pLambert: HIF just released
their quarterly staement, price is dropping like a rock
BingoBoingo: Eh, maybe
they just got bored being in a large guild
that has already "won"
the game?
mircea_popescu: i mean don;'t get me wrong, im not butthurt or anything, join a 2 year old game and own
the
top guild on one shard within what, 4-5 months is not
trivial.
Shakespeare: yeah i wouldnt get
too wrapped up in "fixing" gamer behavior
mircea_popescu: i guess if i go looking for it,
the "they're just retarded"
theory actually has a lot of support.
mircea_popescu: i've have enough of my hands full being pretty much...
the marketmaker
there. it's fucking ridiculous with
these people.
mircea_popescu: well
that's
the
thing, i'm not about
to spend a
ton of
time derping in guild chat or w/e.
Shakespeare: i started guilds, i rose
to rank and
to leader in some
Shakespeare: as soon as
they hit any kind of obstacle or friction
they will first
think, well should i just own it myself?
artifexd: Maybe he/she wants
to be revered. It is easier
to be
the big fish in a small pond.
mircea_popescu: im
tempted
to
think
that people are by now so fucking blinded by
the idiocy of
the us system
that rather
than aspire
to live,
they aspire
to one day be
the ones
to give
the orders.
mircea_popescu: ie, i doubt if you ask
the
total guild population (somehow) half know im
the leader
Shakespeare: yeah, i mean if it's just random
turnover, well you cant stop
that
mircea_popescu: then
they joined
the other guild. im like wtf you dummies, you
three go join
two dudes in a lvl 4 guild ? why don't
they join you in your lvl 13 guild wtf.
mircea_popescu: some earlier dudes (whgich is when istarted suspecting i may have a problem) wanted permission
to raid with some other guild. i was like fine
Shakespeare: as in, can lowly noob be directed
to education?
mircea_popescu: now part of it could be bad ui, i guess. but part of it is just incomprehensible
to me
mircea_popescu: chick in question ? didn't even know all
this.
tho it's on
the fucking guild wall
mircea_popescu: guild rank 4. he gets
to organise raids, and has access
to special guild vault of raids supplies.
mircea_popescu: Shakespeare well yes but for instance
there's
the institution of legatus milites
Shakespeare: dunno if any of
that helps, but
those are my most immediate
thoughts
Shakespeare: some guilds would
try
to
tackle catering
to all
these
things
Shakespeare: generally all
these
things are offering relevance
Shakespeare: that lends
to having an organizational structure
Shakespeare: i do better solo, and work on my rating
that way
Shakespeare: some people want
to have fun, be social,
this requires regular opportunity
to be part of an active and communicating group
Shakespeare: some people want
to excel, whether achieved or not,
they aspire
to be a
top raider
Shakespeare: people play for different reasons, you cant cater
to all of
them
ozbot: A virtual socioeconomic problem pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
rithm: that's a real line of
text
too
rithm: recently in #bitcoin-mining: <Meldrysha> i bought a antminer u2+. but cgminer or bfg miner cant find
the antminer. can anyone help me with my bad english?^^
gribble: asciilifeform ystarnaud sitting in a
tree, k-i-s-s...
mircea_popescu: ;;echo $randomnick $randomnick sitting in a
tree, k-i-s-s...
cazalla: you know you can have
the best of both worlds with a meyer lemon, i have a
tree, best lemons in
the world
MisterE: my problem is nobody
to make me food heh
MisterE: streets in Bangkok
that are usually jam packed will be wide open
MisterE: but
this shuts
the country down like nothing else
mircea_popescu: blood gushing everywhere. and my apple... now has a
tooth in it.
MisterE: my stomach is a rock so I dunno why i eat chilies by
the
truckload
mircea_popescu: true story : me in a park, on bench, with apple. big fat red juicy apple. little girl sorta shyly eyeing my apple from a safe distance. so i extend it for her
to
take a bite. she bites and sorta... gets stuck ? starts shaking her head and eventually pulls away ?
pankkake: without
the fiber it must be harder
to digest
MisterE: in US I used
to get
the low acid concentraded OJ
pankkake: I like
the small oranges, clementines and mandarins, maybe because I'm a filthy individualist?
MisterE: hmm I do like me a fresh orange juice in
the morning but lately
the acid is not my friend :/
mircea_popescu: imo
the biggest drawback of xckd is his psychotic relation
to sexuality.
mircea_popescu: i dunno man. i really see it
there. i love myself a summer evening apple, but also a winter morning orange.
pankkake: I would actually argue
that apples are better
than oranges
too
pankkake: MisterE: used
to be my forum sig somewhere. it's an addiction, I always
try
to quit but I fall in it again
mircea_popescu: pankkake answer contained in question : because everyone was
too busy derping with xkcd
Apocalyptic: <intgr> "Theo De Raadt just set OPENSSL_NO_HEARTBEAT on libssl for OpenBSD. Shame
that
the actual flag is OPENSSL_NO_HEARTBEATS, so
the commit does nothing."
mircea_popescu: this isn't really meant as a first line "learn about bitcoin and share your feelings" venue anyway.
there's
the various forums and social media sites for
that.
artifexd: Of course,
that increases
the chicken/egg problem. Maybe being ident would be enough?
artifexd: After
the 12 hour
troll fest in here last night, I wouldn't be surprised if #bitcoin-assets became +m and
to get +v you had
to be rated in
the wot.
artifexd: ;;later
tell kakobrekla Why did assbot rate a bunch of people?
mircea_popescu: is
this
the same dork
that kept
trying
to pump ixcoin ?
fluffypony: Apocalyptic: did
they seriously misspell official?
nubbins`: ;;later
tell moiety
Taegukgi yep, May 18 nope
pankkake: castracoin should be enough
then
pankkake: rape credits would be better. make
them work like carbon credits
BingoBoingo: This is what,
the seventh, eighth
time already?
BingoBoingo: So BTC is pretty much back
to where it was 2 days ago
pankkake: bagholders would be at
the end of
the rope
pankkake: can be either hanging
themed or bondage
themed
fluffypony: you can use it
to
tie up your actual money?
MisterE: I read a city minted a coin, only
the local gov can mine it, and
they're giving it for charitable
things people do
to help
the city. now you can exchange for a
title or crappy council resolution but
trying
to make more incentives for it.
cazalla: fluffypony: WF is one step ahead, you have been able
to buy WSO on making money with crypto for some
time
fluffypony: the altcoin section of Bitcointalk is becoming
the Warrior Forums of BTC
mircea_popescu: so expect
to have flat earth bitcoin, godcoin, globalwarmingcoin, etc.
mircea_popescu: and every single nutty idea will
try
to pile itself on
top of
the
train, as it were, just as long as
they figure "thge
train is going somewhere"
MisterE: fairly lengthy
troll
today from minersdidit
mircea_popescu: that's
the winklevoss
twins, in a word : scum facebook sorta-drug with it.
mircea_popescu: and every
time something looks like it's going
that way,
the filth
tries
to hitch a ride.
mircea_popescu: now, all new
things start at
the edge and move
towards
the center.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony basically it's like
this : society consists at all
times of some people in
the center, and a bunch of nuts at
the edges.
they are at
the edges because
they suck.
fluffypony: what in actual fuck are
these people smoking
fluffypony: currencies are going
to be
traded in
the very near future."
