It's considered an exploit. As a rule of thumb, if you have to ask if something is ethical, then there's a pretty good chance it isn't.

I kind of agree with [ ] SGT D00M! on this one. As a moderator Dredd77 should not be using banned words. The rest of the argument I will stay out of. Fair play, you're right. I edited my post. Thank you for keeping me accountable.

There's a few War Robots pilots out there enjoying another comparable F2P title, Robokrieg, which has some interesting differences. Today's feature on MECH*SPECTRUM takes a look!

There is a language filter on this forum for a reason. As a moderator I would have expected Dredd77 to understand that. Example "Bye ?female dog?" Free stuff all you want, but your title is "Moderator". As in to MODERATE conflicts; not intiate them. Thanks for the guidance, very timely and useful. I don't see any further point to hashing things out in this thread. I think we just both need to take a moment to appreciate what the other person brings to the table, and call it a day. I'll be locking this thread at 6pm anyway.

Thanks. And when you deliver eight hundred dollars worth of digital goods to the great people that make this community amazing- getting nothing for yourself in return- rather than sitting on the sidelines and moaning about how they were handed out, I'll be the very first to say the same about you. Until then... [SNIPPED]

Dredd77 said: Typical Dredd77 drivel, with condecending tone and an an insulting "funny" gif.Thanks for making stuff available. You missed my tongue-in-cheek comment at the end and butted into a conversation that was between me and Vindictive999 . Yes, you have a great blog, and have done some great stuff for the forum, but as a Mod, putting down forum members is pretty ?firetruck?ing lame and I'm really tired of it. Want to be snarky? Give up your little pink title, be a regular member and you and I can snark it up till the cows come home. Otherwise feel free to NOT comment on my posts, including this one. You're posting in a public forum, so prepare for public responses, Skippy. Otherwise, if it's a private wee chat you're after, we do offer a robust Private Message interface here where you never have to worry about anyone else "butting in" to your discourse. I'm sorry, but pink title or no, you don't get to whine here without response. You want contests to run differently? Then I invite you to run something other than your mouth. Nothing's stopping you- except you.

To those unhappy about missing updates, I feel you. I'd encourage you to head over to MECH*SPECTRUM and subscribe. Any and everything newsworthy we can find will be posted there. Indeed, we had a news flash about this very contest.

Whats wrong with popularity contests? You want everyone to just get a participation award? That's what a popularity contest IS. How about based on something tangible like accomplishmens? I get the point, but the forums have not had any decrease in whining or increase in GOOD advice (lots of well intentioned bad advice though) so what is the point? When the Influence Points came out and people saw this massive grind to get a WW bot, and the miniscule drips of IP they could get from things like inviting friends, many were very disappointed and/or frustrated. So shaolinrogue and I have a contest here over the course of which sixteen people will be splitting a pot of 81,000 IP. 81,000. Seventeen Jesses, a Doc, and a Butch's worth. For free. Do you think you can do better? Do you feel your hard work has allowed you to have a better relationship with the game's developers so that you can deliver prizes of your own? If so, are you willing to put in the legwork and coordinate the whole thing? No...?

Here it is, the first elimination round of the Mr/Ms Influence competition! Each day this week I'll post two head-to-heads (staggered to avoid forum spam), and they'll close two days later.
This poll will run until Thursday evening.
Good luck!

Things like this make me really wish this guy wasn't such a cancer, because the creativity and production in this video- and some of his other work- is about as good as it gets. This was amazing work.

Conspiracy time: What if Pixonic has coded in a random chance of this happening once you reach a certain gold savings threshold? This doesn't happen to everyone who saves gold of course but maybe to a small percentage of the playerbase so that they can reduce a massive amount of gold out in the game world at any point and just risk alienating a very small % of their playerbase. This is not a good conspiracy theory.

Wow, thanks for the nomination guys. I'm a little beside myself, even if I did get in by coin toss. Sincerely, to all of you that voted - thank you! May I ask Dredd77 who was the other nominee who lost the coin flip? Perhaps we can honour them with an honourable mention? Sure! It was drake1588

Sorry, bud. Some fantasy is cool to me, but some is just a little too trippy for my taste. Legend, Neverending, Labyrinth, and Dark Crystal all fall in that "....wha???" 1980's fantasy realm for me. Just a little out there for my tastes. I'm not judging anyone who likes them. They're just not my thing. Dude! Dude. Can I ask that you only use the most referential tones when speaking of The Dark Crystal? Can you not appreciate the utter brilliance of Jim Henson at his best? I mean c'mon. Amazing film. Don't know if you're aware, but a Netflix series for it is in development.

Dredd77 is your avatar one naked man picking his nose while another naked man watches with creepy intensity? You and Golden Sabre and your avatars, man. You guys need Jesus. Or therapy. Or court-ordered round-the-clock surveillance. Cause you guys are just sooo wrong. ? It's a little fun between mods and we hope y'all get a kick out of it too Let the record show that Golden Sabre was the first to revert his avatar back to something liveable.

Or court-ordered round-the-clock surveillance. Cause you guys are just sooo wrong. ? Btw, on the 「Tempest Raijin」 thing...personally, I was on the fence when I first saw it. I totally get what you're saying about it because that was my first reaction, too. But for better or worse, it's pretty common for gamers to say they got "g「grape」" when another player annihilates them. My gf, who is extremely sensitive about mistreatment of women, as am I, plays Warcraft and is always saying "I just g「grape」 the ?firetruck? out of xxxx" when she destroys an Alliance player. I'm pretty sure that's the sense in which he meant it, not something vile. Just my two cents. (And you know, that and a loan from the bank will buy you a cup of coffee from Starbucks.) Edit: Hey, lookit that, I got tags to work!! Skillz, bruh! That avatar is Stallone and Urban in the shower. It's a pun on washing dreads/Dredds. Don't blame me, I didn't choose it. As for the other matter, what is common in the rest of onlinedom isn't necessarily common here, and that's by design. The originators of this place wanted a more civil and civilized forum when they made it, and I agree with that vision. I agree with you about the OP's intent, which is why I gave him a verbal note in this thread rather than run him up the flagpole with an official warning. This job is a nice split between giving the benefit of the doubt, and enforcing the standards. As for your wife, tell her to keep up the good work. #fortheHorde

As a follow up to my other thread (of sort) I noticed that most players now kind of stand still (jumps occasionally) and shoots. And I mean really still haha. Not just 1 or 2 games, but over a number of games I played yesterday. And not just laser and treb players - pins, hydra, tulums, guns alike. I'm IOS D3, and most of the players in those few games I played yesterday were within my league too. Was it like this in Android when the update just started? Is it still like this? Will this be the style of play until some new updates, dash for example. I don't know since IOS just got updated. Anyway, I play my usual hanger, 4 fast bots (incl 1 pinata gep lol) and 1 tarancilot. Mostly hit and run tactic. Im happy enough to hurt reds (support role of sort), kill isn't important to me (my team mates take cares of that). Beacons are still my priority. A few games proved to be disastrous while others I actually still shine ?. So your play style with this update? 「Tempest Raijin」 Hate to go all PC police on you, friend, but that term isn't gonna fly here. Mind finding another?

Not much surface area for any kind of theme . I think it looks okay. Better than no paint job . Disagree. I find this paint worse than the default. IT's got a terrible 90's feel, but I don't hate that they made it. It's just not for me

What in the everlovin HECK is that kid doing to that horse?!? That animation is messed up, man. Omg...I just realized, by now there'd be generations of kids that wouldn't recognize that scene! Makes me feel old. *spoiler kids loses a horse but gets a fluffy dragon with the head of a Labrador. Kids: movies you probably missed but must see, Star Wars was not the only old movie made: - Neverending Story - The Goonies - Scarface - Heat - American Psycho. American Psycho is an "old movie."

We had 'em every week but the last, they sorta tapered off there. Probably fair to say the contenders had already been counted. Sigh, if only I had found it in my heart to be nice to all you whiny ?roast beef?s...

Party peoples, time to get yer vote on! Who do you think should be in the running for Mr./Ms. Influence?
Each voter may choose up to three entrants.
Top four will be the Fourth-Week Winners and get 3500 Influence Points!
ALSO, and this is important- when we go to the final "bracket of sixteen," we will be using a seeding process. The four winners of Week Four will be considered seeds 13-16 (by order of votes), so vote accordingly!
Good luck to all, poll closes on Sunday, then it's time for the Final Rounds!
