I'm riding a bus!
 
I don't think I've ever hit the daily rep cap...
sad.
 
@GnomeSlice gaming.stackexchange.com/reputation ← the bottom of this page has your answer
 
@GnomeSlice even I have hit the daily cap.
 
@badp Is that a display of my activity?
 
@GnomeSlice yep.
 
12:08 AM
highest rep increase in a single day: 314
 
@badp Why does it show 1335 rep total, when I only have 1325?
 
@GnomeSlice That's your reputation recalculated on demand.
 
most rep missed on a single day: 100
 
If you had your rep recalculated now, it'd be 1335.
 
How often is it recalc'd?
@alexanderpas What do you mean?
 
12:09 AM
@GnomeSlice On demand or on rep rule change.
Most rep missed on a single day: 0
Take that!
 
Clearly I'm not as savvy as either of you two with this stuff.
@badp Wait, so you hit the cap every day?

Q: How do I audit my reputation?

Jeff AtwoodIf I am concerned that my reputation score is incorrect, how can I audit it, or get a report of a detailed breakdown of my reputation? Return to FAQ index

@GnomeSlice No. It means I never lost any rep to it.
 
@GnomeSlice rep I didn't get because I reached the limit
 
rep cap was reached via rep from upvotes *only* on 3 days
rep cap was exceeded on 5 days
 
** total rep 5415 :)

days represented 123
rep cap was reached via rep from upvotes *only* on 0 days
rep cap was exceeded on 2 days
 
12:12 AM
rep cap was exceeded on 0 days
 
** total rep 4976 :)

days represented 108
rep cap was reached via rep from upvotes *only* on 2 days
rep cap was exceeded on 4 days
 
What's the point of the second stat there?
 
-- 2010-10-20 rep +202
 
Upvotes only? Who cares.
 
12:13 AM
-- 2010-09-08 rep +105  = 1337
 
Sorry, my quasi-palindromy beats your 1337 :P
 
@badp Negative. Maybe if it was actual palindromy. But quasi doesn't cut it.
 
-- 2010-09-15 rep +5 = 3535
 
What is the daily rep cap, anyway? 100?
 
at least I have full repetition.
 
12:15 AM
200 rep from upvotes only.
 
...So you can get more if it's not from upvotes?
 
-- 2010-11-03 rep +314 = 4667
 
@GnomeSlice yep!
For example, bounties.
 
Oh right. I'd forgotten about those.
 
Accepted answers too.
 
12:16 AM
like I got. :D
 
 
But if you're awarded, say a +500 bounty, can you no longer get rep from upvotes? Or is the upvote limit always 200.
 
(My Gaming and MSO rep are still very close.)
 
@badp +1 for freehand not-quite-closed circle.
 
Today, MSO pulled ahead due to the question conveniently pinned →
 
12:18 AM
Heh. I can downvote you if you like... :P

Q: Which items are Missable or Limited in Quantity?

alexanderpasIn Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light one of the things availble to do is getting all items Which items have one of the following properties: Have a limited quantity or are unique. Stop being sold in the stores after a certain point. Are available multiple times, but only from limited source...

 
@badp What am I looking for here?
Has someone approved/nixed that suggestion?
I hope not actually. That ability could be severely abused.
 
12:24 AM
wasn't there a meta question to request the YT embedding as in that to spread to the SE sites. (like on top of the starred items list.)
 
@alexanderpas I probably will play it. But I haven't yet.
 
So, who wants a rep recalc?
 
@GnomeSlice No, just saying it was proposed before.
My static screenshot proposal so far received unanimous approval instead :)
 
I hear someone has 10 fewer reputation than they should. This is sinful and must be fixed.

A: Using 2 USB Microphones in SingStar

Jeff AtwoodI am finding conflicting information. On one hand..

Instead of the 2 separate mics on one ...

 
12:35 AM
Hm, no one's speaking up. Well, I've got to eat dinner. When I get back, if GnomeSlice doesn't confess to not getting what is deserved, I guess I'll just perform wide angle judgment on everyone to ensure I get the right target. ♪
 
can we do better?
 
I'd get 2 rep from a recalc... meh :)
 
@GraceNote I want a rep recalc when I reach 10K, not a single rep earlier!
 
@alexanderpas Why would the rep you're at matter for a recalc?
Also, why would we want a rep recalc other than to get the 2/5/10 rep we're missing from some oddity?
 
Because you have to fight for every last scrap of reputation to survive in this cruel meritocracy.
 
12:44 AM
Cruel? I'll talk to you about cruel. I had 73 consecutive days and then I got sick. I tried to log in every day, but every day isn't the same to the site as to me, (5pm is it?) and so I lost it. I started over. Its all gone now. No Achievement, no gold coin.
 
@WillfulWizard how about 52? that's why i want it on 10K :D
 
But seriously, just include relevant screenshots in your answers. Way more rep than asking for a silly recount.
Oh... different responce.
52 rep might be worth it.
 
I want to work for every rep I get. and when I finally reach 10K, the universe can fix itself.
 
Wow, everyone here actually gains reputation from recalc? I'm not quite sure what that indicates...
 
@GraceNote Wait what?
How often is rep recalculated?
 
12:50 AM
@GnomeSlice only when you ask a mod, or it happens globally.
 
@GnomeSlice Automated recalc only happens when you are involving in vote fraud (receiving end counts as being involved, even if involuntary)
Past that, it is only done by asking a moderator.
 
It's not recalculated every time you gain rep?
 
There's a denormalization on the displayed reputation score
 
@GnomeSlice that would strain the database too much.
 
Well, obviously it has to recalculate your score though. Oh, are we talking a FULL recount, from 0 up?
 
12:51 AM
It generally is accurate, but it desyncs when questions are deleted, migrated, and other such. You need a reputation recalc to fix it.
@GnomeSlice A "reputation recalc" refers to making your reputation score the correct calculated value, as opposed to the denormalized value shown visibly on the site.
You see what this value is at the /reputation page. In your case, your actual reputation is 10 points higher than your displayed.
 
But I mean, every time you gain any rep, something had to be recalculated. When you get a "rep recalc" done, is it recounted from the beginning up?
 
That's pretty much the concept in a nutshell, yeah.
 
To make sure nothing is missed? I assume that when you gain standard rep, it's simply added to your existing value.
Bah, I'm only out 10 rep, no biggie.
 
Standard reputation changes the existing value, correct. Recalc, as the name implies, recalculates it all.
 
A winrar is me!
I figured some simple technical doohickey out all by myselfs!
 
12:55 AM
normal rep = update user where user.rep = user.rep + 10
 
@GraceNote It indicates that we downvote a lot of stuff that ends up being deleted?
 
So, will you confess and repent, to face judgment?
 
When I die, I want it to be by eating this:
BACON FORTRESS.
 
@GraceNote postponed.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That... happens somewhat often, but not that often. Oak's very good at deleting posts before anyone spots them.

@GnomeSlice what?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I guess not. Jones came out with Bacon soda for a limited time.

@GnomeSlice Yea, that's not what the youtube link is.
 
@alexanderpas Neh, I"m mostly targetting Gnome. Or anyone. I haven't gotten to do a recalc on anyone in ages.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh wow, didn't even see the player, I thought it was an image. :P
 
@GnomeSlice the youtube link is to the most bacon-laden booze-soaked breakfast I have ever seen.
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah, I've heard of it, was just confused as to the relevance for a second
 
@GraceNote If you want to go for it, it's not really a big deal.

How does rep get missed?
 
@GnomeSlice Hee~ Thanks, you get 100 bonus points for that. ♪
 
o.o I'm glad to see this excites you.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz that's no calories bomb, it's a friggin nuke!
 
@GnomeSlice Primarily from post deletions.
 
@alexanderpas Like I said, when it's my time to die, I want that to be how.
 
1:02 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz good luck eating all of it.
 
@GraceNote But once a post is deleted, why should that affect your rep?
 
@alexanderpas Who cares, the point is that it's going to kill me!
and every last deadly bite will be delicious.
 
@GnomeSlice Because deleted posts do not confer or remove reputation
 
@GraceNote Wouldn't that only affect you if your vote was the one that caused something to be deleted, then?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz or at least make you very drunk ;)

Chocolate Chip Bacon Beer Waffles?
 
@GnomeSlice About the only thing that sounds better than that is covering said chocolate chip bacon beer waffles in peanut butter.
 
@GnomeSlice If this post were to get deleted, you'd be short 7 upvotes. Or 70 reputation.
But deletion doesn't affect your denormalized reputation as shown on the site. So you'd need a reputation recalc to officially lose that 70.
 
@GraceNote Then how do I get short 10 rep?
 
@Gnomes strangles
 
1:06 AM
@GnomeSlice deleted downvotes.
 
@Mana You should strangle alexanderpas. Purple's got 52 reputation waiting on recalc.
 
You mean, 5 posts that I've downvoted have been deleted?
 
I strangle everybody sooner or later.
 
@GnomeSlice As deleted posts do not convey reputation, so too don't they remove reputation. So it can generally be one of two things. Deletion of posts of yours that were downvoted, or deletion of posts that you yourself downloaded.
 
@GraceNote I don't think any posts of mine have been deleted.

I don't dislike hearts. I just don't have the ALT code for a heart memorized
 
yeah, that's fair
 
1:10 AM
@GnomeSlice I can tell you that 6 of them were probably from this fellow.
It is then reasonable that you might've downvoted 4 posts that eventually got deleted, totaling to 10.
 
Which one of those fellows is this fellow?
oh
 
@Mana It's a deleted post, only Gnome can see it.
 
nvm, it just clicked with me that this fellow is in fact an answer
or question
 
Why did I delete that?
Oh right. I was bloody wrong.

@GnomeSlice there don't have to be for 9999 to be used.

After that, it stops changing.

Alexender's game.
 
@Mana (sp?)

Ender's Game (1985) is a science fiction novel by American author Orson Scott Card. The book originated as the short story "Ender's Game", published in the August 1977 issue of Analog Science Fiction and Fact. Elaborating on characters and plot lines depicted in the novel, Card later wrote additional books to form the Ender's Game series. Card released an updated version of Ender's Game in 1991, changing some political facts to accurately reflect the times. Set in Earth's future, the novel presents an imperiled humankind who have barely survived two conflicts with the Formics (an insecto...

What should we do about the [iphone] [ipod-touch] and [ipad] tags?
I mean, most games out for one are available for all three.
Should we just congeal them into an [idevice] tag?
 
@GnomeSlice But are they always?
 
@GraceNote > in cases where it's not, you could use the more specific one.
But in general, that takes up 3 of your 5 tags.
Having one for each.
 
I guess it mostly falls under the same practice as we do for all other cross-platform situations
 
Which is?
 
1:41 AM
@Gnomes Yeah, Homestuck update with 14 pages today.
 
I suppose I never really thought about that actually. I've just been tagging games on the platform I play them on.
Oops.
 
No need for oops
 
@Mana I never started homestuck, never even finished Problem Sleuth. Don't have the time to invest in it.
 
Platform tags are largely falling out of disuse when it isn't referring to a specific platform version. That doesn't mean you shouldn't use them, but if you find yourself at odds with how to tag it, you can simply choose to just skip the platform tag.
 
hmmm, I wonder if it's possible to start Homestuck from the middle and not be completely lost
 
1:42 AM
Considering we have over 500 starcraft-2 questions, yet none have platform tags.

Q: FUEL: Issues on PS3?

GnomeSliceI own the Xbox 360 port of FUEL, and have never had any problems with it. However, someone else in my family owns the PS3 version of the game, and has had various issues with running the game. I find it odd that this version of the game would have these issues, considering it was originally dev...

What about questions such as this? Where the platform's involvement is part of the question?
 
That's an example of a very necessary platform tag
 
@GnomeSlice [ios]?
 
It's referring to a specific platform version, which is not where they are falling into disuse.
 
1:45 AM
@GraceNote But the involvement of the platform is up in the air, in that question.
FUEL is cross platform on PC and xBox 360 as well.
 
@GnomeSlice As far as you, the question asker, know, it's exclusive to the PS3 version.
 
I suppose Platform tags really aren't particularly useful when joined with a game.
 
The answer might not be that it's a PS3 exclusive problem
But you're asking if it might be a PS3 exclusive problem. Doesn't preclude you from getting an answer which reveals it isn't, nor should the tag.
 
I think I will stop putting platform tags on generalized questions, though.
 
@GnomeSlice If we, say, had the platform data associated with the game tag, that'd be one thing. But at a 5 tag limit we can't really afford to categorize the game, the genre, and the platform. As the former is the most useful in terms of categorizing the actual question, we just stick with that.
 
1:48 AM
@GraceNote That's funny, I always thought those were the three things we should have been tagging.
 
@GnomeSlice The issue is that (most) games only have one name. They can, however, fit into any number of genres and be released on any number of platforms.
 
As I said before, 'now that I think about it'...
 
It's your choice. I don't personally see the harm in adding the platform or genre when you post generalized game questions
If you have the room, that is.
 
@GnomeSlice we wish we could, but genre is subjective sometimes (deus ex?) and with multi-platform game... let's not get started
 
@GraceNote But the conundrum becomes, which platform do you use?
 
1:51 AM
@GnomeSlice Flipping coins has never failed me.

@alexanderpas For 3 choices, easier to use a D6
Alternately, D4 and reroll 4
 
I'll just start putting [gaming] I think. That pretty much covers everything.

Posted by Jeff Atwood on December 2nd, 2010

Back in July, we appointed Moderators Pro Tempore for the nascent Stack Exchange 2.0 communities. Leadership is critical to any community’s success, and the bootstrapping of a community often requires leaders to be appointed before the community is large enough or organized enough to elect them itself.

Our fellow Pro Tempore moderators have been instrumental in keeping their communities tidy and on track. Now that the earliest Stack Exchange 2.0 sites have been fully public for over 60 days, we believe at least some of the communities are now ready to take the last important step towards self governance — by electing their own moderators. As we’ve said from the very first days of the Stack Overflow beta: …

@IvoFlipse True, though that Grace fella frea---
oh hi @Grace :D
 
well all I want my mod abilities for is helping out with cleaning up and possibly editing, I'll get the tools eventually, it's just annoying not being able to do anything

@Oak or other mods / Regarding the game-rec voting question: Is there a way to allow the people suggesting the answers to also vote on them? If I propose a solution now, I also can't vote for what I proposed.
 
You can't vote on your own answer, so I don't think it will be an issue, iwll it?

@Fabian Everybody who posts something supports it.
Thus, all answers start with 1 implicit upvote :)
Thus, not having this upvote doesn't change anything (so long as you restrain yourself on using plus and minus).

Q: How to win decisive victories in Commander : Conquest of the Americas

Johan BuretI've benne playing Conquest of the Americas for a week. I've got the trade part OK, but for war So far, I've only be able to sink combat ships, the trade ships always escape. It just annoys the opponent without giving them the killing blow to their trade. How do I kill those unarmed caravels. W...

Q: Banding question for Magic The Gathering (Duels of the Planeswalkers)

MkavaI've noticed an issue with banding while playing the MTG:Duels of the Planeswalkers recently. It seems that every creature possesses the ability to perform banding when blocking. This keyword was used in the card game, and has since been depreciated, and does not appear to be included in any mode...

@Fabian like @badp said, posting an idea is an implicit upvote - so basically all ideas start with 1 upvote, so it's meaningless to count it. Just make sure you don't propose an idea you disagree with, as that means you basically upvoted that idea.

Q: Graphical error with featured bar?

Raven Dreamer Is the white space supposed to be there? I think it looks a little odd, and should span the entire width of the site. Am I the only one getting this?

 
Ugh, Grace Note makes an excellent point. What do we do in the case of a tie? (On the game-rec question). And it's not really cool to make additions to the agreed-upon-system when voting is already in progress...
 
In case of a tie GROUP HUG.
Now you don't want an awkward group hug do you? :P

Q: Please add a :hover rule for #system-message a

badpCurrently, the entire system message is a link. As a result, it doesn't appear like there is a link in the first place. The fact that the link doesn't react on hover doesn't help. Would it be possible to add an on-hover effect for that link?

Goddamnit, why can't I downvote comments.

@sjohnston: Yeah, I just read Grace's comment as well... We've got a (I assume) time limit for the question, so potentially an extension if there's a tie? Not sure what @Oak has in mind.
...
Wow is that comment offensive.
 
that makes me want to punch someone
although maybe that's just because I downed a double espresso and also want to do a lap around my building

I flagged it, personally.
Wow, the word "discernment" on the font/resolution size I have on Meta completely threw me for a sec, as the r and n blended together.

Q: StarCraft2: maps for placement matches

BuddaDo maps for placement matches contain barriers that prevent rush?

Q: StarCraft2: What is any good Terran tactic to play on maps that prevent early rush?

BuddaWhat is any good Terran tactic to play on maps that prevent early rush? Important thing is intelligence... should I spent minerals to improve command center for that? Or it is better to build Barrack to fly around for that purpose?

 
@FallenAngelEyes Yeah, I waited a few minutes to cool off before writing a response to him. Hopefully whatever mod sees your flag deletes both.

Huh, wonder why I didn't get Tumbleweed for this question

Q: Will save data for the EU versions of Rock Band 1/2/3 load on the American versions?

FallenAngelEyesI live in the EU, own a European Xbox 360, and the EU versions of Rock Band 1, 2, and 3. I am going on a trip to the US in a couple of weeks and will be visiting some friends of mine who own a North American 360 and NA version of Rock Band. I know that I can recover my gamertag on their system to...

Only comment it received was posted yesterday
 
Upvotes.
I find it notable that those that are opposed to game rec are the ones that have paid attention to the 'downvotes are irrelevant' portion of this discussion. Or rather, that only a select few of those in favor have not.
 
and looks like that comment was deleted, woo
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz They aren't

Q: Help ID old APPLE II game with a chopper dropping off soldiers as your army tries to get to other side

GeeI remember playing this game in the early 80's on my 2e. THere was a chopper and you would send out tanks and jeeps that would ride along on the bottom of the screen and try to get to the "other side" it would scroll along so it was a long distance. You in your chopper would be busy dropping off ...

 
It's notable that those that oppose it are the more experienced users ;-)
 
Experience doesn't count really.
 
@IvoFlipse That was what I was pointing at really.

Q: How do I help organize my town in die2nite?

NickSince we've started work on a proper build order, I figure it's time to tackle the more difficult half of the problem: humans. Most towns run on some sort of ad-hoc system where 2 or 3 people who think they know the system tell people "Build x now!". This is clearly a suboptimal strategy since i...

@Feeds That looks like the kind of question we have on RPG

Q: Can I copy an Xbox Live profile from one USB stick to another?

Ben HymersI have two Xbox 360s (work and home), each of which I want to use on Xbox Live using the same profile. I will not ever have both connected at the same time. I am aware I can move my profile from the console that currently stores it, on to one USB stick, but this is inconvenient to me as I don't w...

Q: What's the best way to save your workers from hellion harass?

EmmettI usually select all my workers and right-click around my base, trying to run them away from the hellions. The problem with this is that they tend to get clumped up, occasionally getting pwned by hellion flames. What is the optimal strategy for saving your workers?
