincidence there.

Ben Brocka

19:41

@Tristan two more?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Raven Dreamer

@Ullallulloo Well, Jin's mother is the only Chinese teacher at the university my brother and I go to.

The coincidence is that I met Jin, I suppose.

Ian Pugsley

@Tristan have, though I need to update it for Innistrad/Dark Ascension

the Wishlist is cards I want

Raven Dreamer

Geez. Chat is doing that thing again where whenever someone posts anything, I get re-pinged with all the messages I've been @ 'd at since I entered chat.

@IanPugsley Can I say welcome back from your trip yet? Or are you still traveling?

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan But you did it so easily! You must be a robot.

Ian Pugsley

@RavenDreamer who what?

did I miss the part where I was on a trip?

oh oh when I went home to MD

yeah, I got back from that on the 18th

Tristan

19:54

@IanPugsley If I find time, I'll go through my cards and see if I have any on your wishlist.

Raven Dreamer

Geez. I guess I really have been out of it this last week.

Ian Pugsley

@RavenDreamer yeah, things have been weird for people's schedules these last couple weeks

@Tristan that would be most excellent - there's plenty of other stuff I'm looking for, so if you get the time I'd be totally open to some trades if you wanna stick some of your stuff online :)

Raven Dreamer

@IanPugsley Well, that and the six MEEEEELION flags the latest LoL promotion created.

Tristan

@IanPugsley Will do.

Ooh! Rammus is F2P this week.

Ian Pugsley

@RavenDreamer I don't wanna talk about that :(

@Tristan specifically things from sets between Kamigawa and Zendikar (when I wasn't playing)

Tristan

19:56

@IanPugsley I don't know if I have any of those... But I'll check.

Ian Pugsley

@Tristan the cool stuff was all in Planar Chaos and Time Spiral

StrixVaria

@IanPugsley The cool stuff was in Onslaught.

Ian Pugsley

@StrixVaria you and your Onslaught

StrixVaria

Storm was my favorite mechanic ever.

Raven Dreamer

I'm pretty sure my most valuable cards are the two Chrome Mox cards I have.

Ian Pugsley

@RavenDreamer I didn't know you played!

Raven Dreamer

@IanPugsley I had a brief resurgence around Odyssy / 7th Edition.
