From what I know barker is not a smurf account.

Permanent ban? Not 1 year or 2 years or smth like that? I dont think that is a good idea, because it probably will lead to Revnak trying to think about methods how he could damage esoc. A 1 year ban maybe would lead to him thinking about how he could work together better with the community after th...

It seems so silly that a reason for moderating could just be "because it broke the CoC". You need to actively show why it's harmful. Something breaking the CoC doesn't make it harmful or worth moderating on it's own.

On topic: I agree with Goodspeed. I believe Elite's method is effective for the moderators, I don't think it's effective for creating an environment for discussion and creating a community. Punishing the original poster for other being trolling in their responses just means the trolls have won. I th...

I, particularly, totally agree with deleting or closing a post that has become controversial. It is used very often in larger and more serious forums (for example, the official AoE forum) and is really effective, avoids problems, relieves the work of moderators and works as a way to direct the disc...

I still only have a few plays because it's a nightmare to schedule and playing Gloomhaven/Spirit Island/D&D is just as fun imo. I heavily recommend having more players rather than less. Strategy and negotiation work better in TI when there's more people because you have more time and possibiliti...

It's a crime how few and far between good co-op games are out there. It takes two is pretty great co-op game, not a RPG though. It's more of a game you play with your SO for leisure than a game you can min-max. It's not hard, but I had a good time playing it and goofing around. Also playing Slay th...

Harcha is making a good point, there are posts in this thread indeed breaking the forum rules. Unfortunately we don't have a rule against AI-generated posts yet, but we do have one about being respectful to one another. Praising Grunt is fine, piling up on other users, in this case Revnak, is not. H...

Kynesie being involved in event rules is ironic.

I understand where you are coming from, but the renewed focus on AoE3 and ESOC's culture means we have to put some past grievances behind us. We want to focus on how everyone in the community can contribute to the game we all (used to) love.

I've actually seen supermarkets with a "non-food" section where they sell magazines, plastic bags, soaps etc. I think it's really useful as long as it only one aisle.

How did he cheat?

With a vibrating dildo that's remote controlled, obviously

My house has hardly any isolation (we have single pane windows on one side of the house) so buying an AC would be an even bigger waste of electricity than normal. It did get to 35°C at one point but putting my feet in a bucket of cold water was all I needed really. The humidity is also at peak level...

@Goodspeed I would argue you should put Better Call Saul next to BB in the god tier if they don't fuck up these final few episodes.

Disco Elysium is a fantastic game, I highly recommend to it anyone who likes RPG's and/or reading.

Age of Empires 4 population seems to be slowly stabilizing, but at a low number.

Dressing in clean, good-looking clothes really helps me with working remote. I can't concentrate well when I'm in no/old clothes or in just a bathrobe or something.

C u guys in the fields These memes don't water themselves, y kno https://i.imgur.com/vGZ7H5B.jpg Gotta tend to them *thwack thwack* Poatatos gon be gud this year.

I say let the AIs loose on ESOC and see what happens

1. I don't understand why you need to plan it in advance. Amounts? Cooking for 1 person vs 4 makes for a very different grocery shopping list. 2. You keep talking about your closest friends, but what about strangers? Would you offer them food? Why would you have a stranger in your house? Do you not...

Is this actually true? It seems insane to me. Before corona it was very common for me and my friends to eat at someone else's place, I've had entire weeks I didn't eat at home. But since we were all poor, sending a Tikkie (payment request) or filling in Wiebetaaltwat (app where you all fill in your...

Lmao that's small, thanks

[mention]u348[/mention] Great job on fixing the quotes and all other parts of the phpbb upgrade! Question: is it possible to have quotes link to the post instead of the author? It saves the post_id but that isn't used at all currently. I think a link to the post is more useful than to the author if ...

I can wholeheartedly recommend a standing desk.

Lmao nice job @Sergeant_Recker
