No doubt on my mind that your intentions are innocent and pure, but talk about sep7agon DLC and season passes is still more something for the Flood forum. Moving the thread.

Yeah, looks like a pretty obvious scam. The website even presents itself with a "are you sure you want to leave" message when you try to close it. Don't fall for it, folks. Best to stay away from the links too. My antivirus didn't go off when I checked it out, but better safe than sorry. No need for this to stay locked when the links are gone, though.

I really don't understand this idea of there being some secret circlejerk going on where staff members are picked based entirely on the personal ties with the current mods. Because if such a thing really exists, I must have missed it for the entire duration of me being a member here and somehow ended up as a (master) ninja without being part of it.
I became a monitor, mod and master mod without being part of any other forum, group or chat (other than our very own staff chat eventually). While I got along with many of the people here, I never had to rely on relationships to make that happen. I never sucked up, kissed ass or was part of some smaller group that led to me being on the staff and yet here I am.
The one thing that I've been advocating here from way before I became a staff member is transparency. While some things necessarily need to be kept somewhat private, I always thought and said that the staff needs to be open about what takes place "behind the scenes", and I feel like I've done a pretty decent job at doing so, hence this long explanatory post.
This decision is not the result of us mods and admins laughing loudly while discarding the community's wishes and picking our own friends from the circlejerk skype group. What it is, is the outcome of hours of talks in the mod skype chat and a number of threads in the HQ board dedicated to this alone. Everyone of us put in their own picks and we talked extensively about why we thought which candidates would make the best choices.
As LC already mentioned, Kupo and Kitsune aren't close friends with the staff or part of an imaginary circlejerk. For example, my interaction with Kupo has been limited to a few posts in the Gaming forum, and with Kitsune to a single request by PM to lock a thread of hers. While other mods might talk to them more often, I can assure you that their promotion is not the result of cronyism / friend politics.
This time around, we weren't looking for new moderators. As already been shown earlier, just because someone is a monitor does not mean that they'll end up as a mod. As a result of this, we looked for people who could be a friendly face of the community. People with the time and energy to show new members the ropes, to voice community concerns, recruit new members, lay ties with other communities and to keep their eyes open to occasionally move or lock a thread when it's necessary and there are no mods around.
As it stands, we felt that Kupo and Kitsune are both active members who are generally liked by the community as a whole, make a good "friendly face", can attract new members and are capable of doing all of the things I mentioned above. As such, they're now given a chance to show us whether we made the right decision. They'll of course be evaluated and we welcome all community criticism and advice.
Just because you didn't get picked this time, doesn't mean that we think you're a terrible candidate whose application will be discarded next time around.
To conclude*, here's the official Flee's Tips and Tricks On Becoming a Monitor or Staf Member™:
- Be active. While this definitely isn't the most decisive criterium, it matters quite a bit. Post often and in all the different boards too. We don't pick mods / monitors for just a single section of the site, so try to branch out a little if you almost exclusively stick to a single board or two.
- Contribute. Offer to help with things in the community and site whenever you can. Organize game nights, make youtube videos, write reviews, make news entries, host forum games, spread the word and recruit members, design stuff in photoshop and so forth. It shows commitment and helps you stand out.
- Show that you can be serious / responsible. Of course, make sure not to have a stick up your ass and don't take everything too seriously all the time either, but make clear that you have a more serious side too. It's very hard for us to make a proper assessment of your staff skills if all you do is memepost 24/7. You might have what it takes to the best and most diplomatic mod on the internet, but we can't exactly figure that out if you never show any signs of it.
- Stand up for what you believe in. Not in the sense of "DEATH BEFORE COMPROMISE", of course, but we do want a relatively diverse staff team that can give multiple perspectives on certain issues. Speak up if you believe something is wrong and suggest how to change it. Don't unnecessarily cling to something if it's not going to happen, but don't try to suck up to the staff. Speaking your mind in a reasonable and adult manner, pitching new ideas, coming up with your own solutions and civil disagreements with current policies go a lot further than always agreeing with what others say just because you think it'll make you a better candidate.
- Hit that report button when something breaks the rules. It shows us that you pay attention to the rules and that you want to help out by getting our attention.
- Be friendly. This doesn't mean you always have to agree with everyone, put smileys after each post and never get to take the piss out of something, but a generally friendly demeanor does go a long way. Nothing wrong with some obviously joking insults and arguments, but going off on raging tangents and insulting others when people disagree doesn't come across very well.
- Don't get too involved in drama / grudges / salt. When you spend enough time on here you are naturally going to get involved in some of it, but be sure not to let it get to you. Shitflinging, flamewars, holding grudges, insults and being salty when certain things don't go your way only makes people question your objectivity, neutrality and capability of letting things to when necessary. It doesn't speak in your favor when other members don't think you could be unbiased when dealing with certain members. It's a lot better when you can a let things go and be mature and understanding differences in opinion than when you keep grudges or throw a hissy fit over setbacks.
- And as cliche as it might be: have fun. It's the main reason we're all here, after all. The last thing we want is someone who might have the right skills for the task, but treats coming here as an unwelcome chore. We're all here to mess around, talk to people and have a good time (while still keeping things running smoothly and not to get out of hand), so just enjoy yourself.
tl;dr: be active, be nice, apply common sense, show that you could be responsible and capable of doing some mod stuff and have fun.
*Disclaimer: these are just some of the things that I'd recommend to those wanting to become a staff member. I'm not speaking for anyone else on the staff. And for those with absolutely no interest in this, you are obviously just as welcome to continue funposting and spreading the dankest memes on the world wide web.

can I use my school's wi-fi to look up naked pictures of an animated girl without getting caught Do you have to sign in to the network using a student ID or something similar? If no, you can use a VPN to get away with it. If yes, then there's nothing you can do to stop the school from logging your online activity. Whether you'll end up in trouble over it depends entirely on your school's policy. As far as I know, most larger colleges / universities only care about you using their network for illegal activities such as piracy. I doubt they'd care much about people using it to look up porn. if I get caught does this count as child pornography
Depends entirely on the country and state you live in.

I don't even know what a madara is but reading this makes me glad I'm not a weeb.
It's an /a/ meme that takes the piss out of narutards. 90% of that is pure gibberish iirc.
It begs the question though, who really is the strongest anime character? A quick google search out of curiosity revealed nothing.

Unless it's really grindy, I usually do. It's just a way to get more out of the game, imo. Not because I really care about gamerscore or such things, but they drive you to do things you otherwise wouldn't do. Play through certain levels without being detected at all, getting X amount of kills, discovering the entire game world, beating stuff under a certain time or at the highest difficulty, sometimes even playing through the game again to pick certain stuff up and so on... Makes me experience the game in more ways than I otherwise would by just playing through the game once and being done with it.

Windows Movie Maker. I know it doesn't sound very professional (because it isn't), but the things you're describing in your post are the absolute basics of video editing. WMM will work just fine for that and doesn't have much of a learning curve.

Lolno. Got the game, beat the campaign and got to level 20, realized that there was absolutely nothing left to do other than grinding and pretty bad PVP, sold the game within 10 days after launch. No regrets.

I think places like New York and Boston seem cool because I like cool cities.
Boston is polluted and gross. Fenway is literally the only nice part of the city.
OT: New Hampshire and Maine are extremely nice. Vermont is good too if you can deal with all the hippies and weird people.
You are literally the first person I have ever met who does not like Boston lol
Boston has two things going for it.
Tom Brady and the Dropkick Murphy's
Boston has the Bruins and Red Sox. Pats play in Foxborogh, which is a fair distance from Boston.

So, the previous owner left me:
Cresselia, Celebi, Uxie, Cobalion, the 3 tornado guys, a few starters, Raikou, Moltres, the Regi pokemon, Zekrom, Zygarde, Yveltal, Terrakion, Deoxys, Darkrai, Ho-oh and Latias.
Not bad, I could probably get some trades out of that.

I have a couple "event Pokemon" I can clone for you.
Event Pokemon are
Mew (have)
Celebi (have)
Jirachi (have)
Manaphy
Genesect
Keldeo
Victini
Meloetta
Shaymin
Darkrai (have)
Arceus
Diancie (have)
Hoopa
Thanks, I'll let you know if I'd end up needing any of those.

Between ORAS and XY you can catch almost every pokemon, event ones aside but that involves either buying four copies yourself or trading with people <.<
You can do an awful lot of it solo but you'll hit a point where you'd need to be trading with folks online <.<
I've got 98-99% of all of them, because I've traded a couple away at some point usually (100%d the pokedex) so if you are trying to get an elusive one then just ask and I'll fire up the 3DS >_>
Thanks Psy. Which pokemon are considered event pokemon / elusive ones?
Event pokemon are on this list sort of
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Event_Pok%C3%A9mon
Basically any that aren't standard legendaries available in other games = events
So genesect, victini, arceus, shaymin etc
Elusive ones are just ones that are a bitch to get, but they are available normally.
Makes sense. Which ones are more elusive than others? Version exclusive pokemon and such? Or are there just some with like a 0.1% appear or catch rate?
6809
« on: August 18, 2015, 07:25:37 AM »
Actually, if you want a living dex you're best off getting ORAS too
Yeah, that's the plan. My girlfriend has X, I have Y. Once we get through these games, we're probably gonna get ORAS and continue there.
