Q: Castle Age: how to fight monsters to maximize Favor Points?

Is there a strategy or some hints how to fight monsters to get more Favor Points? I've found no rule there yet, I've noticed I get Favor Points sometimes if I'm in the top of the beaters, but not always. And sometimes I haven't attacked so much but still I get some FP. Maybe I've should noticed ...

@fbueckert Not all sites, at least not anymore

Powerlord

I just noticed that I can sell things I get in Super Monday Night Combat on the Steam Market

Since I decided I hate that game, I should sell everything I had. \o/

Oh wait, now it's telling me I have 0 items despite listed 26 on the Choose An Item page next to Super Monday Night Combat

badp

@Powerlord That's likely because 0 of your 26 items are marketable

@LessPop_MoreFizz you'd think he'd get bored of trolling

Ben Brocka

Keiji Inafune and some Mega Man devs are making a Mega Man esque game. It will probably be released before Capcom's next Mega Man game, if any

@MadScientist His suspension on Skeptics is over pretty soon...

Mad Scientist

@LessPop_MoreFizz Huh? A year goes by pretty fast

RedRiderX

@BenBrocka This might be the third time this has been mentioned in the last 24 hours.

But still, it's a big story.

Ben Brocka

@RedRiderX Thought it might, still worth mentioning

Hello!

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka Repost, but have a star.

Wipqozn

@RedRiderX I think it's the fourth.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn I posted it twice, so yeah

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice mentioned it twice, I mentioned and once, and the penguin makes four.

GnomeSlice

Actually I posted it three times

@Wipqozn I mentioned it three times

@Wipqozn He probably within 5 minutes of each

@OrigamiRobot 2 yesterday within an hour, one today

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice This just reinforces my theory that you're just a spam bot.

Powerlord

@Wipqozn So says the person with a made up word for a name

Wipqozn

@Powerlord I'm special.

This also might not be so violently downvoted if it weren't somewhat tone-deaf to the situation. This wasn't a "new users who put forth some effort to engage"; they were quite demanding and imperious, refusing to engage in discussion about the question, preferring to simply repeat their demands that it be answered or they would "get mad" and leave. Blindly championing a user like this isn't really helping advance the User Advocate cause. — SevenSidedDie yesterday

Yes. Fuck.

I hate when people try to bend over backwards to help a use throwing a temper tantrum.

Not every new user is a special snowflake just waiting to be nurtured. Some users are just crap. No amount of helping is going to change that, because you can only help someone understand if they want to understand.

Drama Continues on Successfully Funded Ouya Game Gridiron Thunder

FEichinger

Why, yes, this is clearly a legitimate funding graph:

Just for comparison, this is Wasteland 2:

@FEichinger ಠ_ಠ

FEichinger

badp

@FEichinger pledges can be revoked right?

FEichinger

@badp Until the campaign ends, I believe.

badp

well yeah.

The chart's going to have a nice -100k$ bar at the end

FEichinger

@badp I doubt it.

There's basically three theories going about: a) It's the dev themselves (or people they know) that push it past the goal so they get the Ouya double-up. b) It's Ouya themselves boosting it so their programme (and the console) gets some coverage. ("Successfully funded Ouya game, wheeee!") c) It's actually trolls that won't pay up.

I'm torn between the first two. Could really be either.

Also: Random other projects that were funded with a moderately large goal:

The graph almost always looks like that, if you're looking at $50k+ funding goals.

7:25 PM

Is it just me or does the fact that a campaign called "Free the Games" requires games to be exclusive to a single console feel just a bit off?

FEichinger

@Yuki The Ouya in general leaves quite a bad taste.

badp

@FEichinger c. c. ccccccccccccccccccccc.

although they have to be pretty rich trolls

Yuki

I understand the reasons, but they could stand to do a much better job of naming the goddamn thing.

FEichinger

@badp I really, really doubt it. There seems to be no train of thought that leads to doing that.

badp

@FEichinger drama, delicious drama

OrigamiRobot

7:26 PM

Man, I am reading that Shelter is less than an hour long. :(

FEichinger

@badp Way too unpredictable. I doubt anyone expected that to become drama when they made that first jump pledge.

I really don't see why anyone would troll a random Kickstarter campaign like that.

badp

I really don't see why anyone would pledge 10k$ out of the blue

FEichinger

There was no big backlash against the Free The Games thing, there wasn't even that big a publicity for a lot of things that are now involved.

badp

and then 10k$ more

and then 25k$

this is ridicolously fishy

FEichinger

@badp It really depends on who you're suspecting. Trolls? Absolutely no reason. Ouya? Publicity. The devs? Ouya money.

For once, trolls really seem the ones with the least incentive to do this.

badp

7:30 PM

well, either it's troll fake pledges or actual fraud from the devs.

FEichinger

If the devs donate $10k, they get another $10k on top from Ouya.

If the Ouya crew donates $10k, they pay another $10k in turn for a project to put on the shelf of "totally great things we have exclusively!"

badp

why would ouya pay before and later?!

FEichinger

Because Free The Games.

badp

this is either trolling or fraud. avoid at all costs

@badp what you talking about?

sorry i dont understand

badp

@FEichinger has the full story

FEichinger

Why, kids, let me tell you a story. It's a tale of adventure, of intrigue, of money ...

No, not gonna happen. Long story short: Ouya has a project doubling up successful Kickstarter campaigns for Ouya exclusive games, some such campaigns have a suspicious backer list and funding graph, and people call shenanigans.

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot It's so pretty. And cute. :3 I feel okay with the $7 I spent on it, I think.

Huh, when did I close The Bridge tab?

badp

A year and a half ago or so

Powerlord

Only 25 people filled out my RUGC Midwest map purge survey.

badp

Welcome back

Powerlord

I know we have ore regulars than that.

Oh well, they have through Friday to fill it out.

Well, technically they have until I wake up Saturday and get around to viewing the results.

I need to decide what to do with ties, though.

@FEichinger hmmmm, so you think something "fishy" is going on?

@axrwkr Yes, very much.

Q: Terran Vs. Terran - BIO play

Even though I have hundreds of hours in StarCraft 2, there is still one returning issue that I find difficult to solve, even through replays and other VODs or streams. In Terran versus Terran, the outcome is often more tanks beats less tanks, or better tank micro beats more tanks. But the curren...

Q: META.INF and others folders for my Minecraft folder DELETED!

So what happened is I was deleting my META.INF folder for Minecraft to install a mod, but with META.INF I also deleted a bunch of other folders like my bin folder and other. Can someone tell me how to get my folders back? Would be much appreciated.

Q: In what circumstances is a calling card dropped on kill?

Since the major update that removed gameplay-altering item set bonuses, a calling card is now left behind "when a player is killed by another who is using a specific item set." This sounds simple enough, but are there any specifics, i.e., is a calling card dropped only when killing using a wea...
