 Is this a real log from quite recently?

[traen]

 Is this a real log from quite recently?

Em, yeah, is it not allowed?

[MarshallDFX]

Nope.  Sorry.  At the very least, censor all the descriptions/names out.

[mansa]

I'm going to have to beat this.

[Gimfalisette]

Needs moar emotes. Or, y'know, any emotes at all.

[traen]

I cut some of them out originally, because I recalled there was a certain amount of censorship when posting.

[RogueGunslinger]

No it doesn't.

Doesn't "need" anything.

[Gimfalisette]

Having previously received a bad account note for not emoting while repeatedly doing a coded action, I will say, yes it does need emotes--at minimum, for the purpose of covering one's ass.

[mansa]

Account notes can't give you 6 hacks at a deposit, though!

[Synthesis]

That so-called record can't even remotely compare to the epic glasshacking you can get done with a certain magicker class.

[MarshallDFX]

*zing*!

[traen]

I wasn't really trying to sound epic, I was actually asking people to post their best glasshacking records.

[Marc]

Welcome to the holier than thou Armageddon community Traen.  Don't feed the trolls

[Synthesis]

How is that trolling?

I'm saying that, well, there is a massive upside potential to glasshacking that obviously the OP hasn't contemplated.  Also I suppose that I'm not particularly impressed...it's the equivalent of posting a brag about killing a raptor or something.

It was on-topic, and not inflammatory unless you've got really, really thin skin.

[deviant storm]

...I didn't really know any magicker class could do things with glass/obsidian deposits. Not sure I wanted to, either.

Actually, It is off-topic in my opinion, I posted this asking for people to share what their best glasshacking rates were. I -never- said nor did I brag that it was superior.

If you object then pray tell how:
"What's the best glass hacking or obsidian hacking streak you've gotten without resting?"
is bragging about my glasshacking.

Instead of sharing, or otherwise stating you won't be sharing, you've gone about with, again in my opinion, going off topic.

If nobody is actually planning on posting what was originally intended, then just let the topic die, I'm sorry I tried to get more active in GDB

Don't take it too hard ...

Obviously I'm saying that I've beaten it (the posted log) by leaps and bounds, and by referencing that magick was involved, that I can't post the log because it would involve far too much IC info.

If that isn't "on-topic," then today must be opposite day.

[brytta.leofa]

> tell inix (excitedly, waving ~hacker in a reckless fashion) It's flakin', Glompy!

That's a doggone good day, traen.

Magick doesn't count; it's spooky, and will give your children two heads and yourself two tails.

[Veges]

What a lovely thing for the in-game economy. A minute of repeated commands equals a high-ranked merchant's monthly wage. At the very least, don't be one of those people who over-mine and wait in the office every dawn to single-handedly wipe out the daily quota over and over again. I made a miner once and simply could not earn money through mining for two weeks because a group of players had set up a monopoly and covered most hours of the RL day.

Too bad the assassins don't accept glass chunks.

[Vessol]

Glass? Pft, I'm still hacking me some 'sid, haven't leveled up far 'nough to get to the glass-hacking zone.

[John]

Glass? Pft, I'm still hacking me some 'sid, haven't leveled up far 'nough to get to the glass-hacking zone.

Pfft. Back in my day we had to steal 'sid from link-dead newbs if we wanted any. Not like you young folks today where you get to just find it in the desert!

[Xagon]

Wait, noobs start with 'sid? How come I never started with any?!

[MarshallDFX]

Wait, noobs start with 'sid? How come I never started with any?!

Little known fact, you can actually get negative karma.

-1:  %30 less starting sid
-2:  %60 less starting sid
-3:  %100 less starting sid.

I'm sure I've got a log for worst clay-digging ever someplace.

...I didn't really know any magicker class could do things with glass/obsidian deposits. Not sure I wanted to, either.

Secret's out!  Woe and alas!  Now, the community will know that, yes!  Magickers secretly need jobs, too!

Joking aside, it's still a valid point.  Why does a magicker doe with a chunk of glass?  Maybe they sell it to the mining offices for enough 'sid to buy a drink/food for the day.

...or maybe they use it to construct tiny glass rats that scurry through the pipes beneath the city, collecting the cast-offs of society, wandering into homes to overhear secret conversations/mudsex sessions, or you know that creeping sensation up your spine when you see a magicker looking at you?  Glass mice, running up your back, so clear and finely done that you see right through them!

Back on topic, I've had some good days and some bad days, glasshacking.  At times, it seems like every time you strike, you crack off enough 'sid/glass to feed a family of five for a week.  Other times, it's like you can't break the surface of the deposite even with a jackhammer driven by a half-giant..and when you do, it's a piddlingly small piece that so horrifies the deposite it came from, that it covers it's self with sand and hides until the next spawn time comes up.

[Shalooonsh]

Traen, welcome to the GDB.  I hope this experience hasn't soured your experience with it.

For the record, yes, logs less than a year old are "not cool" to post on the GDB, or share with other game players in any other method.

The rest of you... really?  I'm wondering if this thread has won a record for the quickest degeneration into bickering of any GDB thread.  Mansa, do not research that, and do not post links to quicker degenerations.

Lets try to be a bit more civil in the future.  I am quite tempted to lock this thread, but I will give it a chance to be salvaged.

Pale Horse, thanks for giving me inspiration to learn how to code the Glass Rats O' Doom spell.

I once hacked five large glass chunks in a row with my poor-str elven merchant.

The sad part is, I had to leave them there.

The game's more about participating in a story than racking up any high-scores. That said, I can't be arsed into emoting after every 'use hacker deposit' myself.

Spamming 'use hacker deposit' ten times in under five seconds is clearly on the twinky side, and is usually frowned on.  If a staff member happens to be watching, they could do horrible things to your character as a response, and it also makes it less likely that you'll be tapped for sponsored apps or given karma. But the real reason not to do it is your personal enjoyment. The game is more fun when you make an effort at viewing situations 'realistically', or as much as possible given coded realities and OOC comfort.

Don't scare the newbie.

Disagree.

Spamming "use hacker deposit" ten times in 5 minutes means his character has been mining for only half an hour. How the hell that could be construed as "twinky" is beyond me.

[MarshallDFX]

If you were having fun glass-hacking, you shouldn't have!




Though, I might add that OP claimed he edited -out- the emotes.  So it's not so bad as y'all say.

Mis-communication.

Also--there is preventives in the code against gaining anything from spamming, just like there is for nearly everything else.

[number13]

It's possible there was some lag on my side that made it all spew out in 5 seconds, and with more 'use hacker deposits' than are seen in the OP's log.  There were no emotes.

EDIT: ...it's *really* not a big deal, in my mind. Just that the log was sitting here, on the GDB, so I decided to be an idiot and comment in public. Sorry!

[Kol]

I'm sure I've got a log for worst clay-digging ever someplace.

Bet I could beat it.


On topic though, everyone was a noob at somepoint (I am still a noob) and learning to emote properly takes time, not everyone is Malik, the master emoter, spewing out emotes quicker than a gatling gun shooting spears from the back of a 'Met. It takes time to cultivate even some speed with emotes, and when In a group, with people talking, emoting, coming and going, and what-not, it gets a little daunting trying to emote quick enough around the various aspects of others.

On a side note to Traen. Welcome to Arm, and keep an eye on Looonsh, if he comes at you with a knife, fork, herbs and spices, and a frying pan, RUN.
