mike_c: <+kakobrekla> making people think. always a dubious idea. << also, minigames require no thought :)
mike_c: it's like an option. a guy who buys the option early is buying time value.
kakobrekla: making people think. always a dubious idea.
mike_c: in any case, point is that there is a shifting balance that rewards paying attention at multiple points through the game as opposed to rewards just decreasing over time.
punkman: mike_c, is there a reason it doesn't have any sort of time weight when buying shares?
mike_c: a recognized one. it's currently a polling architecture. i want to switch it to sockets, which would speed it up.
mike_c: well that's a problem!
punkman: is it one minigame at a time for everyone?
mike_c: punkman: well, bids are based on what makes it into a block. could you describe what you mean a bit?
BingoBoingo: mike_c: Yeah. I'm noticing the bomb mechanics seem vulnerable to last minute sniping with a bid one unit higher. I dunno if time weight or maybe making bomb type a chance based on the size of life or death pools might make things more interesting

benkay: <mp_on_a_boat> benkay:fucking disgusting, and yet. <<< i guess you never told a girl "if you throw up im going to make you fucking eat it up" and then carried through ? // lol no sir
mp_on_a_boat: "Every time a new startup launches, or a new software project announces, ask one question: “Does this new thing improve the black market?”
mp_on_a_boat: anyway, excellent point from justusranvier. at this rate ima end up a negligible voice in this space or some shit.
mp_on_a_boat: the bezzle economy is a crime against humanity.
mp_on_a_boat: Those of us who do not participate in the underground economy are often unaware of its breadth: it grew to include one half of the world’s workers by 2009, and is projected to include two-thirds of workers by 2020. << this is important. i make it a point to contribute whenever possible. my cards here for instance ? paid cash, no paper trail, 20% discount for me and so another hundred bucks added to the free world.

justusranvier: mp_on_a_boat: There are always outliers.

asciilifeform: mp_on_a_boat: why'd you snip the end off the cocksnipper tale? it has a proper end.

benkay: get a job yet?
benkay: subject of dogs, my monster was just eating breakfast when something happened outside that caught his attention. he howled at it but with a throat full of food so it came out in this hilariously muffled "wooooOOoOooOOoo", after which he coughed his food up onto the floor, 'cause naturally the body doesn't like doing all of those things at the same time.

BingoBoingo: Everyone needs to know a corner of derps
