09:47:09watusimoto1morning!
09:47:16raptormorning!
09:47:26raptorI've decided I need to finish my level for the contest..
09:47:42watusimoto1I absolutely suck at levels
09:47:44raptorand so I have awoken at 3:45 just for that!
09:47:58watusimoto1awesome... I never get up that early... I prefer to stay up
09:48:08raptor(or maybe it's because I'm nervous about our big roll-out at work...)
09:48:17watusimoto1it will be fine
09:48:42raptorI woke up having nightmares of performing search engine tests
09:48:44watusimoto1but you'll feel better with a good level under your belt
09:48:52raptoryes :)
09:50:05raptorha! sky_lark is up, too...
09:50:21watusimoto1you people are crazy!
09:50:35raptorand we have a new server in the list called 'Turuldarknet'
09:50:39raptorwhatever that means...
09:52:04raptorI have a good design... I just need to figure out how to not play horribly

10:13:20raptorI grew up with lots of superstition
10:13:26raptorin the east
10:13:52watusimoto1me too... like "tsa agents prevent terrorism attacks"
10:14:02raptorhahaha
10:14:39raptori even grew up in an old colonial house with crooked, cross-and-bible doors
10:40:10raptormaybe i'm being too ambitious with my level...
10:42:46watusimoto1that means it's going to be good!

15:00:05Nothing_Muchkaen: did you get a chance to use an Ubuntu Phone at all?
15:00:07kaenI also got an RC car chassis and a pair of RF chips for remote control
15:00:16kaenI have not
15:00:25kaenI'm out here in the sticks my friend
15:00:35Nothing_MuchIn the sticks?
15:00:37Nothing_Mucho.o
15:01:15kaenI live in an isolated town in the desert
15:01:23Nothing_MuchOhh
15:01:26Nothing_MuchOh that sucks
15:01:32kaenthere's probably not even an ubuntu phone in this county
15:01:42Nothing_MuchThere's no Ubuntu Phones period
15:01:49Nothing_MuchI thought you'd be ablet to flash something there :P
15:01:58Nothing_Muchon a smartphone
15:02:08kaenohh
15:02:13Platskies Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
15:02:23Nothing_MuchI went to an Ubuntu meetup, met a guy who actually WORKS at Canonical!
15:02:31kaenI don't think you could run that on a uC
15:02:36kaenoh whoa that's awesome!
15:02:47Nothing_Muchdude that wasn't even the best part
15:02:52Nothing_Muchhe had an ubuntu phone and tablet
15:03:02Nothing_Muchand I played around with both
15:03:05Nothing_Muchdude
15:03:11Nothing_Muchyou seriously need to get one
15:03:13Nothing_Muchnot even consider it
15:03:15Nothing_Muchjust get one
15:03:28Nothing_Muchits amazing
15:03:53kaenI literally have more phones and tablets than I can use though :P
15:04:09Nothing_MuchI can't even praise it enough, just imagine everything good about iOS and take out everything bad out of Android and multiply the good from iOS by 1000x
15:04:37Nothing_Muchkaen: Whoa really?
15:04:40Nothing_MuchFlash a phone!
15:04:47Nothing_MuchIf you have a Nexus or something!
15:05:25Nothing_Muchwait how many phones exactly?
15:05:28kaenI have a couple of two or three year old droids and my iphone 4
15:05:34kaenand a ton of old old junker flip phones
15:05:40Nothing_Muchoh darn
15:05:55Nothing_MuchI'd buy an old phone from ya if it was Ubuntu Phone compatible
15:05:59Nothing_Muchand give it to my brother
15:06:48Nothing_Muchoh hell
15:06:51Nothing_Muchthat's just weird to say
15:06:57Nothing_Muchoh well
15:07:01Nothing_MuchHow's everybody?
15:07:19kaenpretty good, all in all
15:07:44kaenI made a map last night for the contest, thread_, but I couldn't wrestle it to fit with the theme :/
15:08:19thread_ah.
15:08:28thread_so you burned it instead?
15:08:40kaenyes
15:08:43kaenI put it on a CD
15:08:58thread_wow, way to take my suggestion literally
15:09:02Nothing_MuchLOL
15:09:11Nothing_Muchwhy not a floppy? :P
15:09:19Nothing_MuchBF can fit on a Floppy, right?
15:09:36Nothing_Muchoh wait
15:09:38Nothing_Muchnvm
15:09:45Nothing_Much1.44megabytes
15:10:03thread_I remember when floppy's were actually used
15:10:32Nothing_MuchI kinda do too
15:11:17thread_nowadays, several gigs ins't enough
15:11:27thread_digital inflation!
15:11:40Nothing_Muchlol
15:14:01thread_That was a joke, but now that I'm thinking about it... I'm not so sure... :/
15:14:41thread_FEAR THE QUANTUM DUCK, IT GOES QUARK QUARK!
15:15:10Nothing_Muchthread_: don't worry, I'm not the smartest cookie around here to understand such jokes :(
15:15:39thread_it wan't a super smarty joke, I was just saying it got me thinking

15:21:47raptorgood morning!
15:21:56raptorthread_: are you around to talk business?
15:31:15watusimoto1I'm off to fail my French exam!!!
15:31:18watusimoto1wooohooo!
15:31:26raptorbuena suerte!
15:31:54watusimoto1my first F since that nature of magnetism exam in physics at university!
15:32:06raptorha!
15:32:10watusimoto1well, there were some electricity questions on that one as well, to be fair
15:32:21raptorsounds like my last physics class
15:32:26watusimoto1viva la monopole!!!
15:32:53raptorhaha
15:36:01thread_ummm... sure? what's up raptor?
15:36:01kaenwhoa, I'm not sure what speedzone snapping does
15:36:18kaenbut it magically fixed all of the speedzone tracks in my level
15:36:25thread_it snaps a ship to the middle of a speed zone when boosting
15:36:32kaenoooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
15:36:33raptorkaen: guarantees the ship moves along the exact vector of the speed zone
15:36:38raptoryes
15:36:55raptorthread_: you gave me levels - did you want to announce a contest party?
15:36:59kaenI always thought it had to do with the placement or something ...
15:37:04thread_sure
15:37:07raptori'll need passwords for the server to set up, too
15:37:13thread_oh, ok
15:37:25raptoror i can make them up and give them to you
15:37:52thread_I was thinking of going along with standard conventions. the date or whatever for levelchange
15:37:58raptorok
15:38:32watusimoto1 Quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds)
15:40:53thread_I noticed someone put the contest announcement on the games main menu. that was nice to see.
15:41:56raptoryes, I did
15:42:05raptorI can do the contest party, too, if you want
15:42:57thread_umm.. ok. what does that mean?
15:43:11thread_you are doing the server? That would be great
15:44:04raptorsorry, what i mean
15:44:15raptori can put a message up there for the contest party, if you want to do one
15:45:28thread_oooohh... yea, that would be awesome
15:45:56raptorin the past, when i've done a contest, i've opened up the server a few hours before the contest party
15:46:06raptorbut that has led to people playing right then and not during the party
15:46:34raptorso you could try to delay the server opening until the party... what do you think kaen?
15:49:40thread_Well, you were doing the server, right?
15:51:01thread_I was thinking Friday at 5:00 PDT
15:52:38kaenI think that's the way to do it
15:54:26raptorok, good idea
15:54:31raptori'll put up the message
15:55:04raptorif you're feeling benevolent, you could say to people that you will accept last-last-minute changes... until thursday night or so :)
15:56:37kaenso... if the server isn't going up until friday, why not extend the deadline entirely?
15:56:52raptoror that, too
15:57:07raptorup to you thread_... then maybe a few other maps could sneak in
15:58:32raptorok contest party message posted
15:58:54raptori was going to make a joke... then i looked at my long history of attempting to make jokes, and thought better of it
16:11:56watusimoto has joined
16:11:57ChanServ sets mode +o
16:16:51raptoralso, if you extend the deadline, maybe the french-speaking watusimoto may submit a map!
16:22:58thread_YAY!
16:23:14raptor(if he hasn't already)
16:23:29raptori'm actually glad I don't know the authors... i like being in the dark
16:25:14thread_Mystery abounds.... which map was the one you submitted... you may never know....
16:39:42thread_kaen: now you have time to make your map fit the theme and submit.
16:39:55kaenyou're right :)
16:40:10kaenglad I didn't push it pleiades like I was going to this morning
16:41:31thread_raptor: I feel a little presumptuous for asking, but can I award the winner one of the competition badges?
16:42:59raptoroh yes
16:43:28raptorthat is what I was planning on anyways :)
17:03:36raptorthread_: you should announce the contest changes and party in the forums
17:03:45thread_I did
17:03:50raptoroh?
17:03:54raptorhow did I miss them..
17:04:01thread_err... I guess I changed the top post
17:04:30raptorah ok, you'll have to do a bump or people may not see it (it doesn't show up in the 'new posts' list)
17:05:31thread_kk

17:51:58thread_excited for friday
17:52:17LordDVG has joined
17:56:55raptormaybe i'll make a map!
18:02:08Watusimoto_sigh
18:02:15Watusimoto_I did poorly on that test
18:02:29Watusimoto_I left a whole section blank, and instead drew a picture of an elephant
18:02:48Watusimoto_but my drawing ability is such that I doubt I'll get any points for "cute"
18:02:51raptorsweet!
18:03:10Watusimoto_I don't even know what I was supposed to do
18:03:22raptornormally, I would doodle random mathematical designs
18:03:35Watusimoto_so
18:03:40Watusimoto_in Nexus game
18:03:54Watusimoto_when game ends, I see three situations
18:04:05Watusimoto_1) Nexus is open
18:04:24Watusimoto_2) Nexus is closed, and will open at some point in the future
18:04:32Watusimoto_3) Nexus is never going to open
18:04:48Watusimoto_so for 1, I think... next score wins?
18:05:06raptorsince nexus is so fast at point gaining
18:05:09Watusimoto_(unless Nexus closes and is never going to reopen)
18:05:17raptori'd say that for #1, i'd give another 30 seconds or so
18:05:42Watusimoto_and force the nexus to stay open?
18:05:51raptorhmm
18:05:59Watusimoto_what if its 1 second from closing?
18:06:04Watusimoto_what if a script closes it?
18:06:10raptoryeah... probably open it...
18:06:18raptora script has no nexus control, does it?
18:06:23raptorjust isOpen, etc
18:06:27raptorlooking..
18:06:28Watusimoto_if not, it certainly could in future
18:06:35Watusimoto_and probably should
18:06:51Watusimoto_so for our purposes, "yes"
18:06:54raptoryes
18:06:56raptorbut
18:07:04raptorwhat is the criteria for overtime in nexus?
18:07:17Watusimoto_game ends, score is tied
18:07:21raptorah ok
18:07:27raptori've actually never seen that...
18:07:53raptorso i'm not sure how much work you'd want to put into it
18:08:20Watusimoto_I see two viable options
18:08:29Watusimoto_1) force nexus open, extend game by 20 seconds
18:08:37Watusimoto_2) allow game to end in tie
18:08:43Watusimoto_3) next score wins
18:09:11Watusimoto_so three viable options
18:11:14Watusimoto_I'm thinking #1
18:11:26Watusimoto_because it's real easy
18:11:31raptoryeah, that seems ok
18:11:37raptorif it's easy, then all the better
18:15:48raptorare you planning on turning the option for sudden death on/off? maybe in the level file (or maybe server setting?)
18:16:53raptor*adding the option to turn it on/off
18:28:46Watusimoto_I was not planning to add such an option
18:29:11Watusimoto_extending by 20 secs is easy because that's what we do in other games
18:29:22Watusimoto_and forcing nexus to be open when in overtime should be pretty trivial
18:29:25raptorthen what happens if it is a tie again?
18:29:30Watusimoto_more overtime!
18:29:54raptorwhich common sports guarantee a win? hocky?
18:29:56raptor*hockey
18:30:00Watusimoto_a single game could last years!
18:30:11Watusimoto_world cup soccer
18:30:13Watusimoto_baseball
18:30:21Watusimoto_hockey (I think)
18:30:57Watusimoto_superbowl
18:31:10raptorbaseball, that's right
18:31:53raptori read three books over the weekend
18:32:01Watusimoto_table tennis
18:32:03Watusimoto_wow
18:32:05raptor'childhoods end' by arthur clarke
18:32:16raptor'the sirens of titan' by kurt vonnegut
18:32:48raptor'do androids dream of electric sheep' by philip dick
18:33:21raptornot sure I really like many of them - probable the electric sheep one the best
18:34:01Watusimoto_I didn't like blade runner very much, made from that book
18:34:09Watusimoto_old sci fi always feels so dated
18:34:15raptori would not recommend 'the sirens of titan' unless you wanted to be taken on a weird acid trip
18:34:22Watusimoto_talking about a future that is no longer plausible
18:34:30raptorhaha, yeah
18:34:31Watusimoto_all the smokers in foundation, for example
18:34:37raptoryup
18:34:52raptorall these books were scifi books from the 50s/60s
18:35:04raptoronly 150-250 pages each
18:36:22raptori haven't seen blade runner yet
18:38:20Watusimoto_ok, dinner time
18:38:22Watusimoto_back later

21:44:00SkybaxYeah
21:44:03SkybaxLast week
21:44:05raptorsunflower seeds? I have a friend who will be on his deathbed if he eats anything that came into contact with sunflower seeds
21:44:22SkybaxWell I got hives yesterday and all I ate like that entire day was apple sauce
21:44:33raptorthat's weird
21:44:42SkybaxYeah
