No status tag love for this chat room :-(

I'd go and remove the tag everywhere, but it's the sort of obsessive compulsive behaviour that's bad for me.

fredley

@TZHX There should be a daily edit-cap to match the rep-cap

I wonder if this works in here yet

TZHX

@fredley I've kindof lost faith in the whole reputation thing.

or interest, I suppose, rather than faith.

fredley

@TZHX Yeh. I'm quite apathetic.

If I get another few hundred rep, I'll be able to (gasp) protect questions!

Such fun! Such profit!

@TZHX I would spoil the ending for you, but EA already did that

I co-own a 40 slot server that has an average of 12 people online. We want it it be fairly full(30/40?) most of the time. Almost everyone who gives the server a chance loves it but all of the forum topics never got bumped. Any ideas? Thank you very much.

@TZHX I think while @GnomeSlice is here there need to be more pony gifs in chat

@fredley I think we should stop intentionally trolling @GnomeSlice.

@tiddy any?

fredley

@StrixVaria He should stop trolling himself

@StrixVaria Nevermind, I shouldn't have said that. It's too early. It's probably not him.

@OrigamiRobot That's... weird... Also, I was so tired last night I went to bed without saying another message in here, sorry! :(

@fredley If you seriously believe that you are just as much part of the problem as he is.

@StrixVaria Fair enough!

@tiddy you call me out, then ignore my response to you.

@StrixVaria I just defined the actual 'question' part of it a little better.

Mana

@GnomeSlice YES.

FAE

1:41 PM

@Mana Eh, lots of lows lately. Been having some personal probs, and Jochem's dad had a heart attack last week. He's out of the hospital now though, came home yesterday.

GnomeSlice

@FAE That's good to hear. =] That he recovered, I mean.

OrigamiRobot

@FAE Yay!

To the last part...

Thanks guys

I don't assume enough bad faith to think either of you would actually "yay" at someone having a heart attack. >_>

Now that actual Gaming chat takes place elsewhere, is this room just for discussion of G.SE policy/users?

Mana

1:45 PM

@fredley It's uhm. For...uh...

GnomeSlice

@fredley I think the other room is for in-depth discussion.

Maybe.

Sterno

@fredley Because one dude made a new room, suddenly we can't talk games in here?

fredley

@Sterno Correct

Mana

I'm pretty sure we can talk about games here still.

Sterno

I disagree with that assertion!

tiddy

1:46 PM

Huh

TZHX

@fredley no, I think games are still on topic here.

Mana

Just, you know, if you want game discussion and nothing but game discussion

fredley

Games are off-topic in this chat room

@Sterno I do not agree with your things.... your... saying things...

@FAE I clarified mostly for the sake of the transcript. :P

GnomeSlice

@fredley And ponies.

OrigamiRobot

@fredley What about Bridge?

TZHX

@fredley but what type of bridge? the beam bridge seems to be the bridge spanner.

FAE

@Sterno I have enough rooms faved, I don't see a lot of use in moving discussion of the heart of our website to somewhere else.

Do we permit questions about games which can be defined as video games in the technical sense of the world, but that serve as a true-to-source emulation of real-life games? And if we do permit them, under what conditions? For instance: Any video-game implementation of Chess, Checkers, Go etc. ...

Why did we split the room up?

user30

See above

Wipqozn

1:53 PM

@tiddy ah, yeah. That's a good idea.

TZHX

@Wipqozn to have a room where people can just talk about gaming, and not deal with the g.se stuff.

user30

I shall continue to discuss games in here with no regard to other rooms.

TZHX

+1 to Thomas.

fredley

@ThomasMcDonald This day shall go down in History as the great G.SE divide

Wipqozn

@ThomasMcDonald Well if I understood him correctly he just meant that if people are into some super deep policy discussion, you can jump on over to the other bridge to discuss games instead of breaking up the flow of either conversation.

user30

1:55 PM

@Wipqozn meh. I talk over people all the time.

user30

:)

fredley

...that started the War

FAE

@Wipqozn This is why we have the reply system though, so you people can have multiple conversations at once.

TZHX

I think chat can support multiple conversations at once.

FAE

Gaming.SE, so bad at consensus, we even need 2 rooms to talk about gaming. :(

StrixVaria

1:56 PM

I'm not viewing the other room as a mandatory place to go to discuss gaming.

I think it's a good idea anyway as a place where you don't have to see all the argumentation that goes on in this room if you want to discuss gaming.

Wipqozn

@FAE Oh I'm aware, and I'll probably never use the other room, but I think it's a good idea. When we discuss policy we tend to flood this room with policy messages, and I imagine it can be difficult for multiple people to have a conversation with each other without pinging everyone involved. So it's just a good way to filter out the conversation you're not listening to.

OrigamiRobot

@FAE The Butthurtless Bridge :P

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria Yeah, exactly.

Mana

@ThomasMcDonald SO BRAVE.

fredley

I'm waiting to see how long it takes for the other room to descend into a clone of this one, but with more of a feeling of superiority amongst its clientèle.

@GnomeSlice thanks! Too bad that webside requires me to register an account to answer it :P

Tweeted by tametick on April 11, 2012 at 2:03 PM in reply to GnomeSlice

Speaking of Instagram, apparently millions of users deleted the app when facebook bought it.

fredley

@Wipqozn I told my housemate what it was yesterday, and gave him a demo. Then I told him it was worth a billion dollars. He got quite angry.

Wipqozn

@fredley I am now too.

I should have invented that..

fredley

@Wipqozn Note that the valuation of the New York Times stands at around $950m

Tim Stone

@GnomeSlice Err, he doesn't have to register...

fredley

And that Instagram makes literally $0

@GnomeSlice Nice try though gnome.

TZHX

I mean, fb didn't spend cash, they created stock.

@GnomeSlice I mean, he can even answer anony...what @Mana said.

Q: What are Coins For?

I've noticed that whenever I pick up a weapon in Cardinal Quest, the game compares it to my current one and if one of them is better, the lower quality one is 'sold'. When this happens, I get a coin. What can I do with these coins? As far as I know, there's no in-game shop. Can you actually...

@Sterno Only if you acknowledge that the other room exists. Let's all cover our eyes and type "lalalalala" instead.

fredley

@Sterno We're keeping all the pro on this side of the divide

tiddy

Ill talk about games all day in here

But when it shifts to policy or users i'd rather not get involved

thats all

user30

lol I died.

GnomeSlice

Maybe instead of a 'game chat room' we should have made a 'site policy and arguments' chat room?

Wipqozn

2:16 PM

@GnomeSlice I think you're missing the point.

TZHX

I think everything should be discussed in here.

StrixVaria

I think splitting site policy and arguments from game discussion is the best idea ever.

I would support a mandatory split.

Where we're not even allowed to discuss gaming in one of the rooms.

They are two utterly unrelated topics.

TZHX

but they're linked by the userbase.

FAE

@StrixVaria But we're all here because we like games and the site...

StrixVaria

Not all of the userbase is interested in both topics.

TZHX

2:18 PM

so people will inevitably favour one or the other.

and both will suffer for it.

user30

@StrixVaria ಠ_ಠ

Mana

I think the ability to discuss games is what's important in keeping the chat interesting so that when the site policy discussion does come up people are around to take part in it.

GnomeSlice

I'm resisting the urge to spam new chatrooms for entertainment value.

Mana

@GnomeSlice GOOD.

so cool.

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria I have an even better idea! Let's create a room for every possible topic someone could discuss. Sile policy, general gaming, specific games, my little pony, @mana, the titanic, swiss cheese, marble cheese...

TZHX

2:20 PM

I haven't played for a while, so can't remember the key combos.

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria I would support a separate Policy Discussion chat room for when things get heated in here, but the other way around seems silly.

Mana

@Wipqozn You know, I would be perfectly okay with a Mana chatroom.

TZHX

and we also need a separate room for discussing how to organise the chats

as that's distinct from the site policy.

GnomeSlice

Urgh, chat is doing that re-pinging thing again.

Wipqozn

Switch to a different browser gnome, see if that fixes it.

lolol wrong application

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot That's fine. I didn't say this has to be the policy discussion room. I just think the rooms should be separate.

Okay, so I'm going to buy a new screen recording tool, is the general consensus here to get FRAPS?

@fredley I think you can, with certain people.

I haven't really got very far at all ever.

GnomeSlice

I think when you buy MtG cards, they should come with a game you can play online with other people, and a code/disc with the cards you purchased on it.

Or something.

FAE

@GnomeSlice Will never ever ever ever happen, unfortunately.

TZHX

@GnomeSlice don't think that'll ever happen.

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice MTG:O is a thing

GnomeSlice

2:32 PM

@FAE Oh, no kidding.

FAE

It'd kill their monetization of MTGO.

GnomeSlice

I wasn't hoping for it, just said it'd be nice.

FAE

Yeah, I wish they'd do something like that too. I have a lot of MTGO cards.

GnomeSlice

The one thing I never really liked about MtG is that to be a really good player, you seem to have to have a massive knowledge of all of the cards, expansions, decks, etc.

Arda Xi

@GnomeSlice Yeah, same here.

GnomeSlice

2:33 PM

I could never really get into it that in-depth, since I have no one to play with.

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice It's kind of like most competitive video games!
