Off Topic / I'm fairly certain that this girl likes me, but I got no social skills. WHAT DO?

« on: November 01, 2016, 07:02:08 PM »

So yeah, I'm fairly certain that some girl likes me, but I have no socials skills, so I don't know how to deal with it. Also, yeah. I like her back.

I'm pretty sure she likes me, because starting like a week ago, she started asking for me to wait for her after class to walk her to her next class.
One of my best friends also said something along the lines of 'She talks to you like she really likes you'.
Idfk what that means, but I think it means something.

A problem to consider: I remember hearing from my brother and one other person that this girl likes my brother, so it's be mega awkward if I did make a move, only to find out that she likes my brother.

Help???

Help / Server failing to authenticate out of the blue

« on: October 31, 2016, 03:52:06 PM »

Yet another problem with my server.
So here's the deal:

I own an external server in a datacenter. I use mstsc to connect to it, and it runs Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise. I have no idea if this is important, but I'll state it anyways. I am not local to the router, which means that it is impossible for me to port forward(if that's the issue).

On this server, I run multiple blockland servers, many under different Users'.
I run these various servers, by using a .bat file that will more easily allow blockland to run on different ports. This .bat file contains the following:

Code: [Select]

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Blockland\BlocklandLauncher.exe" -dedicated -profilePath "C:\Users\tbd1579\Desktop\TBDServer" -port 28200This .bat file is for the user tbd1579, and it is supposed to run on port 28200

The $pref for the port($Pref::Server::Port = "28200";) is also set at 28200, which should eliminate any port problems.

Across any of the blockland users or blockland servers running, I made sure that all of the ports that they are set to run on, are different.


The problem at hand, is that the server fails to authenticate, and fails to Initialize UPnP

--------- Initializing Base: Server ---------------------
Initializing steamAPI...
  SteamAPI initialization failed.
Loading compiled script base/server/mainServer.cs.
Loading compiled script base/server/scripts/game.cs.
Initializing steamAPI...

UDP initialized on port 28200

Initializing UPnP...
--------------------
UPnP Discovery Failed
--------------------

Connect error: 10055
Authentication FAILED: Connection failure.  Retrying in 5 seconds...

Over all of the blockland servers (5 spread over 3 users), all of them fail to authenticate. I double checked to make sure none were running on the same port, and even if they were running on the same port, I tried multiple different ports to see if it would work(and it didn't).
I've also tried re-inputting my key, but the same problem persisted.

console.log
launcher.log

Help??

tl:dr
Server does not authenticate | UPnP fails | I cannot port forward | Problem is occurring on a server in a datacenter(not my computer or a local server) | Problem happened randomly

Off Topic / UPDATE: We had another competition and won grand champion.

« on: October 23, 2016, 01:25:50 PM »

There were 22 bands, split between class 1a 2a 3a and 4a. We were in 3a, which had 4 other bands.

Our band ratings in the 3 primary subjects were Superior in percussion(best), Superior in color guard(best) and Excellent on overall band(2nd best).

In our section(3a) we scored highest in all subjects (color guard, drum majors, percussion, music performance, visual performance, probably something else)

Out of ALL the bands (some of which were 2x-3x larger than ours) we ranked HIGHEST in percussion(scoring a 95.6). Aka, we had the best percussion section out of all 22 bands, with some front lines and drumline 4x larger than ours.
Our color guard was 3rd out of all the bands
Our overall band was 5th out of all the bands.

Extras: we lost 5-10 points on the overall band and color guard due to a prop falling, and if it had not fallen we would've won overall in all subjects.

UPDATE:

Last Saturday, we had another competition.
We placed Superior in Percussion, Band, General effect, visual effect, musical performance.
We got an excellent in Drum Majors.

Overall, we were the grand champion(we were 1st over all.. 14 bands)

I found a video of our performance that day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqSWD_7M7fM

Basically anything under $70 that looks good. And nothing overly complicated, or over formal. I don't want to be over dressed, but I also am uncreative and have no idea what looks good.

Help..

Also, pictures are encouraged. I might have no idea what you're talking about, if you're talking about some specific type of shirt / pant etc

Drama / Lord TonyŽ : Pumping out insane amounts of low effort / low quality topics.

« on: September 22, 2016, 08:48:16 PM »

I haven't been very active on blf, but when I am on, I almost always see some 3 liner topic by Lord Tony. Most of all of his topics are made simply for tony to to flaunt / rub his opinions in other peoples face / make his opinion known for no legitimate reason. A majority of his topics are on purposefully controversial topics, and he will intentionally spark unnecessary arguments with people on these topics, and in many cases derail his own topics. He's basically stuffposting in a mass amount through topics, and some how he is getting away with it. He's made 22 useless topics since the start of this month(all listed below) and he should really slow down.

If Tony were to post.. like a third or a fourth of the current amount of topics he makes, it would not be as much of a problem, but it's getting pretty insane.

Links of Lord Tony:
Profile
Posts
General Statistics

Here's all of the topics he's made this month that are extremely simple, controversial, simply his opinion, and/or almost irrelevant.
(Open images in new tab to see their full resolutions)

In this one, he didn't even bother looking anywhere else to see if it was already found out. Because there were two topics already made prior to him posting

tl:dr: Lord Tony is pumping out insane amounts of topics with 3 lines or less, and most are strictly for Tony to express his opinion, and(or) to spark argument.

Also, another note. I know that some people really hate the 'ama' threads. And Tony made one and answered literally no questions on it. He made it simply for people to know that he doesn't like BLM.
https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=302977.0

Also, in the case that Tony is purposefully and blatantly trolling.. is trolling not disallowed? If he's making all of these topics knowing that he's going to annoy people, and I am taking the bait, why is it still allowed?

We get it Tony. You don't like BLM, and you don't like Hillary, and you like backlash. Can you stop making topics about them every day now?

Off Topic / Ya boii got no social skills and could use some tips

« on: September 17, 2016, 02:01:03 PM »

Really tho, I have like no social skills and could use some tips on how to not be so stuff at making friends.

I'm not saying that I don't have friends, I just.. can't easily make friends out of a specific group of people.

Basically, most if not all of my friends right now are either from Percussion / Band or elementary school. I just see / used to see these people so often, that it came naturally with them.. because people in band and percussion share a common interest with me(band and percussion), it's fairly easy to make friends with them because we can talk about similar things.

Outside of people from band / percussion / elementary school, I can't really make any new friends. I just... don't possess the social skills to be able to talk to people and share common interests and just.. y'know make friends.

Oh yeah, I've never had a girlfriend and I'm only 'friends' with maybe 5 girls. loving kill me, or give me tips. It's time to stop because I'm tired of being antisocial, but I also don't know how to not be anti social with the people that I don't know.

Oh, I'm a sophomore in highschool. After reading this over, I made it sound like I was in middle school.

Help..?

Also:

I'm absolutely terrible at small talk. Like, with people I don't know, I can't make a conversation last more than about 12 seconds. It consists of 'hey' > 'hey' > 'how are you doing?' > 'good, you?' > 'good' > -end-

Off Topic / Good / Bad idea to buy these earbuds?

« on: August 27, 2016, 06:25:33 PM »

https://www.wish.com/search/Ear%20buds#cid=5685e629866d1941de3663af

is this wish site a scam or no?
I've used it before to buy both of my brothers a keyboard + mouse, and they still use them 9 months later. So.. I know that wasn't a scam. But what do you guys think about buying earbuds from here?
Says they're normally $32, but on sale for $4..

Also, I need cheap earbuds because my current ones are on the edge of destroyed. Half of they time they don't work at all, and 90% of the time only one of the sides works, but it's a random side that works each time. And, I have no source of income so they need to be cheap.

edit:

Meh. I bought them. They're literally $5 including shipping, so I suppose that if they're complete stuff.. it's just $5. Hopefully my current earbuds will last until I figure out the actual quality of these earbuds. Which, it says they'll arrive on Sept.17. rip
