I tell him to leave me alone or I’m going to wipe him out. (Top ranked player vs. some tiny bug).
He accuses me of “picking on the small guys instead of real opposition”…
I tell him again, explicitly, that it was him that started attacking me and I’m just issuing a warning.
Next up he tells me that “I just make players quit and this is an alpha and in the long run this game will not survive.”
What. The. ■■■■. is wrong with people? How mentally ■■■■■■ up do you have to be to attack a player that can wipe you with so much as a finger, then cry about getting a verbal response and accuse him of getting players to ragequit and literally destroying a game that is 100% about strategic PvP?
IT WAS YOUR ■■■■■■■ CHOICE TO ATTACK ME, MORON. DEAL WITH THE ■■■■■■■ CONSEQUENCES.
Do you have it? No? Then go buy it NOW! The U-Have Token is the proof that you have it! Don’t be a nolifer without it!
U-Have Token! Prove you have it!
It would be a cryptographically protected token displaying a carefully developed image with the message “U have it!”, which then could be shared on social media. The image would trigger satisfaction to the owner and envy from other non-owners. Custom U-Have Tokens with different font types and colors could be bought with a premium fee. Suggested retail price it’s 4.95 $ for the U-Have application and 2.95 $ for each token. On a second wave, branded tokens (Love token, Sex Appeal token, et cetera) would be marketed. The “U-Have all Tokens” token would be sold only to participants with all tokens, and the final estimate cost of a full collection of tokens would be 250 to 300 $.
I’m certain it would work with the appropiate design and financing. If someone out there does it and rakes millions, this message is proof that the idea was mine.
The U-Have Token would be a digital object that could be shared but not transferred, copied or downloaded for free -admittedly dunno how that is done on mobile devices. In order to display ti, it would require an application, so the application and the objects would be the product being sold. The rest woudl be skilfull manipulation of psychology and consumerism.
The ultimate application: it does nothing, you just owe it and brag about owning it. The tecnical side would be probably trivial for a knowledgeable team, but finding the right trigger would be the real genius.
But what if you provoked him by being so powerful and his “friends” kept telling him day after day “Attack Linux NOW before he gets any stronger!” and one day he cracked and saw his friends were not well versed in military strategies… but yes, it’s kinda strange that in a game like that someone quits because he attacked “the wrong player”.
His buddy attacked me the day earlier. He sent me a ragequit mail after my first attack wave.
I made 5 of these clowns in that alliance quit the game already… It’s a typical case of “We’re blue to half the galaxy, nothing can happen to us! Oh wait, I’m getting my face punched in by this one guy! that’s unfair! I’m gonna quit and whine about it.”
That alliance is part of the Destroy The Cosmos coalition, which consists of literally half the map and our meager 20-person alliance is at war with them and single-handedly beating them to a pulp across several fronts.
I’m looking for a Windows app that warns me when neutrals enter local. My corp mates told me NEAR only warns from intel channels and that wouldn’t cut it for me. Anyone know a better app?
Anyway, it’s beddy time. tomorrow we have elections day with lots of political drama about the non-independence of Catalonia. I hope the parties closer to “No” win so we can have a Government more concerned with actual issues than with chasing wild gooses…
So, I got shot down today, by a gate camp, and found out that I lost a booster. But, I had it on for a week, I thought they only lasted a day… much net searching is needed
So, I got emails from postfix to postmaster about insufficient system storage for mails.
Went investigating.
A quick df / and I see the file system is at 100% use (wtf).
Looking for the culprit, it turns out it’s one of the typo3 logs which is now at a behemoth size of 600 GB. Turns out that realurl thinks it’s nice to ignore whatever the log level is set to and log a 3MB string every time the page is opened, which is apparently a bug.
Now I did figure out rather quickly what was wrong and triggered this crap in the first place and consequentially fixed it, but still not nice that the stupid log is filling up my hard drive (I used to have /home on a separate partition but figured what the hell, I don’t need this crap anyway so I didn’t anymore. Probably wouldn’t have noticed this for quite some while if I had done that
Christ, 600-■■■■■■■-GB-logfile and it bloated my backups up as well. But thanks to bz2 compression, those are only a meager 3GB bigger than usual.
I noticed that systems, games and programs recently treat memory size as it would be something infinite. They grow in size, take more RAM, even browsers, as much as you have, they will surely take it all away eventually.
