sounds good to me

Zultar told me that cubit had told him that it would be happening today. Cubit probably should have told everyone to avoid this confusion, but whatever :P

How's tuesday at the start of zultars stream sound then? That's 2pm CDT or whatever it is i don't know if daylight savings is still a thing over the pond still :P

Alright junithorn, I'm up for basically any day except today. I would prefer if we arranged a schedule that matched zultars streaming schedules because until we get the new UI I don't think my comuter can handle proper streaming. You can find his rough schedule here: http://www.twitch.tv/zultar327. He has however decided to remove the labels saying which blocks are offworld streams and which arn't, but I'm sure if we ask super nicewy in this wittle baby voice we can get him to

I would like to thank my privilege for allowing me to take part in this tournament since I just got back from holiday today :P

[quote]Mutiny or Dynamite - to counter Scavenger power plays [/quote] Since when has scavenger had a power play? Seriously, dynamite and mutinies have always seemed to me to be most beneficial to scavenger, and anti-offworld tools, so what on earth would scav do for power that the COUNTER would be mutiny and dynamite? What do you mean by encouraging BM player interaction? People use the black market all the time. A system where 'pay $3000, harm an opponent of th

[quote who="indczn1" reply="10" id="3584056"] I haven't played too many 1v1's where the map being unplayable wasn't caused by the players themselves founding and crushing resources. Granted, those carbon/alum spawns are very annoying to play against, but I suspect that the 50k debt assumed for that spot would make up the difference. I'd like to wait and see how the 1v1 plays with reveal map on before they make too many changes to the maps/resource spawning. [/quote]

With how much you play I'm honestly suprised you've never run into this bug before. It happens with any language, and was reported back in beta 4 I believe. You can speak commie though right? :P

[quote who="indczn1" reply="4" id="3582863"] Scientifically specifically - I think you might be struggling with scientific because you aren't going for the early patent lab. I still play scientific and robotic about 50/50 and I, in general, have an easier time winning with Scientific 1v1 or FFA. The early patent lab is still important for scientific because early patents are KEY for controlling your debt. The cheapest patents are geared towards controlling your power consumption, and

that'll help but I doubt it'll solve many of the core issues I talked about, the big deal with the patent lab is still the initial time and tile investment, the classes probably won't affect how scavenger can be played, scientific are still not all that sciency and still will be all about the black market. Glad to see yet another financial instruments buff :P

I beilieve that there are relics of this game, back from ye olden days of beta's past, that should be removed and cleaned up; design decisions that changed core faction mechanics that shouldn't exist anymore due to how the game has evolved since. Let me start this with a discussion on scientific. My current belief on them is that they are generally weak. Perhaps I am right, perhaps I'm jsut bad at scientific ever since the debt change, perhaps I'm ju

[quote who="blackmagic1" reply="8" id="3582107"] My issue with this is that more times than not SOMETHING in the offworld is highly priced thus making offworlds important every game no matter what. You have all those resources available that can be viable and there's bound to be something you can launch off for big profits. The extra claims combined with the easily affordable offworlds is too much to overcome. The map isn't always kind to founding scavenger to keep expansive in c

I agree that expansive are more powerful than the other factions right now, but I heavily disagree with your solution. This is because you have to ask yourself why are expansive now ontop? They used to be weaker than the other factions, what changed? I think this changed because of 2 things: black market and engineering labs. A lot of the time these days, you'll have 2 or 0 ways to attack an offworld. This naturally makes offworlds mroe steamrolly, and as a result scavenger gets weaker, t

Forecasts for the weather have been asked for for weeks and are already in the next_version beta of the game, shortage and surplus warnings however are still scavenger only. The problem with giving that to everyone is that it can easily be abused by buying before the shortage happens and then selling after the short. This could lead to people who got an early advantage and have the most disposable income to be able to buy into the short the most and just steamroll ahead. <

It should just work. Do you have a replay of it saved?

The people who naturally found earlier and grab the best spots are in the best positions, the whole point of this mode is how much do you want to pay for a good spot? If your too afraid and don't pay anything your part of the problem in making the better spots not cost anything to claim, and thus your in a poisition to lsoe the game. If there's no pressure on someone to take a spot for 20K or so of debt then yeah, they arn't going to lose. Indeed, the issue

This happens when you don't have the money to actually buy enough resources to launch. Are you sure you had enough? You needed about $10000 inorder to launch in this situation. I see 2 big issues in this screenshot: 1. your funds is at 2K and you have no real buildings producing money so it looks like you didn't have enough money to launch for quite a while, 2: your sending oxygen when food is strictly better

Yerand was supposed to make this post. He has not, I am dissapoint. Back in ye olde days of yore people could be spiteful just before they were bought out and scrap all their buildings. To deal with this issue buildings were automatically remade when a person gets bought out if they were unable to build somethign else on that tile in time. This helped deal with the problem tremendeously. However, recently the auction black market item recieved a buff to not have a cooldown on the blac

Alright, now I can read it I did, it was fine. Nothing I would consider exceptional, but that's probably exceptional in it's own way since it reads as well as a 'professional' piece from for-profit video games journalism sites, if that makes any sense. So good job. On a completly unrelated note, here are 2 resources to teach you colour theory and website design in regards to using colour: <a href="http://webdesign.tutsplus.com/arti

Oh god white on a grey background, that is horrendous. I guess at least there isn't obnoxious ads but still, it hurt my eyes too much trying to read this, So I didn't.

So a unit of steel sells for $79, the steel mill produces half a unit per second. The revenue of a steel mill is thus $79/2 = $39.5. However, the steel mill takes a unit of iron per second as input, so it uses $25 per second to keep functioning. $39.5-$25 is $14.5 net revenue. However it's likely that iron price is like $25.2 or something causing it to be rounded down to $14 rather than rounded up to $15.

Sometimes it can be tacctically useful to buy out your ally, incase he is death-spiraling from a million network viruses for example, or perhaps you ony have 1 opponent left but he might buy someone out unless one of you buys the other out to infate your stock price. This is especially important if said opponent controls like half the stocks in your ally. But yeah, team games have really taken a back-seat right now, which isn't really a bad thing.

Could you clarify what you mean by that soren? Because I'm interpreting that as saying that the value of stock you own is added as part of your resources, and currently the only way a player can tell whether or not they're at a buyout, or if anyone else is close to a buyout on another player, is to add together cash + resources since they don't see a buyout percentage, so if you include things that cannot be instantly sold without adding some other sort of functionality to tell ho

Had the same issue. I can confirm the sounds were still in english.

Yes, it is possible. Google is your friend. http://www.overclock.net/t/1001377/how-to-change-the-position-of-steam-notifications-answered is one example. Remember, steam and steam notifications are not changable by mohawk, steam is software owned by valve.
