Drama / LolMástér - Admittance to Trolling [ingame]
« on: February 03, 2013, 04:29:40 PM »

Background
So around 3:30pm Eastern time, LolMaster connects to the server. He's mostly quiet, a few people greet him. I recognize his name from several dramas and some in-game quarrels, but I don't let it bother me. Later on, a friend of mine, Thorfin makes a spelling mistake, and Lol jumps all over him, correcting every little grammar or spelling mistake anyone makes from that point on. Though it's not really that big of a deal, the server later starts to brutally lag. Being that I am an admin, it's my job to maintain the server the best I can, so I start clearing spammy, useless or inactive builds [though I saved them on an alternative save file just in case people come back within 2-3 days asking for them].

All the while, LolMaster is criticizing those that stayed on the server, especially me. He keeps pointing out that "removing builds isn't helping the latency at all," even though I had dropped the latency by an average of 50. He later accuses me of being the cause of the lag, namely some simple relays I use for some ships of mine. They have a 1 second delay, and they hadn't been a problem until LolMaster got on. However, after I considered that, it struck me; the server had been lagging horribly ever since he connected. However, he refused to consider that, further claiming that it was my or someone Elses fault.

As time went by, I started spying LolMaster because he was quiet again, and I was worried. I noticed he had spawned himself a pistol, and was creeping up behind Thorfin. He fired 3 separate shots, none of them hitting Thor due to last-second dodging or because Master tried jumping and shooting. Whatever the case, random DMing on the server is a bannable offense, so I admin'd behind me with akimbo pistols, not saying a word. He fired another two shots, and then flew off, so I figured he was done for the day. Not so. After further argueing, he ends up banning all of the remaining players on the server, excluding one person who hadn't really talked at all.


Because I know dramas are meant to have images and I'd rather not go copy paste all 19ish pictures into here, I've conveniently got a link from Imgur, for ease of viewing.

Help / VCE - variable in chat
« on: January 30, 2013, 05:06:48 PM »
So I'm trying to get a variable to display in a minigame chat for everyone, but the variable won't show up. When I change the onVariableTrue statement to a different output event, it works, and all of the chat shows up, but my variable, <var:brick:example> won't show up with it's #.

any ideas?

Off Topic / Trip of a lifetime- Germany?
« on: January 29, 2013, 09:25:13 PM »
So let's set up some background first shall we:
A few years ago, my mom ran a very successful, private graphic design company, going as far as to win an award (solid gold, idk the name, if people really care I'll ask her/ get a pic of it) she sold the company for a huge profit because of her own work, but she didn't like running a company. Late 2009ish our family moved out to North Carolina (profile info is accurate ;) ) and she got a job working for BASF (world's largest agricultural chemical company, they do stuff like green energy, corn into biofuel, cheap building materials, genetic modifications to plants, 'supercrops' etc) as a global marketing director. So she does a lot of global work, and plays a very important role for the company. Once to three times a month, she goes out of country to different global meetings.

WHERE THINGS GET INTERESTING
Recently, the BASF HQ in Germany requested my mom, for 6 months. The company would pay to move us there AND back, and I could live in Germany for half a year. On the one hand; I have no friends, nothing to lose, I just text aquintences all day long anyways. On the other hand, I wouldn't know anyone THERE either, and I don't wanna risk getting too attached.

So, any forumers from Germany? How's the weather around October? Protips?
Whether or not she takes the offer almost half rests on me, cause everything else about it is positive. She'd have shorter work hours, higher pay, extra vacation time (but she has years of that saved up so that's not as big a deal), etc.

It sounds cool, and I'm like 90% certain I'll tell her I'd be totally cool with it.

Off Topic / ¥ola was banned- Rant[?*]
« on: January 28, 2013, 11:25:23 PM »
NOTE for those that don't know, ¥ola is JazZ on blockland.

*I wasn't sure if this would qualify as a rant or whatever, but I still kinda wanted to get this out there cause its a little dissapointing considering I've gotten to know JazZ twice now.

For those that don't know my first account (banned for trolling, Koonta, look it up, it was handicapped and I acknowledge that.), I had a large feud with ¥ola over trivial, unimportant matters that escalated dangerously fast, and ended up exploding in both of our faces. Granted, we never truely benefited each other but we always enjoyed each others company. Recently however, we started bumping into each other on servers. Being the grudge holder I am, I set out on any combat-based server I was on, to find and destroy JazZ. And in turn, had fun. And we talked and talked and eventually got to hang out again, and then we took up playing a game together and became even closer friends than before.

However. Recently ¥ola was banned for flaming and possibly for scamming over steam. While this is strictly against forum rules to even discuss the matter thereof, I still kinda miss him and I kinda think the ban was a little harsh, looked at from both sides. ¥ola jokes around a lot, and this is evident in the conversation in the related topic. Though I know he won't be unbanned, one can only hope.

Anyways, moving on, this is sort of... A shocker to me, because ¥ola has always been one of the more logical users here on the forum, being able to contribute quite often and being much more tech savvy than I am, often times more credible. But not only that, referencing back to the game we played together, we had agreed that he would post and maintain a topic for it; gone now. So it leaves it to either me, or another user, and I'm currently tracking several BL projects.

Whether you liked ¥ola or not, we've lost a member of our forums, and it's a sad day for those that liked him. For people like Patrick, cheers.

RIP ¥ola's Forum account and all the funny quips that came with

Gallery / Mini Empires Display [ UPDATE V3]
« on: January 27, 2013, 10:52:11 PM »
UPDATE!
Current update to topic: 4th
• V4
For whatever reason, imgur doesn't like this upload, so here's the tinypic hosted version;



OLDER VERSIONS
• V3 Click >>THIS<<

• V2 Click >>THIS<<

• V1 Click >>THIS<<

NOTICE!
V1 images are from my private dup plate of mini-empires-related material, placed onto a quickly rushed map. V2 was from a small scale, private mini empires I ran with a friend, but never fully took off, so it's mostly just environment stuff. However, V2 also has my most popular mini empires, which include the 2nd largest ship I've ever made. New! V3 contains content from my [wip] empire from Randomness's Mini Empires server (hosted 24/7, dedi.) There aren't any military units, because I don't have any resource harvesting facilities built yet (cause they were all pre-future.) Eventually, before the server shuts down, I'll acquire pictures of all of my military units, with full explanation of their functions, and maybe a video later on. This topic will be revised with more of my works as I go on.

EVERYTHING BELOW THIS LINE IS THE ORIGINAL TOPIC AKA V1
[Some content was removed and placed into the newer part of the topic]

Background
Since my last project got pretty good ratings here on the forums, I thought I would post some more of my work, this time on a whole new scale! Pictured here are some mini empires vehicles I had designed for an industrial-era mini empires (namely my own, and I'll explain why in a bit...*) In total, I have three different vehicles currently, and roughly 12 units (not pictured,) all evented to explain their functions. Being that the era is 'industrial', you'll notice there are no jets, my ships are rather small [was going for a fantasy-based ironclad.) and my train is a steam engine.

Images

Submarine + Sea monster! aaaaa

Ironclads!

Steam engine!

The Titan

Frontal view of The Titan

Vehicle info
Ironclads-
[2] 25mm cannons, [4] 10mm cannons, [2] puckle guns
Submersibles-
NO weapons, scout vehicle
Steam engine-
***SPECIAL NOTE*** The steam engine actually has 8 different rail cars, and only 2 are pictured (fuel cart/passenger)
List of all rail cars: Fuel, flat, passenger, cattle, postal (mail), mineral/ore, [2] 25mm cannon rail car, caboose
The Titan-
[17] puckle guns, [16] 10mm, [6] 25mm
Special: carry ability*. The Titan can carry SIX ironclads. Upon finding a large enough body of water, The Titan submerges it's lowest deck level into the water, allowing said water to flood in, and the ships to exit. This allows ships to cross over entire land masses without having to go around. However, this is also at the expense of speed, as The Titan travels at 1/12 the speed of a regular ironclad.

Off Topic / Build competition?
« on: January 24, 2013, 02:59:23 PM »
I'm bored, on my server right now, and I feel like posting. So I figured why not host a building competition TOPIC, and have people post pictures of their work on it.

'cept I need a theme. I was thinking castles, but I kinda wanna make a medieval house, and then I wanted to do sci-fi... So yeah, post ideas, might end up getting built. When I get around to the topic, I'll post the link right here: ____________________

ninjaedit: I'm not hosting it on my server because my internet isn't worth stuff, and if people so much as chat the entire server freezes for half a decade.

Help / Event help: minigame
« on: January 23, 2013, 03:34:28 PM »
So using slayer, I wanna have it so that every-time the minigame restarts, a relay is fired from a brick as an output. Do I need a special input event for this, or is there possibly some way to recreate that input that I'm just not thinking of? I've considered having it be onPlayerTouch with a single spawn brick, but then the problem is I'll have roughly 32 spawn bricks, and the odds of that brick being used are 1/32. Not good. I'm considering other options, but if there's an easy way to do this, I'd appreciate the help.

This is a project I started long ago when I got bored. I never really finished, and I don't plan to finish it anytime soon, but I will eventually tie it into a larger project I'm doing. It's about 48k bricks, give or take. For all 6 of the pictures, here's the link; yaaay imgur

kees me

On a more serious note, please rate and list any flaws you see with the build, I can provide more images, or in-game sneak peaks if you guys would like, though I will not give out the save because I'm a tight ass because this is my work because you'll steal it fgts because it isn't done yet and I sure wouldn't want people stealing incomplete work.

Off Topic / Rant: family/ personal matters
« on: January 21, 2013, 10:52:42 PM »
This is a rant. I typed all of this on my iPhone, and this is a very LARGE OP. If you plan to read, get comfy. Also, forgive and grammar or spelling error, I wasn't in the mood to correct.


So first let me just describe myself in my own terms: 5"9, thin, I spend most of my time on a computer modding for people, having fun, especially on week ends. I have slight acne, and my age on my profile is accurate; 17. I live in a 150k annual income household, so I'm pretty well off. I go to the highest rated public school in my state, if not this side of the country (probably bs fed to me by my parents), I get good grades, roughly all A, a B occasionally, 1 C at worst. I have a younger brother, and he's 2-3 years in he behind me. If my parents need help, I take my time getting to them, just to finish what I'm doing, but I never make them wait more than 5 minutes. I have a medical condition called cystinuria that makes it extremely easy for me to get kidney stones, which are a pain in the ass (or rooster if we're being literal) to deal with. Last year my mom got me a really nice car, and a few months ago my dad helped me to get a debit card as well as do some bank transactions to get me started with my own money. Fast forward 4 months later, and trouble starts:
Jobs:
I want a job. Gaming is fun and all, but I would much rather have money and less time to game, because then it has more value. I've applied all over, but I don't wanna work in any sort of food establishment. I feel bad for every single waiter I've ever seen. They are under constant pressure, and the fear of tripping with food, bumping into something, etc freaks me out. That should be fine, because there are literally 5 shopping centers within walking distance of my house. So I'm job hunting right? And my mom is always on my back "do you have a job yet? When will you? Where did you apply?" and if I'm not working right then and there, she will hand my car keys to me and tell me to go drive around and apply, in person. This has come in handy one time thus far, and I doubt I'll even get hired.
My brother:
dear loving god kill it please. Some of you may know him in-game; Manokal. BL_ID 10833, aka 1 ID above my own, because it would be unfair if I had anything he didn't. My brother has a very minute autism, but his laziness makes it seem mild at best. I cannot begin to describe the stupidity that I endure with him, so I'll give examples that come to mind;
- Saturday we went to a performance, Shen Yun, it was intended to be a fun family night out with our grandma. My dad was gone, and my mom was trying to buy me a soda from a nearby kiosk. Before she left, she said to me "you need to drink something, kidney boy." after she was out of earshot, richardey McGee comes over, gets within an inch of my face, starts poking my chest as hard as he can (which isn't really anything at all, I'm sturdy and he's just... weak. Like, paper vs mountain weak.) and he starts to say "YEAH KIDNEY BOY, DRINK MORE, YEAH YEAH KIDNEY BOY."
At this point, he's made a scene out in the middle of a large pathway, and he knows I don't like him being in my personal space. At all. So before I even bother to tell him to stop, I twist his arm around mid-poke, lock him up and I've got his arm behind his back. Mom is still busy getting a drink, and he's dead silent. My grandma is trying to break us apart because she pitied him no matter what he does to me, so I deliver a quick message; "touch me again, you lose an arm."
Hollow threat, but he of course cries to mommy, and she just puts it off as him being a cry baby.
- Everyday we're in the same room, a foot away from each other, and everyone ANYTHING happens on his screen, he laughs as loud as he can, as I'd it's the funniest damn thing anyone has ever seen, I turn around and he's bouncing up and down and on the screen is the TF2 heavy literally just walking. Honestly, it wasn't funny in the slightest bit. And this is one of millions of incidents throughout an entire day.
- because he can't read or write worth stuff, he decided to google all of the TF2 sayings/quotes and write them down. Whenever he wants to communicate, he uses that list. This would be fine normally, however; A. He stalks me. On every damn server.
B. he spams it non-stop until someone tells him to stop. Just imagine MAGGOTSMAGGOTSMAGOTSMAGRAMAGU TSMAOTGSMAURGSLKLLOLOL
C. Half of what he has on there has "forget" in it somewhere. More on why that pisses me off later*
The computer room*;
I use a wired connection with Internet, because I'm not allowed to have my computer in my own bedroom, or our playroom upstairs. This would be fine and all, but it not even for me; it's so someone watches over boogerbrains behind me. Except I'm trying and I'm TOLD to ignore him. So when he connects to kong's death race and starts spamming "loving MAGGOTS" I'm about to lose it. I'm having my fun, he's making an idiot of himself, and I'm supposed to ignore it, and just tell my parents he has this list full of insults and foul language that I practically use as descriptive language. But see, that's not all.  Once upon a time, I had an amazing girlfriend who loved to Skype, and I didn't mind. But my idiot of a brother ALWAYS had something to do or say.

Did I mention he's always in his underwear? He could care less if the entire wall was gone, he would still sit there in his underwear. He doesn't even sit, he planks on his chair.
My computer vs his computer;
For Christmas, he got all new gaming equipment, like an entire remake, and they literally spend hundreds of dollars on game for him per month. Me? My monitor won't even loving turn on! It takes 15 minutes to turn on. And he abuses it ALL: he sneezes on everything, he smashes his mouse when he's mad, he kicks his monitor, he wastes space on his drives, etc.

Now we get into my parents, mostly my mom;
Dad;
He was a Boyscout, so I should be a Boyscout. And I should get eagle since he didn't. Fair enough. But if I dont go camping ONCE, he cries about it endlessly and says "at this rate you won't get eagle, your slacking, your friends asked about you, etc"
Are you loving kidding me? I texted ALL of my Frieda from scouts, none of them could give less of a stuff, their minds are all on guns, 'muricuh, tits and weed. And now he wants to go on a high adventure trip to the snowy north, and I have NO intention of going because I HATE the cold. He's still loving crying about it, and now he's trying to get other adult leaders to talk me into it.
My mom;
Dear forget. She takes bipolar to a whole new level. I love my mom, but if I could just slap her once, I would make it count. Let's start a christmas time; new girlfriend, and we're going shopping together. Before I go, my mom tells me to get my little brother a present. I ask her "All I have is birthday money, and you said that was for gas?" her retort? "well now it's for your brother."
So I buy him some nice gaming headphones that e doesn't even loving use. Thanks buddy. There goes my great birthday present. So I'm broke right? But I can't be broke, I saved up like $90 from the summer... Nope, cause see, my mom said she would pay for a Spanish tutor, but he never had cash on her, so I would go upstairs and grab a $20 from my stash. Until I was broke. But wait it gets better. So we're dog sitting, and my mom offers me half the pay if I walk the dogs all weekend. Easy, so I do it, $40. This lasts me literally a day. She needs to "borrow" money, so I let her, but then when I wanna go out with friends, she says "I don't owe you any money, you have your own."
At this point I'm ripping my hairs out as I'm telling my friends I can't go anymore cause I can't chip in my share of the cost for what we were gonna do.
So time goes by, and my moms car is falling apart. So she starts driving my car. She gets home one day, and complains that I haven't been filling it with gas, and that whenever I drive I conveniently for myself, leave it empty; I don't have any money to fill it with, and I never let the tank fall below half full. It gets 26 MPG minimum.
Last part. So I let a girl I like(d) drive my car, cause she didn't like my driving (I you want the link to the thread I'll like you.) Long story short, she put a 2" sent into one of my rims. So I had to get a $300 replacement, factory made or w/e it's called when it's the original you buy the car with. Since then, the rim has been sitting in the garage. Tonight, my dad walks up to me mid-snack, and tells me "why don't we swap vehicles tomorrow. I'll take your car to work and you can take my truck to the dump and trade in that rim."
Being the logical person I am, I ask "but dad, isn't the dump in the general direction of your work?" He responds "Yes, it is, but I have to go to work, and I'm not going to go out of my way for a measly $20."
At this point, I'm a little upset. He would get 3 minutes out of his way. So I sort of say to myself "Not like I'll get to keep the $20 anyways..." My mother of course after hearing that, pipes up "Why should you get to keep it?" now I'm pissed off. You gave me a debit card with my own money to be self sufficient, and I would be, but you're loving robbing me. So I respond as I get up, not even bothering to put my dishes away "You're right, and I don't need my debit card or my wallet since I probably can't keep those either." as I walk upstairs to my room, she calls up "You're just a spoiled brat."


That's all forums. Just had to get that out. Lately it kinda seems like the world is all against me in one way or another, and then everyone expects the best of me. I don't really know what I expect in response to this. Pity I guess, maybe advice, maybe just someone to listen.

Knowledge is power, let us commence in the expansion of knowledge! Post random, useless facts that could never in anyone's lifetime be helpful.

If the average house cat eats a can of cat food a day, and each can contains 5.5 oz of food, over the course of a year, the cat will have consumed 125.468 lbs. in a cat's lifespan (average is 12-14, some reaching 30, my cats reached 21, so we'll go middle line, 15 years), that's 1,882.02 lbs OR 0.8536699122 metric tons.

Off Topic / Guitar songs
« on: January 15, 2013, 08:39:01 PM »
New semester starts on Wednesday of this coming week, and I have Guitar II. I plan to take Guitar III my next and final year, so I hope to do well in the class. I stopped playing guitar since the class, but lately I've been practicing, doing my drills, playing songs, etc, and from experience the best way to practice guitar, is to play the guitar (aka songs, not just sitting in a room playing random notes and identifying them by sound all day.)

So, recommend me some songs that you guys like, who knows, maybe I'll upload a video or two.

Key:
[D] = Done learning
[L] = Learning
[P] = Planning
[W] = Too difficult
[C] = Considering

SONGS SO FAR
Hell's Bells - AD/DC [D]
Black Dog - Led Zeppelin [D]
21 guns - Green Day [D]
Iron Man - Black Sabbath [D]
Wake Me Up When September Ends - Green Day [D]
Mute City (F-zero) [L]
Burn the Witch - Queens of the Stone Age [L]
Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin [L]
Steal My Kisses - Ben Harper [C]
Feel Good Drag - Anberlin [C]
Pain - Jimmy Eat World [C]
Better Together - Jack Johnson [P]
Upside down - Jack Johnson [P]
King of Pain - The Police [L]
Message in a Bottle - The Police [L]
Welcome to the Jungle - Guns N Roses [L]
Big Wave - Pearl Jam [D]
Carry on my Wayward Son [L]
Good Riddance - Green Day [L/D]
Kryptonite - 3 Doors Down[D]
Daytripper - The Beatles [L]

Quite a healthy mix of music in my opinion, but I can always expand it ever further. List your favorite guitar songs, artists, tricks etc.
unimportant: I own a cherry red squire (something something) electric guitar, and then my most recent addition, my Ibanez V70CE Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric with Trans Blue paint / finish;


I started playing electric guitar when I was seven, and now I'm seventeen. I (obviously) haven't played a lot, but with the acoustic, I began to play a lot more, even for fun as opposed to just practice. I don't want guitar-playing to be my career, but I think it's a good skill to have and it's something fun to do that people can enjoy, whether the artist or audience.
