I read, play older offline games (like Exile.Avernum series, Battle middle earth, darklord rising) or go outside to look at the yellow thing. -
I've seen MA edition in most EB games here. Not sure if you have that franchise in NZ.

Are you saying level pacts break if one account is closed? Cause I just let one of them expire and really wanted to keep that level pact....

Quote:This is great idea, I normally make sure team mates know I'm looking for more so they know not to jump in missions etc. But the binocops would work really well.Originally Posted by RobertoLyon
I have a suggestion for this specifically - I have a macro that sometimes gets a few LOLs but always helps keep the A.D.D. players from A-FREEEKIN' OUT while I look for more teammates...
/macro LF "say, Looking for more...$$emote Binoculars"
I find that while the binocs are out, players are much less likely to get antsy, as they know you are working to make the mission more fun/rewarding.
If they see you just standing there while you're looking - they don't know if you're AFK, chatting with friends, picking your nose, whatever.

Yup, check which posts are getting -rep'd.
You shouldnt be able to rep the same post more than once. Not quite the same as spreading rep around.
So your possible harrasser would need to be repping oither people inbetween repping different posts by you. -
Quote:You're aware though that you cant give rep more than once for a single post?Originally Posted by Impish Kat
But it doesn't stay closed.
I close all my options (subscriptions, mail, etc.,.) down everytime I log off, and when I log back on, they are almost always re-opened... and not just because there's something new in them.
And here's a question: Would it be considered harassment if you suspect the same person of neg'ing you for the same post over and over again?... even if the comment isn't necessarily "out of line"?
I'm getting hit by someone with a very high rep value, I suspect I know who it is, and I find it very rude. Once is enough, you've made your point, move on.
I suspect you're saying that you think the same person is -reping all your posts?
If it is the same person, a mod might be able to assist. -

Quote:Most of the time in my opinion, and espically for lvl 50 rechargers, is that any value for 'salting' the numbers wanting, isnt worth what you could be making using that transaction slot for something else.Originally Posted by GATE-keeper
No, this isn't a screenshot of how much Inf I have.
Let's suppose for the sake of argument that I am working on the Sharpshooter badge and have just created 5 level 50 Recharge IO's.
Let's say I go to sell them on the Market and notice that there are 9 bidding and 5 others for sale.
Now the Law of Supply and Demand says that if the Demand (ie number bidding) is higher than the supply (ie number for sale) then I should be able to charge a higher than normal price.
But if I put my 5 Enhancements on the market, then the supply will be now be higher than the demand, so I risk having to sell at a lower than premium price.
(Now here's where I might be getting ebil.) However, if I make 5 other bids - at say 1 Inf, so there's no chance of me actually buying anything - I can artificially increase the apparent demand, therefore hoping that I can charge a premium price. (On the assumption that buyers will see that Demand is higher than Supply and will therefore - hopefully - be more willing to pay a higher price.)
Is this ebil?
Illegal?
Immoral?
Against the game rules?
>.>
<.<
Have you ever done it?
(No, I have never done this. Stick a needle in my eye and all that. But what I have done is, if I had a lot of a particular thing to sell, is put one thing at a time on the market, then just watch until it sold, then add another, watch until it sold......etc.)
More often going to happen for recipes than crafted generic IOs.
It is slightly ebil, not against the rules, totally not illegal, and the morality is up for you to decide yourself. -

I just called my Futureshop and asked them how much a 20 GB Hard drive weighed when it was full with information, compared to when it was empty.
The guy that was on the phone told me that it was only a few pounds difference. And that's why I don't shop at futureshop.

Quote:Presents as wingdings to my screenOriginally Posted by Master-Blade
Same here. Looking at his code, he's certainly using wingdings, but it seems the forum (or something else) is defaulting it to something readable.
If it follows normal web thingy standards, it should go to next font on list if you dont have wingdings installed.
Of course scripts, add ons and non windoze computers could change it to just about anything; I guess I just shouldnt write in wing dings :|
(and quoting shows the text in clear for those that do see the wingding) -

Some great advice above.
Another option for bit down the track is to start your own solo super group base. Then you can put in salavg/enhancement storage.
Or join a SG with them.
I go with the seel stuff at high prices, buy low when i think i will need it. -

Gamestop is selling the GvE edition for $10.
What's weird is that when I applied the Mission Architect box's code to my account for the Cyborg booster I also ended up with the GvE stuff on one of my characters. I /bugged it.
I can use the costumes on that character, and for like half an hour I also had the PD teleporter & jump pack. I still have the badge, too. -

The GM will often present you with obvious, obtainable goals. Under no circumstances should you attempt to complete these goals. He's planned ahead, and he knows you're coming. Make every effort to be as random and as unpredictable as possible. The relentless chaos will ensure that the GM is just as in the dark as you are.
And then, it's just you vs. the dice. -thekidxii
