@Powerlord How is "de" a year?

Powerlord

@badp How is decade 10 years?

user2334

@Ullallulloo Oh. For some reason I was thinking 8.9 not 89. Inadvertently confusing centi- with deci- is 45 trillion zeptohitlers

badp

@Powerlord Abbreviating "decade" to "de" is at roughly 300 milliHitlers

Powerlord

@badp Except that "deca" is the prefix for 10.

Ullallulloo

@Powerlord Yep. A decide is 36.5256363004 days long.

Q: How do I level RARE dragons past level 10?

I have been able to level up half my elemental dragons past level 10. I don't know how to level my RARE dragons past level 10.

Q: Train maintenance in openttd

In all games I play it seems like my trains are not doing scheduled maintenance at all even though they are scheduled to do so every 150 days. This only happens to my trains i.e. it works fine for planes, road vehicles and ships. I usually have path signals on my tracks - but it does not seem to...

user2334

> from L. decidere "to decide, determine," lit. "to cut off," from de- "off" (see de-) + caedere "to cut"

user2334

Decade is Greek. From dekas

fbueckert

Somebody who plays Dragonvale:

There are many dragons which do not map to any elements, and these are rare. I do not know if some dragons (such as Panlong dragons or opposite dragons) might be called "rare" (they are less frequent to breed and are affected by bonuses to breeding "rare" dragons, IIRC) which are affected by shrines. Still, the dragons in the 'rare' category when selecting to filter are separate and aren't covered in the linked question. — Peter 8 mins ago

Are these dragons treated differently than regular ones?

Q: I've impregnanted a cow. How long until it gives birth?

My cow is pregnant, but the game doesn't include any instructions for pregnancy, so I'm not sure how long it takes for the cow to give birth. Furthermore, how long after birth does it take the baby cow to produce milk?

@Wipqozn Not answering

Wipqozn

I thought you guys might appreciate the title.

Krazer

@fbueckert What does this even mean?

fbueckert

@Krazer From what I can tell, apparently non-elemental dragons can't be leveled past 10 like regular dragons.

I think.

I don't play Dragonvale, so I haven't the foggiest if it's true or not.

Invader Skoodge

I seriously don't understand bitcoin.

fbueckert

@InvaderSkoodge It's "money" created by expending processing power.

Invader Skoodge

@fbueckert I understand those words, but I don't get the concept.

fbueckert

@InvaderSkoodge You're essentially burning power to confirm and verify previous transactions. And you get paid in the same currency.

Invader Skoodge

What is preventing my from oopsing up the number of 0s at the end of my balance.

It was supposed to be unhackable, but that's been proven crazy false.

@InvaderSkoodge The protocol is centralized and keeps track of who was awarded what.

Q: Improving at sniping

If I do not have COD2 on my system, is there a small game I can play to practice sniping and improve my accuracy and speed? How do I improve sniping in general?

game-rec

WHY @BADP WHY?!?!?

fbueckert

And the processing of this protocol is what checks and verifies everything is kosher.

Invader Skoodge

@fbueckert > Bitcoin is administered through a decentralized peer-to-peer network.

@InvaderSkoodge Bwuh?

fbueckert

Okay, shows what I know.

Invader Skoodge

Bitcoin

Bitcoin (sign: ฿; abbrv: BTC) is a decentralized digital currency created by the pseudonymous entity Satoshi Nakamoto. It is the most widely used alternative currency,, with the total market cap at over 100 million US dollars. Bitcoin has no central issuer; instead, the peer-to-peer network regulates Bitcoins' balances, transactions and issuance according to consensus in network software. Bitcoins are issued to various nodes that verify transactions through computing power; it is established that there will be a limited and scheduled release of no more than 21 million coins, which wil...

Oh lame I can't onebox a subsection on here.

Wipqozn

@badp game-rec. You're a monster.

fbueckert

@InvaderSkoodge Oh. So, essentially, the transactions done via bitcoins are what you're expending processing power on.

Invader Skoodge

Either way this question should get deleted soon.

Krazer

21:23

@fbueckert seems legit dragonvale.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Shrines looks like this is how to level dragon with elements, I guess since non-elemental ones don't have this they can't level past 10

pixel

apparently next week I am staying in a not-as-nice hotel

fbueckert

@Krazer Yeah, that's what I've been seeing.

Krazer

@fbueckert that "Rare" part confused me

fbueckert

@Krazer Bad wording.

Raven Dreamer

And I had lunch with @Jin.

badp

@RavenDreamer Jap lunch or bacon lunch?

Raven Dreamer

Chinese, actually.

Though come to think of it, the 2nd time it was a bacon lunch.

Krazer

chinese bacon is quite good

Oh, good, someone who plays Dragonvale responded.

Q: Should I move enchanted items to a cleared level so that monsters can't get them?

I'm playing Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. I'm on level 10 of the main dungeon. When I kill an orc, it may drop, say, shiny plate mail and a glowing battleaxe. If I leave those items on the floor, an enemy—say, an orc warrior—could later pick them up and use them. Should I trouble myself...

For the actual server you will need to talk to @MarcoCeppi about that, he mentioned how a small Wordpress installation would work on the GameOn server. I don't have any access or anything myself.

As for hard example data, I don't have a lot myself.

Gray Stoat

@MarcoCeppi I'd need a wp installation for which I am admin, and write access to wp-content so I can install plugins and tinker with the theme.

The server thing is also courtesy of @MarcoCeppi and his server status api thing.
