Paid staff shouldn't participate in competitions · · 27 likes

Bogie is paid and submitted a picture for the competition. I believe it was done out of fun, not as an attempt to take a prize from a player. Sometimes people just need to relax and stop finding things to worry about.

How frequent do you think ticks should be in Elim? · · 26 likes

I would like it if it were once every 15 minutes, but the exact tick was random for each interval. It would stop the last second push that is so exhausting and require continual effort from the teams, either on top or on bottom. Maybe this is a bad idea, but it might be fun.

Adding non-binary as a gender option · · 13 likes

No, we shouldn't accept all people "just the way they are". We as a society have chosen some ways as "bad" and others as "good". What you're asking for is downright dangerous and disgusting. There is a simultaneous movement going on as we speak to accept paedophilia because those poor people were born that way. See, they love those kids and can't help themselves. I'm not being sarcastic, legitimate opinion pieces are popping up in legitimate mainstream newspapers. There are many examples of societally deviant behaviour being pushed by the mainstream as ok using this argument that we should accept all people, that we need to love everyone. Should we accept non-binary people? Probably. Should we accept everyone? Not if you have any functioning brain cells.

Lines need to be drawn because the damn slope isn't slippery, it's actually a cliff. I'm guessing we as a society are playing pretty much on the edge of that cliff while some argue we've already fallen off. Your statements are from the naive who believe the cliff doesn't exist.

Besides, all this "discussion" is only opinion based on people's feelings and has been extremely lacking of any peer reviewed data driven papers. Real studies have been done, but none have been referenced here and I find it eye opening. Why is that? There hasn't even been a reference to the DSM, again very weird. I think a few articles were linked 30 pages ago from biased sources claiming to be scientific, but they didn't even post their sampling methodologies. I guess people's feelings are all that matter anymore, real science is meaningless. What a "progressive" time we live in.

I'll go back to lurking, unfortunately naive statements trigger me.

Is Justice really being served in torn? · · 13 likes

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I've understood that I can attack staff all I want in the game player to player. It's only against the rules if I attack staff due to them executing staff duties. So attacking them because their face is ugly is ok, attacking them because they graved your thread for being crap is not ok.

Is that about right?

how to stop bullying ? · · 9 likes

So you taunted him, and then are upset he responded? Sounds like you're an ass hole and are upset another ass hole is being an ass hole in a different way. Maybe, just maybe, you should apologize to the guy you intentionally offended or you can live with the consequences of taunting people.

Couldn’t you just send the supplies directly to the person you wanted to use them? If you’re taking the time to designate specific supplies for say a happy jump to a specific player, you could just as easily send them to said player.

Ched has shot this down even though it’s been suggested at least a dozen times over the last few years. A basic search will turn up one of the other threads where people have explained Cheds reasoning.

Scummy Noobs and 'freedom of speech' · · 3 likes

You do know you don’t have to read their trash posts, right? As soon as you realize it’s another edge-lord, stop reading. You can even add the script that removes their posts. You have the power to solve this problem for yourself without forcing it on every other person. And seriously, if trash posts upset your mental health then you really need to take a break from the internet and go smell some grass.

You can already continue doing the crime after maxing the skill for as long as you want, nothing is stopping you. Keep doing your favorite crime forever and allow the rest of us to move on with our lives.

[103R+] Passive Income Increase ·

Has everyone missed the multiple times Ched has said only a certain amount of money will be injected into the economy? So if you want more money from one source, another will be reduced by a corresponding amount. Passive income can be increased, but then maybe company income is reduced so we are all still at the same place. Or maybe the bank is changed to a $50B cap, but now at a .1% APY. We may disagree with Ched on how he chooses to distribute the money injection, but I’m guessing we all agree there needs to be some sort of limit.

Remove fedded player blacklist/friendlist addition ·

If a player sets you as an enemy and then blocks you, you’re still unable to talk to them to try and make them change their mind. Any attempt would violate the rules. No matter how this can sliced, you will be unable to clear your enemy list. I would say you should make more friends to skew the ratio, you will probably have better luck. I’ll toss you an R+ and a good luck for your venture.

Chess bookies ·

I’m amazed that someone follows chess tournaments closely enough that they want to bet on them. Maybe I’m wrong, but if you watch a chess match and think to yourself “boy do I wish I could bet on this”, you should probably consider calling one of those gambling addiction hotlines.

Change how FHCs and daily refills work · · 2 likes

These types of complaints were the basis for introducing the low E cans like the 5 & 10, so people wouldn’t “waste” E at the dump or otherwise. If there’s already a simple solution to not wasting, then the only benefit is really being able to use refills for stacking. Is that desirable gameplay? I would never use it personally because 4xXanax is a perfect 1000 and I don’t want to waste any E during a stack.

So we need a fix to prevent you from violating the rules and creating multis and then going on an enemy rampage? This isn’t exactly a compelling argument.

Revivers for Treats - Halloween · · 1 like

Not every event needs to include accommodation for every play style. I think it’s fine that Halloween is an attacking event and other events the revivers can make their money. We all know the only winner from territory wars is already the revivers so this one is for the attackers.

What did you do to get on Someone’s radar? I’m guessing there’s a story here and I wanna hear it.

How do you get around Chat 2.0? · · 7 likes

Embrace the new chat that doesn’t show up at all! Yes, people should bitch less. But you’re completely invalidating a legitimate issue. It’s not about chat features being mediocre or buggy, it’s the fact that it’s completely disabled for many users. How long would be an acceptable waiting period for chat to completely not work before you would allow people to be unhappy?

edit: supposed to be a quote reply to Fumblebran, it didn’t quote for some reason.

No chat available at all - just notes ·

Clearing cache and restarting browser will fix issue for awhile, but I will lose chat again during normal gameplay. I haven’t found a repeatable navigation flow that makes it vanish. In-private always seems to work but I haven’t used it for gameplay so unable to confirm if the same issue will occur there.

This didn’t work the first time I tried it even though the chat bars showed on my safari and chrome browsers on my iPhone. I tried again but I restarted my phone after clearing cache and now it works. I even re-enabled the name highlights and it’s still working. Maybe it will work for a few others as well.

I’m having the same issue. I couldn’t find a setting to activate/deactivate it. Hoping it’s a quick fix.
