  1. I think we got the point across here, don't want to turn this into a giant negativity pit of unproductive meanness at people being human. If there's something worth saying, KakerShot will inform the community on it. Otherwise, private conversations stay private. Locking.
  2. You could always try. It would bring back old memories. OP: If things are progressing, Technic Team doesn't like to flaunt private conversations.
  3. ..... Note to self, never help SoulikDERPDERPDERP again. He's no help at all. I'm not sure if you're seriously this dense, but here's yet another way of putting it: No one here knows what video you're talking about. Provide a link to it. Holy hell how many times have we spelled it out.
  4. I homebrew mead (it's legal up to 200 gallons for private consumption in the state I live in) and I know very little about chemistry. Just toss in honey, water, some other stuff for flavor & ensure the yeast grows, activate some yeast, toss it all in a 1-gallon wine jug, put a rudimentary air lock on it, wait 3 months and voila! Your very own 12%+ alcoholic honeywine of the [Vikings, East/South Asians, Ethiopians, pretty much any civilization on the Eurasian/African continent] EDIT: The pulp your paper is made out of is fermented before it is turned into paper.
  5. Why Xylord is a blobfish and not a theoretically immortal Turritopsotolopholis Something-something beats me.
  6. They increase the reactor hull durability by 100, can itself store 10,000 and redistribute heat evenly between adjoining water cells. All in all, most people craft integrated reactor plating in order to turn it into an integrated heat disperser, which is much more useful.
  7. No I'm not you slandering viking. Don't derail this thread because there's been very few theories about killing people in full Quantum Armor.
  8. The problem with account authentication is that it isn't anything on our end. The login info is immediately sent to Mojang, and that's where the login authentication is done. I'd send Mojang customer support an email. (Make sure to try in a vanilla minecraft login screen first and let us know how that goes?)
  9. Keep it to your bug report. Be patient. We're not a huge community with thousands of people on at a time. And we certainly don't have tech support.
  10. Baked brie inside of bread with cinnamon and small amounts of sugar, baked, and then served with crackers, apple slices etc is delicious.
  11. And SimpleGuy. Why does no one remember me. EDIT: Everyone is now banned.
  12. For air-based bases I always build a layer of dirt completely flat under whatever "ground level" it is I'm building. Reason is that without being able to fly the only way to place blocks on the underside of the airborne "ground level" is by having other blocks already exist under you (or by placing enough sand/gravel to build up a post from which you can build off of). However, if you want to build a "space elevator" type of thing with railcraft then the blocks you use to make the elevator you can use to build downwards from the "ground level". As for themes, "hanging gardens" is always pretty but very common. Could build it over a RedPower volcano and have the focal point be a pillar of lava that streams from the center of the airborne base down to the top of the volcano. Could have a "mirrored" design where your base on the topside of the "ground level" is reflected on the underside of the "ground level" (at least from the outside). Could make a giant statue on the the underside of your base standing on the true ground with giant hands that hold up the "ground level"... except have your "ground level" float above the hands. Just crazy ideas for you.
  13. Well here's to a hopeful recovery:
  14. Gentlemen and/or Ladies, I highly suggest hashing this issue out in a respectful manner in private. It's OK to post your experience good or bad. It's OK to show what justifications were used in a moderative action on a server. However, it is NOT OK for either side to call people scam artists or idiots. It makes server owners look unprofessional and players full of entitlement. Start throwing around fighting words in public or PMs and the mod team will start throwing around hammers. I really shouldn't have to say all this, but consider it a very lucky "gentle" reminder.
  15. It's definitely not maybe will for sure never possibly sometime.
  16. I thoroughly enjoyed dancing to this.
  17. Here's the bottom line: TechnicPack exists, not for the benefit of KakerMix and Cheapshot but for the benefit of the players and the mod authors. Hosting 2 TB worth of data pull a day (2 TB bandwidth/day!) out of their own pockets, allowing those so-called "dumb users" (which is a 1990's programmer's notion) to do a 1-click wonder of installing their favorite mods, allowing users to add mods they otherwise wouldn't be aware of and discovering them, and putting mod authors' donating links on the front page and on the technic pack launcher main page. Believe me, you aren't the first person to come in here asking your questions. And you certainly are just as biased coming in here as your predecessors, although far less vulgar. The bottom line is this: What are the mod authors losing out on by the Technic Pack existing? Personal fame & glory? That's a personal issue getting in the way of fun. Nothing should get in the way of the user's fun, ever. Not me, not mod authors injecting malicious code, nothing. EDIT: The bottom line is this, permission for many of the mods has been given. Those quotes you sling around like a heavyweight champ are old news. KakerMix and Cheapshot don't feel the need to publicly tout these permissions because Minecraft and Modding has never been about glorifying Java programmers, nor creating a rift between them for giving vs not giving perms (because sadly, some people have that much capacity for hatred). It's about modifying and adding rich content to a game and allowing users to extend their fun. Always.
  18. Sounds like The Onion articles. Except there's a dedicated website to people that is dedicated to people that don't realize The Onion is satire.
  19. Gender: [X]Boy [ ]Girl How old are you? 22 Do you have a PC or Mac? [X]PC [X]Mac What kinds of games do you like? [ ]Action [ ]Shooters [ ]RPG [ ]Horror [X]Sandbox [X]Simulators [X]2D [X]Strategy Are you currently playing any games on a regular basis? [ ]Yes [X]No Name 2 games you like the most. EvE Online for its realistic graphics, sci-finess, and cutthroat atmosphere created by the players. Technic/Tekkit for its simplistic graphics, technical-orientedness, and how every server can have a different atmosphere depending on players. How many hours do you spend daily in front of the computer? [ ]none [ ]1-2 hrs [ ]3-5 hrs [ ]5-8 hrs [X]more than 8 hrs (Hint: not playing games) Do you consider yourself to be addicted to computer? [ ]Yes [X]No What do you like best about a game? Any game where the devs let the players create the world around them (CCP style, not Arena Net style. I can clarify if needed). This includes minecraft and Tekkit. EDIT: To clarify! (wall O text incoming) First let me explain the concept of phase space: Phase space is a fancy term for describing the range of states something can be in. If you look at atoms classically as having momentum and position, then phase space size is on order of number of atoms raised to the total possible combinations of position and momentum for each atom (hint: that's a very big number). Arena Net and GW2 basically created the entire world of Tyria over again and hand-crafted events for players to do, with worldly consequences already predetermined. Killing a bunch of centaurs for the Seraph? You won't see them stationed in their forts anymore because Arena Net made it that way when you drove them out. That loot you got? Also predetermined RNG choices Arena Net decided. So it's safe to say that Arena Net created a hard-coded world with hard-coded phase space (remember adding that third state to a light switch?). I'd imagine there's only so much a programmer can do, so phase space is on order of world events raised to the average number of states each event has. Now a game that CCP makes, EvE, has the framework for the world and some basic NPC zones, but from there tells players to survive. So if players A want a certain location, they literally fight players B and tear down everything B has done. What changes in the world? B got pooped on, loses their location, and A gets more resources (which then affects an economy not governed by loot drops or RNGs) from that location. CCP didn't tell A or B what to do or dictate how it would affect the game world. Also, your NPC missions and such can be affected by how factional warfare is played out (which again, is entirely up to the players fighting for the faction), the consequences of which are not exactly predetermined by CCP. I would argue the phase-space for EvE online is the number of players raised to the number of choices they make power. In short, the fact that the players in EvE control the game's state (phase space) daily while Arena Net singlehandledly hardcoded the possible game states (phase space) is why I mentioned the CCP vs Arena Net style of "players impacting world". Arena Net derived their world in set NPC and event combinations, while CCP derived their world's states through the players themselves. This is NOT meant to derail the thread at all, keep this guy goin' on his English project!
  20. So when vikings raided England and Scotland, you stole the tradition of golf of all things? I just imagine a viking warrior bursting into a fair young maiden's bedchambers, pushing the horrified woman out of the way and grabbing a bunch of golf clubs going "this will keep me entertained longer" and darting out.
  21. "Welcome to Whose Tekkit Is It Anyway, where everything is made up and the points don't matter." Edit: 3 points is the cutoff for a Kellering. Most offenses handed out are 1 point each. I tend to be fairly liberal, because who doesn't like to score big?
  22. Haha, love it all. If I had to pick a second to Yoko, it might be this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfCGu6hP5QA Not the best anime I've seen but the OP does it serious justice.
  23. I read sci-fi novels before it was cool. Oh wait - as long as people read books I'm happy. Reading is awesome, unless it is smut.
  24. Kind of the point, as it has its roots in an old joke.
  25. I'm still baffled by off topic. How do we go from "How does warning system work" to spoiling all but one of the mods' secrets?
