@Sterno my first thought was to flag, but that wasn't me

Sterno

Well, if I get banned, time for lunch!

NOOOOOO STUCK FLAG COUNTER

it's 4pm!

it's not time for lunch

it's time for planning

@OrigamiRobot I always get that. Don't know how it happens

Is there a bug report for this?

fredley

Can't wait for November 23rd

Private Pansy

@kalina How long does a game usually last?

Michael Dunfield

Okay seriously, enough with the ponies please.

Or go make a pony chat or something.

fredley

@MichaelDunfield You go and make a non pony chat

Kevin van der Velden

@MichaelDunfield I'm surprised there isn't already a pony chat =/

Michael Dunfield

3:07 PM

@fredley Why should I have to do that? That's like asking non smokers to stand outside so the smokers can smoke inside.

Private Pansy

Has anyone ever subscribed to the RSS feed of a single blog post?

@MichaelDunfield Fun fact, that did indeed happen in Bavaria for a while.

Seems odd that most blogging platforms offer this, but somehow I've never seen it be used

Q: Chat prompts me to act on flagged messages, but there are no flagged messages to display

Recently I gained over 10,000 reputation network-wide. However, now when I am in The Comms Room I receive a notification that there are flags to act on, but when I click on it, there are no flagged messages. To be clear, I have had over 10,000 network-wide reputation for at least a couple of wee...

cc @OrigamiRobot supposedly marked as status-completed, but I still see it from time to time

Wipqozn

@StackExchange That's what you get for stealing @OrigamiRobot from us last night, @Fluttershy!

@LessPop_MoreFizz is a hero. Dealing out justice.

Kitty cats are so adorable.

kalina

3:16 PM

@StackExchange how rude, Fluttershy is one of the nicest people in here!

Wipqozn

@kalina Remember how he stole @OrigamiRobot from us last night?

kalina

@Wipqozn yes but as a result we rampaged through multiple heists and you nearly caught up with him level wise

Wipqozn

@kalina That's true.

Kevin van der Velden

Rats are more adorable

Fluttershy

@kalina :D <3

Kevin van der Velden

3:18 PM

(Not me or my rats, from reddit)

Wipqozn

:11158377 So we should post @Fluttershy pony pics?

Michael Dunfield

@Wipqozn No, I didn't say anything.

What are you talking about.

Wipqozn

I'd take a screenshot but I'm lazy.

fredley

We should post pony pics until @Fluttershy is re-instated as room owner. I'm sure that will work.

Wipqozn

We still have that picture of you shitting the bed.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

Wipqozn

I'd add @OrigamiRobot as room owner to spite @Fluttershy further but I'm afraid he'd just go mad with power again.

kalina

@Wipqozn this is a bad idea

fredley

@Wipqozn Robots do not respond well to power surges

kalina

it guarantees that at least one other current room owner will cease to be

probably the one who gave him power

Wipqozn

3:20 PM

Most likely.

oh my god someone said "that picture of me is from high school, so it is like a year old" and now I feel ancient

Michael Dunfield

@Wipqozn That made me laugh really hard so it's okay.

@MichaelDunfield really? That made you laugh?

Q: Which is the most efficient use of land, for a casual user, in Tapped Out?

Many of my friends are playing Tapped Out (a farmville-like game based on original content from the Simpsons' creators), and I've caved to peer pressure - I'm spending time playing it, too. I'm not an avid player of the game, though, more of a very casual one (so I won't log on every 12 or 8 or ...

@AshleyNunn I guess that's the feeling you have right before you buy in with micro-transactions. ;)

@kalina Fail

kalina

ooh, extra turn, $1.99, very reasonable

ooh, more carrots, $1.99, very reasonable

user15026

@RedRiderX Yeaaaaah

Private Pansy

@kalina Per kilogram? Seems more than reasonable price to me

Although I like reddish better

kalina

@PrivatePansy no, these are microtransaction prices, that's $1.99 for 3

Michael Dunfield

@kalina Best Value!

RedRiderX

3:31 PM

@AshleyNunn I think it's like $5 a month if you want a subscription.

And then there are other stories that you need some amount of premium currency to play...

user15026

Yeah....

RedRiderX

But you can do pretty much anything without it.

user15026

Yeah I figure I will leave it but I just enjoy the game a lot

kalina

congratulations on your purchase of Call of Duty 8, for $74.99 - pre-order now and get "The Ending" DLC for free (or $19.99 once the game is released) - contains the last level of the game and unlocks multiplayer!

somebody just sent me an email, telling me what their email address is

Michael Dunfield

@kalina Just making sure

Ben Brocka

I guess that's better than sending an email asking someone what their email is

Michael Dunfield

@BenBrocka Not if you're asking what their 'new' email is.

My favourite part was when Robb died because he did stupid things.

Similar to Ned.

Ned as such an idiot. The first book is basically him doing one dumb thing after another.

My favourite part was when Tyrion... existed

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn D:

I am hurt

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot The last time you were given ownership you removed all the owners.

Including me.

Ben Brocka

@MichaelDunfield PAypal already relented

They're still jerks for doing it though

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn Yea, but I said I was going to do that.

I'm not going to remove everyone again.

What the hell is the point of crowdfunding if they want to hold your money until the product is out? What are they, Ouya?

OrigamiRobot

That's old news.

@BenBrocka har har har

Also have any of you heard of this game? polygon.com/2013/9/10/4702940/…

Wipqozn

How the hell does PayPal get away with this stuff?

IT screams all kind of illegal.

Sterno

Turns out it was also time for lunch even if I didn't get banned.

user15026

@Wipqozn Monopoly on the system, I suppose

Ronan Forman

3:53 PM

Yeah, what grounds do they have to do this?

It's not their money.

Ben Brocka

@Wipqozn Because it's not real money! ...yet! I don't know, they get away with lots of shit I can't imagine a bank would get away with

Jason Berkan

That's because they are not a bank.

Ben Brocka

I don't even get what they think they have to gain by holding the money people voluntarily gave

Mad Scientist

@Wipqozn From what I've read, which was a while ago, they somehow manage to avoid being classified as a bank, so they can avoid a lot of regulation

user15026

@MadScientist Which is kinda horrifying f you think about it because banks are pretty tightly regulated and Paypal is a mess

Sterno

3:56 PM

If you're a developer and you're collecting funding via PayPal, it should be pretty obvious at this point that you're doing it wrong.

Michael Dunfield

They probably just want to make sure everything is absolutely correct before they start sending out hundreds of thousands of dollars from thousands of people.

Wipqozn

@MichaelDunfield You have too much faith in PayPal me thinks.

Michael Dunfield

I have too much faith in everything.

@Sterno Unless you're not US based.

What options are there then?

RedRiderX

3:58 PM

@Sterno Exactly.

Sterno

I don't understand why you consider that less of an option than going through a company who has proven time and again it might just keep your money and screw you over

ToxicFrog

@BenBrocka Their stated reason (at least last time they did this) is that if the developer doesn't deliver, the backers could then demand refunds from paypal, not the developer, and they want to make sure that doesn't happen
