Forums! The Musical

Just for some alternate input, I disabled Firefox's native pop-up blocker, disabled the AdBlock Plus add-on, and disabled NoScript and began clicking around the wiki. No pop-ups at all. So I have two possible solutions: 1. Spiff fixed the problem, or 2. You may have some malware on your computer. We...

I think stickers should be reserved to select annual events (like Yule and account anniversaries) and prominent one-time events (like Beta release, first-time donations, and Gobb's "court-order-is-finally-lifted" day(s). If there are stickers offered for nearly every real-life event or holiday, ther...

lol. Maybe the person who "found" your iPod used the browser's cache to send you a message?

Fuck you.

/me sees something awfully familiar about oink's post, but can't quite put his finger on it...

A very interesting link, Gobb. Thank you. So it appears that till is just in fact a very, very, very old version of until , and 'til is a more recent abbreviation of it. So despite the fact that I think it looks incorrect, it technically still is. Still, it would be nice if it would stop being used....

Marcros. Duh. :facepalm:

Does this mean we may see a mobile version of Paradox at some point in the future?

Thanks everyone! Especially R2!! I hope you all had as much fun reading my story as I had fabric... er, I mean writing it! I certainly enjoyed reading all of the others.

I drink fairly often. And when I've been drinking, sometimes when I chat, I lose a few letters (or keystrokes. lol) So I was thinking. Would it be possible to make it so that if you type /game in the chat that it would assume you're wanting to chat in /games and just go ahead and do it? Yeah. That's...

bumped for update

For as long as I've been writing, if I ever had to abbreviate the word "until," I would do it as "'til" instead of the seemingly more popular method of "till." The reason for this is because the "un" is removed and replaced with an apostrophe. This is the same logical truncation that is made with ne...

You're right, Gobb. These aren't the droids I'm looking for. I'm apparently getting my ointpments and smrTPills mixed up, which could prove quite interesting in real life. Move along. Move along.

Not-at-all-magic markers and SCYTHES OF DOOOOOOM (for my showcase collection)

(Or, if you're feeling generous, a placable platypus.)

Where do babies come from?

Okay. Just browsed through this thread and have 2 things to add: 1. When viewing a player's profile, could it indicate if that player is showing their respect to you? Currently it says: <playername> currently has X-Y respect (X positive, Y negative). You currently [respect|disrespect|have no opinion...

First of all, I have to admit that this is a mostly true story. I have exaggerated and embellished a few of the more mundane points to make it just a little bit more interesting. It all took place many, many years ago (I'd say I was maybe 10 or so) when I got my first chemistry set for Christmas. I ...

you apparently can't type very ell either.

Just so you know, all that stuff you said about needing to walk away for a while, I totally guessed that's what you were doing. (Do I win a prize?!) I can see how trying to code and debug an entire online game whilst still trying to maintain your sanity in real life and all that comes with it could ...

I'm collecting not-at-all-magic markers and SCYTHES OF DOOOOOOM. Click here for details.

On the "Inventory (Consumables)" page, the oinTPment is listed as "ointpment" instead of of its proper capitalized version.
(EDIT: Also in the Pharmacologicopaediatorium. Is this a permanent change?)

I don't know how the dev team will react, but I'll give my personal opinion. First off, a special "introduction" package of items may encourage players to just start creating new accounts just to get the items and then leave the account dormant. Even though this kind of activity could be tracked and...

Drat. I had a feeling I would miss it. Curse those hookers.

Maybe it actually just needs a comma after "kind"?

This "real-life" bullcrap is kicking my ass big time. Between two jobs, a wife, kids, a mortgage, and burying dead hookers, I have barely any time at all to fiddle around with games on the computer. Whenever I actually do have time to get on the computer, it's usually just to look at some midget gra...

I lost a lot of self-esteem back in the '90s. Other than that, I would say my high school yearbooks and scrapbooks from my childhood vacations. ...And all my Star Wars toys from when I was a kid; although they weren't really "lost," they kind of "disappeared" after I got my BB gun and discovered fir...

First off, I apologize to mack for completely stealing his thread. (Really, I am sorry) But I think if you had more turns remaining than turns available the bar would just merely be filled to 100% (indicating you could go the rest of your turns without it running out) And as for filling up the charp...

Here's an idea: How about a little progress bar under the effect that shows the approximate percentage of remaining turns. For example, say you have 200 turns remaining to play and you have 100 turns of any particular effect, there would be a bar filled to the 50% mark. And, after you adventured for...

Not to sound like I'm making excuses to not do some spading, but would it be a good idea first to make sure those drop rates will remain the same after Beta is released? After all, Gobb could very well have the whole system revamped and all the data we will have collected could be null and void. I'd...

Man, I don't even get a "lol"? You guys are tough.

Okay, well try these pants on for size (or at least just look at them if you prefer not to wear pants). This is most definitely a post-beta project, but how about at the far right end of the header for each section, you have a button that expands/collapses said section (This system could also be use...

Just my $0.02: I like it at the bottom. Using Gobb's suggestion, I've moved the divider up a bit. I also run at a high screen resolution (1600x1200) and keep my browser on a small font size. Even with the divider moved up, there's still plenty of room for adventure stuff. Personally, I like it the w...

When viewing a profile, would it be better to entirely omit a section a player has chosen not to display? For players who choose not to display anything, it just makes their profile look... well, horrid. I think if you're viewing a profile and you don't see a section on their weapon proficiencies, y...

lol, Cowboy: "You have a donkey on your head." I love it.

Edit: (50 words exactly!) Paradox the Corn Flakes has all the vitamins and nutrients I need to keep me going all day. Although the box claims (or at least used to claim) a newer, healthier version would be available on June 30th, I have faith that the makers will come out with it eventually . Origin...

I'm Back, Bitches!!! Mwahahaha!!!

...er, I mean... *ahem* ...Frontier got me hooked up. It's so nice to be able to feed my addiction again. Thanks to everyone who gave a shit. And took a shit. And laid some cable. Or whatever. I'm glad to be back.

More than likely, none of you have noticed I haven't been very active on the forums or even logged on to Paradox for a few weeks now. For those of you that actually have noticed, you are officially a stalker. Please seek help. The reason being is that I have a situation right now where I don't have ...

If Gobb would be willing to implement some sort of channel-specific banning, then, as a joke, any player should be allowed to ban anyone from /jokes, if only for a minute or so. Yes, people would abuse it, but it would be funny, and that would be the point, but it would (hopefully) get old fast, so ...

bumped for update

Okay. Totally awesome idea: A Holopet that instead of occasionally dropping specific equipment, it drops Rock, Paper, and/or Scissor cards that are non-tradeable. They could start as a simple "Plain Rock Card" but when you challenge another player and you win over their "Plain Scissor Card" you woul...

So could you get banned if your joke isn't funny?

What? Sorry I don't understand, Mack. If very few players are selling one particular item, they could charge a high amount for it since there is little competition. If hundereds or even thousands of players are all selling one particular item, there is a battle for the lowest price (undercutting) t...

Sounds like milk farming could be a lucrative business for a player that wants to make some Moolah.
You could just go buy a bunch from *cough* *cough* Masterkiller's store. He has a whole bunch. *cough* *cough* ...ahem.

Hmm. I don't know which way to critique this. On one hand, it is a very interesting idea. Personally, I could see an item like a suitcase that could just hold up to X of any equipment items (not trying to steal your thunder here, cowboy). On the other hand, the whole reason for reset restrictions is...

S'alright. I had a couple beers in me when I typed that. I just read it now and even I think I sound kinda like a jerk.

Mmmm... beer. It's got it's good points, but it's got some bad stuff in there, too. -hic-

Epic win.

Please post here when this is changed so I can edit the wiki. Not to sound like a complete douchebag, but Gobb's got a LOT on his plate right now with his medical condition and Beta progress. I would suggest just giving it a go in chat every now and then as see if it's implemented. Even though he a...

Beta-blockers, not-a-tumor, low cerebellum. These all sound like potential items/effects that could be implemented in the Paradox University Medical Department. See this post for more info. Also, I wish you the best of luck with your medication and condition. My wife gets migraines all the time from...

When a macro is created and entered into the "COMMAND" box and a TEST is conducted, the RESULT is merely an echo of the COMMAND text. Observe: 1. Enter "/trade /me wants to buy *all* your base so they are belong to me." into the COMMAND 2. Click TEST The RESULTS window merely shows: /trade /me wants...

That pretty much exactly what I was asking. I just don't have the time to do it. This real-life stuff keeps getting in the way of my online shenanigans. Thank you for picking up the reins. I'm looking forward to reading it.
